The citizens of this township, are

the building of a railroad wouid
bring to US. We are ready and Will

in the business capacity and improve

county as do those who are so fortu-

Auten, from Knoxville or vicinity
remained over night, and fell into

He let Morrow off with fine of

the next time they visited Pella they
would bring their friends along and
stir things up lively.
Large quantities of rock are still
being shipped on the X. & d. M. Ry,

had twenty cars shipped to that

twenty-five more.
The X. & ID. M. Ry. has received
two more new engines from the

Farmers here are all done seeding,

A large amount of hedge will be
set hereabout this spring. We are
glad of this, as we regard it the best
and most economical mode of max

James Harvey is remodeling his
barn. Workmen are raising it this
week preparatory to building base

This is not very favorable day for

EDITOR JOURNALS: / notice that
the assessor Of Knoxville township
states that he found S. . of s. +. of
Sec. 81, in Knoxville township val :
ued at So per acre by his predecessor,
and did not change the valuation.
There is mistake somewhere. The
tax receipt shows the valuation OF
said land to be Sl,056. He also says
that Mr.. Bates land is listed 81 per
acre higher than that above describ-
ed. Out of his own mouth we con-
denim him. He only allows $50 for
a good house and barn on the Bates
land.
j also notice in your editorial that
you condemn the method of strik-
ing out the roads in making the
assessments on lands, saying that
custom is against such proceedings.
Does the assessor of Knoxville city
assess the streets of the city? / think
not, as all public roads belong
to the public at large, and no one is
at liberty to obstruct said roads. 1t
is enough that owners give the
lands occupied by roads without
being required to pay taxes upon
them. We therefore conclude that
any thinking man would endorse
our position that 1t is not right to
tax highways.

Fast Walking Horses.

The best gait horse has is the fast
walk. A slow walking horse is an
abomination. Who has patience with
such horse? If you ride him or
drive him, he exhausts your patience.
II be is used to plow or harrow, or 20
on the road, he mopes along at snails
pace. He does only about half the
work of rapid walker. II time is
money, you make money, because you
save time by having a horse that walks
fast.
Breeders should pay attention to
this matter. In selecting a stallion to
breed from, by all means select one
that can walk fast. A slow walking
stallion will be likely to get slow walk:
ing colts while the stallion that has a
long, rapid, spirited stride, will be like
ly to beget colts with a similar action.
Then, there is a great deal in breed,
ing to horse with spirit and ambition
These cold -blooded horses will beget
cold -bloodcd colts. The nearer you
can approach the thoroughbred, even
for obtaining fast walker, the better
There is game there, and spirit, and
endurance, and stamina, and style.
There arc the neat, bony heads, The
prominent eyes, the small ears, the Ca
pacious nostrils. the large lungs and
chest, the we'll developed muscles, the
bones as dense as ivory.
Even for walkers, then, get the
pearest to thoroughbred possible, and
the same for trotters, and Of course the
same for runners You have, then, hors-
es fit for any company, and for any
haul the .plow, or buggy,
or carriage, or to carry you upon their
backs, Breed large, foe mares to
thoroughbred horses, and you will not
