taxes collected was $S50,0f6 II. On June
Il, 1885, the amount was $S56, 1896 60. The
/ increase over last year is therefore $3.50
10. Last year the value on property on
the tax digest was 500. 1856, so. This year
the value is $299. 146, 79S. SO that the in

DQhIOnaUa a. AVIAN
ing, June 10, a young man, J. b. Lewis,
OF Rannin county, II years-old, met with
horrible death while working in tun-
mel at the Calhoun mine, two and half
miles south of town. In his death we
plainly see the sad effect OF not needing
the warning of older persons. He was
told only few minutes before he met
with this accident not to go into the
tunnel, as 1t was not safe. He replied
with an oath that he would go fhe cot
killed; and in disobeying advice he made
the venture, and IN a few moments the
timber gave way, letting the overhead
fall. He was instantly crushed TO death.
He was excavated in about 30 minutes,
when life was entirely extinct. He was
terribly crushed and-a hOrrid sight to be-
hold. In failing to obey Mr.. Crisson, who
controls the works, he met with prema-
ture death, and was rushed headlong into
eternity with profane language on his
lips.
Madisonian: Usury never cleared an
acre Of ground or planted kernel of the
golden grain, but 1t has reaped where it
did not sow. 1t has never burt aesingle
workshop, or factory, or a schOolhOuse,
or church, or put UP a telegraph pole,
or Invented an engine or built one. Usury
never aided in producing particle of
wealth, but il has absorbed the earnin gs
oflabor until the Insurers own all the cart
roads, and all the telegraphs, and all the
mines, and many of the workshops and the
factories, and the churches, and have
mortgages on one-hah OF the homes of all
the people in town and country. Ueury
never built up town, but has destroyed
many. We once knew a man who de-
sired tO.Fuin a prosperous little town, and
devoted his time TO usuTioas business, and
he succeeded and killed the town. Where
once was business, thrift and commercial
activity Is now the silence of death. AL
industries are dead; property is almost
valueless; young men are forced to move
away; there is no employment, no laber
no thrift, no trade, no enterprise in thai
town. All brought about by usury. We
leave it to our readers 10 apply the moral

The purpose of forming an association
at Eustis for the improvement and pro-
lection of stock. as well as all matters
connected with intelligent farming, has
been agitated for some time past, and has
at last assumed the dignity OF organlza-

as it relates to railroads, the association
does not propose to be aggressive to the
proper rights OF the lawful privileges

their efforts will be directed towards the
peaceful settlement Of indemnity for the
