ago by the assessor, Mr.. John +. Febrey
Although two terms Of court have inter-
vened, there have been no appeals from Mr.

but fair to presume that his work has been
entirely satisfactory to the land owners Of
he county; and, at the same time, to sho"
that he has borne in mind the interests oil
The State, the fact is mentioned that his as
sessment amounts to SlG1 ,431.1l more than
the assessment made in 1880. The assessors
hooks show the valuation OF lands and i'm
