Hearings by the Master of CLAIMS,
Mr.. w. c. Wells are gong on at BIZ
loxi in the A & M. Railroad, in
hands OF receiver, and which has
been ordered sold. Dispatches from
down there indicate that there are
about $500, 900 worth of these clai ms,
which if after examination even a
major portion of them are o. X. d
means that they will not be paid out
face value as the road has beep or
dcred sold and it's physical value is
not sufficient to bring a sum large
enough to absorb so large an amount
of Indebtedness.
That equalzing fund warrant in
sum of something over $4,000 was
cashed a lew days ago, but it was
rapidly absorbed by warrants held
by the bank and which flowed in
like the rush from a dam when its
broke, until the common school fund
was once more exhausted and about
$500 of warrants left uncashed ia
Clerk R. d. Cochran's office. besides
which there are number of out
standing certificates yet unlssned
by the superintendent because OF
this lack of money. The taxtide is
about over SO that if the supervis-
ors do not see fit to borrow money
to retire this outstanding paper,
those who own 1t will haye to let it
go over until this fall when the new
fiscal year brings another inflow o.
taxes.
