or Tbee as he once delighted to cal

The continuous lingering Of winter
in the lap Of spring has caused quite
hard coal famine in town. Many
stoves have been running steady for
elk months, with fair prospect Of a

The sleighing since Thursday has

is the intention of the board to call in
and pay otf the bonds during the year.
Forest county will have no debt, and
will need only such taxes as arc neces-
sarv to Iuu the affairs Of the county,
aud the outlook is BOW that the people
will have good, long breathing spell.
