Judge Walter B. Jones of Montgom-

that the depression is over.
Judge Jones declared the State act
of 1885. prohibiting collection of def

employment and pay roll figures,
Judge Jones said:
These figures were the more i'm

month away. The overwhelming re-
election of President Roosevelt insures
the continued trend in this courts

BOND PAYMENT
MADE in COUNTY

The Treasurer of Sheridan coun-
ty, acting under the orders of the
Board of County Commissioners,
called in $4,000 of outstanding
Sheridan county bonds last We'd
nesday night. The bonds were of
the new refunding issue for June
1, 1885.
Numbers representing the num-
bers on the bonds of that issue
were placed in box and SO were
drawn which were duly designated
for payment.
The method is used because
of the agreement made when
the refunding bonds were issued
last year, because of the fact that
lall bonds were issued in only one
series.
The bonds called are in the de-
nomination of $1,000 each, eight
thousand are being paid from
funds becoming availble from the
spring taxpaying period and thirty
thousand from previous payments
which has been in the banks since
those payments. These payments
reduce the county interest charges
considerably.
