Ii will be seen that the value of his per-
sonal property has increased $50, during
the past year. This is owing to.the fact, We
suppose that the Mayor has not paid any
more special taxes than he could help.
The people wanted a sidewalk on the wet
side Of Main street, from Cherokee street to
the depot. The Mayor owns a lot which
had to lie taxed, and he protested against the
building of the walk.
In this the Mayor has done right. II he
had permitted the walk to be built it would
have cost him $50, and would undoubtedly
have reduced the amount Of his taxable
property.
IL any one thinks the Mayor has under
estimated the value Of his property, he must
remember that the Mayor sets light valua-
ton on this worlds good. He prizes more
highly the spiritual.
I'll take beer, gentlemen, what will you
take, His salary is only fifteen hundred.

Mr.. Richard Coker, who, six or seven
yean ago, was the chief soprano of
Trinity choir IN New York, il said to pos
ses fine tenor voice, and to contemplate
making his debut in New York in about a
year from the present date. During the
years which have elapsed since change Of
voice made his retirement necessary, he has
been studying music. some of the modern
European languages, and such other accom-
plishments as are indispensable to the actor
and opera singer. He is now in his thir-
tieth year, and has apparently bright pro-
fessional future before him.-Caiidgo Post.
This Coker was once attached TO the San
Francisco Minstrels, and being a fine 40
prano, left that troupe to accep. a more lucrs-
tive position in Trinity choir. The min
arels sued him for breaking his engage
ment with them, but We believe he came out
best in the courts. The above is the first We
have heard of him for several years.
