social events of the season. 1t is
estimated that fully 1000 persons
were present. There was an
abundance of good things TO eat.
Entertaining addresses were made

considerably damaged by the
wind, much corn being blown
down.

WILL HAVE TO PAY. TAX.

I
B The city officials are at work per-
fecting plan which is likely to bring
under the list of taxpayers young men
who are considered to have escaped
their just proportion of certain parts
OF the taxes. At the next meeting of
the city council a petition will be pre-
scented which will provide for the poll
ing lists of the city to be examined and
from them list made of the unmar+
.ried men, who to a large extent, have
escaped general taxation for such
property as they possess. For one
thing the young men have heretofore
escaped the school tax, which is always
added to the assessment of married
men. The plan to be adopted will
mean that the schools will get their
proportion of the taxes paid by the
Young men who enjoy all privileges as

benefits the same as married men.
