Mass Meeting. j
At a meeting of the tax payers at.
Maple Springs on July 21st, 1883, Mr. j
W. P. Clatterbuck was called to the,
chair, Dr. II. Lee Howison was electe<l
Secretary. Mr Clatterbuck explained
the object of the meeting and appointed
a committee of five to draft resolutions.
The following resolutions were unani-
miously adopted.
Resolved. 1st. That we condemn
the action of the Comissioners'court in
its arbitrary proceedings as regards a
new Court house, and desire the ques-
tion be submitted to the people. If a
majority are in favor of a new court
house to be built on, or adjacent to the
square, and not to cost more than thirty
thousand dollars, then we acquiesce.
2nd. That we the tax payers in of
said county, consider it our right to
have a voice in the matter.
3rd. That we consider that the no-
tices of equalization sent out by said
court, were sent out on too short a time
before the meetingof said court,for them
to be delivered and acted upon by the
people.- The notices claimed to have
lteeu published in the Clarksville papers
were not seen by any member of this
meeting, and further, that the farmers
were so pressed for time, that it was
almost impossible for them to attend.
4th. That we think it impossible for
the court to make a just equalization of
property without knowing the condi-
tion and worth of each farm.
Motion made and carried,that a copy
of the proceedings of this meeting be
sent to each of the Clarksville papers
for publication.

leave to submit the following as an ex-
pression of our views in reference to the
course pursued by the County Uommis-
sioiiers of Red River county, iu/egard to
the buildiug of a court house iu said
county:
Whereas, The Commissioners' Court
ot Red River couutv, have determined to
buy pioperty remote from the public
square upon which to erect au expensive
court house, with money collected from
the people of said county, and without
consulting them in the matter, and
whereas, we consider this act ot said
Commissioners' Court as arbitrary and
despotic; ignoring its they have done the
citizens and tax payers ot the county, bv
their refusal to consult their wishes in a
matter ot so much importance to them,
ifia'cing meinseives in the position ot au-
tocrats, and the people as serfs, who
must obey the mandates ot their masters
witbont a murmur, or else be styled "res-
oluters'' because thr-y as freemen have
dared lo assert their privilege as such,
by expressing their seutunents and con
victions ni>on a matter in which they
have snch a deep and abiding interest.
Whereas, We have always regarded
our public officers as the servants and
not the matters ot the people; whose du*
ty it was to cousult with and obtain a
full aud fair exprebsion of opinion upon
all matters of public importance in which
the people are interested, and after hav-
ing obtained this expression ot opinions
from the people to act in accordance with
the same, or else give place lo those who
would.

"And your wife is dead?
"She is "
"Have you any documentf
that she is dead. ?
"No."
"Then I must refuse to marry you.
You must bring some proof of t he
death of your wife."
There was a pause during which the
prospective bride looked at the anxious-
ly would-be groom. Finally he said ;
"I can prove that my former wife is
dead."
"How can yon prove it?"
"I was sent here for having killed
her."
The bride took him not withstanding.
Possibly she may have been sent to the
penal colony for having murdered her
husband. At any rate, they were a
well matched couple.
