Mr Agee asks to express through the Signal his thanks to his neighbors for kindness shown in his recent affliction The question of salaries was properly passed upon by the Magistrates, Wednesday-Squire Brown being for a reduction and Squire's Sigman and Gatliff being for same ammount as hertofore. Squire Gatliff stood from the very beginning against reduction, claiming that we now had the best county officers we ever had and there was no reason for reduction; also claimed that the salaries could not be changed under the constitution which L.W. Bethurum and Geo W. McClure ably argued, showing it could not be done. P.D. Colyer, county attorney paid a glowing tribute to Judge Williams for his ability as a Court and his fairness as a judge. There was no reason on earth why any of the salaries should have been reduced and Squire Gatliff deserves special praise for the bold and many stand he took; as does Squire Sigman also for voting as he did after hearing the constitution thoroughly explained.

Our subject was born September 7, 1845 in Pike County where he received the advantages of the common schools and when so small that he was unable to strike the anvil without standing on a box, he began to work at his father's trade. When sixteen years old he began working in the tobacco business at which he continued three years, meeting with fair success. March 29, 1864, he volunteered his services for the Nation's weal and enlisted in Company G, Fifty-eighth Indiana Infantry and served for sixteen months. On his returning from the army, he received a one-fourth interest in his father's store and in 1868 he purchased his father's interest, thereby becoming sole proprietor. Mary E. Edmondson, born June 20, 1849, became his wife November 29, 1866, and to their union five children were born: Harry, Charley, Ralph and two unnamed. Only Charley and Ralph are now living.
