AaansTpEasoual PROPERTY TAX


A bill has been introduced in
the present legislature known
as House Fill No. go, a con-
current resolution amending
the constitution of the state re-.
lating to the taxation Of farm
property. The amendment
reads as follow:
All improvements on land
shall be assessed in accordance
with section l70, but plo wing
shall not be considered as inn
provement or added to the.
value of the land for the pur-.
pose of assessment. Provided.
however, that all farm build
ings situated upon farm lands
actually occupied by the owner
thereof. shall be exempt from
taxation, and no assessment
shall be made thereon.
That this proposed measure
contains much merit is very
apparent considering the gross
injustice of our present system
of taxation. which not only
puts a burden on the thrifty
and public apirited, bnt puts a
premium on the unscrupulous,
and the rnajor harden 0f taxa-

surrounding the disappearance six
years ago of Gentleman Jack" How

It was an epitaph sealed by pitch

meath which a grave had been dug
Here 1t is
"Old Pard, 1t matters not in the
eyes of the Creator whether you are

Dear Journal. T reached my new appointment at Wilson on Saturday night before Christmas, and found the pastor of the pre-
 ceding year still here. Sunday he gave me a very cordial introduc- tion to about twenty children and about four grown people who had gathered for Sunday school. After a short lesson most of them dis. banded and their places were fill ed by about twenty others. 1 preached as best as 1 could, being very hoarse from cold. At the evening service several more came to hear the new pastor. The next day was real cold and snowy, but I went out and met quite a num- Der of the people. The next day left for Fulton, Ky, to see my wife and daughter, spending the holidays with them, and returned to Wilson in time for services the
 first Sunday in January. But on my arrival 1 found the town quar
 antined on account of meningitis and it took some little persuasion to get the guards to let me off the train. All public services were pro- hibited so we had no services un- till the second Sunday in January. But on that day at the ringing of
