It was discovered that the float ing debt had increased from SIP 900 six years ago to $44,000 to-day, and with only $4,219.44 in the treasury to pay it. It also took $9S4.14 to take care of 34 cases Of smallpox. All of this was under populist officials. Etow- ah will make a change on the 1st of Aug ust.
