TAX ASSESSORS CONVENTION

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
We met in Jacksonville with a good
attendance of tax assessors and some
county commissioners and legislators.
The, tax commission was tied up with
the courts, and could not meet with
US.
You hear no long-winded speeches
at this convention. When man gets
up he has something to say, and
knows what ne is talking about,
says it in few words and takes his
seat, therefore the routine business
was disposed OF rapidly until we came
to fixing the schedule of assessments
for 1918. We had no assurance that
counties, not represented, would come
up to any schedule we might agree on,
and it's every assessors duty to see
that his county pays no more than its
just proportion of the state tax. We
wired Governor Cats the insurmount-
able snag that we were up against and
urged him to come Immediately. He
was with us the next morning and
made a good, sound, sensible speech.
He said that fifty per cent assess
ment for 1918 would be acceptable to
him and assured us that if any asses
sor or county commissioner refused or
failed to come uD to it. that he would
remove him and appoint man who
would. so the 1913 assessment will be
the same as in 1917, except on stock
cattle. and they have been raised from
six to eight dollars per head.

GOT HIS GOAT MAD

The superstition that all fat men are
jolly and never lose their temper or
peace of mnd. is according to Charlie
Gano, a mistake. Gano is the feature
comedian and assistant manager of J.
A. Coburn's Greater Minstrels, and
nothing pleases him more than get
ting something on "Cobe" to jar him
of his placidity. While making a pa
rade the south this past season Gano
claims to have heard the following
conversation between two darkeys.
Gano and Coburn always lead the
street parade, walking opposite each
other. Look yer, boy, whuffo make
dat big fat man walk SO far ahead OBJ
his little man over heah, huh?"
"Pshaw, niger, he amt walkin' ahead.
he jes' stickin' out a little furder,

to get Sobe's goat when he tells it,
as Charlie is no featherweight him.

Maria, Tex, Dec. 26.--American
troops today are guarding all outlets
to Van Horne canyon. where 100 Mex
lean bandits on Christmas morning
crossed the American border, raided
the postoffice and general store on
the Brite ranch, % miles southeast Of
here, killed Michael WEIGH, veteran
stage driver, and his two Mexican pas
sengers, wounded Sam Neil, foreman
of the Brite ranch. and carried away
booty estimated to be worth $1,000.
After the bandits disappeared over
the rim rock which rises abruptly
more than 1000 feet above the Rio
Grande, the soldiers, who were in
close pursuit, fired many rounds at
them and are reported to have killed
and wounded many of the Mexicans.
The shooting compelled the bandits
to abandon the horses, in which they
carried away the loot. Colonel George
t. Langhorne, in command of the
American forces in the Big Bend, ex-
pected the pursuit to be resumed at
daybreak.

Christmas Day passed very quietly
and delightfully."- in Ocala. The wealth
er was ideally lovely and a nicer
Christmas could not have been wished
for. There were no particular fea-
lures for the day except the horse rae
ing in the afternoon at the fair
grounds, but our people spent the day
quietly at home with their families,
enjoying the delights of the day with
their children, celebrating with Christ
mas trees (where there are children
in the familes) and enjoying Christ
mas dinners and the other things that
always make the Christmas day so
gladstone.
While in many homes there were
vacancies, caused by the absence OF
many young men who are away serv-
ing their country in the hour of her
greatest need in various departments
of the service, these absent ones were
not forgotten, and they came in for a
large share of the thoughts of the
home folks throughout the day, and
quite few families were made glad
by having their soldier boys at home
for Christmas.
On Christmas eve, beginning at
1880 o'clock, very beautiful Christ
mas service was held at Grace Episco-
pal church. The church was very
beautifully decorated and lighted with
candles, and before the beginning Of
the communion service the large vestl
ed choir rendered number of beautil
full Christmas anthems. The choir had
number of additional singers for
this service and the music was very
lovely. Mr.. Frank Gates also render
ed a pretty solo. "Holy Night After

This service was largely attended
and was one of the prettiest services
ever held in Grace church.
On Christmas morning there was a
communion service in Grace church,
and Christmas services were also held
in st. Phillips Catholic church.
