Lecture at the Christian Church.

The Christian church was well
flied last night to hear Rev. w. f.
Hall deliver his lecture on "How to
get married and stay So" 1t is evil
dent that those who heard him Sun
day night on the mistakes of Inger,
soil" were disappointed last night.
The Sunday night lecture was good
and it was enjoyed by the large audi
ence. The one last night, while
humorous, was on much lower
plane than thoughtful people had an
ticipated, and was tiresome to many.
Chestnuts, musty with age, abounded,
and there was a sigh Of relief when
the lecturer deity threw kiss at the
audience and babe them good night.

Will the Convention Adjourn for the
ReunionP

The question is frequently asked
will the Baptist convention adjourn
to take part in the Reunion? That
depends altogether on the temper
and feeling of the convention.
The bivouac fixed the Reunion on
that day to please many old COM
rades who will be in attendance at
the convention anu many will al
tend whether the convention adj
journs or not. DR.. Jones, of Atlanta,
who comes to the convention, will
be one of the speakers on that occa-
sion, and we are sure that every
body in GAINESVILLE on that day will
want to hear him.

THE PRIVILEGE TAX.
Some OF the Doings Of Our incompetent
Legislature.

Following are some of the changes
in the privilege tax as fixed by the
last Legislature. In order TO reduce
the taxes on some things able to bear
high taxation, it was necessary to
raise it on others almost out of ex-
istence. Here are some of the raises
for State purposes alone. The county,
railroad and city are entitled to levy
the same, but the county and railroad
privileges were fixed before this law
went into effect, based on the old
rates, and will not be changed with
out furtheraction fthe court: Butch
ers' privilege, raised from $40 to $50 ;
coal dealers, from $40 to $25; hotels
per room, 81 TO $1.5O; lightning rod
peddlers, from $40 to $50; dealers in
tombstones, from nothing to 500
undertakes from nothing to 500
turnpikes, each gate, from nothing
to $25; dealers in futures, from $3.50
TO $0UU; county ana railroad auueO
makes this 81 800.
| REDUCTIONS.
Banks, from 81 per 81, 900 to 81
land companies, from 5000 to 800 ;
theatre companies, from $50 to $25
warehouses, from $50 to $25. Water
companies are released from privi
lege.
A privilege is also levied on lega
cies left to minors by will, trust o.
otherwise, of S. per $1,000. Lane
transfers are heavily taxed, and thu
tax is increased on real estate agent
and land dealers.
Who had a hand in -all the work il
what the people want to know?
| Add to all of these items the coun
| ty and railroad city tax privilege
and city at the same rate, and thu
reader will see what difference i
makes,

The Reno University,

The air Of Reno is filled with
charges against the State University
students and the way il which the
institution is coLdrcted. Some Of
these charges are OF such a nature
that they ought not oc made unless
there IS the fullest, possible proof. II
IL quite evident that there is a screw
loose somewhere, and many Reno
people decline IL send their children
there, but send them 10 California in
stead. The new resident seens to
have no discipline whatever aud the
tone OF the Institution IS lower than
ever.
Nevada has spent n good deal OF
money and the Taxpayers OF the State
have tried hard 10 have some pride in
the State University, but the institu.
lion seems to Dc passing from bad to
worse anil wa never worse than NOW.
The present Rnar'l Of Regents ought

what IS the matter. and endeavor TO SO

The special word by word PLANNING
that goes with it. be it ever so slight
and even unconscious. does get in the
way Of free expression. and there is n
tendency in the writer 10 think out his
