Notwithstanding the sensational

Governor Glasscock is not perturb.

says, II have the greatest faith in
the ultimate success OF the uniform

OF the best pieces of recent leglsla-

systems operations in Ohio,
where MILLIONS OF dollars have
been saved for the people. In sev-

county treasures by officials have
been returned. In short. an account

the business of the counties.
So far under the new law two re-
ports have been made to the state
tax commissioner, in which there is
SUFFICIENT evidence to show that the
act has been successful. For in

ported large fees collected and turn

fines collected was ridiculously
small. In this connection the state
tax commissioners office promises d
statement at an early date showing
thessalutary effects of the new law.
Doubtless 1t is true that in a few
places smooth operation does not vel

HIGH SCHOOL BACCALAUREATE

The Congregational church was
crowded last Sunday evening to
hear the annual bacculaureate SER
mon to the graduates of the High
School. Rev. w. L. Rowan was the
speaker and he gave an excellent
practical address. Starting with
the statement that there could be
no excellence without great labor.
He took as his text: Seek that We
may excel" Life as an opportun-
ity for comparisons. Comparison
has already been made with class
mates, comparisons will continue.
Therefore, seek to excel. Seek to
to excel tn mental attainment. It
means much to one personally.
There are no limitations of mind
that are self imposed. Seek also to
excel in spiritual attainment. Such
excellence will give true worth and
will be rewarded with success in the
true sense of the term. Look we'll
to your physical we'll being. Success
can hardly be attained without
health. Life is a school and you
continue to be a learner, willing to
receive instruction as you have in
the past in your school.
