LOCAL INSTITUTION RELIEVED OF
 5000 OF ASSESSMENT.
Board of Revenue Advertises Bids For Roads at Grounds For State Fair. One Repair Contract Is
 Awarded.

5 At it's meeting yesterday morning, tue Board of Revenue decided to reduce one-fourth the assessment against the American National Bank, the institu- tian which last January merged into the Fourth National.
 R. L. Harmon. the attorney for the bank, was before the Board asking that the stockholders be given some re- lief. He pointed out that the bank had been assessed at $100,0o0 ir October. and on January 1t went out of busi- ness The Board. after considerable discussion. decided to reduce the as- sessment by s25.0o0.
 The contract for improving five miles of the wood1ey road was awarded to J. M. Sullivan. The improvement contemplated will make this highway one of the best in the county.
 Advertisements for bids on the road connecting the Upper and Lower We- tumpka RoaSS at the State Fair grounds were authorized The bids will be received in two sections. One sec- tion will run from the Lower We tumpka Road past the main entrance to the grounds to the southeast corner of the enclosure, and the other will rLn from where the first road leaves off to the Upper Wetumpka Road.
 There hase been some doubt ex- pressed among the members of the Board as to the advisability of build ing the latter section at this time.

 John Johnson was caught running slot machines at a negro fair held last year at Riverside Park. The ma chimes were captured the time and were in court as exhibits against John son.

 Besides the remarkable act in which Madame Andre answers questions with apparent ease and accuracy. while in a emi-trance. the bill at the Casino Theatre at Electric Park this week is above the average Owing to the w sather the opening of The Andre "Mis:ique" was in point of attendance a bad beginning, but the enjoyment of the vaudeville and the interest ia the wondereful powers of the Andres 5y tho audience in a measure compensated.
 finer eXhihitior Of thought trans mission or thought reading, termed on the program "sor11omosto," or dream visons.' is rarely seen than was given last night by Madame Andre, FroGl the time she appeared on the stage and yielded to tho lnesmeric influence of MT. Andre. to the end of the seance. the audience listened with breathless in- tercst. while she called names of people in the audience, told what they were thinking and foretold for them the an- swer to their thoughts.
 Her performance was remar kable. Me dame Andre, an absolute stranger In Montgomery, Knows nothing of the people or pf matters of local interest. Yet she called with so much accuracy and. ooriect ease. names of people in the audience, and went into details about the affairs of people of whom she talked.

PROPERTY VALUE IN MONTGOMERY
 COUNTY INCREASES SI ,o2I.43o

A statement compiled by M A. Ben jamin of the Montgomery County Tax Assessors office for The Advertiser. shows that the tax payers of the coun- ty will pay Into the public treasury assessments on sf.021,4S0 more proper ty than in 1905.
 Of this total, ss3s.00o is natural growth, property assessed for the first time. and the Board of Equalization at it's meeting last week made raises amounting to s1S3.430.
 This makes the value of the taxable property in Montgomery County this year $24.554,704 as opposed to $23.533.- 274. in 1905. An increase of this size shows conelusively that Montgomery

and it's environs are in condition oi prosperity which argues well for the 1910 movement.
 Tn addition to this probably double this increase is in sight for 1907. The several national and State banks which have increased their capital since Cc- tober last. the new industries which have been establihsed improvements which have been made, and all the items of natural growth will make the increase of next year over the cur rent year already in sight, over two million dollars.
 The increase already made in the capitalization of banks alone, based on the taxable value of their stock, amount to $94S750.
