The eld board of supervisors went out of existence last Monday with the usual ceremonies. Supervisors Ernst and Bender were not present at the obsequies but they came in for their share of the resolutions. Chairman bTiernan who has made a good super visor and an excellant chairman on retiring was remembered by the board with a beautiful silver handled umbrella with his name engraved thereon. Supervisor Held made the Dresentation speech in appropriate language and Chairman Kiernan for once was em harassed by the loss of word to espress his feelings. Tuesday the new board consisting of J. F. Schnre of Humphrey and Wni J Newman of Colnmbus and A. E Pript of Monroe as now members and Supervisors Swanson, Goetz, Held and Clother as hoM-overs effected its organization, John Swanson was elected chairman unanimously.

Great pres sure has been brought to bear en Su pervisor Swanson to vote against the .lonrnal a an official paper although it is well known that the Journal has by far the largest circulation of any paper in the county. Enemies of the. Journal have tiied to make Swanson beli ve that that the Journal editor tried to defeat ' him for chairman. Supervisor Swanson was "worked" wnen he came on the board last year and the democrats nave hoped by mis representation to work him again. Kontire work filled the last session cf tho old board. Tho reports of the county officers are of interest bow ever. The Judge's net lees for the year were $1330.03. The fheriffs fees, net amounted to $1525.1)9 the law al lowing $2000 as a maximum. The clerk of court's fees were $1444.58, the legal msximum being .$1000 The county clerk received his legal maxi mum of ?lo00 and had to torn back to the county SS9.7. The county treas urer received his legal maximum of 2C00 and had to turn hack to the county $229.51. The Whirl of Tim brings to our knowledge many choice hits of farming property both im proved and unimproved whose own ers are looking for buyers. That's the class of property for a man to pur chase if he is looking for low prices and good returns. The prices of these bits within our knowledge are right, and the properties well worth any man's investigation. Look us up and we'll repay your time.
