July 4. Heretofore they have been COM
PEELED to do their work every day in the
year with the exception of Sundays. 1t is
said that the concession was secured from
the postoffice department by a mail car
rier in Missouri. He thought it unjust
that the rural carriers should be cOmpeI-
ed TO work on the national holiday, so
months before he went TO each CT tho peo-
pie living on his route ana secured the
signatures of each one TO paper stating
that they would be glad to do without
their mail on that day This was sent to
Washington and it had a Statutory effect
upon the powers that rule the destiny Of
the rural mail carriers.

Treasurer Replies-The Court Honse
In New Light

There has been an eruption on Orcas,
not Of volcano but of 2 taxpayer.
Fortunately the outbreak was not of
very violent character and no casual
ties are reported. While it is possible
that there may be-a recurrence of dis
turbance there does not appear to he
any OCCASION for alarm. The cause of
the outbreak seems to have been the
usual form of notice from the county
treasprer to a delinquent taxpayer re-
minding him that he had not paid his
personal tax for 1901 and that it had
been added to his real estate tax, as the
law requires, and that the receipt for
the latter, for which the taxpayer had
remitted, would be issued upon pay
ment of the personal tax also. After
gathering his brows like a gathering
And nursing his wrath to keep it

for few days the aggrieved taxpayer
exploded as follows:

Sir
Your polite letter duly received coin
tanning NJ. O. for $3.50. / enclose you
herewith receipt for Real Estate and Per-
sonal tax.
/ have remark to make for YOUR
benefit to the effect that ! consider myself
considerably superior in honesty to man
who will endeayor to beat the county out
of what he justly ows it, because someone
else has done SO, or thinks he has. The
only way the shack of court house will
ever shelter such msn for any length of
time will be when they are in the custody
of the sheriff.
Ifanyone who owns property has es-
capped paying personal tax during the last
two years it is because he has not been
honest enough to give ID in to tho assessor,
or he thinks be can be8t the treasurer out

looking out for such people.
Truly yours,

Immediately after the arrival of the

ford, deckhand on the Buckeye. Both
belligerents were badly battered, Bas-
ford getting somewhat the worst of it
after a blow over the stomach. La

gressor, Ia said to have made q vicious
and entirely unprovoked assault upon
young Basford Monday afternoon, La
plant being then considerably under
the influence of liquor. 1t was brutal
exhibition, complacently witnessed by
number Of spectators. If the aggres-

Oar friend ard versatile CORE
spondent from Eta Jane, "Vcx,"
asks for an expression Of our opinion
on debating societies for young pee
pie. We have 70 hesitation in Civ
ing our unqualified endorsement to
all such societies which have foy
their object the Bringing together.of
the yonng men Of any community
for friendly discussion Of questions.
moral, political, social or religious,
and especially all questions OF an
historical nature. We think uho
young men Of every community could
do nothing that would broaden their
mind, kindla the fire of intellect.
broaden tho scope Of understanding
and mako possible the achievement
OF success and honor; heretofore con-
sitcred far beyond their reach and
considered as accomplishments ex-
pcct6d only Of those having advantages
OF collegiate training and unusu:
advantages sooner than the or5aniz,
tion OF y debating society would.
BY ell means let there be debating
societies in every community, auG
let therc be earnest preparation for
the various questions propounded for

not only be manifest in the societ
rooms but will be felt in the entire
community.

Ed McKissick was Union county
boy who had made for himself an cnyi-
abe record. We all knew him, were
proud of him and loved him. He has
often said that he always felt like he had
once more got back home when he re-
turned to Union. He never got above
old friends at home, and they were
always as glad to have him return
and clasp his hand as If he had been
brother. lie was generous and
kind and had the happy faculty OF
making staunch and lifelong friends
wherever he went. To know him
was to love him. 1t was with much
pleasure and pardonable pride that
his friends at home watched his ad-
yancement and evergrowing popu-
larity, they always felt that to honor
Ed Mckissick was to honor Union,
the place of his birth, youth and
early manhood, for he never went
back on Union, his old home.
Personally we feel that In his death
we have lost very dear friend. and
it was terrible shock to us to learn
OF his untimely demise. 1t is sad
thing to contemplate this cutting of
by the fell destroyer, our friends and
loved ones in the very prime Of life,
often without moments warming.
But it is only another illustration Of
that old truism:
''In the midst of life
We are in DEATH"
'Green be the turf above thee
Friend Of former days,
None knew thee butt love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise"
