COURT HOUSE NOTES.
-----
WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE
COUNTY'S
CAPITOL.
The force in
the sheriff's office are sending out the commissions to the various road
overseers appointed by the commissioners court.
Ben Taylor,
the district clerk, complains of distressingly dull business in his court.
Judge
Howard, the county treasurer, is recovering from an inconvenient, not to say
unpleasant attack of jaundice. The judge attributes his quick recovery
largely to the efficacy of the hot baths here.
County Clerk
W C Rogers has purchased the residence property of J. B. LeNoir in the W. S.
Clark addition and he and his family will move thereof in a few days. The
price paid was $1400.
County
Superintendent Eddins is a very busy man arranging the inner workings of his
office on a systematic plan. He has set apart Mondays and Saturdays for
office days. The other four he will visit the schools.
The
commissioners court has approved the final report of the retiring treasurer,
Col. W. D. Gaines. The cash of the county has all been accounted for to
the last dime, and turned over to the incoming treasurer.
The court
this week approved the official bonds of Tax Collector Reeves, P. R. Stripling,
(j)ustice of the peace of precinct No. 7, and W. A. Martin, justice of the peace
of precinct No. 8.
Constable
Theo Peebles has returned from Waco where he went as a witness in the examining
trial of the parties charged with stealing the mules from the Miller farm some
time back.
Sheriff John
Greer went to Highbank Tuesday night to investigate the shooting at the
conductor of an I. & G. N. freight train. No definite information could be
obtained but the sheriff has a "lead" that the believes will develop the facts
in the case.
