There is no use to discuss new
counties now, pro or con, except
perhaps to save the fragments,
but if the people will only stop
and think about the absolute GER
tainty of increase of taxation con-
sequent upon this cutting up of
large counties they will cease to
clamor for further division. The
smaller the county the greater
sum in proportion each citizen has
to pay for the support of the army
cf county officials, court expenses,
etc, In g people who have long
been crying out for lower taxes this
present craze for new counties is
inexplicable.

sum OF the general happiness. After a
dance on deck-the dancers well
wrapped-had been successfully ac-

salon. "Stille Nacht heilige Nacht"
