Tolly, of Auderson. As ono of his admirers remarked yester day : "Well, you just cun't beat the old man." This remark, applied to the fact that Mr. Tolly has been elected mayor of Anderson eleven years, each time a term of two years, and about the only thing which will prevent him from filling the office eleven more terms will be that he don't Wast* the" office.

Possibly these p. ^dictions are inspired by the emissaries of the coal trust. At all events the predictions are similar to what was heard last year just about this season. Last year the prophets said that the fur bearing ani mals bad coats much thicker than usual and that therefore the winter Would be much colder than the average^ As a matter of record last winter was rather mild and open. Perhaps tho prophets, have redeemed their failure of last year by a successful prediction now. i Possibly if they keep on making these predictions long enough they will hit it right sometime. Property ownera are reminded that real estate is to be returned this year together with personal property. For some time past there has-been consid erable dissatisfaction and complaint among the land owners concerning the number of acres upon which they pay taxes. It is claimed by some that they have been paying taxes opon a greater number of acres than they really own. To avoid doing this for the next four years it is best to make out a complete memorandum of the actual number of acres and your other worldly posses sions before leaving home to meet the Auditor, so that there will be no mis take in the future. The Auditor has often been blamed by tho tax payers, who really have, no one to blame but themselves. At the last regular convention of Chiquola Lodge.
