Choral Society-First Concert Sea-
son OF 1896.

At the Auditorium last evening was
held one of the finest and most salts
factory concerts ever given by the Ma
rietta Choral Society.
A very attractive program was ar
ranged-one that was we'll suited to
the popular taste. Chourses and old
English part songs We're well rendered
to grateful audience.
Miss Villa Ward appeared to great
advantage, and sang two beautiful
songs-one OF them III Bacio," es-
pecially displaying her very pretty and
well ordered voice.
OF course the young lad, Francis Nc
Millen, was the stellar attraction.
His playing on the violin is a truly
wonderful performance. The boy
only ten years old-s veritable gem
ius and is rapidly becoming a master
of the most difficult of musical iQstru-
ments. Francis is self-possessed
little fellow, and goes into his work
with will. He is really wonderful,
and has in him the promise of musi-
clan of the highest order
The audience was large one, and
enjoyed every number hugely. The
chorus singing was beautifully done,
reflecting great credit on the drilling
of Mr.. Bird. The rchestra-Arnold's,
of course-was in fine form, and play
ed several charming numbers marvel
ously we'll.

To Tax MortCaces.

Mr.. Workman of Knox county will
introduce bill in the house providing
for the regulation and taxation of
mortgages. 1t is quite lengthy and
will. If enacted into a law, virtually
amount to a single tax upon real es-
tate, as it provides that if a man owns
a piece of property which is mortgaged,
he is not taxed for the full value of the
property but the mortgage he owes is
deducted. All holders of mortgages
are required to list the same for taxa
tion, and If they fail to do so, the coun-
ty recorder shall turn over to the audi
tor statement showing the mort.
cages in force in the county. If the
holder is nonresident and the mort
gage is not taxed the auditor shall put
it on the tax duplicate and it operates
as lien upon the mortgage and the
tax will have to be paid before 1t is re-
leased,
