Tho Walhalla Courier estimates that the various taxes to bo imposed upon tho poor tax payer this year State, county and sohool taxes-will foot up over two million dollars, and thinks this enormous tax should be a living issuo in tho coming campaign.

Tho period of prosperity through which our country is passing presents problems that tall for thought nnd solutions. Two thousand capitalists own more than all tho rest of tho tdxty-fivo millions of our population. Two hundred and fifty thousand rich men control 71) por cont, of flic na tional wealth. Thc Amorican Repub lic is therefore practically owned by less than one quarter of a million of persons, If present causes which pro duce concentration of capital continue, the Republic will soon bo owned by less than filty thousand men. This rapid concentration of wealth in a tow hands gives to trusts and monopolies the power to control tho government and tax tho people indirectly for their support. If it bo truo that tho rich nro growing richor and tho poor poor er, it will requite the wisdom of truo 8tntosmon to prevent the clashing of interests and collision of clftssPr -A. li. Presbyterian, Dot? from Kv.a Hil!. Mn. Kurru u ;-Please allow 113 a littleB ppueo in your most val nublo paper. Wc have had another heavy rain accompanied by some freezing weather. Your reporter was talking to that big-hearted neighbor of our Mr. J. II. Tilomas. Ho told us tlmt ho had | ohargo of tbe KOHIO at ll un t'a Bluf! Friday, and only oaught one hundred and thirteen. Ood bless you, Mr. T., wo aro very fond of plied. Wo aro sorry lo report that Mr. Jumes 10. Cox is vory ill with a rising in his head. Mr. G. li. W. Dunn otu] family are all sick with tho grip. The next time that wo seo Mr. H. G. P. wo will inform him that five drakes wero scon last Sunday night week. So tho next time ho goes hunt ing bo had better carry "buckshot" in tho place of "snow balls," as ho will find them much harder to kill than "ducks." Some of our ronds nrc in a fearful condition. Tho boya say that it is the "cow track." Your reporter heard that Ibero is a young man in our community that has made live hundred dollars and a horse and buggy this year by courting. It must pity; wish I was single again. Can you tell us, through your pa per, why it is that some people go to I God's nouso to misbehave ? Also, why the back scuta in our churches arc so popular? What a happy world this would bo j if every man would attend to his own ! business and let his neighbor's u.one. Some people wear two faces, And that is very Unfair, For when you look for a man You expect lo lind bim there. Don't always bc finding fault And talking about your brother, For if you talk about one mau You'll talk about another. Oh, no, don't never shake his hand, Wearing that tnlse face, And then go off and band him around, Saying be is not lit lor the place. If there is a man You think hasn't done you right, Don't sneak around And try to stab a harmless man lor spite. Some people love to tell you news. They think it very kind To tell you something they think Will always please your mind. Hut if they knew What other lolks were thinking, Perhaps they would see what lools they were For trying to bc kind. Wc cannot blame some people though, They cannot help but tattle, For long ago I heard it said An empty cart would rattle. M it I i'll CO, tSijO. ill'! F.

A goodly number of us have golton to be reporters. Well, our talents run in thut linc. Some of us are a lit tle moro lamed than others, but "Guess Who" will follow and correct all mistnkes. *It is human ta err, but folly to bo wise Wo all want a free lido on the iron horse to Fayetteville. Wc believe in working our way, and if wc can't work out a first elliss ride wo will go on the cow catcher. ''Guess Who" lins appointed ono ol' our beat boys a "Masher." My ex perience with him is that ho is poor ou a "mush," but death on a "squeeze." Our Social Circle meets Wednesday nihill. What a tinto wo will have. Then come April. Tho fools arc writing thc fools ns hard ns wo can. When this beat gets through with ail these frolics you will be glad to pay us off for a while. The weather has (rumped us. Wo have been rending upon tho weather signs, Hersehils, Hicks, tfco.. nod all have railed and vegetables killed. I think tinelo Jool could bo OJ moro service to his community and ours if lie would quit cutling stovo wood and devote more of his attention to his woather signs. I am told that ho has a pet sign by which ho is entirely gov erned as to rain which never fails, Ho has two weights suspended by a cord and he cnn tell very accurately whoo it is going to rain Will Uncle Joel tell ns all about some of his signs., es pecially this one?
