THE COUNTY DEBT The Size of the Principal Upon Which the County Pays Interest, Nearly all taxpayers generally like to know just how the county stands as the figures are some index of tax levies of the future. The Clerk's report, made September 30th, 1897, showed a warrant debt of $31303 17. Since that date warrants have is sued in the sum of $9352.85, round numbers, making a total sum of $40,656.02. A visit to the Treas urer's office revealed the fact that up to December 1st, warrants had been cancelled to the extent of $3,090.90. Deducting this amount from the $40,656.02 we have an in terest bearing warrant debt on No vember 30, amounting to $37565.12. Add to this the state debt $7,143.08 and the county's interest bearing liability totals $44,708.20. None of the Circuit Court ex pense of the present term is includ ed in this exhibit, and this item promises to foot up at least two or three thousand dollars. Then the road supervisors' pay will be drawn in a few weeks, so that by spring time our debt will have crawled up quite high. There is only about $500 in the treasury at date of December 1st to apply on the coun ty fund. THREE COWS KILLED Friday Morning Last by the S, P.
