If the citizens of the county
would take more interest in the
quarterly sessions of the County
Court and would attend each SEES
sion, they could learn more about
the way the affairs of the county
are managed. The great trouble
with the majority of tax PAYERS is
that they will stay at home or if
they come to town, sit around the
stores and talk politics until court
1djSurns, and then go off and
curse the court for running the
county in debt. 1t seems hard
tor the court to realize that it
should set the people an example
In the practice of economy. but
remaining away from the quarter
Iy sessions doesn't tend to remedy
the wrong.
