The Rise In the River

The Rise In the River.
It is little short Of astonishing to
see how little water is required to float
the southern river steamers, boat
loaded with perhaps thousand bales
Of cotton slipping along contentedly
where boy could wade across the
stream. Once, however, the Chatta-
hoochee got too low for even her light
draft commerce, and at Gunboat
shoals a steamer grounded. AS the
drinking water on board needed re-
plenishing, deck hand was sent ashore
with couple of water buckets Just
at this moment northern traveller ap-
preached the captain Of the boat, and
asked him how long he thought they
would have to stay there.
ooh, only until that man gets back
with bucket of water to pour into
the river" the captain replied. Pres
emily the deck hand returned, and the
stale water from the cooler was
emptied overheard. Instantly, to the
amazement of the traveller, the boat
began to move.
"Well, if that doesn't beat thunder!'
he gasped. -..
The fact was that the boat, touching
the bottom, had acted as a dam, and
there was soon backed up behind her
enough water to lift her over the shoal
and send her on down the stream.-

Assessors Must be Honest.

The state tax commissioners have
sent out to every board of county
commissioners in the state a letter
which points out that the county com.
missioners shall see to it that, above
everything else, assessors of the strict
est honesty and integrity are chosen
and that at all times the most com.
plete harmony must obtain between
them. I'm the plan of assessment,
says the letter, "as now outlined by
the statues, all property, real or per.
sonal, whether owned by individuals
partnerships, companies, or corpora
tons must hereafter be assessed at
its actual value in money" It is to
the fulfllment Of this phase Of the
law that the tax commission is now
bending every energy, and from time
to time will send out letters such as
the one just issued. The commission
feels that there must be close coop
Grafton among all parties interested In
the administration of the law.

The Lsavsnworth Fair.

Leavenworth had an old-time coun-
ty fair>this year, the first one In more
than a quarter Of a century. There
have been race meetings and apple
carnivaIs in the interval, but the last
time county fair was attempted was
in 1881, rs years ago. That the regu-
lar county fair, with its live stock,
horticultural and agricultural and 9TH
er exhibits is popular is attested by
the large crowds that attended daily.
The attendance was much greater
than was anticipated by the promoters
of the fair. There were 10000 visitors
one day. The crowd was so large that
it could not be managed by the dep
uty sheriffs and special police, and a
cavalry patrol had to be used to keep
spectators of the race track. No beer
or intoxicating liquor was sold In the
fair grounds inclosure. This is a
unique experience for public enter
prise of this nature in Leavenworth,
and the management is receiving "a
vorable commentator for shutting
the "joint keepers out. Gambling
was attempted the first two days, but
strong protests abolished this. Gam.
blers and Joint keepers picked out the
best places heretofore and did as they
pleased The wisdom of running a
clean fair is attested by the big at
tendance, especially of women and
children.
