that several minor accidents, CO

COUNTY BOARD
MEETS TUESDAY

Members of the Mercer county
board of supervisors will reopen
their regular September session at
10 O'Clock tomorrow morning after
adjournment last Tuesday. The SUI
pervisors met last week and ad-
journed during the fair. Sew
eral important items are expected
to be brought up before this meet
ing among which may be the ap-
pointment of an assistant states
attorney and possibly granting the
sheriff another deputy. The large
amount of work, which has fallen
on the shoulders of the sheriff and
states attorney during the last
week has brought the question of
additional help before the minds of
the supervisors. Although no def
mite action attending the move
ments has been taken it is rumored
that the county board as a whole
is in favor Of such assistance.
