The equalized (?) valuation of the
county is the same as last year, $4,000,
600. According to the opinion of the
board of supervisors the following towns
must be classed as the prosperous ones,
as their valuation has been increased as
follows: Columbia, $4,000; Decatur,
$4,000; Lawrence, $4,000; Paw Paw,
$4,000. Bangor, Bloomingdale, Covert,
Hamilton, Porter and Waverly appear to
be at a standstill, as their valuation re-
mains unchanged. The following town
ships and the city Of South Haven APP
pear to be retrograding, their valuations
having been decreased as follows:
Almena, $4,000; Antwerp, $4,000;
Geneva, $1,000; Hartford, $4,000; Keller,
$4,000; Pine Grove, Sl0,0OO South
Haven, s4,372; city Of South Haven,
1928. The townships in which the
valuations have been increased are en-.
titled to congratulations on their pros
perity in these acknowledged to be pros
porous times.

Missed n Train That Was a Day Lat

When the Switz City division of the
Illinois Central was built it was known
as the Indiana and Illinois Southern.
1t was a narrow gauge road, the road
bed was bad, the engines and cars
were built on a miniature scale, and
while there was a schedule. had Il train
been on time the fact would have been
regarded as miracle. The road was
known rs the Try Weakly"
On one occasion Josiah Mcconnell
desired to 90 to Switz City from Sulli-
van, but missed the train by a minute
or two. The clock at the station show
ed that the train had left Sullivan five
minutes ahead Of time, and Mcconnell
sued the railroad company for $1,000
damages On a trial Of the case it
was proved beyond a doubt that the
train Mcconnell missed should have
gone the day before and was really
twenty-three hours and fifty-fve min
utes late.-Indianapolis News.

The republican board of supervisors
failed to take advantage of its partisan
supremacy to the same extent as did its
democratic predecessors. When the
democrats were in control, no republi-
can was placed in public position by
their appointment except one place on
the board of county canvassers, which
they were forced to fill with a republi-
can under the statute. The present
board magnanimously reelected DIR.
Vaughan as a county superintendent Of
the poor, and that in spite of the fact
that the superntendents are solidly
democratic and the board of supervisors
dominantly republican. The True Nor
therner has no fault to find with DR..
Vaughan except that he is a democrat,
and republican board of supervisors
might reasonably have been expected to
give the party representation among the
superintendent of the poor, especially
as the democratic boards had not scru-
pied to fill all the places with men of
that party. However, it is not fair to
lay this neglect of party opportunity to
the whole board, as two of the republi-
can supervisors only are responsible for it..
