County Attorney Fees Drawn From Fayette County Sparks Debate
In a 1809 board session the County Attorney's pay rose to between 1500 and 1800 annually, with claims for office expenses and commissions. The text questions rent for Hoyt and Hancock, laundry and travel costs, and whether Fayette County should bear office rents for the firm, noting a quarterly bill that seems to cover more than salary. The record presents figures and asks taxpayers to judge if the increases and charges are warranted.

W. M. Thud Woes O70 Amid Philippine Evacuation
The piece notes General Lawton’s expedition to the Philippines ordered to Manila, claiming guerrilla resistance forces prolong the conflict in tropical conditions. It frames U.S. troops as undefeated, evacuating rather than retreating, citing a Moscow precedent. It also recounts Mrs. Anna E. George’s trial for the Saxton murder in Cant, Ohio, detailing alleged seduction and divorce motives. It touches Samoa tensions among U.S., Britain, and Germany and mocks humanitarian justifications for killing in warfare.
