Reunion Of WillistOn Veterans.

On this particular day there are as
sembled thousands Of loyal citizens to
celebrate the time in American history
that is SO dear to everyone in the
United States. It seems truly that his
tory does repeat, for as that instru-
ment was put forth that put a nation
into existence, on this day so also
was fought the battle that held this
nation together-the battle Of Gettys-
burg. Truly this day has saaouble sig
niicance to the men who wore the grey
in the sixties.
Those men who shoudered the mus
ket in behalf of the Lost Cause are fast
passing away and we, the remnant of
that sturdy band, appreciate any cour-
tesy or honor that may be shown us.
The reveille of our day has sounded
and soon we are to hear the retreat.
At this time we have assembled at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Craw-
ford at the suggestion of the latter.
Annually she has thrown open her
hospitable home and has provided a
sumptuous dinner to the veterans Of
civil war in this locality. We have been
permitted to meet together and talk of
old days, to recount the incidents both
serious and humorous of the period that
tried the souls of men. We have met
for the purpose of social intercourse.
And now, inasmuch as we have been
permitted to meet from year to year.
we desire to express our thanks to God
who has spared our lives. We are
thankful. too, that we have a woman
in our community who has so much en-
terprise and such a sense Of patriotism
that she has undertaken this annual
task of calling US together. In addition
to this we desire to thank her for her
pains in the preparation of this bounti-
ful meal, and we do this day subscribe
our names to this paper as an evidence
of our appreciation. We sincerely hope
that we may be spared to many more
such reunions. and that you, MRS.
Crawford, may be spared to be our
hostess. GEORGE W. DURBN,

Farmers Meeting Next Sat-
urday Afternoon.

There will be held in Somerville Sat-
urday afternoon, July 8, meeting of
farmers to inspect the corn plots of W.
T. Loggins and j. H. Flippin, | have
visited these plots during the year and
think them worth the time Of any
farmer in the county to visit them.
The cultivation of both plots has been
such as can be done by any farmer in
the county, no unusual or expensive
machinery being used in the prepara-
ton or cultivation of either plot, and
the plot of four or more acres Of the
Loggins crop is on land redeemed with
in the past two years from some Of the
worst washed and quilted lands in Fay-
ette county. Both plots are right at
town and | desire to have as many
farmers as possible see them.

collect them. The trustee performed
his duty in the matter, but it appears
to the court that the collectors were
negligent in their duty in not collecting
hundreds of poll taxes which were not
collected. In every district in the coun-
ty are negroes who were assessed with
poll taxes and who should pay the tax,
but who have marked opposite their
names by these collectors, ''gohe, !"
mot found. "double assessed" dead"
'insolvent" and other reasons, when
the parties are there If the collector
will just hunt him up and make him
pay. The county schools are losing
many dollars each year from two caus-
es, namely, not assessing polls properly
and not collecting those assessed. Both
troubles are easily remedied and should
be before another year.
The court was addressed just before
adjournment by Capt. H. c. Moorman
of this city and L. D. Bejaek of Mem
phis on the question of constitutional
convention.

County Court Meets In Quar-
terly Session.

The county Court OF Fayette county
met in regular quarterly session We'd
nesday, Tuesday which is the date Of
the meeting, falling on July 4. There
were present thirty four justices who
make up the court, the three absentees
being Esq. McNamee and Esq. Franklin
Of LaGrange and Esq. Steger of Moscow,
this being the first session of the court
which the present Falcon representative
remembers ever attending at which
Esq. Steger was not present.
The docket was one of the longest
the court has had in a long time, but
twas made up of such items as called
forth little discussion and the court
proceeded rapidly with it, covering more
than sixty of the almost one hundred
items on the docket by the noon adjourn
ment.
The appropriations were of the usual
kind, there being rather more spprop-
iations than usual for levee work, this
being the season of the year when most
of the levee work is done. The largest
single appropriation was for $1118.5O
for the new tin roof put on the court
house since the last meeting Of the court
and which was authorized at the April
term of the court The old slate roof
had been there since the erection of the
building in 1878 and had been many
times repaired until repair was impos-
sible, according'to the opinions of roof
experts. Another item which was sur
prising to the court was the bill from
the Western hospital at Bolivar, where
this county now has nearly fifty in
mates. Fayette county is allowed there
without pay about thirty, leaving near
ly score to be paid for by the county,
and their annual expenses there run far
above $1,000. But few members of the
court were aware of the number of
these unfortunates this county haa
there.
The report of the board of equaliza-
tion which was read showed inefficient
system of handling the tax assessments
under the present laws and members of
Z the court were caused to see some Of
the losses to the county by the present
and past manner Of assessing taxes.
The trustee presented to the court
his customary application for releases
from taxes which have not been collect
ed up to this date, and the justices
foundmany poll taxes on each district
list which should have been collected
and could have been. These taxes are
payable each year to the trustee at bis
Office here, and If not paid by March
they become delinquent and are placed
in the hands Of collectors whose duty
