They all say they not only pledge
themselves to stand by his declarations,
but that it is their desire that no sech

cred. They say that they are all
owned by the cormofants who have
robbed their substance, and that all the
Donna fids citizens of the South want,
is an opportunity to develop their ma :

COC MY INDER rE3NESS.

The Register says " Four years ago
Humboldt County was out of debt. At
the present time our indebtedness
amourts to $50, 00o." -Four years ago
we had no courthouse, aud since then
$4,000 has been expended in building,
furnishing. and Repairing one. Last
month, according TO the Auditors re-
port, TIA indebtedness of the county
was SSI, Csc "a. The taxes for the
fiscal year have not yet been pa:s, but
when they are the debt will be nothing
more than what the county owes on
court house bonds. and probably not
that much. Every bill allowed by the
Commissioners since TIE court. house
was built, hgs been published. aud
none wSre exorbitant, aud with the ex-
'ception of the debt incurred in building
the court house, Humboldt County is
financially better OF TO day than four
years ago.
