that the county assessor Will increase

Mr.. Stewart, the county assessor,
We are told, spent hours in Averas-

It is the duty Of Mr.. Stewart and

the law and do what he has sworn

God seldom calls men suddenly into
great undertakings. He does call us
all constantly to the doing of small
things we'll. And some Of us are
holding back from these small things
while we wish and wait f or the large
things,-and SO we do neither much
nor little we'll. Old Samuel Johnson is
credited with saying, H WHO waits
to do a great deal of good at once, will
never do anytbing." But he who is
willing to do a very little good all the
time. win do a surprisingly great
amount of good in the world; and he
is needed and loved as no so-called
great" men ever will be. Why not
fill this best and greatest place today.
and every day?
