cents a head for every baby born
inside its limits and whose birth is
reported to the county clerk after

count of a law which was enacted
by the last legislature.
The object of tho law was not to
place a bounty on the birth of

recording of tho births of tho
who may born. The
presiding at the birth of a child
will be entitled to collect the tax.
If he neglects his duty, the parent

was a little less in the
pail, and every dollar of it was of
the old war issue of thirty-five years

hank retained the greater part of
the money, but son , of it was in
such condition it had to be sent
to Washington exchanged.
Long, who is seventy years
old, refused to make any
of how he came into possession
of the money. Crumpled up in some

bits of straw, which gave evidence
that the money had been at one
