The FISCAL COURT.
Reduction In the Exorbitant Tax Rate Of
Last Year.

The County Fiscal Court was in
session five days of last week. Be-
sides the usual appropriations some
important business matters were at
tended to.
Jno. NJ. Dulin and j. H. Dillman
were reelected road supervisors for
this year
The tax levy for county purposes
was laid at 42a cents all told, a re-
duction of "a cents. This action is
very gratifying to the people, whose
burdens were unnecessarily increased
to that extent last year.
The court made ala appropriation
of 500 to pay the Office rent of County
Attorney Anderson. This comes in
the nature of an extra allowance and
some unfavorable comment is being
heard in consequence.
The necessary steps for refunding
the old l.. q N. bonds were taken.
In July SOL 900 OF the three thirties
Of 1867, bearing seven per cent, will
mature. New five twenties bearing
five per cent will be issued to take up
the old ones and the county attor-
nev will it is thought float them at
premium. The saving in interest
will be more than $1,000.
The court adjourned Saturday
afternoon.
