A comparison between tbo llgures in tba

county during October and November Indi
cates the presence of a large-sized colored
individual in the woodpllo This bill Is the
ono which tbo finance committee of the
county comthlsslonors cut down about 25 per
canton the ground that the cnarges were
cxtortlonato ,
N eBfcv A few figures will servo to show whotbor
-d HY the claims of the flnanco committee were L
_ W * S correct In the bill roforroo to uoll books
r were charged at $1 each ; in his bid Mr Gib-
sou agr6cs to furnish the aamo kind of books
I or nu coma cacu , una mo lowest uiu
received lists poll books at 12.4 cents oaoh
Election notices nro charged in the bill at
$1.05each ; tbo bid quotes election notices at
12 cents oacb , and tbo lowest bid received
quotes these same notices at i cents each
Lithograph notohends wore charged at the
ratoof $7 per thousand ; Gibson's bid gives
them at 1.50 per thousand The county has
boon payiug 41 cents oacb for "sooato" pads
( largo sheets Of yellow writing paper In pads
of 100 sheets ) ; Mr Gibson now odors to
furnish thorn lor12rontsoach , but the county
will cot them for 10 cents The dockets used
by the Justices of the pence hnvo cost 12.00
per oulro , or $10.50 per docket , but Mr Gib
son thinks now ho can furnish thorn for $13
oaoh : the county will bo provided with just
ice dockets now at the rate of $1 oacb
Criminal dockets have boon costing $11 each
but hereafter the county will get thorn for 3.
Mr Gibson has been charging 40 cents per
pound for sealing wax but it will bo furnished
for 13 cents per pound Reporters note
books , used bv the court rnportors , hnvo boon
, > charged at the exorbitant rate of 81 ! cents
oacb , but in bis bid Gibson offers to furnish
thorn ut Ui cents oacli
• * * • Many inoro examples mirbt bo given to
bow the extortionate prices tbo county has
been charged for stationery during tlio two
jears that Gibson bad the contract , but
those already quoted nro suQlclont
During tbo past year tboro wus
do contract for furnishing stationery
nnd the only thing whioh could bo rofcrrod
to In cuso of a difference of opinion was tbo
bid submitted by Gibson and on which tbo
award wus niado This bid was very incom
plete and only specified the artiolos in the
most gonerul way , many of the most Import
ant being emitted entirely
Tlio now specifications , prepared by Act
ing Auditor John Kvnus , contain everything
in this line which is needed in tbo county
and nro tno llrst Intelligent specifications
which have been supplied bidders The fact
that it puts all bidders on an equal footing is
shown by the wholesale reduction in ado by
I Gibson in Ills figures , ho evidently appreciat
ing the ( act that ho would moot with sharp
competition

A PENITENTS SUICIDE
From ilio Mourners Donch to Death
inn AVcll
Intelligence from Grayson County
gives the dotalls of tlio sad suicide of
Miss Ami Custis , aged eighteen years ,
says a Richmond , Va , dispatch to the
Cincinnati Enquirer For several days
she had been uttonding prayer meetings
in the neighborhood , She went for
ward and kuolt at tlio mourners bench
ns a penitent She woptand cried very
bitterly , and the congregation mndo
special appeals for hordollyoranco , but
all seemed to avail nothing At every
service MisB Ami would occupy her nc-
customod seat at the mourner * ' bench
with weeping eyes and a seemingly
troubled eonscionco
On Sunday morning the young lady
arose _ as the services were about
to commence and said , she hoped
the congregation would all
pray for her , as she could not any longer
stnud the burden of sin which sh owns
currying Tlio congregation prayed for
her and the preacher tried to comfort
her , but still the burden did not scorn
to bo moved Tlio poor girl prayed anu
sobbed aloud
The meetings were hold in an old
school house , uudln the yard was a well
forty-live feet deep While the congregation -
gation wus singing a hymn Miss Curtis
Quietly arose , and , leaving the housof
went quickly to the well
This alarmed some of the congrega-
tion who were watching her , and they
rushed toward her , but before they
reached her she gave a cry and exclaimed -
claimed , You need not pray for mo
any more " She titan plunged into the
well with a torrlblo splash as her body
struck the water forty-flvo feet below
Three women fainted , and a dozen
others had to be carried home Miss
Curtis bud excellent pa routs , and there
was no blemish on her character
Prices r r Ivory "
The rise of the prices of ivorv mny bo
described -by the staloment that the
great cutlery Arm in SliMllold , Rodgora
& Sons , used to pay yOOO'a ton , but they
have lately paid jCl.l' tJ , and in bomo
special cafes as high 08 2,000.
