to in this report may be briefly set forth
as follows:

posted to the credit of the Common
wealth Immediately on receipt, the de-
posts being deferred over a period of
time. OF this total, S720, 123.O2 was
referred to in our report. Section 3.
At no one date. however. was more
than $372,O54.35 deferred from de-
post.
:. Second. Had said funds been de-
posted as soon as received in interest
bearing accounts. the Commonwealth
would have received interest during the
time the deposit of these funds was
withheld.

TO OUR FRIENDS.

We take this method of return
ing our sincere thanks to the
many friends of the News who
have recently renewed their SUBJ
scriptions and to those who have
lately had their names placed
upon our subscription list. We do
not believe that there is a county
paper published in the State,
that can boast of a better paying
subscription list, nor one that
has more substantial friends.
1t is an evidence that we are
pleasing the public, and that is
why We are here. There are
some who are yet behind. but
they are being notified and we
believe they will respond. Our
paper is published on time each
week, and by Thursday morning
it is being read in nearly all the
representative homes of the
County, thereby furnishing them
with the vehicle that keeps
them posted touching the affairs
of the county. Our letters from
friends in different States are ex-
ceedingly encouraging and very
gratifying. 1t is no little job to
hunt the news weekly for this
paper, but we do not tire, and
every happening that comes to
our ears; is published, if it is
proper to give it to the public.
Since the present editor has
been in full charge of the COL
umns, the paper has done better
than at any time in the past.
We have had no disposition to
offend any reader. and the
course we have pursued will be
kept up in the future. We again |
thank our patrons for their par
tiality to News, assuring them
that we are indeed grateful. Our
Job Department, under Mr.. J. C. |
Strange, is busy from morning
until night. Mr.. Strange is
known as an artistic job printer,
and we are thankful for the
patronage this department is re-
ceiving. The very best material
is kept in stock, and persons
wanting job-work cannot help
from being pleased.
