day last. The county commissioners
at their last meeting notified the treas
urer that he would be obliged to pro
cure an additional bond of $780, 900.
This was found necessary by the board
from the fact that large sums of mon
ey are being received from the sale
of county bonds, and the treasurer be-
ing the proper custodian and respon-
sible for the safety of the funds. Sew
eral of our citizens cheerfully signed
Mr.. Hague's bond in such amounts
respectively according to their ability.
This additional amount of bonds.
makes the aggregate about 100000
that the treasurer is required to give.

Rumor has it pat that Judge

March.
Enterprisc.-The probability is that
the spring term of court for this coun-

but very few civil causes to be heard,
and at present no criminal cases.
From present indications no grand
jury will be required. 1t is surprising
to see the good conduct of the citizens
of this county. A grand jury has not
been impanneled for nearly two years.
