ner. The house was locked and upon

To The Taxpayers of Chickasaw
County

Whereas, there seems to be- dis
position upon the part of many tax
payers in the county to place an un-
reasonably low estimate upon their
real estate, and whereas, there is a
general spirit of progress and a loud
clamor and demand upon the Board of
Supervisors for public improvements,
which of course will involve great
expenditure of money, and whereas,
unless the people will put liberal
value upon their property, these
things cannot be done without running
the county in debt, and whereas, the
law proves very grave responsibility
upon the county assessor, as well as
the Board with regard to assessing and
properly equalizing assessments,
therefore be it
Resolved by the Board, That we in
sist upon fairer valuation this year,
and resolved further that we intend at
our August meeting to inquire more
diligently into this matter and to make
our work stricter and more thorough
than ever before.

MexlcO-st. Louis Special.

The United States and Mexico,
North Americas sister republics, dee-
tined In the estimation of all to be
closely allied in the stupendous accom-.
plishments of the future, have now
been brought within intimate touch by
the installation of q semi weekly fast
train service, giving a sixty .honE
schedule between St Louis ana the
City Of Mexico. Each Tuesday aud
Friday, at 900 am, through vesti-
bule train leaves the st. Louis Union
Station over the Iron Mountain Route,
and at $50 p. m. two days later will
land lite passengers In the ancient cap
ital of the Montezumas-the present
metropolis and seat of government of
modern Mexico. Unquestionably this
new departure means much for both
nations concerned. 1t is shortening
of the links in the chain of fraternal
amity, born of better understanding
of their mutual interests, and will
bring about a still closer social and
commercialr relationship. Credit lie
due the several through lines which
have CO. operated in this laudable en-
terprise-the Iron Mountain Route, the
Texas & Pacific and the International
& Great Northern Gall Gould roads) on
this eide of the Rio Grande, and the
national Lines OF Mexico beyond La
redo-though beyond shadow of
doubt they will reap a rich harvest
from the rush of tourist and CONNER
cial interests to profit by this oppor-
tunity ofspeedy and comfortable tavel,
a delightful change from the customa-
~ slow time, frequent changes at
junction points, and the tedious lay
overs that formerly robbed travel of
its pleasure. The train will comprise
through compartment, observation
and standard drawing room sleeping
cars and dining car, affordlng every
comfort and luxury Of modern railway
