The returns of three townships,

Mr.. Isaac Marker, the deputy as
SCISSOR in that township, did the work
Of appraising both real and personal
property in 20 days at cost Of $50.
This same work cost in 1910, when
the real estate was appraised, STA, a
saving Of $94.
The increase in Morgan was $26,315
of which 21,000 was in money alone.
Mr.. Edward Hays, the deputy asses
sor in Morgan, also completed his
work in 20 days at a cost of $50, the
same work in 1910, costing 5000, thus
making a savings of $12S.
Mr.. VIM. B. Shrontz, deupty asses

sheep in Clay township are valued at
$3.50 less than last year, when the
county board of equalization added 20
per cent to horses and 10 per cent to
sheep. This is feature that was the
cause of much inequality in values
that has been eliminated under the

TWENTY-FIVE fine Buff Orphington

made clean getaway and the affair
was turned over to the police immedi-
ately after the discovery of the loss.
The chickens were ali safely in the
Building Wednesday evening at the
time for them to go to roost. The
doors were left unlocked but we're

Thursday morning the hens were
found to be missing and 40 clue could

clue to the identity of the thieves or
as to the method they employed in
taking away the stolen chickens.

afternoon by L. Jay Duke, deputy in

The license was refused for the
reasons that the applicants were not

particularly for the reason that the

he claimed that this was his age.
When the license was refused Mr.
Bullock stated that he was informed
by Newark friends that he could Sc

affair of the kind ever held in Mt.
Vernon, was given in the Pytbian
Armory Wednesday evening by the
members of Battery D, field artillery
which is located in Mt. Vernon. AL
though the weather was very unfav-

was too strong in the minds of mem

and large crowd was present. Over
thirty-five couples were present
throughout the dance program, music
for which was rendered by the Brick

The artiIlerymen were RECALLED in
