The Finances of the County.

The Democratic papers of the county
are still busily engaged in attempting to
make our county appear bankrupt, and
insist that matters are getting worse.
The statement of the total Indebtedness
for the last fifteen years shows a steady
decrease. But once in that time has
it been lower, and that was in 1890 The
next decennial appraisement reduced
the tax duplicate 80 that the collection
in the County Fund fell off about S., 900
annually. Then q Jail was built at the
urgent demand OF every citizen who
knew anything of the condition of the
old one. This increased the bonded in.
debtedness $25, 600 A few thousands of
this remains unpaid. Without this ex-
traordinary expense, the debt would
have been lower than at any period v ith-
in fifteen years, and is lower than in the
one year spoken of. And while it may
be necessary to sell bonds, this will not
increase the debt, - it is only to meet
the present overdrait in the County
Fund.

Will Judge Hughes Please Answer ?

"Why we're orders on the county treas
ury held back or not issued until after
the Inspectors of the treasury had count
ed the cash? There can be but one
answer. 1t was done to keep the people
in ignorance of the true state of affairs
by making a showing that there were
over 5000 in money in the different
funds. Yet, while the Inspectors were
at work over $4,000 was drawn out, and
within a week sfterward over $4,000
were gone, leaving the county practically
bankrupt. So near bankrupt, in fact,
that witnesses before the Grand Jury
could not get their certificates for fees
cashed, but had to discount them If they
needed the money. The whole thing
was bit of sharp practice to deceive
the public"
The above appears in the Gazette last
week. By reference to the Commits
sioners' Journal it will be seen that in
October the following lunacy bills were
presented by, and allowed to Judge
HuUhon.

political campaign as any other time.
Last week we stated that o. N. Sans,

and are still of the same opinion not

it as lie. We were informed that Mr..
Sans had been retained several months

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.

The best of living is living for the

Know thyself," said the Psalmist;
but he never said anything about

We know that the unseen world is
ruled by the same laws which rule
us here. In that world we may ex-

Resignation is not a passive and

acceptance of Gods sovereignty, and
Gods purpose, and Gods method.
Many a life has been injured by the
