her costume was remarked on even
among the well dressed at the race

one of the first to go up and greet
her. A man on the lawn in front Of

squarely at Nan. She saw him but
he did not bow and she did not smile.

Big DECREASE
ON ALL TAXPAYERS IN THE CITY
OF FAIRMoNT FOR THE
YEAR 1905.

There is probably no other ques-
tion of equal Importance with which
the people at large are SO little ac-
quainted as that of taxation. All tax
systems are more or less complex.
and somewhat hard to understand,
and people simply settle with the
sheriff without trying to inform them.
selves on this great question. There
are some complications for the citi-
zens of Fairmont which we think
worthy of explanation. In the first
place We have three districts which
more or less overlap, thus making
confusion, namely, Fairmont Magis.
terial district, Fairmont Independent
school district and the City of Fair
mont corporation. The Fairmont In
dependent district takes in Evansville
and other outlying districts, while the
corporation of the City of Fairmont
does not include these places. On
the other hand, the corporation does
cross the river and take in Palatine
as the First ward OF the city. People
living in Barnsville, for example. pay
State, county. road and school tar,
while residents of the City of Fair
mont proper do not pay a road tax,
but have in its stead a corporation
tax, which last year was s1.2o on the
hundred, but this year will be only
s1.10.
The above explanation we think
will make the following table clear,
as showing what the taxes will be
this year for every resident of the
city proper:
