VALEDICTORY.

With this issue l re tire from the edi>
torial management of the BOLIVAR Bulls
LErIN For the past fifteen months I
have labored assiduously to discharge
my duty to four readers, patrons
and the general public. How well
have come up to that duty, l leave with
an enlightened public opinion to say
To all who have, in any way assisted
the BULLETIy during my connection
with it, | return my thanks. In my
intercourse with the public l can say Of
a truth that my intention has always
been good. If have incurred the dis
pleasure of any, therefore have no hes
itation in asking their pardon. To my
brethren of the press, with whom my in
tercourse has at all times been of the
most pleasant nature, l bid farewell
with regret.
l should be pleased to have my
friends to extend to the new manages
ment large portion Of the good will,
confidence and patronage that has been
extended to me.
In regard to my plans for the future;
announce to my friends that it is my
intention, at present, to throw my
whole time and energy into the building
up of Hubbard's Practical School, so as
to place it again on the road to useful>
ness, with greater and better facilities
for the education and training of young
men and boys than it ever had. a sues
cessful experience of twenty-six sessions
in the school room, nineteen Of which
were spent in Bolivar, has given to me a
practical knowledge of the business,
which will rebound greatly to the ad
vantage of my pupils On the first
Monday in September next hope to be
found at my school room.

The New Assessment Law

A. the April term Of the Quarterly
Court a county assessor viii be elected,
who, in CONJUNCTION with assistants to be
chosen by himself, will assess the tax
able value of real estate, not for one
year only, but for the coming four
years, The assessment thus made will,
for four years, be the basis of State,
county and municipal taxation.
The Office of tax assessor, under the
new law, becomes one of the most inn
portant offices in the county. The man
chosen for the position should be famil-
lar with property values, and should
have a character for sound judgment
and sterling integrity. A frstarat e
knowledge Of human nature will avail
him much in the disc barge of his du-
ties. That an Office of so much impor-
lance should be filed by a man capable
in every respect to discharge its duties,
every property holder will fully realize.
That the tax payers demand at the hands
of the Quar- terly Court such a man, Is
self evident
We have, at this writing, heard the
name Of no one mentioned in that cor
nection, but it is presumed, of course,
that there viii be no lack OF candidates.
All mere personal considerations should
be forgotten, and man chosen for the
place who is fully competent to fill it.
The new law is, in most respects, q
good law, leading feature ofwhich Is to
secure AS near as possible, the true vaIu>
alton of property. While no law ever
contemplated less than the arrival at a
true valuation, it is well remarked by a
contemporary, tha5 as much depends
upon administration as on legislation
sometimes more. And, even admitting
that the law is not perfect, it Is the law,
nevertheless, and it is incumbent upon
the Court to see that it is placed in the
hands ola man qualified to discharge the
duties it imposes with efficiency and
fidelity.

1t is planting time VIII our people
remember that they have had no cause to
complain lately of not getting tho money
for anything they had to sell which the
farm produced? Times are hard, but
anything we can raise here will bring
the money. When sent away
to market cotton brings the ready
money, and there is no complaint about
it, except the low prices that have ruled
at times during the past season. Corn,
meat and potatoes would now bring the
ready cash, if our farmers had them to
send away to other markets There is
very little money here with which to
purchase things, but the eau of this is
plain enough. Our cotton crop was
scant last year and we sold much of it at
low prices and paid high prices for pros
vision Those farmers who took special
pains with their corn crops last year are
"tidiDg over" tile hard times now be
than their neighbors who planted cotton
largely to the neglect of corn. Those
who have corn to sell can dispose Of
every bushel of it for fair prices in cash
by sending it away, or sell it here to
good men at enormo usIy Oh prices by
waiting till next Fall for the money. The
operations of the past Sc; son ought to be
sufficient to convince our farmers tn at
they ought to raise more corn, meat and
potatoes and less cotton.
Remember that the difference in the
credit and cash prices of meat in our
own market IS three or four cents on the
pound. You cannot afford to pay this
difference, if you expect to lay up any
thing for the future. You must become
more self>sustaining, if you hope to be in
dependent Ia money matters. Your rem-
edy is to plant more corn and raise more
hogs.
