Commissioners Are Busy.

Tho only change at the court house
for the new year was the goIng oug OF
Mr.. Gets and the going in of Mr.. viii
son as members of the Board of County
Commissioners. The change took place
Tuesday. Mr.. Gets hS been a faith
full commissioner and has figured as
close for the county's interests as he
would for his own. He leaves the coun.
ty finances in an excellent condition.
All funds are up and ahead with the
exception of the road fund, which is
but So, 800 behind. Cash on hand in
other funds amounts to S32, 800. Road
fund outstanding warrants amounting
to 50, 300, plus the county's bonded in
debtedness, s7l 600. makes the total in
debtedness s74.9OO. This sum less cash
on hand leaves the county but S42. 300
in debt and that is certainly an insignif
cant amount.
The new board organized by clccting
w. o. Wilmont chairman for the en-
suing year. They Immediately took up
the regular routine of new business and
have been hard at it all week. The
boards appointments for the ensuing
year are as follows:

the situation and make report. Fav
orable action will bring to Read a lively
