Under n new law that goes into

must file applications with tho coun
tv treasurer hv tho first Moudav ill
June, with nworu statement of tho
tinnk'ri condition. A dctositary
bond, secured by n duly qualified
surety company guarauteoiug tho
amount of dctosits applied for or
hy other security. Two tcr cent in
terest is paid on balances.
The county court nt its next meet
ing will probably authorize tho us
of county warrants as security for
county funds deposited in hanks,
such action being contemplated by
members of tho court. Tho effect of
this will ho to create n demand for
county warrants hy tho banks, and
result in their bebig forced to par

Such result will completely restore
tho credit of tho county to its right
