Reluctantly, Miller repeated his

the circumstances he was not sorry
that he. was to be returned TO the pen

life at large would not be safe so

THE FISCAL COURT.

It should be matter of great pride to those citizens
Of Morgan county who are interested in the advancement
and progress of the county to witness the careful yet
tain and xed purpose of the Fiscal Court to do all in
their power to protect the people they represent and not
pposey put us in the attitude of trying to evade our
legal and moral obligations.
The personel of the Court we all recognize to be men
Of high character and good business judgment and while
most of them have had little experience in the positions
they occupy, careful analysis of the record they have
made at this their first meeting convnces us that in
careful and way they will use their utmost effort to
do nothing that will bring dscred upon the county or
retard healthy and continuous improvement of its condi
tions and the development of its resources.
They are going to try and solve their problems in a
way that will protect the taxpayers and work injury to no
one. They have task before them and one that will
require their best efforts but we believe that they will
arrive at the right solution

immense satisfaction. He took Alan's

Alan recalled, which he himself had
been examining when he had found
Wassaquam watching him. He drew
out the drawer and dumped Its con.
tents out upon the floor; he turned
the drawer about then, and pulled the
bottom out Of II. Beneath the bottom
which he had removed appeared now
another bottom and a few sheets Of
paper scrawled In an uneven hand and
with different colored inks.
At sight of them, Spearman. who
had followed them into the room, ut
tered an oath and sprang forward. The
Indians small dark hand grasped
Spearman's wrist. and his face
twitched itself into a fierce grin
which showed how little civilization
had modified in him the aboriginal
passions. But Spearman did not try
to force his way; instead, he drew
back suddenly.
