Offer of a Compromise. John G. Williams, attorney for the receiver of the Meridian National Bank, Satfurday made a proposition to the Board of County Commissioners to settle the county's claim of $5,891.42 against the bank for $2,356.56, and offers to compromise the claim for this sum. The claim of the county grew out of the fact that John E. Sullivan, former clerk of Marion county, who left the office in an unsettled financial condition, had placed in the Meridian National Bank $4,500 of the county's money. The members of the Board of County Commissioners and the auditor do not know much about the claim, and the offer of a compromise came as a surprise. The offer will be considered to-morrow morning by the board, and it is probable that it will be accepted.
