POOR FUND
There is no doubt but that it
will be necessary to spend a large
amount from the Poor Fund dur
ing the coming winter, due to the
crop failure and lack of employ
ment, but it must be remembered
by those applying for aid and by
the officials that this fund is al
ready overdrawn and that it is
not inexhaustible and that all
moneys expended form this fund
will have to be raised by taxation
upon the people of Sheridan coun-
ty. Economy should be practiced
in the administration of this fund
as well as in the administration of
all other county funds.
