Claims ! on the town arc not like county claims | ] __hnwkcd about at 50 cents on the dollar J , and with good management the good 1 credit of the Town of Beaufort can always l?e sustained. The figures of George W. \ Roberts are not found incorrect and the Grand Jury at the next tt rm of court , will not have occasion to investigate his 1 accounts. ' Last Friday Geo. Holmes treasurer oft, Beaufort county reported to the county Commissioners that he hud on hand 1 $1128.10. A few minutes later we presented ' a witness ticket issued at the last term of court, to the treasurer and he refused to cash it. lie acknowledged that he had , 1 the above sum or. haul. Now by what'] right he refuses he only knows. In r ' different place than li< aufort !> ? would be ( obliged to show < ius 1 tor lis afusah i A CAItl). Be \xjfort, S. C..

Respectfully yours, SlIKPAKD I). QlI.BF.R7, ( School Commissioner. , I.nst Thursday evening a full house c greeted the first dramatic entertainment t of Magnolia Lodge I. O. Q. T. The ver 1 diet of ull was that the ucting was a * credit to the members, and far superior | to any thing anticipated from the first appearance of amateurs bn the stage, j The scenery painted by .McGregor was ' in good taste, and the audience under the 11 wand of Mr. Mark kept the best of order, | and at his signal the band discoursed ' their sweetest music. The Beaufort Lyceum will make q their first appearance on the evening of the 17th and we wish them success equal j to that achieved by the I. O. G. T. Meeting of the Conntj OommUiioner*. J : i The County Commissioners met, last ; Thursday. A resolution was adopted | I rescinding the resolution appropriating ' *1 ,500 for the Juuc term of Court and | directing the treasurer to report the same. | ] Another resolution was adopted that all 1 licenses for selling liquor by the quart shall date from the payment of the money int> the treasury.
