The Question Of Bonding the County

"The latest scheme is one 10 bond
our county for $4,000 at s per cent, ="
says the Onida Journal. Not necessa-
rily. The limit is placed at $l2 900,
with interest not to exceed s per cent.
$4,000 might be found a sufficient sum
to keep our warrants ut par, and we
have no doubt they could be placed rs
low as six or seven per cent. The
Journal also has spasm because the
WATCHMAS intlmated that If over one
half of the legal voters and taxpayers
of the county signed petition, the
Legislature might pass an act empower
ing the Commissioners to bond without
the question being submitted to vote
If the Journal was possessed with
average horse sense it could readily
comprehend that the people could as
well express themselves in favor of
the proposition by signing petition
to the majority Of 1,0l2-the number
of votes polled in the tall--as by ne
cessitating special election, costing
the county several hundred dollars.
If the Journal man was owing $500
at Z per cent interest and had nothing
to pay it with, and, added to this, was
compelled to 90 still farther in debt by
having to pay sl.30 for every dollars
worth of grub he consumed, wouldn't
he be glad to give his obligation for
$500 at 7-or even S-per cent. to pay
up the old score and get his provision
at a cash basis-and particularly so if
there were two or three people coming
on from the East who would pay half
or three fourths of the entire obligation
for himp We think he would This is
the situation IN which the county finds
itself.
Not over dozen individuals, firms
or corporations in the county pay a
larger tax than we do, and if this ac-
cumulated debt of nearly two years,
when we have had but very little rev.
enue, can be postponed by bonding,
then we say bond and put the county
on cash basis in preference to dis
tressing the people by direct tax
within the next year or two, which
must largely increase it from the pres
ent levy. The most of us find it all
we can do to live just now
There are in the county over 1000
quarter sections of fine land, and in ten
years, when the proposed bonds would
become due, the claims would all be-
come taxable, besides ten-fold in
crease of personal property.
Mark our word for it, unless the
county is bonded, or some other meth
cd taken to strengthen our credit-and
we see no other way-the monied Shy
locks will be taking in our bonds at so
cents on the dollar. Bond the county
and they will be worth their face in
gold and negotiable anywhere, ut home
or abroad.

SOLD HIS CHILD.

WHEELING. W. Va, Feb. 3
Pocahontas county, in this State.
Is all torn UP over the marriage OF
h'ss Matilda McCarty to Samuel
Ervlne. The feature of the mar
ilage which causes the sensation
is the fact that the bride IS only
eleven Years old, While the groom
is Il well-to-do farmer Of titty.fiye
The marriage was contracted with
due regard to the forms of law. q
license being procured with the
tree consent Of the brides parents.
1t is asserted III the vicinity that
IRVINE paid 4 money considcra-
ton to old man McCarty. who is Il
poor man witt, a large family.
Mat li'!a is described as co.nch
lass, who looks much oll.r :han
she Is. There is West VIRGINIA
statute, however, which not onI,
renders tho marriage null and void,
but subjects The father OF the child
to imrri solmcht fer long term,
or even death ~ hanging il the
Jury so aajndses. The clcrI, who
issued the license may also have
trouble, as the citizens in THEN
wrath threaten to prosecute all
concerned.
