A PENNSYLVANIA LIE
Was this Story Originally Another
Tank BuiIders' Victim.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Postmaster Wharton. The
story it asks about originated in Clar-
ion county, Pa, and was taken from
here by the tank builders on their de-
parture. We can inform the credulous
natives Of the red brush north of us
that the story is lie of whole cloth
and has no foundation whatever. 1t
will be remembered that similar let
ter was received from Midway by a
gentleman living here recently. The
letter is as follows:

LESS THAN LAST YEAR.
Assessment on the F., NJ. & r. X. r
inst Made-IS Decreased.

The Board of Public Works has COM
pleted its assessment Of the railroad
properties in this state. The total
valuation this year is $500, 900 less
than it was last year, although several
new roads have been added and the
Improvements in the others have in
creased their value This county has
but one railroad in it. This is the f.,
M. & P. branch of the b. & O. The
assessment of this is as follows: Ma
rion, $73,320; Monongalia, 1926, 500;
total, $299, 90; last year, 1886, $50,
showing decrease of $50, $50 from
last years assessment. Why this re-
duction in the assessment was made is
not given.
Monongalias assessment last year
was $293, 215, and shows decrease
this year Of $56,625. At IS cents on
the hundred dollars this will cause a
very material decrease in the amount
DERIVED from taxation. Marion's de-
crease is even larger proportionately.

Cultivated Ginseng.

Many farmers are going to ginseng
culture. Ginseng is a root which the
Chinese believe possesses miraculous
qualities, and they are willing to pay
high prices for it. A Texas man has
one acre planted in ginseng which he
values at $4,000. No better soil in
the world than in the mountains of
Pennsylvania, Maryland and West
Virginia, and when wheat is not pay
ing to raise, why not try raising the
Sang root?
