Derric There was considerable among tl members as to the value to be plact upon the lands in the various towi ships. The following is the valuatic per acre by townships as fixed by tl Board: 'No: I Tow nship ...........................5. "a .) .. " " 5... ..................... 4. " 10 "................ 4. "' 11 "................ 4. The following resolution was ah: adopted: Re.sotred. That the laud withini to miles of New berry Court House hea sessed at t$9 per acre and that the lat within one mile of Prosperity be a sessed at87 peraere, andl that the chai man of the Township Board of Asse so:s inform the Auditor who are ti owners of said lands. The Board decided to make change in the returns of personal pro erty. The valuation of p)ersonlal pro erty therefore stands just as left by t i Township Boards of Assessors. The valuation of real estate in ti towns of Newberry and Prosperity unchanged and stands just as giveni by the owners. It seems to us that the Board has y a very low valuation on the real esta in the various townships-a great de lower than any land could be puV chased in Newv berry County. At the rate per acre placed upon tl land in the county the assessment the real estate in the towns of Pi perity and New berry will be nearly quite as much as the valuation of .the other land ini the county.

Death reigns in all portions of ot time, in all places, under all circun stances. Go where you will and yo find it. Death is no respector of pe sons. It spares neither age, sex, position. The majestic road over whic monarchs pass, the way that the me of letters tread, the path of the warrio the short and simple ways of the poo all terminate in one enormous how which is appointed for all the livin; "It is appointed. unto men once to die. There is the end of this life. "And 1 died." Death is sad under all circumstance but it is peculiarly so when it appea so suddenly unannounced. This w the case last Sunday morning when was sadly whispered from ear to ea "Ir. Henry S. Boozer's wife is dead. The swift and unerring messengc came to the house of Capt. Henry Boozer without warning, "like a thi< at night," and at one fell stroke severe the tie that bound a devoted wife I her husband, and a kind and lovin mother to her children. The cold ic fingers of death had but simply touche Mrs. Mary J. Boozer when it was at nounced, "she is dead." How sa< Truly "in the midst of life we are i death." The particulars of this sad death, we got them from ('apt. Boozer hin self are about as follows: Capt. Booz< had prepared to attend services at h church. It not being quite time heg< his Quarterly and his Tfestamnent an b)egan to prepare the Sunday-scho< lesson in order to be prepared to proi erly instruct his class. Mrs. Booz< asked her daughter if she kne whether she (Mrs. Boozer) had rec the last Lutheran Xisitor. She receive a negative answer and proceeded: Capt. Boozer thinks to get the paper question, which was on a table vei .near to where Capt. Boozer was sittir studying. Capt. Boozer says the ne: ting that he knew of his wife she w: falling backwards with her han< thrown out. Before he could reach h she had fallen. the back of her het striking the floor with a tremendol crash. She never spoke. A physicih was at once summoned, in the met time Capt. Boozer and Miss Juliet d all in their power to restore her. I - Julian soon canme and did every thiu that medical skill could devise, but his efforts were futile. She seemed to suffer untold agoni -for an hour and a half, when her spii -took its flight to God who gave it. T true cause of Mirs. Boozer's fall w never be known. Capt. Boozer sa he does not know whether she stru the rocker of his chair with her fo -and fell, or whether there was sor Sother cause. He felt no jar if her fc Sdid strike the rocker. Dr. Julian sa Sthe fall caused contusion of the brai rwhieh produced dleath. Mrs. Booz rhad bee?i in bad health for some tirn Ibeing a.victim to Bright's disease, also to some heart affection. Be the things as they may, she is dead. Stheir three sons, nione were at hon Mr. V. Y. Boozer is a student at Ne berry College and reached home abo t p. mn. Sunday. Mr. Rufus D.
