EDS JoURNAL:-Some OF our people are
laboripg under the impression that the
consolidation Of the County Treasurer 8
office with that of the Clerk Of Cou.t was
OF no benefit and cost just the same. but
upon investigation 1 find that the Treas
surel's commissions were cut down just

the tax payers the nice sam of S., 1888. 25.

OF the two offices is OF practical benefit and
source of economy. l. N. Moon.
