LOAFERS BEWARE.

A law recently passed makes it the
duty of every, man between the ages
of IS and so to labor at least 36
hours in every week. The sheriff
has received strict orders to enforce
this law Habitual loafers, white
and black, will be arrested and sum-
marily dealt with. The rich and the
poor are alike amenable to the law
and no favoritism will be shown in
it's enforcement. If there are any
loafers in your town or community
report the fact to the sheriff and they
will be attended to. The officers are
in dead earnest about enforcing this
law. In order that starvation NAV
be averted everybody must be made
to work.

rowdyism. One or two others of the
lot were given fines in the county
court about three weeks ago.
1t is charged by the commonwealth
that for some months past a number
of boys and young men at McHenry
had been terrorizing the people with
rough and boisterous conduct. The
free use Of blind tiger liquor had
resulted in a freer use of pistols,
oaths and other forms of terrorism,
and the result, as usually happens
under such circumstances, was, the
people tired of the annoyance and ap-
pealed to the courts for protection.
The particular charge upon which
the young men 6ned Monday was
some disorders perpetrated in the
grocery store of Tom Jones and the
restaurant of Lon Keown one night
some time in FEBRUARY. Jones and
his wife and Keown's son and daugh-
ter were the chief commonwealth
witnesses. There are a number of
other young men of the same town
under arrest for similar charges, and
will later be tried in county court.
Perhaps the boys were just playing,
but the jury thought they were play
ing little too rough.
1t is said that since the fining of
the first members of this gang Nc
Henry has been as quiet as a grave
yard at night.

SUPERVISORS BUSY.

The county board of tax supervis-
ors began their work Wednesday Of
last week and have now passed on
nearly thirty precincts. It is requir-
ed of the board to raise the assessed
valuation of the property of the coun-
ty a total sum of one million dollars,
as ordered by the state tax commits
sion. The board IS putting the bur
den Of the raise on real estate and the
corporations. It will be necessary
for the board to raise the property TO
something above the million dollars
in order to meet the just claims of
property holders whose raise may
prove to have been unjustly made.
The board has fifteen days in which
to complete its work. After the
sheriff has had time to serve notice to
those whose property has been raised
the board will meet for a five days
session to hear complaints, and adj
Just any errors that may have been
made.

COUNTY TAKES BONDS.

II there was any doubt that the
thunder of German guns on the west
ern front had awakened Ohio county
people to their duty it was dispelled
by their speedy oversubscription of
the county's allotment of Liberty
Bonds. Ohio cOunty's quota was
$4,000, but it went over the top with
several thousand to spare in the first
week. The people are justly entitl-
ed to a liberal measure of credit for
their ready response to their coun-
try's call.
