Contract Let to John AChlmayr for the
Erection Of a County Jail.
TAX LEVY FOR 1903 is REDUCED.
Joe carp Will Have Charge Of
the County Poor Farm.

The board of county commits
'sioners met Monday in special ses-
sion at which large amount Of
business was transacted. That Of
most Importance to the tax payers
was the fixing of the tax levy for
1908. Taxes are always high in
new country but through the
economical administration of af-
fairs by our county fathers the out
standing Indebtedness has been
greatly reduced and they in turn
were able to give the taxpayer the
benefit and reduce the levy from
$3.l5 to SO on each $4,000 val
uation. OF this amount 30 cents
out Of each 50 goes to the state. II
is apportioned to the various funds

in on the train from Wilson. The
judge said: I had retired, but I got
up and dressed and came down to my
