a Drakctown Nows. Mr. Editor:— Here we come “a galloping in" again with our news. Cotton chopping is getting to be the order of the day now.

Mr. J. Y. Stephens roturned from a business tour to Atlanta the 19th inst. The Harmony Grovo School closed its spring term the 19, inst It closed with a nice entertain ment. 1 he Exercises were opened at d:30 p. m., with an educational address by C. M. Hildebrand. Next, the little folks, about 30, re cited some interesting pieces, etc About “a h;df hour by sun,” the school marched. At 7:30, Mr. It. D. Lathram gave an interesting lecture on education. Then quite a number of recitations nnd decla mations by the young ladies and young gentlemen, after which 7 dialogues and u few comic pieces closed the exercise--. M's- Etta Hutcheson, Mrs. Della Strickland and Mr. William McBrayer made music for the occasion. ' Messrs. John Allgood,Gi iffiu and McPher son, of Temple, and J. W.

Dick Bustltb. eeive $10,000 for his work. Mak ing a reasonable estimate of t' e cost of making the Btatue it repre. sents at least $50,000, aside from its value as a work of art. In brief, the statue is that of a woman after the severely Greek style of sculpture. She wears a single garment which loaves arms, neck and upper bust bare,and falls just below the knee. A girdle about the waist loosely confines the drapery. On her head is a diadem In her left hand, which is raised alxjve her head,she holds the scales, in which gold and silver balance each other, thus symbolizing Mon tana's stand on the silver question In her right hand, which falls at her side, is a drawn sword. Sho stands on a globe two feet in di ameter, which is supposed to bo floating in the clouds. Hut it is not because of its s ze or because of its value in dollars and cents, or even liecause of its artistic merit, that this statue in tho Montana building will attract such attention, ft is because of two other reasons. It is tho figure of tho perfect wo' n a i from tlio physical standpoint. It is the figure of a woman known all over tho English-speaking world— Mi.-s Ada Uehan.—Calar town Simulat'd. La Grippe.

Monkeying With Taxation- When tho “Greatest Show on Earth” wqsin winter quarters at Bridgeport,a few years ago, a num ber of monkeys were confined to a large circular cage in the center of one of the animal houses. To pre- v:nl constant fighting between the quarrelsome family, the cage was divided by wire partitions into some twenty small compartments When tho daily rations were dis tributed it was noticed that instead of euting bis own portion eacli mor.key would thrust his hand through the wire and filch as much us he could reach from his neigh bor’s dish. The result was a great deal biting and scratching; consid erable food was scattered and was ted; and since, while one monkey was stealing, another was robbing him, the result of their dishonesty was a loss all around, believers in Darwinian theory pletely cured him.

Montana’s Unique and Costly Worjd’8 Fair Exhibit, What singfla thing 011 exhibition at the World’s^Columbian exposi tion of 1893 wiAnttract most at tention and cause most comment? In all probability it will be a statue in the Montana state build ing. Why? There are several rea sons. In the first place, it will be the largest statue of its kind ever made, in that it will be eight feet high, including the pedestal, and of solid silver. Though there are stories of ancient statues of fabu lous size and value, sculptors agree that in all probability no soiid sil ver statue larger than four feet in height was ever made. The statue will also attract at ■ tention because of its great value. The intrinsic worth of the silver is $Ij5,0G0, mu! the scalgtor ia u> re- ahly find confirmation of their vi ws in the recommendations favor of a stringent “listing law” for collecting taxes on personal property under oath. The notion that the general wealth of this state can be increased by setting a greater number of assessors to work with a system of spies and penal ties for failure to make returns of property to tax everybody on their intangible property, is worthy of our Simian kindred. Suppose that the '’listing law”is passe I. While the farmer, whom it advocates, and pre tends to be anxious to benefit,was getting a little more taxes from the merchant or the capitalist who is so wicked as to save money and loan it out mortgages, the latter would shift the tax by charging a slightly higher price for their goods, 01 higher interest on the mortgage And the greatly increased cost of arsessing and collecting taxes would probably soon convince eve ryone that syste ns of taxation founded 01. a supposed antagonism of interest between real ost ite ; n] petsonal property owners vtI t -\as efu 1 wad.Injurious.—X.
