Figures compiled in the office of
the auditor of state, shows that the
quantity of hogs in Ohio is decreas-
ing, and that there are fewer porkers
in every county than there were last
year. The decrease is charged to the
high price of corn, which makes more
money for the farmers when sold as
grain than as meat. The same report
shows more horses, sheep, cattle and
mules.

An exchange says: Anything can
be overdone. A man can tend so
strictly to his own business that he
fails to see the want and need of his
fellow man. A man can confine him
self to his own particular business
and forget that he owes duty to his
town. He may be SO wrapped up in
his own affairs that a boost for an
other just out of his regular routine
would never occur to him. Aren't we
all just little that way? Do we all
show the proper progressiveness and
spirit when 1t comes to upbuilding
and bettering our community? Do
we all work together with that spirit
oF good will that should characterize
every effort for the good of the vii
lage? We are not certain that we do.
If not, let's all get in the band wag-
on, forget our personal grievance,
and unite on anything that will help
our town and our community

MRS. VAsSAR ALLEN
 ENTERTAINS AT LUNCHEON,

A pretty event of yesterday was Mrs. Vassar l.. Aliens luncheon for Miss Ale thea Wallace, whose wedding will take place this evening. The pretty bride elect, her bridesmaids and several other friends composed the party that, with the hostess, gathered about the luncheon table.

Sweet peas made an eff fective centerpiece and at each place was a pink silk rose half blown and contain ing little bags of rice. They contained the names of the following guests: Miss Wallace, Miss Lola Ridout, Miss Mary Porter of Florente. Miss Martha Bradford of Huntsville, Miss Florence Rogers, Miss Amy Ward and Miss Ruth Allen.
 A pretty feature of the occasion was the offering of toasts, each guest giving a pretty wish for the happiness of the bride elect. The luncheon was followed by several games of bridge, which made a pleasant climax to an altogether happy affair.

INEQUALITIES OF
 STATE TAXATION MisSiSSippians Want to Change
 the Present Laws COLONEL STREETS VIEWS Meridian Legislator Is in Favor of State Board of Equalization and
 Will Take Matter up When ; Lawmakers Meet.
COLONEL STREETS VIEWS

Jackson, Miss, June Especially )-Dur- ing the last session of the legis- lature a good deal was said about the in- equalities of the burden of taxation, and there was a demand for a change In the assessment laws that would bring about a reform that would insure special priv ileges to none and equal justice to all A great many plans were suggested, but all that was done was to name a committee, of which Speaker Street was made chair man, which was to meet at some time be- fore the next session of the same legisla- ture and determine on a plan that will secure equality. Colonel Street has re- gently announced that this committee would meet at an early date at Jackson, but there is no indication as to what will be done or suggested.
 The understanding is that Colonel Street favors a state board of equalization, and that is better than what Mississippi has in county boards of equalization that never equalize The boards of supervisors have that matter In hand, but the average su- pervisor Is always a candidate for some higher office, and he dares not to raise the assessments in his district, even if he knows they are ridiculously low. There are thousands of acres of land in the state of Mississippi today assessed at s5 per acre which could not be purchased for $50, and it is impossible to get boards of supervisors to assess these acres as they should be.
 The state board of equalization would be nothing new for the state of Missls- sippi; it had one about 20 years ago, but the supreme court knocked it out on the ground of unconstitutionaiity, and since that time there has been nothing that approached a fair and honest assess ment of the realty of the state. If a state board Is unconstitutional, some other means of securing equalization will have to be found, but the fact remains that if land values are to be capitalized and as- sessed at anything like their worth. the assessor will have to be a person whose reelection does not depend on the voters of his county.
 It has been suggested that the remedy is not to be found in boards or commis- sions; that 1t Is a matter to be left to the patriotism and the sense of moral duty of the property owners that a sen timent in that direction must be created and established before proper valuations can be secured. In that event the pres ent generation must first be wiped off the map. the sentiment now being that it Is no sin and no harm to lie to the tax as- sessor.
 A good deal of excitement seems to have been stirred up at Greenvilie a few days since by Bishop" Hampton. negro bishop. who has enjoyed the confidence of the white people of the state to very great degree for many years, but who, having now made ono false step will be persona non grata hereafter, and might Just as well re- main on the other side of the Ohio river

The young lady operator reported the matter and a crowd of her friends waited on" the bishop, sug gesting that he shake the dust Of Greenville from his shoes, and he did so. taking Miss" Hampton with him. It is stated that he went to Cincin- nati-a town where negro women are addressed as Miss or Mrs, and 1t Is hoped they will stay there-as they have been advised to do.
 w. ". Leggett of near Woodville has received letter from a farmer friend of near Alexandria, La, in which he advises that it Is useless to try to fight the boil weevil, as he Is master of the situation once he gets hold of district. The Louisiana man says that in 1906 the Alexandria compress han dled 10000 bales of cotton; in 1907, 23,- 900; in 1908, 3300. This year very little cotton has been planted there.
 "The best thing to fight the weevil with" says the writer of the letter, Ifs bread and meat. Don't spend a dime trying to fight them, for 1t Is time and money thrown away. This country Is in the worst possible condition. Most of the best men are in debt, and the best man in the county could not get credit for a straw hat. thousands of acres are lying out, as good land as a~crow ever flew over. Show this let ter to your friends and try to induce them to make the change in time, for I know just what Is coming to them. We have piney woods on both sides of us and we can't make a pound of cot ton. Now, if you have a few this year, next year they will put you out of business"
 The farmsrs of Mississippi have be- come convinced such reports are true, and thousands of them are preparing for the visitation by going in for food and forage crops, live stock, etc. According to the Yazoo City papers John s. Williams Jr., has returned from the Texas A. and M college where he has recently graduated, and will devote himself to farming and stockraislng on his fathers plantation near Benton.
 Thus the son of the democratic mi nority leader and congressman from Mississippi so long as he wanted to be, sets a good example to the young
