Cherokee county is fortunate
in having a clerk who recog-
nizes the fact that her papers
are an integral part of the
county, and deserve the sup
port from the county in the
m itter of stationery, ete., and
work of this nature is always
given them in preference to
the foreign concerns. By do-
ing this our clerk has saved
fhe county many hundreds of
dollars in the matter of coun-
ty stationery alone, besides
keeping the money at home.
If Ubshur county, and others,
would follow the example of
Cherokre, we have 110 doubt
but that the officials will be
most agreeably surprised at
tllie sums they tfill be able to
save their countier.

tionery furnished the county
for the three months previous.
There was no' mention of any
sum pa d'the home offices for
supplies. Gilmer has twko
good printing officies, and
another one is' at Big Sandy,
and we doubt not either one
of these could have done most
of the work sent out of the
comity, and would have turn-

It was the only irlife on which
the police had to work, but in

had formed a part.
