Jacob Gilbert, Esq., was appointed
to audit the accounts of the county olll

Why h democrat should receive this
appointment, every time for eleven (11)
long years, contrary to a private demo
cratic rule of court, is something hard
to understand.
It is certainly not in harmony with
justice and contrary to said rule.
When Judge Hucher was on the
bench, republicans were' favored with
this appointment, as well as demo
crats.

Orders of sale were grantrd in the
estates of Mary Teats, dee'd., and Ellen
Gilbert, dee'd.
Returns to orders of salo were con
firmed in estates of Elias Shot.berger,
dee'd., David Herrold, dee'd and Joel
Bilger, dee'd.
Utiles were granted on the heirs, in
the estates of Jacob Lepley, dee'd.,
Jerome Angler, dee'd.. to accept the
real estate of said decedents at the ap
praisements or show cause why the
same shall not be sold.
All the accounts and widows' ap
praisements were confirmed as adver
tised.
Since the proceedings aro so very
short, of this very small court in this
very little district, it would he well to
tell our people just how long court
lasted, and what it costs to run It, for
no doubt they, as tax payers, will be In
terested in knowing what is done with
their hard earned money, collected as
tux.
There was a session on Monday fore
noon, lasting one hour. Court adjourn
ed till half past one, and in a scant
hour and a half the business was about
all transacted ; it adjourned until
Tuesday, at ! n. m., at which time, It
convened. The list of jurors were call
ed, which required less than half an
hour, when it again adjourned until
Thursday at 2 o'clock p. in. This ses
sion-lasted considerably less than one
hour.
All the businessof the courts, as you
will see, did not near consume oua-half
a day.
Not a case was tried, nor was one
judgement taken. This costs the
county about $400.00, and ' the
state over ($500.00) five-hundred dol
lars. So the people can see how their
money Is spent. -
But that paid by the state don't ef

How much more time he would have

that big extra money in addition to his
