No move looking to calling the county commissioners together to consider tin* situation has been made, and as they will not meet in regular session before September there is anxiety concerning the county’s credit. The commissioners made a loan two years ago that raised such a rumpus as to make them unwilling probably to make another loan. They sold !}!M),()00 I! per cent bonds to the Indianapolis Trust company for $77,000. As the sale was made secretly, without advertising, there was great indignation, and tbe board will probably let the next loan be made by their successors, who come in in December. In the meantime the
county is “strapped.” Itl’HNINO FARMS.
