Physicians readily admit that they obtain results from it that they cannot yet from any other flesh-forming food. There are many otherpreparations on the market that pretend to do what SCOTT'S EMULSION does, but they fail to perform it. The pure Norwegian Cod-liver Oil made into a delightful cream, skillfully blended with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, which ,x ate such valuable tonics, makes this preparation an ideal one and checks the I wasting tendency, and the ; ?'pn patient almost immediatei y. 1 ly commences to put on y ^ flesh and gain a strength which surprises them.

I:i the presentment of the * Jrand Jtnv at las' term of court tliey : ca'N'ii attention of li;e court to jdie tact that 1 had paid myself j $230 asul my clerk $23 out of ( borrowed funds.'' In my card ! oumetime since I denied the j' hariie, and I still deny it; and can, 1 think, &ub>t.uitiatc the fact, j Now, Mr. Kditi r, I am perfectly j willing, and will l>e "lad to have j at least six disinterested men to jCilll Itl III v uillirt iini'sn^nic uic }charjres, and set the matter at ivsi once lor ail. What moneys 1 have received, and what has been paid to my clerk were paid from the contingent innd. as the ?tubs on toy check book show. This I claimed before, and this I c'aini now. In reyard to the $99 paid to the County Hoard, that was paid from "borrowed funds." This was ordered paid by.the Board, which, I think it had a right to do. Tin- mod iiirv ?rl:iioie<l that I had no right lo pay county officers Ironi money borrowed lor a spe eific purpose. IT this be I lie case, I why did the committee of the I ^rand jury and their expert make i out their claims and present them to me to be paid out of "borrowed funds"# I wiij say right here that the expert was paid for his services trotn the "borrowed funds," arid the committee unpointed by grand jury would haw b< ?>p paid from "borrowed fends" and they would have accepted same, hail 1 j not have known that their claims had to be approved by the court before the same could be paid. 1 have no idea that the grand jury would in'eivtjonally do me a wnm;', lor I am satisfied that I j haye some warm friends lli-l beimiired lo the rjrand jury. Mow, Mr. Editor, why did'lie committee appointed by grand jury make mention of myself, clerk and board ol commis.-doiii. rs as having been paid out of "borrowed funds" and !ail to mention N D Lesestie, \ # M .1 Ilioch, expert for commit tee, (iaskius ui d ' thers who were paid otil ol "borrowed funds." Mow, Mr. Editor, there is but one check that has been issued to me or my clerk Hint has "borrowed" wri'Un on it, and that check was for $50 / which was wiillen through ijiis lake of my clerk, and if .Mr. Harrv/*H !?.??! j?l* montiniiii/t I IvtA /illunL* j/**l II?1U %?I 111ft III I' 'in u i 11v % Ii\ vn I when he noticed "borrowed'* | written on the stub, I would have explained to hiin. Mr. Rollins, cou t- treasure, told me that when Mr. Harper came across the check mentioned above, he told Mr. Harper that there was certainly a mistake in that check being drawn on "borrowed funds,'' as there were contingent funds on hand at all times during the year that I could have drawn my pay Irom. Mr. Harper claims that, sotnecf the county olficers called his attention to the fact that they were V # unable to get any money for their services. I will say right here that Mr. Harper will oblige me by irivimr me the names of county officers who informed him. Respectfully, R B CllAXDI.ER, County Supervisor.
