REGARDING SUPERVISORS

A Connie L ..r u:hortO .Miihn it Hard to Di'lrrniinn the I.:iv. Tax-Payers Should Uave the Opportunity t Wi.ik OutTh-ir KOii l I'ax At the off c. of Auditor "f tate Daily there has been som: doubt as to the cons'. Miction of the law regulating the duties ul . oad suk rvisors and the time that taxes may be worked out under sec. 6,834 of the revised statutes of 1894, says the Sentinel. The auditor asked the attorney-general tor an opinion as to the duties of road supervisors in the levying of road tax and of the county auditor in delivering to township trnstccs a list of all road taxes assessed against individual property owners; also whether the date, July 15, is mandatory or directory, and if directory, whether the auditor can perform his duties in the matter after July 15th and during the September session of the board of county commissioners; also if the tax can be worked out at any time before the third Monday of the following April. In his reply sent to the auditor of state yesterday Attorney-Gen eral Ketcham holds that there is some conflict of authority and he had considerable trouble in determining the law. He holds, however, that the duties of the auditor as to time, are only directory, that as taxes can be assessed as late as September the auditor can certify at that time, and continuing says: "For the purpose of working the law should be construed to mean the year following the delivery of the list of road taxes, otherwise the taxpayer would have to do work between September and October 15. It is clear that it is the purpose of the act that the taxpayer shall have the opportunity to work out his taxes. Any other construction would amount to a denial of the right to work out the road tax." The Big Bloomingtoa Fair s now a guaranteed success. Don't forget the dates September 24 to 28. You can't aff rd to mis- it. Don't forget the Big Bloomingtan Fair, September 24 to 28. The exhibts in all departments are now guaranteed to be the largest ever male in the history of the county. Prof. Long and son 12 years of age, the great expert rifle shot will be on the groi nds each day and will give free exhibitions. The bo shooting the apple from his own head with a Winchester rifle; the greatest feat ever accomplished by Prof. Long and his son. The most thrilling feat of marksmanship ever given on the continent. Well worth the price of admission to the fair. A watermelon recipe: Split the ripe melon into halves, scoop out center, ejecting seeds. Put this in a bowl and with a knife or spoon chop the melon into small pieces, add juice of one lemon and half lb. of powdered sugarThrow this in a freezer, pack as usual, and turn very slowly for 10 or 15 minutes, until the mixture is like soft snow. Serve in glasses. You will require two melons. If you use wine at serving time put one teaspoonf ul of sherry in each glass. VX3l!T'-& S.K JS

How it Is Done. It takes eighty men and wo-ncn o make a postage stamp. First the white paper is cut in sheets,, each large enough for a hundred stamps'. The stamps on each sheet are counted twenty six times to make sure they are correct. The printer counts and passes the sheets to the gummer; the gummer gums the back, and having counted, gives them to the perforator, who divides the stamps by rows of litt'e holes, not forgetting to count. The Omaha (Neb.) North West says: ''The Knoxville College Glee Uiub gave a line concert Monday; evening in the Y. M. G. A. hall, the proceeds to be devoted othemi sionary work of the United Presbyterian Church among the Freedmen.
