the property of the State upon which the
tax of this year is to be levied is SILL
100000. Adding one third to the farm.
ing lands, which for taxation are not in.
cIuded in this amount, The real value oI
the property of the State is above $l18,.
100000. This is an increase from the
valuation of 1919, when the last estimate
was made, Of $43, 8l0,655. The tax to
be levied is five cents upon 800, which
will produce the sum of $55, 900, an in.
crease of more than $4,000 over last

22d of February.

This ever-to-be remembered day is fast
drawing near, and as yet, there has bcel
no move towarde celebrating the anniyer
sary of the birth of tho father of our coun
try, Gen. George Washington. Every
true lover of his country should give a
least one thought to the memory Of thi.
great man, a man, through whom, oul
country was declared free and indcpen-
dent, and who fought as only true soldiers
fight, for liberty, and for our homes. Let
there bO something done to commemorate
this nover-to.bo forgotten day, and thus
keep alive in the hearts of the American
people, that there was Washington.
To him who was first in war first in peace, and
hrst In the hearts Of his countrymon."
First In war, ho drew his patriot band,
Not worlds to conquer, but world to save;
When peace and freedom blessed his native land
Resigned his power into the hands that gave.
llluStrious man could not ambition then
Tempt thee to turn against thy country's breast
Thy victor sword, and DO like other men,
And hailed hero, like the aurecd rest
All, no thy laurcls were by virtues won,
Pure and untarnishcd by single shame;
Freedom and glory claim their WAsniSGroN,
Millions unborn will vcncrato that name.
Thou empire founder patriot, soldier, mge,
Centuries may pass, generations rise and die,
Thy fame shall flourish on from ago to age,
Unhecding time, to Immortality.
First in peace, in our bright and early day,
When Constitutions banner was unrurled,
Tho civic chief, how wiso his civic sway, /
When ayoung empire dawncd upon the world. }
First in peoples hearts ah there onsbriped.
His fame and memory will mover die,
Hut will instruct, adorn and bless mankind, D
Till time shall merge into eternity Il
Called to his great reward his rAco is run;
Yet there's pure, mild, bonignant ray, :
'Gleams from the glOries of his setting sun,
TOlSht tho future patriot on bis why. ,
what tho nor bronze nor marble trophies grace u
Nor the proud column lifts its towering head,
Nor nations tribute mark the honorcd place u
Where Orcst the ashes of the mighty dead
Yet, when the future pilgrim Journeys on s
Thro' this vast realm, he'll view with eye intent v
Ihe nAtehless glOries Of a aWAsuNGroN, b
