this place, recalls that on the 9th

the earliest in years.

NEWS NOTES FROM
THE COURT HOUSE
Items OF Interest To Record
Readers Picked Up At The
Temple OF Justice.

Sheriff j. II. klrtley was looking
after some official business in Leb.
anon and Morgan townships the
first part of the week.
County Judge W. T. Horn came
up from Cave City Tuesday and
spent some time at the court house.
He left that day for Hardy and
Williford, where he will spend a
few days looking after official busi-
ness. ,y.,.
Clerk E. A. ~Boyce had a very
light business in his Southern Dis
trict office during the month
of August, doing perhaps a small
er amount of work in that month
than in any since he has been in
office.
The clerks statement showed
that on the 1st day of August
Sharp county was in debt in the
sum of $7,344.33. Statements from
other counties prove that Sharp
owes less money than any other
county in this section of the state
with the exception of Baxter, which
has cash balance in the treasury.
Of course this county is unfortu-
nate in its loss sustained in the late
flood, but it is by no means alone
jim this misfortune. Other counties
suffered as we'll.
Very lately Circuit Judge Baker
advised Sheriff Kirtley to the effect
that he would permit him to be re-
imbursed by the county in the
amount of expenses incurred in the
capture of criminals who are at
considerable distance from the
county. Everybody knows that
since the sheriff has been on a sal
ary in this county no man has held
that office who felt justified in max
ing long and expensive trips after
parties under indictment here who
had left the country. The fact is
that the sheriff could very quickly
spend the greater portion of his sal
ary in that way, and no officer, so
far as we know, has ever been
censured for not doing that.
Judge J. B. Baker will convene a
special term of circuit court here
today. The purpose Of this term is
to hear the report of Jas. M. Simp-
son, who was appointed by Judge
Baker to audit the accounts of John
W. Thompson, former county treas
urer, and to take further steps in
the matter Of the alleged shortage
Of Mr.. Thompson with the public
funds. Mr.. Simpson has been hard
at work in an examination of pub
lie records at the court house since
the term Of circuit court in August.
AS the matter now stands, the
Thompson case Is in circuit court
on appeal from the judgment Of
the county court, which court gave
judgment against Mr.. Thompson in
the sum of $2,79852, in accordance
with a report made by the COM
missioners Of accounts.

Milton Stokes had a fine twelve
acre field of alfalfa on his Straw
berry river farm before the big
overflow came, but the high water
ruined the entire crop. Water stood
on the whole field and when the
flood subsided a settling of mud
was left on the alfalfa, killing every
stalk it is said.
The revival services at the Meth
odist church closed last Sunday
night, after having been in progress
for a couple of weeks. During the
meeting there were eighteen acces-
sions to the church and a general
revival among the church member

by all to have been the most sue
cessful series of services held in the
town in a number of years.
