THE SILVER STANDARD BANNER.

Music-The Star Spangled Banner.
By O. D. Potter
o, say, can you see, by it's glittering
light,
What so proudly we hail, with it's sill
yer stars beaming,
Whose broad folds ever hover by day
and by night,
Ger the land of free toll with it's
piercing rays streaming,
Beholds the red glare of the goldites
who dare,
Pluck star from it's field or. it's honor
impair.
'Tis the Silver Starred Banner, and
long shall it wave,
Ger the land of the toiler, who IL
ne'er be slave.
On the shores dimly seen in the mist
of the deep,
Where the goldites forever to bond us
proposes,
What is it that on the breeze, with it's
vigils to keep,
AS it fitfully blows, their shrewd gold
craft discloses-
Now catches a CLEAN of their gigantic
scheme
And arOuses the legiOns-the ballot box
team?
'Tis the Silver Starred Banner, and
long shall it wave,
Ger the land Of the toiler, who'll
ne'er be a slave.
From old ninety-two to old seventy
three,
From the Great George to Lincoln it's
par stamp maintaining,
What is it that which was free oe'er the
land and the sea,
Ere the one field spot banner assumed
goldite reigning-
Now dimmed by stroke meath the
strong British yoke,
And the greeu of home tories who profit
and crOak?
'Tis the Silver Starred Banner, and
long shall it wave,
Ger the land of the toiler, who'll
ne'er be slave.
Rise, patriots, arouse. Fortify Bunker
HILL
The Red Coats are coming with gold
With a purpose and will, artful STRAIT
egic skill,
With greed and its subjects to form
coalition;
No, nothing can save noble toll from q
slave,
But the silver starred ballots or
hosts in the grave.
And the Silver Starred Banner in
triumph shall wave.
Ger the rise of the toiler and fall Of
the knave.

Notes from Billing Springs.
To the Editor of the Dispatcb:

MI. G. A. Shealy runs store with
good stock, keeping what the set-
tlement needs, and gathering in
dispite the times much cash money.
He has bought during the last year
over a thousand cross ties. He has
given his SOD 5000 virgin boxes to
work for his own benefit, the pro
ceeds of which the young man will
use to finish his education. Trained
in this manner to labor with an OBJ
iect and to know the value of time
and money, this young man will
make his mark and stand, perhaps,
far above the pampered darlings of
the drawing room.
A man needs determined resolu-
tion and keen foresight in dealing
with the subject of the education of
his children.
The Rev. Mr.. George S. Bearden,
young, popular and gifted, has highly
pleased the people at Nazareth,
where he is efficiently supported by
the Superintendent, Mr.. A. R. Taylor,
and the Assistant, Mr.. G. A. Shealy.
When the suns shadow dwindles

Mr.. Jared Taylor says that the
man who tries to harness mules with

in driving g team of COWS? They
can't flop their ears and look limo.

and mien indicative of conscious
ness of work we'll done. A single

TAX RETURNS,

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
Il law in reference to the assessment
ard taxation Of property, having
filled my appointments in the county
I will be in my Office until the 20tb
day of February, 1896, for the
purpose of receiving tax returns
for the fiscal year 1896.
Taxpayers will please come pre-,
pared to give the name of their
township and number of school dis
trict wherein they reside.
Section 270 of the law in reference
to the assessment Of taxes: (Revised
Statutes reads as follows:
All property shall be valued for
taxation at its true value in money,
which, in all cases not specially pro
vided for by law, shall be held to be
as follows, to wit: For personal prop
erty, the usual selling price on the
usual terms of similar property at
administrators or executors sales, at
the place where the return is made;
and for real property, the usual SELL
ing price on the usual terms Of SINH
lar property at sales for partition
under the order of the court, at the
place where the return is to be made.
If there is no usual selling price,
then at what is honestly believed
could be obtained for the same at a
fair sale under the conditions above
mentioned.
It shall be the duty of each owner
Of lands, and of any new structures
thereon which shall not have been
appraised for taxation. to list the
same for taxation with the County
Auditor of the County in which they
may be situated, on or before the
twentieth day of February next after
the same shall become subject to
taxation.
All returns for taxation must be
filed with the Auditor not later than
February 2Otb,' 1896, as after that
date the law requires the addition Of
so per cent. to the last years return.
Poll tax as we'll as property must be
returned.
