NEW TAX LAWS.

The following law concerning taxes
will probably interest Adams county
citizens. We have suggested to the
county treasurer the ACCESSIBILITY of
issuing a similar official notice from
his Office, but as he seemed disinter-
ested in the matter or disinclined to
do so, we take the liberty to publish
the statute in abstract and calling the
attention of all taxpayers to two new
laws affecting the payment of taxes,
passed by the last legislature. Sec
ton II, page 291, reads:
"On and after the first Monday Of
February succeeding the levy of taxes
the county treasurer shall proceed to
collect all personal property taxes.
He shall give notice by mail to all
persons charged with personal proper
ty taxes, and if the taxes are not paid
with 30 days after said notice, he shall
distrain sufficient goods and chattels
to pay the same with all costs, ETC."
The other changes relates to the
payment of realty taxes and is con-
tanned in the latter part OF section 6,
page 900, laws OF 1899, and reads as
follows;
'"There shall be an allowance OF B
per cent. rebate to all payers Of taxes
who shall pay the taxes on real prop
erty in one payment and in full, on or
before the 10Th day OF March prior to
the date of delinquency"
As the tax becomes due the first
day OF June, the laws give practically
month and a half in which to pay
the tax and save the 8 per cent.
1t is important that the personal
tax be paid promptly upon receipt OF
the notice, as the law seems to make
this the official notice and the only
one necessary.

"With hope millions stand on the
closing day of the year with faces to-
ward the future" writes Mrs. Hamil-
ton Mott in the January Ladies Home
Journal. "'What will the new year
bring meY each one asks himself. No
one knows. And how we'll it is that
we do not. 1t requires sober thought
to realize that what we are and what
we do are along the lines OF q wise
creation. 1t is often very easy for us
to feel that we might change things
for the better if the power and oppor-
tunity were but ours. But the most
astute cleverness of man is poor al
fair when compared with the simplest
wisdom of God. And one thing that
can make this new year before us hap
pier is to have that one feeling, that
one thought, that one faith always
with us: That whatever is, is right
and for the best. Frequently we cam
not comprehend at the time why this
should be so, why that should happen,
and why some particular trial should
come to us while some great JOY comes
at the same time to another; why we
should have so little and others so
much. But nothing ever comes into
our lives except what is for our good.
And some day we shall understand ALL"

The following from the Review Of
Reviews gives an idea as to the char
acteristic advancement OF the Beers
pitted against England in South AT.
RIGA: "The Boer living ON his farm
has his spiritual backbone made up of
the elementary ideas of half develop
ed communicable family, the clan,
and the country. But he has hardly
matured conception either Of justice
or of freedom, and his love of country
is based upon a very short history.
His patriotism is negative rather than
positive; it is bias against a foreigner
rather than conception of the state
as something to live and die for. To
so small degree has the thought
OF the state or community penetrated
the average Boer that he has never
quite grasped the duty of paying the
taxes. The idea of military duty has
not grown beyond the first stage; it
has produced readiness to fight and
to die, but no systematic view such as
gives cohesion to an army"

Smoking cigars in lodge room is
both filthy and indecorous besides be-
ing ill-mannerly and degrading, and
it should not be tolerated in any
lodge room, aud is not tolerated
among people who have regard for the
prophecies of the hour. 1t is the
privilege OF every man to smoke, if he
SO elects, and is willing to SO debase
his mouth and body; but there are
times and places for the indulgence Of
the "habit"-but the lodge room, the
church, the Car, the parlor, the dining
room, lunch room, are not the places
for it's indulgence-and the officer
who permits it during the ledge ses-
sion is equally culpable with the
smoker. The thing to do is to stop it
and enforce the rules governing all
decently conducted lodges.

One OF the most inexpensive and at
the same time continually acceptable
presents you can make relatives or
friends at distance is q copy of your
local paper for one year, says +. NJ.
Dallam, the excellent editor of the
Lincoln County Times. The burden
of correspondence is onerous to most
men. Letter writing is duty that
most people put off from day to day,
and after while shirk entirely. A
local paper takes the place of letters.
1t keeps relatives in touch when wide
ly separated. Besides the personal
information it carries to the distan mt
relative from time to time, it gives
him or her good idea of the county
you live in and the people with whom
you come in contact. tits link that
connects those far apart and keeps
them in touch. Quite number of
our towns people now send extra
copies east and south. Others should
follow the good example. You leave
the name and $150. We do the rest.
