The Sentinel today contains an other call fo r county warrants from Treasurer Dimmick, this tim e fo r all issued before Jaa. 1, 1916. It w ill ba noted that the interest on warranto under thia call cessed on Jsn. 8, having been figured in that w ay be fore M r. Dimmick learned that the Sentinel had been made the official county paper fo r the publication o f such notices, and then it was out o f the question to go over all the compu- tations and change the interest to tals a few cento.
