Brooke County Bounty Bonds.
From the WeIlsburR Herald

The Board of Supervisors at their meet
ing on Monday last authorized the issue Of
bonds to the amount of $21, 900, for the
payment of the $500 bouuties to volunteers
under the pending 1000 call, and the
bonds are now in the market for negotia-
ton. II is presumed that there will be no
difficulty in turning them into money, as
there are few better openings for safe in :
vestments OF surplus money now to be
found. The bonds are in sums of SlOO
each, payable January LIST, 1866, 1861 and
1868, in equal proportions, negotiable and
bearing 6 per cent. interest from date, in
terest payable annually, both the principal
and interest when due being receivable in
payment of county taxes. 1t is deemed on
many accounts desirable that these bonds
should be taken at home instead of being
thrown upon the general market. and we
are requested by the Board of Supervisors
to make this suggestion to the Brooke
county public. There can be no reasons-
able objection on the score of securitv es
the county is legally and firmly bound for
their redemption according to their faces:
nor can there be any doubt as to the abil.
ity of the county to meet the liabiIity.-
There is hardly a community in the ma
tion, of the same aggregate resources, SO
lightly burdened with public debt, there
being no railroad nor other liabilities of
any sort now standing against the county.
The amounts previously voted are all either
paid or provided for in the current taxa.
