indicated by certain scrip of Bolivar coun- h
", bonded under act of the Legislature :
IT 1874. Tie most casual observer cannot c
but remark the figure this word bonded h
cuts in the nomenclature of alien rule in the II
south. States and counties flooded L
with scrip OF every kind for the most trivial /,
services and under preteXt the most suppo- f
sitious; the next steps, when this scrip "
becomes dep ecisted, il to shut it off frot,. ! 8

hereby. too. destroying the evidence of A
fraud or Illegaiity, II Is covered into bran II
new bonds which become sacred and inVio- G
able. Having eaten out ali the present ii
available resources of the county, these h
officials reach out, undisputed. to put The f
