A Peoples Loan.-County Orders.

The Board OF supervisors, At their spe-
cial session On Monday, As one of the
means Of raising $4,000 to pay soldiers
bounties authorized the issue of $1,000
IN county orders. These orders were made
receivable in pay for taxes of 1862, and ~
there is now money enough in the county
treasury TO cash all the orders that will be
issued At the September term of the Super.
yisors, these $lO 900 will be the only orders
in circulation
The War Fund Committee, who have
the disbursement of all those funds voted
to the soldiers, are anxious to pay all the
bounties in money. This they are already
able to do except as to the $4,000 county
orders issued. They offer, therefore, to
exchange these orders now for currency,
and it is submitted to the farmers and tax
payers Of the county generally whether il

Tx payers can get these orders for cur
rsncy, which will hs ~ good as gold in

orders will be held 1t = high premium
We call the attention Of tax payers to the
subject, and eyed urge them to come for.

reasons; first, because they will make
money by doing SO; and secondly, it will
prevent the orders falling into the hands
