THE COUNTY DADS.
Annual Meeting* of the Board of Supervisors
now in Session at Jrlarrlson—Brief Account of
Their Doings, and What is Before Them.
JB'or the first time in many yeays the
board of supervisors o£ Olare county
failed to hold a spring session, consequently no organization had been perfected until the representatives of the
several townships and wards assembled
at Harrison on Monday,
The board met _in the court room
at 11 oolook and was called to order by
Clerk Heisman. Supervisor Tinker nom*
jnated Supervisor Kelley, of Surry, for
temporary chairman and he was elected.
Dr. Kelly "waa much at home in the chair,
having served as presiding officer of the
board for the past four years,. A recess
was taken for dinner, and upon reconvening the first work whs the choosing of
a permanent chairman, the cahdiclHtea
were Supervisors Kelly, and Hampton, of
Sueridan. It was evident before the bal-
lou that the vote had been carefully canvassed and that very few ballots would be
necessary. It was a good natured fight,
though the Tesuli. was" a* bitter dose to
some of the outside party bosses, whose
hostility towards this corner of the
county crops out whenevei 'anything is
asked.   The ballots were thus:
Kelly, 10.
Hampton, 9,
Temple, 1.
Second ballot:
Kelly, 7.
Hampton, 13.
Though one the first townships organized, it is the first time in the history of
the county that Sheridan has been honored with a c airmanship. Mr. Hampton has
served several terms on the board, and is
thoroughly conversant with the work and
will no doubt make a good officer.
After a recess the chairman announced
the following standing committees:-
Footing of rolls:
Kirkbride, Temple, and Tinker.
Equalization;
Davis, -Kelly, and Vanbensohotoh.
Settlement with county treasurer:
Goodman, Lewis, and Kirvan.
Settlement with Supts. of poor:
Boulter, Comer, and Schilling.
Sheriffs and deputies' accounts:
Fleming, Davis, ana.Hosier.
Justices* and Constafiles' accounts:
Eiobardson, Popple, and Montney.
Miscellaneous accounts*
Toman, Bailey, and Hampton.
Apportionment of  taxes:
ct-i._u_„ .  n 1 jm .„
K_i__jiiixiif;, vjr-Juuu-C-j,  aisxx xouipto.
County buildings:
Bailey, Lewis, and Tinker.
Bejected taxes:
Kelly, Fleming, and Kirkbride,
In the foregoing list it will be observed
that our city received tho chairmanship
of the four most important committees.
About the first work done was the re-
"ppointmont- of W« "W. Harper, of Harrison, as county drain commissioner.
The contract with the Detroit house of
correction for five years from January
1st, next, was renewed, nnd tho notice
from the auditor gpner"l to tho effect
that the tux payersjnust shell out something over $6,000 to help along the Bich
adminif-tration, was tabled, and some of
the Kepnblican members would havo felt
much easier if it could have been laid
under the table, , nevermore  to   appear.
The question of that old indebtedness
to tho state js before the board again,
and the disposition sooms to be to contest the right of the State to its claim.
anryeaxs gobs by partiB_ins_hip 4u -rtnj-
form has rarely appeared in the deliberations of fcliabo-trd, and it km worked' to
tha lasting benefit of the tav. navAi-. and
much more and better service has been
rendered by reason of the good fooling.
But emboldened by their partial victory
of last fall, the Bepublican machine at
tha capital was on band at tMs session to
s«e that things went their way as far as
possible, and no falling out of line by the
faithful would be-tolerated. Thefirsfc un-
disputable evidence of the decree of the
machine was in the award of the
county printing. It had been the custom
of former boards to "pass around" this
work among the several newspapers, and
under this plan the award should go
to ThS Coubieb or Farwell Begister.
The contest was somewhat spirited,
and for a fame the result was in doubt,
as there was a disposition among some to
conform to the resolution as to rotation.
But if this was done it would take a few
dollars out of the clutches of .the
machine, and what was worse, cut of the
party, as Bro. Boys had lately bolted the
republican camp to the prohibitionists,
v/hich is the highest crime a Bepublican
can commit. Accordingly the party lash
was applied, tho rotation plan thrown to
the, dogs, and by a strict party vote fche
job went to the lately acquired organ at
Harrison. Tho vote, too, was without
precedent, having been done by ballot.
This is as it stood: The Cleaver, 10, Tnfi
CoraiER, 7. The Begisfcor, 1, Supervis-
or Kelly was absent, and Supervisor Popple failed to vote.
In the re-eloctionof: Frank A. Carndross
as a momber of tho boftrd of school exam
iners,; tho^Wi'isanship again cropped out,
the, only opposing candidate being Prof-
Lihaburyj of Harrison, a democrat.
However, Mr. Carncross has most acceptably "filled the position for two terms, and
Ms qualifications for the position are beyond question.
The only other work so far done has
been in preparing committee reports.
The latest reports predict adjournment
about Wednesday next,
Hiawatha up to Date.

•j
A boy working iu a bicycle factory
at Indianapolis laid aside a piece at a
time until he had enough to build him-
self a bicycle. The firm discovered the
fact arrested the boy on the charge of
grand larceny. The boj's lawyer proved
by actual facts, gleaned ' from the firm
themselves and from employes, that it
costs hut $16.50 to put on the market an
$80 bicycle, and therefore the material
stolen by the boy did not amount to
enough to convict Mm of grand larceny.
It has long been known that there is an
immense profit in bicyles, and while the
price has fallen much in the past year or
Wo the facts show that there is yet room.,
for a great decrease in tho price of high
grade \fheols.
