districts, and TO be present at the regular

and to that end they are empowered to raise
the assessed valuation Of the property of any

it is not assessed at fair valuation, and in
passing upon the valuation of any taxable
property, the valuation agreed ON by ma.
jority of the Board shall be prima facie
proof OF the correct valuation. The mem
bers of the Board are required to take an
oath. to be administered by the President
of the Board OF Supervisors to faithfully
and impartially discharge the duties i'm
posed upon them. Each member is entitled
to receive two dollars day. and five cents
for each mile travelled in going to and re-
turning from the county site.
The Board is composed of substantial
men-some of the best citizens in the coun-
ty, who will discharge their duty faithfully
and honestly, but such i Board is regarded
as useless expense. The same duty can
be performed by the Board OF Supervisors.
Some of the Boards OF Supervisors in the
State have refused to appoint such Boards.
There is no penalty for a failure to appoint
them, and We incline to the opinion that
the law should be dead letter on the stat
ute books.

Citations, in that it pays its certificates at
marriage Tor stated time thereafter) while
they pay only at death. 1t also differs from
other marriage associations, giving more
benefits and for less money than they do,

sane mind, can join either of the classes by
complying with the requirements of the

ices and annual dues will be known as the
General Fund 1t will be used to pay Off
GERS, agents, rents and the expenses of the
Union The assessments will be designa-
| ted as the Marriage Benefit Fund, and will
only be used to pay the certificates as mar
riages occur.

heir power to prevent the admission of
iisreputable or immoral people. All ap-
plicants must be satisfactorily recommend

'rceived that the parties marrying are un-
worthy people and have practised fraud

The Appeal is 10Y regarded as one of

tory for the past torty-one years is the
history OF the development Of South

the same in the future. The paper will
continue to be the constant reflex Of

While always on the alert for the latest

priest: "Father John Francis Walsh

in "Pinch," Memphis. A letter re,

condition, in fact, that when Father
Walsh Amounted him he had to
guess at the location of the mans
eyes and mouth. Father Walsh
subsequently fell i'll, and thought
he would visit Father O'Brien, at
Jackson, and recruit his health, not
being aware that he was then in
the first stages of the dlseae.
