THE ADVANCE, NAPPANEE, INDIANA

Kosciusko County Sliver Lake CLi North Webster are unusually smitten with flu and many deaths have been reported. It is claimed that many of the assessors of Kosciusko county did not get all the taxable property they should have gotten, for Clark Hatfield, county - assessor, already placed $162,205 on the duplicates, and $76,120 of this belongs to Warsaw. It is intimated that road building In this county will be seriously handicapped this season unless the matter of selling bonds is improved. The. market is poor, it i3 stated, and no bonds as yet are reported to have been sold for roads in this community, although many contracts have been let. x Several district schools In this county are closed because of the epidemic of flu. Brady Miller, in jail at Warsaw, charged with forgery, ate soap to make him ill, so the trial would be postponed, so it is rumored. It did not make him ill enough, however. Marriage licenses: Ray G.
