cent Legislature and the proceeds will
be used to refund money advanced for
the construction, remodeling and equip
ment Of public school buildings during
the past two years.
The bonds will be in denominations
of 81 900 and will bear interest at the
rate of AZ per cent. They will be re-
deemed as follows: $4,000 a year from

year from 1874 to 1913, both inclusive:
SIS, 1000 a year from 1949 to 1858, both

formed that the condition of the stock
market is not favorable to good prices

big premiums that county bonds Of re-
cent years have brought.
Following the opening Of the bids, the
commissioners will resume the hearing
started last Tuesday on the applica-
ton for permit to establish and main
tain a cemetery on 200-acre tract on

urday In order that repairs could be
made to the broken truck. The AIT
cases containing the liquor were labeled
tomatoes.
A drip from one of the boxes led to
the discovery that it was liquor and not
tomatoes which formed the bulk of the
cars load. The discovery was made
while the boxes were being loaded into
another freight car.
A report of the finding was made by
Inspector D. B. Doggett of the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Rail-
road, who notified county officers.
The liquor was discovered during the
morning and the trucks were hauling to
the jail until late in the afternoon. News

have been held up to await definite &C.
ton on the proposed abattoir of the N.
Auth Provision Co. of Washington,

Realty Co. While the architects draw
ings are already in the course of prepa-
ration, the promoters of the building

division. It Is to be cooperative.
According to officials Of the realty
company, from whom the builders have

ing were completed this week. it was
said, with the purchase of the third
