COUNTY COURT.

   By the organic Act of the county, the salary of the county judge was fixed at
one thousand dollars per annum. Hon. William T. Ward was chosen to the position
at the first county election, and by virtue of his office held also the probate
court, and presided in the court of sessions. By the Act of March 25, 1857, the
salary was doubled, and that fall Hon. E. T. Hogan was elected judge, and in
1861 was again chosen to the same position. In 1863, by reason of the
constitutional amendments, a new election was held, and Israel Jones was chosen,
but died before assuming the office. By appointment of the governor, Hon. A. P.
Moore filled the position till the fall of 1865, when Judge Hogan was again
elected. In 1869 Hen. A. P. Moore was elected, and in 1873 Judge Hogan was again
chosen to the office. The election of 1877 resulted in the choice of Hon.
William A. Cheney, who held the position till the court was terminated by the
adoption of the new constitution. The last record of this court made on the last
day of December, 1879, is as follows:
