Tax PAYERS who so desire can
learn from looking over the Aud
itor'S and Treasurer'S statement
which appeared in last weeks
Press that our county finances
are in good shape, and that if it
were not for the amount of
$25, ,328.72 which we owed to
Stanley county at the time settle
ment was made, we would be
upon cash basis at this time.
This bit of information should be
highly pleasing to the tax payer,
especially is this so when you
stop and consider the expense of
division, and call to mind the
many Improvements upon the
roads, all the new bridges that
have been built, court expenses
attended to, and know that they
have all been paid for.
The statement as published
speaks well for the way the CO.
unity commissioners have looked
after the affairs OF the county and
bv the same kind of judicious
government we can look for the
settlement debt to be paid off
within year or so and when this
happens it will be a cash basis
proposition for us.

If all who hate would love us,
And all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue;
If cruel words were kisses,
And every froWn a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while;
If purses would not tighten
To meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the GaaVe Of greed.
If those who whine would whistle,
And those who languiSh laugh.
The rose would route the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff;
If hearts were only jolly,
If Grieving were forgot,
And tears of melancholy
Were things that now are not,
Then love would kneel to duty,
Then all the world would seem
A bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within a dream.
If men would cease to worry,
And women cease to sigh,
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die;
If neighbor Spake to neighbor,
AS love demands of all.
The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall;
And every day would elisten,
And every eve would shine,
And God would pause and listen,
And lite would be divine.
