reflects the general prosperous condi-
tion of the county.
On May 1st the entire outsundinr
i
indebtedness of ' Union unty was
only $43,974 including the interest. It
was not. many years ago when our
outstanding warrants totaled more

as Union, $43,000 is merely a trifle.
However, at the present rate of liqui
dation, the debt will be wiped out very
soon.
