Another admirable quality in the popular girl is that she seldom talks about

Men love the sympathetic girl, the girl who makes their interests hers, who

An Artistic Suburban Home.

The latter day tendency in
architecture to produce the
unique without consideration of
the correct principles of art has
often been remarked upon, and
was evidently in the mind of the
architect who designed "A Small
Plastered and Shingled House" "
which is illustrated in The De-
lineator for September. The
house is admirably suited to a
suburban location, and while de-
cidedly quaint, is not built on
lines that offend ones sense of
the artistic. The interior also
expresses unique ideas, but is,
above all, comfortable and coy.
Interesting fireplaces, window
seats and furnishings, as we'll as
the decorative scheme, are some
of the points Of departure from
the ordinary, and will be sug-
gestive to prospective home
builders.

Personal Assessment Completed.

Mr.. D. S. Cox, whose familiar
ty with the work has caused him
to be employed to foot up the
totals of the personal assessment
rolls of the county, completed
his task last Monday and turned
over the books to the Chancery
Clerk, Mr.. d. d. Richards. The
result shows most gratifying
increase over the last assessment,
the exact figures being S186, 422.
When it is considered that the
people of Colum bus have invested
over a hundred thousand dollars
in manufacturing enterprises
here in the past few months,
which is exempt under the law,
the increase is far greater than
indicated in the above figures.
The rolls are now in the hands
of the county and they will
be accepted by the Board as a
basis for the county assessment
of taxes, which will be made at
the next meeting of this body in
September.
