number of ballots to elect. Under the

board will be selected by the governors.

later by the board. The tellers for the
election were Arthur d. Addison. Will

John Ncwbold.

CHECKS WITHOUT FUNDS.

Occasionally The Courier receives
checks from parties perfectly good.
but the fact that the parties may be
perfectly good does not make a check
issued by those parties, without
funds in the bank to back it, per
fcCtly good" 'Ordinarily good" or
any other degree of good. Such
checks are issued unthuughtodly of
course, for no man is going to take
the risk Of a Jail sentence or fine
for such an OtrcnSc. 1t should be so
at all times that the bank depositor
would know to a cent the amount Of
funds he holds in his bank, thus
avoiding OVCrChcCkinE his account,
