Assessor Matthews

Tn obedience to your instructions, have made a careful examination of the once of Mr. D. F. Mathews, tax assessor Of Cullman county, Ala, from the beginning of his term of office to June l, 1898.
 The assessment book of 1897 shows nu- merous small errors detrimental to the state and county and was evidently made up in a hurried and careless manner. l also note many inaccurate descriptions, both as to lands and town lots. s~.
 I examined a number of the taxpayers of the county under oath as to whether they were sworn when listing their prop erty. This evidence has shown that MT. Mathews has been diligent in the perform ance of this duty.
 The assessment book of 1885, shows great Improvement over that of 1897, and doubtless, will prove much more satis- factory to the public, when complete, than any previous one.
 MT. Mathews states, under oath, in refer- ence to all of the above substantially as follows:
 "The errors pointed out in the assess ment of 1897 was purely clerical. l was very much hurried in making up this book, as the board of revenue charged the county rate after 1t had been agreed upon by the board of county commissioners, hence all of my work as to extensions of county tax had to be gone over and corrected. I did all in my power to obtain good descriptions but often found it impracticable.

DOLLAR BAY, Mich, July 27.-The
excursion given by the Shamrock Club,
of this city, on the 18th inst, proved to
be a success beyond all expectations.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired, and the immense crowds of peo-
pie took advantage Of it. as was seen. by
the way they congregated on the decks
of tine pleasure barge. AS soon as the
tow reached the ship canal on the coast
Of Lake Superior, the various commit
tees got to work to fix up matters for
the athletic sports. The local team
was shamefully beaten by the Hancocks
at the game of baseball, but they re-
deemed themselves at the handball
game, where they captured everything
within reach. At the jumping Luke
Rheaume had no rival, SO he won tho
prize by jumping off the dock. The
mems race was won by Ed st. John and
the boys race, which was very holly
contested, was won by Willie Fernette
At throwing the sledge George Gmahl-
ing, the Dollar Bay giant, threw the
mighty hammer into the lake for lack
Of room, and as the distance could not
be measured he lost the prize. The
Irish dancing bout was won by James
O'Sullivan, of the Quincy nine. Jim is
dancer from Rebel Cork and though
he had some very spry competitors, he
had no trouble in securing the decision
of full bench of judges. That tile
club made a. neat sum for their treasury
is a foregone conclusion, and all went to
their homes rendering John Green and
his associates a hearty vote of thanks
