To the Honorable Board of Supervi
sors of Holt County, Nebraska.
The undersigned County Judge of
said County finds that it will be nec
essary for him to be absent from the
count yfor a short period and respect
fully asks that a suitable person be
appointed to perform the duties of
County Judge during the time that the
undersigned may be absent from the
county. Respectfully,
Thomas Carlon, County Judge.
Whereas, it has been made to ap
pear that Thos. Carlon, County Judge,
will be absent from the county for a
short period, it is therefore hereby re
solved, that Hon. L. C. Chapman, of
this County be and he hereby is ap
pointed to act as County Judge of said
County during and only for the period
or periods that the present County
Judge of said County will be absent
from said County. Upon motion the
said L. C. Chapman, qualifying as re
quired by law

On motion all bids for county sup

.j? ItiT_L 1 rvi E
To the Honorable Board of Supervi
sors of Holt County, Nebraska.
The undersigned County Judge of
said County respectfully represents
that the fees of the County Judge’s of
fice during the last four years, as
shown by the fee books of said office
to be increased to the amount of
$860.30 each of year eyars showing a
substantial gain in the amount of fees.
While this is true, no increase in the
allowance of compensation for clerk
hire has been allowed.
Our statutes provides that in coun
ties like Holt County that $800 for
clerk hire may be allowed.
The business of the office as shown
by fees of same has reached to such
proportions as to merit said statutory
allowance for there is absolutely no
doubt but that the same will be needed
for extra help. I therefore respect
fully request that $150 be allowed for
extra clerk help which does not ex
ceed the amount allowed by law. Re
spectfully submitted,
Thomas Carlon, County Judge.
On motion prayer of petition was
granted.

MR. | JOSITOR:
We invite you to Deposit your funds
in this bank for the reason that all depositors
arc protected by the Depositors’ Guarrantee
Fund of the State of Nebraska.
That the Deposits are amply protected |
in State Banks was exemplified in the failure |
of the State Savings Bank of Superior, Ne- %
braska, a few months ago. Shortly after the J
bank closed the depositors were paid in full, I
together with interest up to the time the bank |
suspended payment. g
At the same time the First National I
Bank of Superior failed and up to this time 1
the depositors have not received a cent, and I •
prospects of ever receiving a substantial por- 1
tion of their deposits are not very bright. |
The harvest of the farmers and stock- |
men is now at hand and they will soon be dis- |
posing of their products and will want to de- 1
posit their surplus funds. 1
Kindly keep this bank in mind, as- this 1
is the only bank in O’Neill operating under the |
Guarrantee Law of the State of Nebraska. 1
