Farmers had busy time of it last
week. Flowing for corn, sowing oats
and clover seed and gardening engage
their attention. But of all the busy
creatures now, woman-kind is the
busiest She hardly has time TO think
of voting or any other of the rights of
the masculine type. Gardening, yard
sweeping housekeeping, spring-sewing,
carpet-making and such like things en-
gage her attention and "weightier mat
tiers" for the time are forgotten.

lie failed to go. This affair has stirred
up "Tim's" blood and the following
thoughts are from his pen" The we'll
filed pockets OF officers in his opinion
should receive the next taxation.
"Ten years ago and beyond, the land
In my neighborhood was listed for taxa
ton on an average OF about $1,000 1t
could have been sold then for from $500
10 $500. Now il couldn't be sold for
$1,000 But when the Assessor came
round listing our property he told us he
was instructed 10 hold the property up
TO former valuations, that if they did
not the supervisors would raise them.
And sure enough, when the supervisors
met in Hardinsburg they had letters
from the State Auditor and other Frank
fort 'bosses" telling them that the valu-
alton must be kept up, and four-fifths Of
them being OF the " Household OF the
Faithful" they made IL a rule TO raise
everyone that had been allowed 10 list
below former valuations The horses
the listed prices, the same may be said
OF cattle and sheep etc.
Notwithstanding this. the State Board
of Equalization has raised W ten per
cent. over the real and full value Of all
our property, but the salaries OF nearly
all OF the officers in the State have been
raised twenty-five per cent. In the past
ten years / do not know what the
Court OF appeals would do II these raises
were brought before them, but there is a
higher court, another resort, which will
meet in November. II Is to be hoped
they will change things. and bring about
q relief 10 farmers" GOLDEN Rob.
