tbs. formers uncle, Mr.. Caleb
Walton, who resides near Good

have corn that is two years old?
We have never known a Walton

and, what is more, they are as
good all-round citizens as they are
farmers.
Chambry, Gingbans, etc, in
fact all Summer Goods at great
bargain prices. I,
Mr.,R A. Cochran, who was in
Colu unbla the major portion of
last week in attendance upon a
meeting Of .she State Es,uaIzation
Board, gave us: the fol owing in-
formation that will be of interest
to our readers: The assessment of
reel estate. remains the same in
Edge6eld as fixed by tine county
board, which is about $40 higher
than the returns for 1902. The
real estate average now is $4.04
per acre against So GO jn 1902.
This valuation was arrived at by
taking 1870 of tae average price at
which land has sold during the
past four years. This places Edge
field on an equitable basis with
the other counties. The State
Board raised the assessor ents in
some of the counties 500.
