Last week it was reported that
the measles was in our place; af
terwards it was announced scarlet
fever. In a day or so following, it
was called measles again. So
what the disease I cannot say, but
however, Dr. Mann of Elko was
called to see Mr. J. M. Bunn’s
little boy Saturday, who was
broke out, and he told your cor
respondent that Mr. Bunn’s boy
had the scarlet fever in a mild
form. Mr. S. P. Bivins informs
me that his little boy, Blake, has
measles, but has all symptoms of
scarlet fever. Mr. Bivins has
summoned a physician for his son,
who will be here today. Miss
Mattie Miller has suspended her
school on account of the measles,
or scarlet fever, and returned to
her home at Perry yesterday.

Houston County Taxes.
The total valuation of property
in Houston county as returned for
taxation this year is $2,773,020,
and the tax rate for county prop
erty i9 6.56. This rate will, give,
if all is collected, $18,191,01, not
including railroad taxes.
Last year the tax on railroad
property collected for county pur
poses amounted to $2,399.65.
Last year the county tax rate
was $5.80, and the total amount
of taxes called for was $17,912.98,
including railroad taxes. Of this
amount $17,000 27 was actually
collected for county purposes.
Though the increase in tax val
uation this year is over $150,000,
and there is no tax for road work
by chaingang,the tax rate is high
er.
This is due to the fact that the
county is in debt, having borrow
ed at least $10,000, more than is
legal. In order that this debt be
paid, there must be more money,
which could be secured only by an
increased tax rate.
