A Queer Sight at Panama

The people who live on the
Isthmus of Panama are the only
people on the two Ameican CONT
nents who can see the sun rise in
the Pacific Ocean and set in the
Atlantic. That you see complete
ly reverses the order of things,
for the Pacific is west and the
Atlantic east and it seem sstrange
to us that the sun should rise
where we think it is setting.
But if you will look at good
map you will see that the Isthmis
curves in such a way that the
water of Panama bay, which is a
part of the Pacific, are east and
the caribbean Sea, which is a
part of the Atlantic, is west.
This is true however, only when
the sun is at it's greatest south.

When the people make mis-
take in the selection of county
officers, no matter how pure their
motives, the whole citizenship of
the county must suffer the con-
sequences. Electing men through
sympathy and because they need
the office, or because they are
good fellows, is alright if they
are qualified to fill the place, but
the hard luck story and the good
fellow plea have been overwork-
ed in Morgan county and the peo.
pie are getting tired
Take the assessor for instance.
1t is said that the county loses
thousands of dollars a year in
taxes because the assessor has
done his work improperly. 1t has
been the custom in Morgan coun-
ty to elect just anybody to that
office, but the people are getting
to believe that he should have
some qualifications besides being
a cripple, a pauper or a good fell
low, or the son of a good fellow,
and it is about time to be getting
theireyes open, They have about
come to the conclusion that an
assessor ought to be a business
man with an education, and that
is right. A man to be a good as
SCISSOR ought to be a Judge of land
and personal property, and he
ought not to be afraid to use his
judgement when it becomes nee,
essary, as it sometimes does.
