About two weeks ago he took

Taxes Raised.
The City Tax Assessors had
quite a little meeting at the court
house Tuesday when they met to
give the tax payers a chance to
show cause why their taxes
should not be raised.
Yon just don’t have any idea
how little some of these Cairo
people think of their homes until
you go to one of these meetings
and hear them tell the assessors
how their homes are run down
and how inconvenient their homes
are located and how sorry some
of them are finished up on the in
side and various other things.
It certainly would sound bad to
an ‘‘outsider” to hear these com
plaints, he would think that Cairo
didn’t have a good place to live
in it.

Abe Poller were blessed by the
