The county court found much NOR c
business confronting it at the January
term last week than has usually be en-
the case and as a result two aaNs y ere
required to handle it.
Judge S. N. Smith MADE his quar-
terIy report, which shows taat he has
paid the interest on the $40. uuC out
standing Pike Bonds. Only $4,000 of
Railroad Bonds remain unpaid: the
amount was originally $4,000 and they
were Issued TO assist the tennessee
Central to build through the cgunty, in
1900. The remaining smali aaeount
will no doubt be retired this year. The
Pike Bond sinking fund is shown to
contain $1042.44.
Judge Smith was direclad by the
court TO enter into the proper contract
with the State Highway commission
for the construction, reconstruction
and maintenance of the designated sys-
TEN of state or Federsl sOads or
bridges, in whole or III part, Eithin
the limits Of said county,"
A motion was made to pay the Coun-
ty Dem onstrator $500. The vote stood
9 to against it. That inarsssss his
county will lend no aid towaaSaisss such
food and conservation work as was
done by Mrs. E, B. Cope in cur county
last year, Since the government pays
all the salary, we may be favored with
the labor of Mrs. Cope again this year
in spite of the rundown by the court.

School teaching force, was elected
County Superintendent of Public In
struction over Prof. ]. S. Cline who

same amount, making total Of $70O.
