It was the intention to give the new overseer of the farm f700 pur year, he same as Mr. McDowell, who has been there several years, receives, but a thoroughly corupent man, a democrat and a practical farmer, loo, offerlng to take the ilace for $500, his wife and mother both roing with him to attend to the domestlc wolk, brought them up a stiimp. What ,o do they hardly knew. Mr. McCorinick, who had been elected, had been jromised $700, though never havlng been redited with being a farmer or knowlng mucb ot anything about the management of a farm. The $500 offer was by far the most economlcal, the most practical, the best In every way for the county, but It Interfered with the plans of the riug, and must not be. So at the last meeting of the Superlntendents Mr. McCormlck was voted $600 a year salaiy. A direct loss to the county of f 100, besldes the loss of a practical farmer to manage the affairs of the farm. lf that Is not ring work, in the name of Qeneral Jacksou what would you cal) it?
