ssct Assessed Now.

Tfensw assess RS are now az work
in their respeotivs districts and Hun
dreds, making what is called the gen
eral Assessment; W ich Is to stand for
four years. 1t is the duty OF the asses
sors to make an assessment as If none
other had ever been made, and the
names of all voters except those that
were returned rs errors at last springs
session of the Levy Court, on the as
ssssment. There are a few Of such
errors but il they are not now assessed
their names can he placed upon the
books when the Lsvy Court will meet
next March, the year fox which they
were disfranohised having by that
time expired. The assessor by going
from house to honse will be able to
place all the names Of voters on his
lists If he is careful in making inquiry
to see who lives in each house. By
the exercise Of little care there will
be no occasion for the overwhelmi
rush hat marked the meeting at the
City Hall LAST January. Now a worj

MAJ Re very careful to assess only those
who belong TO their own political party
and will not take much trouble to hunt
mp those of the opposite party. This
can be overcome by the voters taking
the matter in their own hands and in.
sisting upon having their names placed
upon the lists. Much valuable aid csu
be rendered the assessors by each voter

Thomas ". saville is the asf essor for

and David Hughes for the Southern
District. Mr.. savill9 being we'll quail.
fed for the Office will We have no doubt
make full, fair and impartial assess
msnt. Still we would advise all both
Democrats and Republicans to make
sure tdat they are assessed. This they
can do by seeing Mr.. Saville personally
or by leaving their exact name on slip
OF paper at their residence, 80 that i'll

one OF the family at home Can give him |
the slip containing the name.
We would give the same advice to
thosn living in the Southern District.
Mr.. Hughes may possibly have some
person assisting MIN in making the
assessment, as ne is deficient both IL |
the art OF writing and in UrthoEraphy
himself. This may require more watch.
fuAess and diligence on the part OIL
voters in the Southern District, ami
extra care should be taken to see tas.
the names arc le5i5ly spelled and
plainly written in the assessment books.
Let every ci.i23n be sure to have bis
name placed upon the assessment. A
little care exercised in that direction
now will save much trouble on appeal
day at the City Hall, and save the ex- Q
pense of a trip and perhaps more than
one trip to the Court House when the t
Lazy Court meets In March next. There '
are 500 Republicans in this city who I
are not assessed and who could not Q
vote at the late Presidential election.
We LOpe that they especially after /
having passed through the bitter exp5- '
rience Of being diefraL ised, will see /
to it that they Gre not again omitted
from the assessment lists. There is 8 1
grand victory awaiting the Republicans l
of the State at the next State election, a
and We want all Republicans to have a c
share in it. 70
