WILL SUPERVISE
 ANS REINDEER KILL

Annual slaughtering of reindeer on Nunivak Island for the Alaska Native Service will be supervised by Dale Belcher. assistant director of native resources.
 Belcher left by plane for the Westward yesterday to look over the herds for the fall slaughter ing.
 Possibility that the kill might be postponed this season was express ed by Belcher. Reports indicate that animals are still in thin condition due to the lateness of the summer season, he said, If condi- tions do not improve the kill might be cancelled,
 Reports also indicate that the herd was depleted appreciably dur ing the winter. Hundreds of anil mals died of starvation when heavy snows encrusted with ice covered the grazing areas. Belcher will be gone about six weeks.

(0L0RFUL ACTON ' FEATURE lS BILL,
 CAPITOL THEATRE

M-G-M chose wisely in assigning Wallace Beery to the title role oi its new action drama, "The Mighty McGurk,' now being shown on the Capitol Theatres screen, for the role of the clustering. beer-drink- ing former champ is made to order for the talents of the robust Beery
 McGurk's life is beset ty enough trials to make even a less staunch hero turn to the bottle for strength and solace. He is bounded by hi saloon-owning boss, Clemson, to ap- propriate the property of the Salva- ton Army even though it means ruining the career of his former protege, Johnny Burden. He is tor mented by Mamie, his lady frieno of years standing, who wants him to make something of himself. Ht is made the unwilling foster parent of Ripper, lovable orphaned youngster, and is torn between the youngser's love and the decision tc hand him over to an unscruplous guardian for the, sake of reward
 In the end, the good forces tri- umph over the bad and McGurk swings his mighty punch to the side of the salvationists, makes h.s peace with the relentless Mamie and with the latter makes a home for the hero worshipping litle Nip Fer, all of which events are con- cluded to the accompaniment oi two-fisted action, bountiful laughs and unflagging interest.

Consumer Income,
 Buying Holds Up
 In Second Quariel
(By The Associated Press)

Consumer income and consumer buying held up well in the second quarter of this year, although bus mess men were shying away from buying. According to the Com merce Department, price cuts in June served to sustain the volume of consumer buying of number of goods for which demand had been weakening.
 The American flag should be placed in or near the polling places on every election day.

The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-10-13

Provisions were also made for the
construction of buildings, for court
house and jail, and for levying and
collecting taxes. One of the last
parts of the resolution reads:
Resolved, That the County Court
of Washington County shall begin
and he held yearly on the fourth
Tuesdays of those months in which
other County Courts are held, and
shall have equal power and juris-
diction with any County Court in
this State"
One of the first things to be done
was to hold an election to see where
the County Seat should be located.
At this point, Mr.. Funk, of Funks-
town, then Jerusalem, made bid
to win the election of a place for
the County Seat for his town AS
mentioned in those columns before,
it he had won, the growth of these
two towns so near to each other
might have been reversed He made
all kinds of claims for his town, but
lost. And the people from the other
side of the mountains to the west,
particularly the big one, Sideling
Hill, found the same difficulty that
paved the way for the separation of
our County from Frederick. They
objected to being required to cross
the mountain to vote on the ques-
ton of the location of the County
Seat, and were permitted to vote
on their side of the mountain. And
of course the time came when they
also removed their entire govern
ment to their own territory.
The machinery for the government
of the new County had to be set in
motion, and this took time and work.
Money had to be raised, and this was
one of the jobs that fell to the sher-
iff. The office of Sheriff. was zone
of great dignity, and included that
of tax collector and financial agent
of the County" The need for funds
was immediate and urgent. The
County was divided into hundreds"
and an Assessor appointed for each.
A very interesting comment on that
job is found in the fact that one of
the most numerous cases listed in the
early court records is contempt of
Court in refusing to act as Assessor.
No doubt some of these preferred
to pay their fines than to go to their
neighbors to assess and collect taxes.

