NEVER SAY FAIL.

Keep pushing-'tis wiser
Than sitting aside,
And dreaming and signing
And waiting the tide,
In life's earliest battle,
They only prevail,
Who daily march onward,
And never say fail.
With an eye ever open,
And a tongue that's not dumb,
And heart that will never
To sorrow succumb,
You'll battle and conquer,
Though thousands assail:
How strong and how mighty
Who never say fail.
The spirit Of Angels
Is active 1 know,
As higher and higher
In glory they go;
Methinks on bright piniOns
From Heaven they sail,
To soothe and encourage
Who never say fail.
Ahead, then, keep pushing,
And elbow your way,
Unheeding tho envious
And asses that bray
All obstacles will vanish,
All enemies quail,
In the might of their wisdom
Who never say fail.
In life's rosy morning.
In manhood's fair pride,
Let this be your motto,
Your footsteps to guide:
An storm and in sunshine,
Whatever assail,
Well onward and conquer,
And never say fail!

Superintendent of Schools. The city of

Three hundred and fifty dollars is added to
the state tax in the city, to pay interest on

Last year the State tax was mill it will
be seen that it is considerable lower this

the valuation is $2,739,2l1 IS.
Taking the three items together we find
there was half mill more on the dollar
