B0UQUET
FOR FaIRMoNT.S COURTEOUS
STREET CAR CONDUCTORS
AND MOTORMEN.

What IN Fafrmonr impressed you
most when you first came to the city
is the question which was put to a
stranger 70 our town. when seen by
a representative OF the West Virgin
ian
My reply may surprise you. an
swered the gentleman. but the thing
which made the greatest and most
lasting impression upon me Is the
courteous treatment to strangers, or
to anyone else so far as am yet able
10 learn, by the conductors upon you1
street cars The, requirements Tor
that position must be largely based
upon the applicants ability to be gen
tlemanly and kind. especially to la
dies and children In the Eastern CIT
les il is seldom that the conductor

be brought forcibly to the notice OF

our city. The grandeur of our large
buildings. the richness OF this com
nunity-. the great wealth OF many OF
our citizens. the hustle and hustle OF
our street. are all as naught when
compared to the courteous treatment
of our street car conductors.
Yet this gentleman VINO anS"SiSc

NO causE FoR EXCITEMENT.

IT seems impossible for some people
to look at things through sensible and
.unprejr;uccd spectacIes. The action
of the BoS-d of Public Works in rals-
ing the real estate assessment IN Ma
rfon county is case in point Let
us look calmly and dispassionately
at the matferand see what 1t amounts
to. The increase is 10 per cent, o.
SITS. 1856. This will have no eject
whatever on the taxes so far as the
county, municipal or district tickets
are concerned, as the rate VIII be
lowered exactly in proportion as the
valuation has been increased. Inc
only change in the tax receipts Will
be in the State taxes. Tax Commits
sfoner Dillon estimates the State tax
rate at cents on the hundred dollars
this year. At that rate Marion coun-
tvs increase, due to the change IN
real estate valuation, will be Sl,oSS.lS-
sAs there are about 1900 tax payers
In the county, the increase will
amount to an average OF nine cents
each. Doesn't that look like some peo-
pie are being scared before they are
hurt2 On the other hand, at a i've
cent rate for State taxes Marion coun-
ty viii pay about $4,000 less into the
State fund than was paid last year
and last year we paid about $4,000
less than IN 1904. A net saving OF
$4,000 over the last year under the
old law doesn't look so bad for the
ubiquitous new tax laws, does 1t? Be
honest, now, and think these hSures
over as a citizen, not as partisan.
and see IL you don't feel pretty good
over them

children and grand children, her
spirit took its flight, to be united
with many of her loved ones VINO

Mrs. Tillman was the widow Of

OF Providence are mysterious and
