Herzberg County Treasurer, has issued his semi-annual report today, showing the financial condition of Etowah County. The repore, which includes the income and expenditures for the six months ending August 1, shows the County to be in most excellent condition financially, and reflects credit upon the different officials connected with the administration of the County's affairs.
