important Matters Up.

Several matters or general impor-
tance are likely to transpire at the
regular meeting OF the board OF county
commissioners which is 10 be held in
the courthouse today. 1t is hardly
probable that any contracts will be let,
owing TO the fact that the yearly
budget has not yet been made up and
the county is running on credit.
one thing which is scheduled to
come before the body Is the matter
OF finances. which appear to be in a
sorry muddle. 1t is hoped by those
who are familiar with the situation
that the commissioners will take some
steps to check up their overdraft and
waste on the road funds.
Applications for the office OF county
surveyor. which was left vacant last
week by the discharge OF $. w.
Mitchell. will be received. and II is
probable that some one will be i'm
mediately employed. As matters
stand. no one connected with the road
and bridge building activities is likely
to receive his monthly checks today
as is the custom, on account OF the
fact that there is no county engineer
