supervisors held at the court house in
COrunna has been devoid of special
interest, although a large amount of
business has been transacted. The
mild eases of small pox which have
appeared in all parts Of the county
caused a large number of bills, many
people taking advantage of the nature
of the disease to secure medical at
tentiOn, food and other necessities at
the county's expense. One bill of
large size rendered by Corunna wo-
man for nursing her sister and the
sisters children who were visiting
her, was disallowed and few of the
bills were found to be too large and
were allowed at the usual rate. A
saving to the county of hundreds of
dollars is effected on the last three
months work by the fact that the
county has a contract with DR.. A. F..
Watts to care for the INDECENT sick Of
Owosso.
