Hea.rl. A touching story comes from i i Brock. A few months ago in' ' . . a tit of 1 temporary insanity . caus- I ed In' sickcs : in the family , Mrs. Henri Desconde , a french woman living in the northwest part of i the county committed suicide by , drowning' herself in a rain barrel. Her tragic act left motherless a large family , among them a babe about three months old. After the death of the mother the babe cried incessantly and seemed to ) be pining away with : g-rjl'f. S-"m- pathetic women of the ncig"hbor- hood tried to ministcl to the little one , offering it thc needful food , and while it was properly nour- ished it continued to pine and \ , iLStC awa r. It was a clear case of a baby dying of g"ief. : Finally a great . hearted , mgtlierly Frcnchwoman camc in , and taking the child in her arm , sang an old ] , old lullaby in the patois of Loraine , a folk song of thc peasants 'l'he fretful cries of the babe Ceased , it closed its eyes in con- tent , and dropped into peaceful slnmbor. The mother tongue had cured the ache in its little heart Since then thc good Frenchwomln has visited the saddened home from day to day to sing her song and to lull the little one to slcep. The babe has recovered and is growing into strong and vigorous baby lioud.- Auburn Herald. Trca urcr's Report , 'I ime - anHual report of the county treasurer published in the last issue of 'l'hc Falls } City TrilH111C shows the financial affairs of the county to be in splendid condition. On D cpm- I ber3lst , there was H cash bal- ncc of SSO,12.20 on' hand and 1 not a rel..istered'arrant , out - stanlin In other words the county has this stun of money on hand with \vllich to begin a new rcar. If there were a number of interest bearing warrants to draw against this balance that conli- tion would not be so favorable. Jut ] thc county is out of debt. Thc cash balance is all available fur county nceds. . This large balance 'should have its effect 011 taxation. ' 1'herc should bc imo need of a large ley ) this ycar. If the county board does its duty by the people it will make a levy in proportion to the am0ttilt on ha n(1. ' 1'hcn taxes will be c.orrespunding-Iy lower. It remains to be seen what will be done in the matter. 'I'helargecash balance on hand ] is due largely to Treasurer % ooi 's dillig-encc in collecting delinquent taxes. A distress warrant hall not been issued ] in this county fur years prior to \1 r. uok's in\'I1I11- bcncy. But the law says that the treasurer shall issue distress warrants and Mr. Zouk obeyed , the law. Wl' imagine that it was a hard timing to rlo in some cases hut thc trca.url'r had ; till' nerve ' " . . _ . . " ' - - - - , , , to do his duty as laid down by thc , law. " f Not , long ago we heard a prominent - inent republican say that Martin Zook had cost the people of this county More money than any man that ever filled thc treasurers oflice. At first wc took the re- ' . mark ( as a criticism ot the treas- . urcrs official record , but the man smiting'l r explained himself. Treasurer look has madc more people pay their taxes , consc- qucntly he has cost the pcople : more moncy-but no more than the law presumes than an efti- den treasurer shall cost the peo- . ple.- - IIurimboldt Enterprise - - mss ' A line in NC1l1aha Pre- ' SO acres - cinct , kno\\'n as the St rl Gentry place will hc sold at the Court house on 'l'hursdaHth Feby , 1905. at 2 o'clock p. tn. - Eva ---r Gentry , Almx 2 Ii Call Phone No. 21 For F eel Kerosene It.
