The County Commissioners give
notice by advertisement in this weeks
issue that the levy for 1902 will be closed
on June 10th. The reason for keeping it
open so much later than usual is on &C
count of the re-assessmcnt of personal
property, which is now being made
throughout the county. 1t is said that
the basis will be materially increased and
that the assessments will be much more
equalized.
The refreshing rains of the early part
of this week were blessing to the farm
ers and gardeners. The high winds had
made the ground so dry that it was
difficult to pillow and the early grass and
wheat were both suffering from the want
of moisture. The trees are now rapidly
coming out into leaf and the country
looks beautiful. How anyone, who en-
iovs the beauties of nature, can stand the
hot and stuffy city during this weather
is hard to imagine.
