Davison and Lewis Walker are speaking in this county OBITUARY Mrs Ella J. Agee, wife of A.O. Agee after a lingering ilness died of consumption Oct 14th. She leaves two children, Jesse J. and Jones L. aged 8 and 6, respectively. This makes three deaths in Mr Agee's family within last eleven months. Mrs Agee was a kind Christian woman and has gone to her reward. Just before death she called the family to her bedside bade them farewell and asked them to meet her in the better world. The remains were buried in the family graveyard in Cove Valley by her two children, Geder and Essie. 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.
