It was to be a splendid affair, taking 1 place in a large, fashionable church. 1 Lucie Delmore was one of the eight pretty bridesmaids who were to form part of the brilliant wedding party.
 It was ten minutes past the hour set for the wedding when word went around that the bride was coming. The organ was playing softly, the guests settled themselves in their seats and prepared to look at the mOst-talked- about marriage of the season.
 Eleanor had rehearsed them all the night before. The colonel and his best man would wait at the altar, the bridesmaids would go forward on the arms of various ushers and they would form a lane through which Eleanor and her father would pass to meet the bridegroom. The cOlOnePs first mar riage had been a military wedding, but this was to be without martial trap pings.
 I.ucie Delmore waited pensively as the procession formed; then il was q shock to discover that she must walk up the aisle escorted by Paul Dare. After that her thoughts were chaotic. The slow. beautiful music. the sof, rustic of satin frocks, the scent of vel low rOseS-then a sudden, frightened Knowledge that something had gonc Mrong.

that value has not changed much for

II read in the daily paper that our
farms are becoming abandoned at a

of tillage is becoming materially less.

Next in importance to taxation of
intangible property is the program of

correcting of the method of assessing
property in the several cities and
towns by local assessors, by looking
toward a pan by which all property
shall be taxed on the basis of its fair
market value instead of the crratic
and unsystematic method now in
vogue.
Il believe that if uniform stan

created by law, so clear and I'M
equivocal. that the meaning could not
be misunderstood and a sincere and
honest effort made by our local as

inequality and injustice in the levy
