The foregoiug report is respectfully
kept, with all books and legal papers
and documents on proper file. We find
that our present clerk, Thos. M. Bell,
has paid into the county treasury from
the hire of misdemeanor convicts, after
all proper costs were paid, the sum of
three hundred and twelve dollars and
fifty-five cents, for which he bolds re
ceipts from the treasurer. (See Act of
1890, page 314, as to duties of clerk In
cases where convict hire is received.)
This is all the money that we have been
able to find that has ever beep paid into
the county treasury from this source.

have honest officers in our county, and
feel that the people’s interests are safe
