As previously advertised, the
County Commissioners setting as a
Board of Revision of taxes are busy
at their office this week adjusting
and raising taxes throughout a great
er portion of the county, where the
assessors failed to comply with their
orders in raising the valuation of
property ten per cent. Had a kind
ergarten for county assessors been
established many years ago, it would
not now be necessary to increase the
burden of taxation. If the Board of
Revision do not discriminate be-
tween the poor farmer and the
wealthy corporations, their work
will be accepted with but little COM
plant. The financial condition of
Sullivan county is already to well
understood TO need any comment at
this time.

| sled and riders plunged into the
horse The frightened animal kick
ed the girls off the sled but luckily
they escaped without any serious in
