Peels Old Copy of
Republican From the
Walls of Old House

An interesting remnant Of an early
newspaper of the county, the Mar
shall Republican, was torn the other
day from the walls of an old house
that H. G. Buck is wrecking on his
farm a mile and a quarter northeast
OF Rhodes. The house was built by
Joseph Tuffree. who died In this
city in 1859, Mr. Buck says.
He explains that in the days be-
fore plastering on lath was general,
the lath were commonly covered by
pasting newspapers on them and
then the wall paper was pasted on
tho newspapers. The fragment of
the old Republican was torn from
the lath. 1t bears the date of
Thursday, March 1, 1877, and the
only parts recovered intact were the
top of the title page and dirty frag-
ments OF other pages.
A. III. Neidig, whose son, fiction
writer for the Saturday Evening
Post, only recently was In the city,
was then editor Of the Republican.
Mention in one blurred item is made
OF the children and relatives of Mr..
and Mrs. Moses r. Bovee, OF Green
Mountain, participating In the cele-
bration of the fiftieth anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bovee's wedding.
The Times Republican was con-
solidation Of this old weekly and the
Marshall County Times, another
pioneer weekly.

RECEIPTS FOR MONTH OF JULY
TOTAL MORE THAN
$500.
COURT NOW MORE THAN
PAYING ITS OWN WAY
On Basis Of July Business An An
nual Income of $18,191 Would Be
misunderstanding of Court Can
Not BE Computed Unless Saving in
Hearings Of Cases Is included.

July was another record breaking
month In the municipal court. Re-
ceipts for the month were tho largest
OF any month since the court was es-
tablished, and the clerk Of the court
turned more money into the city as
a result than at the close OF any
previous similar period. The receipts
OF the court for the month totaled
$1b15.95, and after the monthly ex-
penses Of the court had been paid the
clerk transferred $1.267.se to the city
clerk. The court. contrary to general
expectation prior to it's establishment,
has been able to pay ITS own way
during tho first few months OF its
existence.
The July business was on basis Of
$1s.1si . year. The salary list for the
year 10 $4,000. and judging by the
warrants drawn for tho past month
and tho bailiffs fees. these two items
for the year would total $2.ss4. The
three largest items Of expense, for .
year, based on the July cost, would
total 1s.ss4. IN addition. the expense
Of printing IL quite an item but is
paid by tho oity and no record is
made on the books OF the court. From
the July report Of the court, however.
II 10 easily seen that the court, II
maintained thruout The year az in
July. would be 4 good investment for
tho taxpayers.
Court Not Run For Gain.
The municipal court, however, like
all other courts, u not established for
the purpose Of returning a revenue to
the city or county. Few II any, courts
are money-malking institutions and
fortunately they are not intended to
be measured by their income or out
lay.
The real value of the municipal
court from financial standpoint can
not be estimated, unless the calcuia-
tor can determine tho difference Of
cost Of all cases tried In the city
nent would have been heard In the
Justice district courts and the cost
Of trial In the city court today. 1he

" Officers, who have questioned tho
ability o. the municipal court to be
