Being a city tax assessor is about as hard and thankless a job as any man ever undertook w hen he is dispos ed to discharge his duty to the city lot the chips fall where they may. The assessors spent thirty hours last week placing values upon the taxable property of Winder. No tices were given to all who were raised.

When it was learned that the assessors had done a reasonably good job in equalizing values and that the city was either to increase the rate or valuations in order to pay off thirteen thousand dollars Moat ing indebtedness, and meet the in creased teachers salaries and city expenses generally, the criticisms practically all ceased. When the day selected to hear complaints arrived, less than Mfty out of some six or seven hundred tax payers, appeared Wednesday be fore the assessors to ask for re do ction.

A VISIT TO “THE HERMI TAGE" THE HOME OF “OLD HICKORY.’’ By Rev. R. E. Moss. A visit to “The Hermitage," the classic home of President An drew Jackson, is always worth while. A jobless, dustless, drive over a smooth shady road for twelve miles out of Nashville, Teim., brings one to the large open gate through which the visi tor enters into the unique drive way. an avenue of tall cedars, leading to the well-kept grass lawn immediately in front of the house. Classic grecian columns support the high roof of the spac ious porch of the colonal mansion. The hack porch is quite similar, and is as classic and majeetie as the front. Enter the hospitable door and the eye is at once struck with the artistic stairway and the novel wall paper on each side of the large hall. hTe stairway is as airy as a dream. The wall paper has been well preserved for years, as it was imported from Paris, France in the year of 1835. It pic tures the story and experiences of Ulysses, the celebrated hero of the Trojan war, and especially that episode of Bis captivity on Coly pso’s island, where he was enter tained for months hv that beauti ful siren, daughter of Atlas, while his faithful princess, Penelope awaited at home his long return. A visit to the parlor, a glance at the old time small piano and pictures, a peep into the library at the old-fashioned hook eases and centre table, a glimpse at the old four-poster beds with elegant canopies, a walk through the din ing room, a lingering look at cur ious and papers and manuscripts of the great man who lived and still seemed t<> live there, a trip to the carriage house and a natur al wish to sit in the old almost worn-out carriage that took its master over roads and highways in the long-ago, thirties from Nashville to Washington, a re freshing drink from the cool bub bling spring just as it was in his lifetime, a walk through the large flower garden to his simple domed tomb, these are some of the exper. ienees not soon forgotten by the visitor. The grounds, the gardens, the tomb, the woodland, the classic mansion, are all kept by the ladies of the Hermitage Association, a noble hand of women. READ IF INTERESTED IN A.
