Thirteen thousand and twenty-six
dollars and three cents is the amount
turned into the county treasury by
the county and circuit clerks, sheriff
and treasurer as the difference be-
tween the sums collected in fees and
the expenses OF their offices during
the three months ending Septmber 30.
This does not represent net saving to
the county from the substitution OF
the salary system for the fee system,
as the salaries Of the four officials
are not included in the expenses, but
neither does this balance include work
for the county, a considerable item in
itself.
1t is estimated that in the office of
County Clerk G.. NJ. Nichols alone the
county is saving about $4,000 a year.
Although the county clerks office is
considered, in counties where fees are
paid, as the --latest" job in the coun-

is conducting his office very econom-

blacksmith saw Billy. without halter
or bride. coming up the road toward

The pony trotted OF. but the black
smith had only fairly got TO work again
when he heard noise. and, looking
up. there stood Billy at the door.
This time. before driving him away.
the blacksmith took a look at his feet
and found that Billy had lost n shoe
He at once made new one and put Il
on and then waited to see what Billy
would do
