Unjust Tax Returns.
The tax books of the county' are
regarded by many as an index to a
country’s properity. If the valua
tion of property appears to be up
held it is shown that the people are
honest and progressive, hut if valu
able property is given in below its
true worth it is thought that the
boom of the community is in a sha
ky condition. We learn that a
great deal of improved land in Cof
fee county is given in as low as 25
cts. per acre, and any one who
knows the value of property in
this county is at once convinced
that this is wrong—unjust. These
defects in tlhis direction, however,
will never be remedied until a
Board of Assessors is appointed
whose duty it will he, as it is with
the municipal board ot Douglas,- to
see that every person gives a fair
and just return of their taxable
property.
Confirm Action of Primary.
Next week tlie action of the late
primary held in this county must
he confirmed, there’s no such thing
as rejection, and it is hoped a full
vote will be polled. It is often the
case where primaries are held that
dissatisfaction follows the result
and only a light vote is polled, but
it amounts to the same, the action
of the people at the primary is con
firmed, and so, as great interest
was shown in the primary let that
same interest be shown in the gen
eral election. There are some on
the ticket that we did not vote for
in the primary, and whose election
is against our interests, still, as a
result of a primary which we
promised to abide by, w'e shall
vote the straight ticket, and when
we have done so will have don® no
more than our duty.
Money In It.

A Black and Whita B--y.
Billy watched nmmma writing 0
letter to father, who was far away,
ami he thought he would like to
write one too. But mamma said.
“No; you might spill the ink.”
Billy did not think he would, But
he. waited until mamma had left the
room, ami then he climbed upon the
chair, and there in front of him on
the desk w r ere the pretty.ink bottle
and a pen.
“1 cart write, too!” cried Billy,
and reached across to seize the pen,
when the sudden movement upset
the (flair under his feet, and down
went Billy, ink and all.
When mamma came in to see
what caused the crash she found a
funny little boy with big blotches of
ink all over his face, and I am afraid
mamma was pretty angry at seeing
her carpet all spoiled, so Billy did
not appear at the supper table that
night.
Chickens Reared by a Cat.
A remarkable freak of nature is
reported from Wadebridge, in Corn
wall, where a cat is successfully
bringing up a brood of chickens.
The cat and chickens are the prop
erty of a Mrs. Williams of Trenant.
It appears that the cat recently
had kittens, and in due course the
latter were drowned*. The cat while
looking for her offspring found an
old hen with a brood of chickens
only recently hatched and decided
to take charge of the chickens and
bring them tip as her own family.
The cat at present carefully nurses
the chickens by the fireside and car
ries them about in her mouth just
as she would her own kittens. —

Tho Flycatcher.
There is a bird that catches files,
did you know that? When ho is
hungry lie keeps very quiet in some
favored spot, and his quick eye notes
the track of the insect for a moment
or two. If that one does not suit;
his fancy he wails for another, but 1
at last, when one appears that is
sufficiently palatable, ilic voracious
little bird gives a shrill cry, pur
sues it with remarkable swiftness,,
and after swallowing his prov with
a gulp he returns to watch for more.
