Publish the Assessments.

How plain it is when brought to our view
that the surest and quickest, az well as most
inexpensive, way to equalize assessments is
to have the rolls published as soon as prepar-
ed. In this Democratic country publicity is
the true method for enlightenment and light
shall drive the darkness out.
Intelligence is the watchword. Give the
public the intelligence as to just how much
Of a assessment is put upon each place and
every mans property and the result will fol-
low as truly as if you "put a nickel in the
slot the machine will do the rest"
Publicity is the safeguard Of all, only fear

publishers stand amazed when the cost of
such work as the Encyclopedia Britannica is

having been paid for a single article, some of
the worlds greatest and most profound
scholars being engaged in the preparation Of
the articles, among whom there were more
than 5000 American authors, engaged upon
American subjects and institutions, thereby
giving to this great work a distinctive Amer.

the cost of a cigar or so, or a couple of pa

A Novel Literary Enterprise.

The American Cooperative Library, recent.
ly organized in New York, undertakes to
give to book readers, anywhere in the United
States, better facilities than heretofore given
them by the largest libraries in the leading
cities, and at an almost trihing cost. You
order any book you want, suitable for general
circulation, and it is supplied Immediately;
you can order either direct, or through your
local Bookseller, country Postmaster or 9th
ors acting as local agents. One cent a day for
a dollar book, proportionately for other val
ues, is the general basis for loans, three cents
being the least charge made. Thus "Ben
Hur" costs four cents for three days, THE
Prince Of India" five cents for four days for
each volume. "Lorna Doone," three cents for
six days, "Uncle Toms Cabin" three cents
for eight days, and so on. You deposit the
price of the book when you order it, keep it
as long as you please, and on its return get
any other book you want to borrow or want
to buy. There are some special advantages
to Book Clubs. Thus at a cost of from $500
to $500 a year one can have access to the
whole world of current and standard litera-
ture. Does not this bring the Literary
Millennium pretty near every homee Circu-
lars are sent free on request, or q 16O-page

InaG always lutcEoSeluS poAioulCai' IL say
that Arthur in every way meets the needs of
a household, from the Oldest to the youngest,
is but a simple statement Of fact. The ex-
~cellence of it's illustrations and the merit and
variety of its contents show what a treasure
the magazine will prove during 1894. Among
the principal articles are The Mosques Of
Tlemcen " and with the Ancient Egyptians"
both capital, both beautifully Illustrated.
"The Yellow Envelope" by Mrs. Mary A.
Denison, is one of that popular writer's best
efforts, and "Miss Vera's Telegram" and
various other stories, are equally good in
their way. "Girls and Boys" and Home
Circle are better than ever. "Woman's
World is crowded with the freshest novel
ties in costumes and needlework of all sorts.
The new department., 1.-THE Clover Club"
promises to be the prominent feature of the
year. We heartily advise all our readers to
they do SO, that they will become Subscribers.

On Track of Andy Iohnson.

A negro named Goodlow was ar rested Saturday afternoon last and placed in jail charged as accessory ta the murder of Howard Johnson. whom it is claimed Andy Johnson shot and killed.
 It seems that Goodlow told several of his colored friends that he went with Andy Johnson to the house of Howard Johnson on the night of the tragedy; that he. Goodlow, called Howard, Johnson to the door and that Andy shot him; after which Andrew went home with him and re- mained all night, leaving the next morning. The witnesses against Goodluw have been summoned and the trial will come up within the next few days. The officers are hard at work on the case and it ia hoped they will yet bring to justice this outlaw, Andrew Johnson.

Mir. NJ. E. Bloom, the gentlemanly teller of the Citizens Bank, has q "kicks against the administration. A few days ago Mayor Bell gave mo- tice to all owners of dogs in the city to mnzzle the same without delay. and that all dogs found on the streets unmuzzled would be killed. Mir. Bloom compiled with the notice and muzzled his dog, but this morning his dog was shot on the street in front of his residence. Mr. Bloom called on the chief of police who said that no order had as yet been given the policemen to shoot unmuzzled dogs, and that it was done by some other parties. At all events, if the city requires dogs to be muzzled the city authorities should see to it that those who comply with the law are protected. Mir. Blooms dog was quite pet in his family and he re- grets his loss very much.
