after the experience of the past
year. Mr.. Mitchell is doing his
best to bring about an equitable as
sessment in every town in the
county. If he fails, it will simply be
after an exacting attempt to do his
best, after talking with all parties
interested and a personal visit to
the property assessed.
Yesterday we were asked if we
answered NO" we never did, nor
did we ever see a woman Waiting
around town in her shirt sleeves with
cigar in her teeth, and running in
to every saloon she saw. We have
never seen a woman go fishing with
a bottle in her pocket, sit on the
damp ground all day and come home
drunk at night. Nor have we ever
seen a woman yank off her coat
and say she could lick any man in
town. God bless her, she's not
built that way

To one engaged in business it is
vital to know as much as possible of
the disposition and ability of the Gus
toners to meet their obligations, sine
the percentage of desperate" notes
and accounts must be reckoned at the
stock taking period at the end of the
year if the proprietor would know
his actual financial standing. There
will always exist the need for this
caution SC long as human nature con-
tinues to be-human nature. Our
town is practically free from that
class of individuals known as the
professional dead beat, hence the
bad debt collector finds this field
an altogether Improbable one in
which to operate.
Mrs. A. Decker returned home
Thursday from an extended viist
with her husband through the west
ern states for the past two months.
Mr.. Decker is in the employ of the
Omaha Bee, and in that capacity he
visits in different states and writes
up cities and towns for that paper.
Mrs. Decker says that she has en-
joyed her visit very much, but there
has been a great deal of rain and
cold disagreeable weather in the To-
calities where they have visited, and
in that respect is the only way in
which she has not enjoyed her time.
She says that in all the places that
she visited, she found no place that
was preferable to live in than Grand
Rapids.
