The Volenteer troops will not get
to return by the Suoz canal as every
governor who has troops in the Philp
pines have requested Alger to do.
This will be a disappointment to
many OF the boys, as all wanted t.
come that way thus making circuit
OF the globe. The reasons given for
the action Of the department are
that it would be inexpedient to take
the trOopshipS from their regular
station on the Pacific: that the Suez
route is much longer and much more
expensive; and that the route is re-
garded as unsafe, owing to the eli
matte conditions at this season of the
year, especially for troops which have
undergone the fatigue and hardship,
OF a campaign 10 the Philippines.

Approximately the additionals taken
i'll the fall will be some $24O,OOO max
ing the total assessed value in the
County about $7,50O,0OO. This is q
slight increase over tho preceding year.
At q levy of 13 mills, for all purposes,
this will approximate tax OF about
$4,000, which includes the con- mutn :
tiOn tax.
There arc 500, ,5O5 insurance premiums
paid in the County, which will realize
tax of $764 from the larious Compan-
les.
The assessed value of the banking
capital is $,201,137
There are in the County about II
miles of railroad, which nre assc sscd
Mt $551,75O.
The assessed value of cotton mills is
81 ,458, ,845, from which a tax of %l8, :
962.88 is realized. This will be greatly
increased in another year.
In the number of polls only able
