The publication of the decision of
the supreme court in case appealed
from Oktibbeha county, in which it
was held that property belonging to a
fraternal order which was q source Of
revenue to the order was liable to as
sessment and taxation has caused some
confusion among the tax assessors.
Immediately on the publication the
assessor Of Yazoo City assessed the
property Of the Knights Of Pythias
and other fraternnl orders there. At.
torney General McClurg was asked to
define how far the decision in the
Okktibbeha case went, and in response
said: "The case decided at Stark

HAGAN BUILDING BURNED.

Gulfport. The Hagan building, at
the corner Of Twenty fifth avenue and
Fourteenth street, was destroyed by
fire. That several more buildings
were not destroyed along with it is
due to the fact that a dead calm pre-
vailed. The nearest houses were
scorched and saved by the greatest
efforts. The absolute lack Of fire pro-
lection made it difficult for the men
to fight the flames, as they were re-
strioted to few buckets and less
water. The burned building was a
double story frame, owned by J. G.
Hagan.

a committee should be appointed to in

Representative Baker is accused of try
ing to get on the asylum investigation
committee in order to evade the sarcastic
remarks of the "wingess angels" as he
passes by.
Representative Stull is fast acquiring
a reputation as a wit and master Of
repartee. On account of his professional
calling several members have recently
tried little Josh work. on him, but no
one person has yet tried it twice.
