: Mrs. Huldah Richardson was born at Sa
yannah NO., Feb, stb, 1851. In the year 1867
she removed to Harding county Ky. In hcr
with the Methodist Episcopal church, and
her relation and attachment to the church
continued, until called to the church trium-
plant. September It'll, 1869, she was united
in marriage to J. N. Richardson.
A few weeks ago she came TO Wichita to
visit her brothers, Mr.. b. D.and Noah Allen,
and other relatives and friends. Her COM
ing was anticipated with delight, and the
reunion after years of separation will not
be forgotten by those who new her so well,
and loved her dearly. This cup Of joy was
soon turned into one Of sorrow. The days
of rejoicing and Borrowing are closely united.
The deepest shadows fall on the brightest
spots. Amidst sweet companionship hap
Ply reunions; and the living over of scenes
OF toll and pleasure and childhoods rambles.
the Death Angel came. On the evening Of
March 14ih 1882, the immortal spirit of Hull
dab Richardson departed to ''be with Christ
which is far BETTER" Love does not die, it
becomes sweeter and stronger amid the pur-
ty of Heaven. Whilst the wife, mother,
daughter and sister possess untroubled felic-
ity, for "In thy presence there is fullness Of
joy and at thy right hand there are pleasures
forcvermore." The husband, children and
relatives, who watched and cared, for her
SO tcnderly, are remembered with a holy
love- The blessed ties stretch from the
hearts of those who are dear to us on the
brighter shore, to our hearts. Death parts
in person not in spirit. Love survives the
tomb The loved ones in Heaven are still
ours, they await our coming.
''Oh, then at last life's trials past.
Wen meet our loved once more,
Whose feet have trod the path to God;
Not lost, but gone BEFORE

A FULL VALUE assxssrrsr.

From what we said two weeks ago, touch
ing the rule adopted by the township assess
ors for listing pr3perty nj its full value, I
might have been understood that w. +
| Green, deputy assessor OF this city, was re
sponsible for the action. If any honor OF
blame attaches for this effort TO fulfill the law
the majority of the board is responsible. II
was carried by large majority after full dis
cussion as we understand 1t. And while up
on this subject again. We will say that this
action is impregnable SO ar as the law and
assessors are concerned. And we believe
the law IS right and proper. The only
trouble Is, and has been, the reprehensible
rule heretofore obtaining Of assessing prop
crty at mere insignificant per cent. of It's
value The only true, the only equitable and
just rule for assessing, is upon fun values.
Any other basis is . fraud and begeis fraud.
The sooner the whole State adopts that rule
lives up TO the law, the sooner will taxa

reports and statistics. Under the old rule
fully one fourth of the inhabitants of cities
creep out of all taxes under the $500 eNemp-
ton clause. The new rule, if universally
adopted, would force nine out CT ten to help
bear the burthens of government. of schools.
etc. For onr own qualification and informa-
ton We have been scanning the agreed basis
of values fixed for assessment in several
counties iRthe State. The result is we find
no two counties are assessed alike. No items
of stock, OF grain, or OF any kind OF proper
ty are uniform. The constitution OF the
State declares that all property must be uni
fornly taxed.
But, as we predicted at first, our assessors
are having no end Of trouble and complaint
in their attempts 10 carry out their rule and
the law. So far as State taxes are concerned
we understand that the State board Of equal
ization has resolved 20 protect from onerous
burthens all counties which fulfill the law in
the matter of returned assessments.
