Mr.. Charles w. Bromley, of Box
Iron, lost valuable road horse one
day this week from water collie. Mr..

1t is claimed that the estimate OF
S3.96O to pay II assessors for this
county in addition TO pay of Board Of
Control and Review, etc, is excessive,
inasmuch as it will not require ninety
days work for each assessor. On the
other hand there are people who be-
lieve it will be impossible to complete
the work in the ninety days specified
and that the total cost of new assess.
ment, as estimated by the MESSENGER,
will not be far out OF the way.
Farmers have an idea that adver.
Using can in no way benefit them, but
if they would try it they would change
their minds. If they wanted to buy a
horse, instead of spending a day riding
around the country in vain search
for one, they would put a % or 80
cent advertisement in local paper, the
object they desired would soon be
brought to their doors. The same
would hold good when wishing to sell
produce. etc.
A Snow Hill young man while

ON one of the eggs that he wanted a

hearts might hereafter beat rs one.
The young man has not vet secured the
license, although his friends are al.
vising him TO take advantage Of the
Leap Year proposal for fear he will
never get up spunk enough again.
