Ahridqeu Bible

An abridged Bible is being adyo-
cated-one that will contain only the
vital parts of the great book, and
that omits hundreds of pages OF mat
ter now not read at all except by stu
dents. No doubt such Bible would
become instantly popular. because It
would all be interesting and to the
point. In this age, none except stu
dents will wade through very long
books. Everybody wants the truth
boiled down to the very shortest
space. The great story OF the cruel.
hxion is told in very few words, and
all the essentials OF the Bible for
the average person could easily be
covered in one fifth the pages required
for the whole work--Gallipolls Tri.

REASON FOR RAISE OF SUSSEX TAXES

The action taken by the Sussex
County Levy Court in raising the rate
of taxation ten cents on the 500 over
that of preceding years is said to be the
direct result of the passage of the
measures at this session of the Legis-
ture for the bonding of the county in
the sum of about 500, 600 for improve
ments of the public buildings, etc. The
county body after weighing the matter
carefully, found it expedient that the
tax rate should be raised in order to
keep the county being plunged into a
big Indebtedness, as was shown by the
vote of the members faYOring the in
crease. The vote stood nine to one in
favorable of the increase. A tax of
twenty cents on the 500 is now levied
in all of the districts for general road
purposes and this added to the new rate
for general purposes will make the as
sessment eighty cents on the hundred
instead of seventy as heretofore.
There is a demand at this time in all
parts of the county for Improvements
to be made to the highways, but the
county Levy Court men find that their
hands are practically tied when it came
to make appropriations for such needed
improvements because of the fact of
the tax rate is not sufficiently high to
derive enough revenue to carry on the
work. As a consequence, the only i'm
that are made are obtained
from the amount struck for the special
road purposes and these amounts in
each of the district are not One-fOurth
of what they should be.
