FEW DIAMONDS THERE.

Crystal Springs, Miss, Sept IA
There are only four diamonds in
Crystal Springs, according to the find.
ings of the town tax assessor, and
they are stones of very modest size
and value.
Probably there are other diamonds
in Crystal Springs. but the assessor
was unable to find them. and their
owners were too timid to admit own
ership of the sparklers.
The great scarcity of hard ice"
was discussed at the monthly meet
ing of the board of aldermen, having
been brought up by A. L. Hutchinson
who wanted to know about the sew
eral thousand dollars worth of dia-
monds which, according to his belief,
have escaped taxation. The assessor
said that he didn't intend to do any
thing about it; that he has no author.
lily to force an assessment from an un.
willing and tax-dodging citizen.
