"Some days ago information came

\ Surplus Of $4,000.

Our county government merits the
earnest thought of every citizen.
Twelve years ago this county had a
surplus of 5000. Prior to that time
we had built court mouse and paid
for it, and did all of this without he.
ing taxed to the limit Of the law.
Since that time we have, nearly every
year, been taxed the last cent the law
would permit. Our taxable property
has increase i'll value almost one
fourth. Thus, considering the in.
creased value Of property aud the iu-
creased rate Of taXati IN, we pay
about pne.third more taxes per year
than twelve years ago. Notwithstand.
ing all this our county goes deeper
and deeper in debt each year. What
becomes of the money we pay ? In
all this period Of time we have built
hut one little bridge across Barnes
run. Our county roads are in worse
condition, on an average, than they
were a dozen years ago. We have
made no public improvements. We
only pay the same officers the same
we have always paid. Our expenses
are practically the same. We cannot
be forced to pay more taxes than we
now pay, because the law will not al
low it. What then is to become of
this? The picture is, indeed, dark
one. Had we better not change our
county officers?
