County COMMISSIONERS NOTES.-The
| County Commissioners adjourned last
Saturday p. M, after doing some very i'm
portant local business. The old court
house and lot were sold to s. G.. Oleson
for 81, $50, the use of the jail lot and build
ing were reserved until the 1st of Novem.
Austin were purchased for the use of the
County Agricultural Society. The price
paid 81, 500. We think it cheap and q
good investment. G.. }. Shertt was ap-
pointed Clerk of the Probate Court. A
good appointment. Treasurer's accounts
| were audited and the cash on hand in the
county treasury $20,167.16. Chairman
Commissioners, Oscar Ayers, appointed

new Jail.

women fool away valuable hours over
