The sheriff's office of Pitt county
becomes more important every
year. The duties are more com-
and arduous as the
country becomes more expanded,
and the many intricacies com-
of the laws enacted and
the greater volume of
accumulations. It therefore re-
quires a man of experience, cool
head and active intelligent
mind to fill the sheriff office of
the large county of Pitt as it
should be.
Tucker has proven that
he is capable till to the full
measure the ex-
of a first sheriff.
Long years of experience, a per-
familiarity with the duties of
oilier, bis
acquaintance with people of
the county, his high character
exemplary habits, his cool nerve
and promptness to duty, make
him the most thoroughly equip-
mm for this high and
office.
And without disparagement to
the claims and strength of any or
ail of the aspirant, it. goes with-
out saying Leon W, Tucker is the
man upon whom the mantel of the
sheriff's office should fall.

Butter Old.
A stone jar of butter that had
been buried for years was found
the other day on a farm in Burt
county, in north-eastern Nebraska.
Forty-two years ago a family by
the name of Decatur lived on the
place, and one day in summer this
jar was packed and placed in the
spring. A few days later, when
one of the family went to get the
butter it was gone, and no search
unearthed it. The Indians
roamed the neighborhood, and the
supposition that it had been
filched by some of them.
The lived and died, and
the farm has changed hands several
times since then. Two weeks ago a
man was put at work excavating for
an out building near the spring. At
a considerable depth he encountered
a stone jar.
On being exposed to the air the
jar crumbled to pieces and a four-
pound roll of butter fell out. It was
on the but yellow
and sweet inside.
The butter was brought to town,
and neighborhood tradition soon
that it was the selfsame
roll put in the spring forty-two
years ago. A member cf the De-
family recalled the
stance fully.
An investigation of the spot dis-
closed the fact that the bottom of
the old spring was in quicksand,
and it is supposed that the weight
of the jar and its contents caused it
to drop to a firmer bottom, where
it was kept intact all these years.
This is the oldest roll
of butter in the world, and steps
have been taken to preserve it for
exhibition at the St. Louis Fair.-

A very important problem in the
administration of our town govern-
is the question of economy.
Every taxpayer in the town of
Greenville should, and doubtless
does, feel a deep interest in the
growth and development of our
town. Especially is this true since
the sale of the improvement bonds,
and makes it certain that at an ear-
date we are to have street
water and
lights. These improvements,
while they mean the development
and progress of our town, yet they
mean large expenditures of money.
It becomes a question of vital in-
to every taxpayer that the
government of the town should be
administered with strict, substantial
and business-like economy. We
desire to call the attention of the
taxpayers to a matter wherein at
least can be saved in the ad-
ministration of the town govern-
and yet in no wise impair the
efficiency of the administration. The
matter to which we desire to call the
attention of the citizens of Green-
ville is the item of salary paid to the
Town Treasurer and Tax Collector.
The amount of taxes collected by
the Tax Collector and by him turned
over to the Town Treasurer is
proximately The Tax
Collector for his sen-ices receives
five per cent. The Town Treasurer
for his sen-ices receives two and
one-half per cent, on receipts and
two and one-half per cent, on dis-
Thus we are paying
per year to the tax collector
and a year to the town treas-
making an aggregate of
per year the citizens of the town
are paying merely to have the town
taxes collected in and paid out.
We heartily commend the
of each one of the present
officials. They are good officers
and are U be commended for
their efficient work, yet these same
officials would gladly perform the
duties of tho office for a much
smaller consideration than is now
paid them. The duties and labor
connected with the treasurer's office
are exceedingly light; being merely
to receive the money from the tax
collector, and pay it out by order
of the board of aldermen. The
duties of the tax collector are more
laborious, yet are such that a much
smaller compensation than that now
paid would suffice.
There are quite a number of
of the town, thoroughly com-
business men who would
willingly accept the office of treas-
and thoroughly and
perform all the duties attached
thereto for per year. There
are also quite a number of thorough-
competent business men who
would accept and perform the
of tax collector for per
year. Thus all the duties connect-
ed with the two officers can be
thoroughly and executed
for per year, for which we are
paying the enormous sum of
per year and by so doing save
to the tax payers of the
town of in the
of two offices alone.
There are one or two other items
in the administration of the town
government; wherein an additional
saving of one to two hundred
can made.
These are important questions to
the taxpayers of the town of Green-
ville, and while we have no coin-
plaint to make in regard to the
present administration, yet
should add to the
and efficiency of our Board of Alder,
men, and no doubt they will make
such changes as will be
and beneficial to the people at large.
