sued prior to June. 1858. it is believed.
from the best information that can be OBJ
tanned, TO the amount of $500, making
the true indebtedness of the County at that
time nearly 81 900! instead of $3.50.
How many more old Orders will come to
light cannot of course be told. What do
You think, tax payers. of this hiding and
covering up the Indebtedness of the coun-
ty? Was it not done for the purpose OF
concealing the extravaganza and wasteful-
ness of the Democratic Clique who have
ruled the County for the last four years?

appraised for $3.50, or for 1854 less than
MARSHALL. La Porte county with LOG. 900
acres more land, more than four times the
nunaer Of town lots, and over double the
population, was appraised for $3.50, or
for 1854 less than MARSHALL Is it any
wonder that our Democratic Office holders
have grown wealthy, and can afford to
build fine houses and ride "fast horses?"

farms in Marshall county are appraised at
S66, 413 more than the improvements