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

Going back couple of centuries
back to the time of the American
Revolution, we find our Washing
ton County just in the act of being
formed OF course Hagerstown is
older than that, older than the Coun-
ty in fact, for Jonathan Hager laid
out his "Elizabeth-Tow about fif-
teen years before the County was
established and the Country born.
From the time of the founding OF
Elizabeth Town, now Hagerctown
and for some time before that, this
area was part of Frederick County
Put for years before Independence,
with the increase of activities in this
valley, and especially the beginning
of the town later to become the new
County's seat, great inconvenience
was experienced in transacting legal
matters and other affairs for the cit
liens of this valley from across the
mountains. One year before indie
pendence, the Provincial Conven-
ton, meeting at Annapolis, provided
by act for separate elections or cleo
ton places for three far-lying parts
of the then existing Frederick Coun-
ty. One of these was for the con-
venience of the people of this valley,
at Elizabeth Town This was called
1.-THE Upper District" and the divid-
ing line was the same as the line be-
tween this County and Frederick
today.
In the fall of the same year a mem
Der was elected to the Convention for
the Upper District, William Baird.
And in January of 1776 the following
officers were elected for the Militia
in this district colonies, John Stull
and Samuel Beall; Mathematical
onels, Andrew Kench and Joseph
Smith; first majors, Henry Shyrock
and Richard Davis; second majors,
oSOl &C WO1IL dllu Sildl lCS swearing
ton; and quartermasters, Ellie Will
liams and James Chapline
It was at this same time that there
was Convention legislation to pro-
mote the activities of the Hughes of
this area in casting and furnishing
cannon for the public. The particu-
lar motion by the Convention ex-
tended the time on a contract with
the forge owners in making cannon,
indicating that the original contract
was of a much earlier date.
At meeting of the Convention a
few weeks after Independence, there
were present as delegates from this
upper district, Samuel Beall, Samuel
Hughes, John Stull and Henry
Schnebly Through these delegates
the people residing on this side of
the mountains petitioned the Con-

vention to consider a resolution di-
viding the County. This request
was heard, and on the same day the
resolution with all the details for the
division was brought in. Somewhat
typical of legislative action, the new
resolution was at that time laid on
the table" Several days later it
was brought up again and immediate
ly someone made a motion that the
consideration of the measure be post
poned till the next session of con-
vention But this old stall failed, for
that motion was lost, and the bill
had to be considered The bill was
shortly passed.
One portion of this bill, as enacted,
reads:
Resolved, That the inhabitants of
the said counties of Washington and
Montgomery shall have, hold, and
enjoy all such rights and privileges
as are held and enjoyed by the in
habitants of any county in this
State
The next part of the resolution
names the County's first Commits
sioners; Joseph Sprigg, Joseph Smith,
John Barnes, Andrew Rench, Daniel
Hughes, William Yates and Conrad
Hogmire.
The remainder of the lengthy reso-
luton deals largely with the one
duty of the Commissioners and sher-
riff, to be elected Of great import
ance, judging by the resolution, was
the building of a courthouse and a
prison" A site of land, near to the
selected place of votaing, was to be
chosen, and the commissioners were
to purchase it, drawing a draft upon
the sheriff of Washington County
for payment The sheriff in turn
was to collect taxes from the citizens,
for this and other expenses. In
case there was difficulty in arriving
at satisfactory price for the land,
the commissioners were to summon
twelve freeholders upon the site,
who were to judge as to price.
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-10-13

At that time many fines were paid
in tobacco.
1t was still in Revolutionary days,
that is, just after the close of the
war, and things were still in a war
state, so the funds raised for the
construction of the new Courthouse
and Jail were insufficient. Conse-
quently poor building was put up,
in both places. The Jail was To-
Gated a short distance from the
square to the northwest, in the al
ley between Washington and Frank
lin streets. 1t was a small building
made of round logs, without win
dows, and with a door "thickly stud
ded with wrought nails, giving it
the appearance of that strength
which was probably, in fact, want
ing"
The Courthouse was built in the
center of the public square, on
stills, and was later quoted as a
great annoyance to the people who
lived around the square. 1t was
described as place where "it was
impossible to obtain suitable space
for commodious building without
obstructing the two principal high
ways of the town." which no doubt
it did 1t also became an "unsightly"
obstruction because of the open mar
ket place below, and the horses con-
stantly hitched there, and the loca-
ton and use of the Whipping Post"
After thirty years of use, it was
ready to be replaced.
