the recent ruling of the State Board OF
Assessors that land and buildings should
be separated in making the valuations

the state board, and the result has been
that several duplicates have been re-
turned with instructions that the ruling
must be obeyed. This will delay the
completion of the work of fixing the
tax rate.
Rev. Marshall Owens, p former pastor
of the Mount Holly M. E. church,
preached in the church Sunday morning,
taking for his subject the measures to be
adopted for the relief OF aged and infirm
Mr.. Owens presented the
matter in a forceful manner. He cited
the fact that all the prominent business ,
houses and organizations provide pen G
sion fund for their employees when the e
latter reach an age that compels them to e
relinquish work. He also referred to the a
fact that there is small chance for .
elergymen, on the small salaries paid
The maiorityof them, to save much for I

plea in behalf of the clergymen and G
that active steps be taken Q
towards securing subscriptions towards 7

pledged by the local church was $lO4 h,

acre it may be said that the railroad
company sends out weekly bulletins
items that are of interest tol
he corporation but when a real item :
S sought there is a singular reticence
lbout letting the public know what is u
,oing on. So far as we can learn when I"
he next change in the timetable occurs

or nearly all the trains and some of the u

The public school opened last week
with 1l25 children on the roll and
possibility of more coming. Some of
the rooms were overcrowded and it took
much of the time of the supervising !
principal to SO arrange the classes that
each room would not have more than
its usual quota. There has been some
criticism over the matter of supplying

faucets and drinking fountains in the
upper part of the school buildings were
