far as net gain to the county is con-
cerned. During the year Mr.. Danner
probated ZIG wills and issued 200 let
ters of administration, earning just
$4,76742 in fees. The expenses of the
office, including the registers salary of
$4,000, salary of Clerk James G.. Miles,
payment of postage bills, etc, totaled
$3,57T.93. which netted excess fees of
1929. The county and the register
divide these fees on a fifty-tifty basis,
which gave both just $594.75--the
largest share ever turned in from this
office. Roughly speaking, Register
Danner did about $500 more business
during the past Year than in the pre-
vious twelvemonth, his report for 1915
showing a total earning of $4,223.61.
Furthermore, despite his physical in
firmities the register was on the job
every day with the exception of nine
days in which he was confined to his
bed.

Wedding Reunites Threads Of
Romance of 80 Years Ago

Sunbury, Pa, Jan. 1. With the
ushering in of the new year last night
Mrs. Annie R. Bailets, a widow of Sun
bury became the bride of l.. II.
Varnes, merchant of Marysville, thus
reuniting the threads of a romance
broken more than 30 years ago. The
ceremony was performed at st. Johns
Methodist Episcopal Tabernacle,
when a congregation of more than 500
were at watchnight services.
Mrs. Bailets and ,Varnes were school
day sweethearts and were engaged to
wed even to the extent of the young
woman having prepared her wedding
trousseau. Then something happened,
the troth was broken and they drifted
apart. She married George Bailets,
who died more than three years ago.
While on trip to Marysville Mrs.
Bailets met Varnes and learned that
the old affection had never died and
that he had not married.

quire the additional funds.
The annual financial report of the
directors shows some remarkable re-
suits in the handling of county funds.
While plenty of good food and cloth
ing were provided for the inmates at
the county home, there was enough
and to spare of vegetables, beef etc.,
so that some good sales of the surplus
by Purchasing Agent Snavely netted
the board some $4,000. The story is
readily told in the comparison with
the amounts available and the bal
ances at the end 1916 as compared
with the close of 1915.
Some Comparisons
The total requisition on the County
Commissioners in 1916 was $65.000 as
compared to requisitions of $67,500 by
the previous board. During the year
the present board earned $5.217.41 as
compared to S3,S77.07 by its prede-
cessor; made permanent improve
ments in the way of new buildings, an
irrigating system, repainted and reno
waited barn, ETC., put in new type beds
and so on at an expense or $5,060.1S
as compared to an expenditure of
S3,2O9.04 for improvements by the old
board. The total cash available dur
ing 1916 was $7O.217.41 and the total
expenditure was $70,197.56, leaving a
cash available was S7f, f,377.07, the ex-
penditures 71,15o.34,. leaving a bal
ance of S226.53.
Cost to the County
The net cost to the county in 1916,
including maintenance of almshouse,
improvements, outside expenses, such
as outdoor and quarantine relief, main
tenance of insane. children in private
homes and institutions, support of the
colored nursery for a time, social
workers and nurses services, etc, was
exactly s64,9S0.15. while in 1915 the
item cost the county $67.273.47.
During the past year the number of
days support given vagrants and in
mates was 67,344, as compared to
74,917 in 1915; the average weekly
per capital cost was $2.69 u, as against
s2.S4 in 1915, and the average daily
cost per capita was 1914 cents, as
compared to 33 2-5 cents in 1915.
In the Commissioners Office
No changes of any character were
made in the County Commissioners

the figures of his predecessors. In the
marriage license bureau, for instance.
just 127 more licenses were issued dur
ing 1915 than in 1915-1,441 as COM
pared to 1914. Eighty more deeds
and mortgages were handled and the
other business increased correspond
ingly to such an extent that Recorder
Lentz will divide with the county the
largest sum in excess fees that n re-
corder ever turned in.
BY Recorder James Il. Lentz
Hearty cooperation on the part of
Deputy Recorder c. Nissley Mumma,
Marriage Clerk Jacob Alvord and the
rest of the clerical staff combined with
the recorders own geniality and bust
ness eye for details produced just what
Mr.. Lentz had set out to develop when
he took hold of the office-an office
conducted on purely modern efficiency
lines.
With the advent of the new year
Recorder Lentz will further eco
nomically increase the office efficiency
by putting in another book typewriter
for transcription purposes. Two such
machines were installed during the
past year. BY adding this equipment
the recorder has been able to dispense
with the services of two transcribing
clerks, j. ii. Sheesley and Joshua w.
Gross. Sheesley is a Lentz appointee:
Gross has been a clerk in the re-
corder's office for more than fourteen
years. Their designations became ef-
fective to-day.
