The January session OF the board OF
Counts Commissioners vas enlivened by
a series oil Incidents, of more or less
Exciting nature, occasioned principally
bv the departure of the Board from tine
ancient and established customs of the
annual meeting aud which created some
friction between the Board and some
of the County officers. The first new
move was to require the Treasurer to
produce the balance in cash to be count
ed. This order was complied with and
while the counting was going ON, the
doors were locked and the sheriff placed
on guard. The funds have heretofore
been deposited in the various banks oil

%ternin ed 10 receive bids for the use Of
