of the operators informed us last week
that she had averaged one dollar per

are annoyed by a few whose tongues run

duees unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
eauses painful running sores on the arms,

Gil has accumulated of late years until it

twenty years the salary has remained the
sanle-g3o per year, and as result,it has
been difficult to get any one to fill the
office. 500 per year is not any TO
much to pay for the work. What istrue
of the clerk holds good for the assessor
who receives the muni6cent salary Of
$50 for assessing more than million
dollars worth of property, and making
