Our attention has been called
TO the fact that in printing the
proceedings of the January ses-
sion of the Board Of Supervisors,
we made an error in saying that
]. A. Lindsey was allowed 1897 40
for circuit court allowances. The
fact is Bro. Jordan never had as
much as 1897 40 at one time in
his life-and wouldn't know what
to do with it if he did have it.
The allowances should have read:
~. A. Lindsey, circuit court al
lowance, $118.25; S. D. Donnell,
circuit court allowance, 1887
40" This amount was of course
for jury fees, etc.
