The Rush Over.

The big rush of tax paying is over at
the treasurer's office. Treasurer Brent
man and Deputy Kellogg worked like
beavers for several days to keep their
desks cleared and to attend to those who
called. A little wait in the treasurer's
office at such time shows that there Is
general disposition to kick on taxes
and TO investigate for themselves. This
is all right 1t shows the Independent
American manhood. These taxes are Of
our own making. They have been order
ed by a board OF our own choosing. This
year they are high, comparatively speak
ing, in many parts Of the county. For
instance, in Audubon, the levies amount
to SO mills. AS the assessment is at one
fourth value this is one and two fifths
per cent on the face value OF property
returned to the assessor. Extra town is
/ mills higher, or 67 mills. Leroy town
ship is reasonable, 26 mills; Oakfield %;
Melville %. Schools are the big thing
in making up the taxes In Audubon
taxes they constitute % of the So mills
The state tax is only little over 2mills,
county tax 6 mills. bridges 3 mills, town
10 mills, water tax mills Most OF these
levies are necessities. The schools are
worth all they cost and so on with most
of the items. The 6 mill county fund
can sometime be reduced, perhaps, as
that fund, which has been badly behind
will catch up about the end OF the year
il there are no more big expenses. Big
criminal suits eat into this fast. The
bonded indebtedness OF the county is be-
ing reduced at the rate Of about $1,000
ayear.

at Piedmont, S. ID. He has charge Of
two ware houses ana has general clerk
ship at that place. lie enjoys lucra-
tive salary and has the explicit conf
dence of his employer, having received
several promotions and no doubt his
qualities and energy are paving the way
for others to follow in the near future.
Miss Burkey has been teacher OF the
county for several years, and father Time
and Experience have given her unique
and enviable position in the chosen pro-
fession. She has taught for many con-
secutive years at Sunny Side in Greeley
township with the enthusiastic approval
OF all the pupils and patrons. She is one
