j. F. TRIPLETT, P. G.
MI. Love Carly thinks he has
found numerous errors and dis
crepancies in the county financial
statement lately published. But
if he will strike a balance between
the warrants issued and those
cashed at the time the statement
was made up, he will be more at
ease. No doubt the court will
make ample rejoinder to his in
quiries published in this issue.
