We call your attention to solvent

no entry by the proper officer that any
effort whatever had been made to col

As to the condition of our coun

We have elected Hon. John A.
Smith, commissioner of roads and
revenues to fill the unexpired term
of Hon. Wm. Hosch, resigned.
We recommend that jurors and
bailiffs in both superior and city

Ordinary.
The Ordinary’s office is supplied
with all necessary up-to-date
books which are well kept. .No
money belonging to the county
passes through the hands of the
Ordinary, yet we looked into the
fees which the law prescribes and
are glad to report that said law
has not been violated. The law
requires all persons or firms sub
ject to pay “special tax’* to regis
ter in the Ordinary’s office, in a
book kept for that purpose. A
' m
few names only appear on this
register. We are satisfied that
there are others in the county who
ought to register and pay said tax.
Clerk.
It seems to us that this officer
has every requisite to keep every
thing in first class style—and we
find this to be true, for the hand
writing on the records is - all that
one could wish, and convenient
references are to be found on every
hand.

Below we give amounts paid for
various purposes during the last
six months. The item for inci

two thousand dollars of this went
to suppress sfball-pox, during the
latter part of the winter and early
spring. The amount for roads
and bridges is also extraordinary*
but freshets carried away several
small bridges, which .had to
be aeplaced, and a balance of
