Brook Reporter. ‘ > The county council met on Monday to pass on the financial affairs of the county. Harry Warr was eleeted president Abe Dewees and Bert Miller were appointed to fin the vacancies made by the refusal of John Hunter and George Stair to qualify. Some $3,000 of unpaid bills were authorized to be settled. $2,000 of this money was owed Jasper county for changes of venue taken for trial, in that county. This was what we owed them. The balance they owe us is much more but the law does not provide for a swapping of accounts. We wiU have to wait on Pasper eounty for the money they owe us which they will no doubt be willing to pay in re sponse to this cheek.
