Mr.. Burgess is pleasant speaker and
impresses his auditors that he is deeply
in earnest. AT the evening service a
number of his professional brethren en-
couraged him with their presence.

A WELL attended meeting of the
Farmers Club was held in the Court
House on last Saturday afternoon. Or
ganization and Taxation was discussed,
the talk principally being on the latter.
The general sense of the speakers was
that all public Improvements cost much
more than the estimate, and that
all such matters should be entered into
with judgment, and not rashly. The Gus
tOdians of public money are not careful
in expenditures, and high taxation re
suits from general looseness in the ad-
ministration of affairs. Another meet
ing of the Club will be held on March 10.
The discussion will continue along the
same line.
