Here Is what the HopkiIsville New
Era says about HopkinsvilIe dropping
out of the league:'
The reporter who wrote the above
certainly took on heavy overdose
of dope when he squeezed this out of
his think tank. Hopkinsville had too
hard time making arrangements for
going into the league TO think of
Withdrawing now. This club has a
substantial backing both in subscrip-
tion and patronage and when the flag

the last game of the four played with

even on the series. losing two and
winning an equal number. The game
was good with the exception of a

A meeting attended by the mer.
chants OF Milhank was held recently
for the purpose at devising some way
to reach the state board Of equaliza-
ton and get a reduction Of assessment
as left by that board on stocks of mer-
chandise. All the stocks in the city
were assessed by the assessor at 40
per cent of their actual value. This
was raised 100 per cent by the state
board, making an assessment of so per
cent of the actual value upon which
the tax is to be levied. One Milbank
storekeeper paid last year taxes
amounting to $264.54 on his stock. In
1905, on slightly increased stock
bis taxes are $676. In Grant county
the total value OF merchandise as left
by the state board was $78,145 in 1904
and $186,366 in 1905. This large in.
crease in the face Of the fercest com.
