LACK OF MONEY
IN COUNTY FELT
Considerable Criticism Is Being
Reaped on Board When War
rants Are Not Paid for
Lack Of Funds.
JURYMEN ARE KICKING
From Out in Country Districts There
Is Considerable Complaint
Only One Fund Said
to be Available.

Lee county's empty pockets are
causing considerable criticism to be
heaped on the heads of the supervis
ors, especially from those who have
been given county warrants, but who
are unable to cash them. With the
term Of the district court Just COM
mencing here, and jurors to be paid,
there is considerable open criticism
Of the present financial embarrass-
ment.
The men excused yesterday from
grand jury service were unable to
tate to express opinions From out In
the country districts from which some
of the men come who hold warrants
on which they can get no money,
there is no small amount Of carping.
1t Is said that the only fund which
is not exhausted is the one from
which the county farm and the insane
patients are cared for. In this fund
there is money enough to take care
of all warrants drawn on it, it is
stated.
OF course there is silver lining to
the cloud in the fact that taxes will
begin coming in, and that the situa-
ton will be entirely relieved in a
short time. But there, is the con-
stantly recurring wonder as to wheth-
er the county will find itself in SINH
lar hole a little later on.
Probably half Of the taxes will be
paid this month with the remainder
being paid in March. This influx Of
money will solve the financial prob
lem. temporarily at least. This, how
ever, does not relieve the situation at
the present time, and there is no
small amount of criticism being heard
on all sides.

GROUND HOG DAY.


The day was cloudy and full OF gloom.
In an easy chair in the sitting room,
The ground hog took from the maya
zine rack
His patent medicine almanac.
He fiuttered the pages with his paw
And then burst out in loud guffaw,
For the almanac said that winter
would stay
Until the seventh or eighth Of May.
Then he drew on his rubbers and B.

And scampered beneath the mulberry
trees,
Not a shadow he saw, no sign Of the

come"
But along about the eighteenth OF
March
The woods froze up, sitter than
starch;
And the oldest settler watching the
snow, .
Loudly blatted: 81 told you So"

OLDER THAN YOU.

OLDER THAN YOU.
Have you ever thought in your daily
life
How much of your pleasure Is due,
How much OF your strength in toll
and strife,
To the people older than you?
Just fancy world where all were
young,
In which you would never meet
The gracious calm of thoughtful age
In either the home or street.
Who have helred you most in hours
Of care,
In times of sorrow and pain?
To whom have you gone in your
darkest hours
over and over again?
When the head was sick, and the
heart was faint
And you scarce knew what to do,
All, then you knew you must turn for
aid
To somebody older than you.

Music clubs program.

Owing to the very disagreeable
weather the attendance at the Monday
Music club last evening was unusually
small Those who went were amply
repaid however, as the program
throughout was more than usually
good. The high school orchestra, I'M
der the direction of Professor P. G.
Hayden, surprised and delighted the
audience which was not prepared for
its strength numerically or musically.
There are twenty-three in the organ
ization, and they not only play as
though they enjoyed it but with q
marked degree Of musical taste and
expression. Mr.. Hayden has been ask
ed to repeat two of the numbers ana
they will be added to the choral pro-
gram of February fifteenth. The
second part OF the program was
most enjoyable in each number. Miss
Helen Milestone played three num-
bers with much style, and Miss Gray
read very effectively a story Of Shu-
bert and his first meeting with the
Countess Estuhazy, when she was only
a child and he played his wonderful
"Erl-Koenig', for her 1t was regret

was unable, last night, to play the

DR.. Marsh never played better than
he did last night, and his number,

companist, Mr.. Frank e. Fuller, was
much enjoyed.

OLD LOVE WON HUSBAND.

New York, May ia suit for di
vorce, in which the plaintiff, Mrs
Anita w. Tremper, alleges that hel
husband, Henry d. Tremper, has de
serted her for an older love-an &C
tress whom he knew before marriage
was tried before Supreme Court JUS
tice Crane, in Brooklyn, today. Mrs
Trempers charge was corroborated by
a taxi chauffeur and by Raymond T
Morrill,, friend of the defendant.
Mrs. Tremper says that they were
married in 1912, and lived happily to-
sether for about a year. Then she
found him living with with the other
woman. That was in January, 1914.
The taxi chauffeur testified that he
took Mrs. Tremper and another per
son from the hotel to an address and
joined in the raid. They were admit
ted by young woman in pink XII,

arctic on being awakened. The wo.
man of the kimono offered to explain
it all, but Mrs. Tremper became hys-
terical and was carried back to the
taxicab.
Morrill, testified that Tremper said
later that he was living with an &C
aress whom he had known and loved
before his marriage. He had come to
the conclusion that he loved her bet
ter than his wife and had taken her
off the stage.
