This umouut $155,0(51) add ed to $022,7 41 will iiiuko a total of $778,405 in Snyder county that is taxable for state purposes. This is by no means all tho money in the county on interest beeausu tho Se linsgrove Bank, on Fi b. 28,hud loans and discounts to tho sum of $92, 10 and tho Middleburg Bauk $133, 905 which added to the taxable total makes tho enormous sum of $1,004, 520.00 that is on interest. It is not to bo understood that nil this money is invested in reul estate, but about I of it, that is, three-fourth of a mil lion, is invested iu real estato aud farming implements. A million dollars is not all tho money on interest in Snyder coun ty because there is uearly $100,000 worth of bank stock held by Snyder couutiaiis und a great deul udditiou ul invested iu railroad stock aud other securities which when added together will amount to about a quarter of u million dollars. Tho le gal interest ou a million aud a quar ter of dollars will amount to u yearly sum of $75,000. It would roquiro 125,000 bushels of wheat at sixty cents to pay this amount.
