clothes keep their friends
because they prove their
worth and secure the conf
dence of their wearers.
On the other hand, a man
throwing discretion to the

false.
He drops that make-takes
to another-with the same
result. Such promissory

Aldridge being a director. When
the young lady entered the yard she
was set upon by two vicious dogs,
thrown down and the brutes began
tearing savsgely at her, when her
sister, withouta moments hesitancy,
jumped from her buggy and with the
buggy whip drove the dogs of until
she could get her sister In the buggy

assistance was summoned. The dogs
were taken in charge by officers and

not they are mad. The young lady,
while severely bitten on legs, arms
and body, and suffered greatly from
the shock, she was not thought to
be fatally injured.

my bookkeeper has been examin-
ing the financial statement as pub
nshed and calls my attention to q
number of things In order to start
intelligently, he secured a copy ofthe
statement Of May LIST, 1906. he
says that there appears In this
statement some bookkeeping that
should be explained. The County
Clerk In his statement OF money paid
into the County Treasury between
May 1st, 1905, and May Let, 1906,
shows two items as follows:
"Amount transferred from
election and jury fund.-. 81, 900, 90
Amount OF credit on bridge
fund, balance, ............$1 900 90"
Then In the recapitulation he
charges the county as follows:
"To amount on hand May
1st, 1905, ,572 49,"
From these items IL would appear
that the county had been charged
with the sum OF %, 10000 twice. II
the county has been charged with
this amount twice, why was II done?
Now, II the editor OF THE TINES is
sincere In his proposition to discuss
the financial statements, the business
men OF the county would be pleased
to hear from him as to this double
charge Of %, 100000"
We care not whether the above ia q
bona fide communication from "a
business man." or was written In the
Office of that paper, 1t Is pertinent
