There il . great deal Of bowling about
high taxes and the bankrupt condition
Of our county.
Our taxes srs about 8 per cent. .
higher rate Of interest than one half the
States in the Union can collect BY law.
What has brought ell this about? A just
and judicious Management Of county
government, OF . lsvishing and wastfal
outlay of county expenses With 10 ono in
the pilot house to steer the ship Of county
from of tho rocks and snaga And it is
laughable too, TO hear some persons ex-

mept on the matter aud do not pretend
to know where the fault lice, yet l believe
there is . grand mistake somewhere.
From the statement Of tho county
Treasurer that was examined and ap-
proved November 9Th, 1879, there
must DO . mistake about the high taxes
the people arc bowling % much about.
