When there is sufficient money in the hands of the county treasurer applicable to the payment of any outstanding warrants which have not been presented for payment, the county treasurer may give notice by one publication in some newspaper of general circulation published in the principal county that there is money available to pay certain warrants, giving their numbers in the order of their registration, and stating that at midnight of the date of the publication the warrants mentioned shall cease to bear interest, and thereafter interest on such warrants shall cease.
