o YOUR TAXES.

A little before 8 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon the county court made the
annual tax levy. 1t is as follows:
For county revenue 80 cents on
800.
For county compromise fund 80 cents
on 800.
For state % cents on 500.
1t will be seen that in spite of all the
reports that have been circulated
about a raise in taxes, the levy ID the
same as last year, and last years levy
was the lowest made for many years.
The township levy is as follows:
Freedom township 25 cents on 500.
Middleton township 20 cents on
800.
Sni-a-Bar township 40 cents on 500.
Lexington township 40 cents on 500.
Washington township so cents on
800.
All the above are the same as last
year except Lexington and Washington
townships, which are decreased 10
cents each.

AN ROAD,

The subject of an electric railroad
from Lexington to MAYHEM was under
discussion at the Commercial clut
meeting last Tuesday evening, and q
committee was appointed to look into
the matter and report to the club at its
next meeting estimates of the cost OF
building and operating the road.
The INTELLIGENCER heartily endorses
this movement, and trusts that if after
investigation it is found feasible, that
the citizens of Lexington will take
hold of the matter and push it to a
successful end.
An electric road to MAYHEM, with
cars running every two hours, would
put Lexington in easy access to every
city of the county. The additional
facilities that would come from direct
connection with the Chicago & Alton
railroad at MAYHEM would be very
profitable to this city and to the
county.
The electric road seems to us to be
feasible. The committee is at work,
and 1t should see that the matter is
thorough ly Investigated.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

H~igginsville has kept up a county
seat wal in this county for five years.
This dissension and division in the
county has crippled and is now
materially crippling every material
enterprise in the county.
The county seat question will be the
subject of more or less agitation until
it is shown to the Higginsville chooses"
Just where the people stand On the
question. The time to settle all this
is on the third of next November, and
the place IS at the polls.
Not in the interest of Lexington, nor
against the interest of H~igginsville,
but in the interest of the taxpayers of
this county who reside out of both
towns, the INTELLIGENCER calls upon
the agitators of Higginsville to come
on with their hidden petition and get
an order from the county court for an
election. Justice to the unfortunate
taxpayers of this county who have
been led into this measure demands a
settlement of this issue.
There can be no fairer proposition
than to let the voters settle it, and
Lafayette county will not thrive as she
ought, until the matter is settled.

d G. N. GOODE.

Having received two fiatlerlng calls
one from Illinois and the other from
Colorado, Elder Galen NJ. Goode, who
for the past six years has been the
pastor of the Christian church of thi:
city, will about the first of June leave
Lexington.
The INTELLIGENCER wants to be
counted among the cores who express
heartfelt regret upon Elder Goodies
contemplated departure. He has moi
only made the church an excellent and
faithful pastor, but he has also been
numbered with that part of our citizen
ship which has always stood at the
front in the battle for public enter
prises of worthy nature.
Elder Goode leaves in Lexington an
influence which will never die, and
which has blessed and Will continue to
bless humanity and our city. Wherever
he goes the good wishes of Lexington
90 with him.
