At the last term of this court we appointed committees to look into and report on the various affairs of the county of public interest, snd they will make their final' reports st the next term of this court. y We have,, during our attendance at (; i this term, inquired into the matter of delinquent taxes in our county and find that here are some on the hooks which appear to be collectible. W# recommend that the sheriff proceed to collect ell executions as required by law, and make prompt reports of his action. Our attention has been called to the existence throughout the county of so-ealled filling stations where idle persons are accustomed to resort, es pecially on Sundays. We recommend that the peace officers of the county exercise watchfulness over these places to see that no violations of law are permitted to occur, and that should any occur the offending per- Glnee May Problem Washington, June 14—With the Cleveland convention and no forced thrills now' a part of American his tory, all attention is centered on the real show that is scheduled to take place in New York in ten days.

MeAdoo should desire to throw his vote to the Virginian, if it turns abput that Mr. MeAdoo finds he can not win. The convention knows that Virginia will go Democratic whether Mr. Glass is nominated or not. That applies as forcefully to any other can didate that might be groomed from the South. The secret of success, according to the best political wisdom of the can didate makers, lies in the selection of one who trill carry the strongest votes Olsefohere in the country, lir. Glass, of course, might command as strong a following as any other Democrat in New England. His re cord as secretary of the treasury was such as to command confidence of that section and of the business cen ters generally. Besides being a news paper publisher, he follows farming, too, which would not be to-bis disad vantage in the great agricultural stretches of the West. Yet there is a question as to whether some other cannot command stronger support than Glass in the East a Mi West. And that is receiv ing serious attention.

'Most hospitals accept girls with only high school education and there is s great demand for more nurses. There is no work in which one may feel that she is contributing more to humanity than in this calling. The work is often hard, but many times the nurse has pleasant sur roundings and makes grateful friends. A nurse just out of training re ceives five dollars for twelve hours duty and her living expenses, which count up to much more per month than the school teacher in even the socalled best paid positions. More of our girls seeking a life work should turn to this profession. gation cf same, and report to us their condition, and the expenditure made in connection therewith. In poqiclughm, we thank you and all the court officials for your help and ir efforts in that regard. ok, and for all courtesies extended to us. ■—I i t• *;*>*;•] ter*.'
