Yesterday afternoon a marriage li
cense was issued to Gilbert T. "Wil

mistake the name was misunderstood
and now the man is in a bad way, for
he does not know whether or not he

The matter was referred to the
county clerk, and he thought that It
could be fixed so that the lady would

that he thought he was. 'Williams is
now satisfied that he Is himself, and
that his bride is Mrs. Williams, and
not Mrs. Thomas.

Therefore, on the coming year the
school tax collected will amount to
double the usual amount, or at least
$12 for each child between the ages
of 4 and 20 years In the county. As
there are C.000 children In the county
the taxes will be $72,000 without a
special levy of any kind,
i But there is another thing that has
' been overlooked by many of the dis
'. tricts, and that is the increased as
I sessmont of the property of the coun
I ty. The values of the land have been
' placed higher this year than last, and
' the same rate that was assessed last
year will bring almost double the
amount it would at that time. Some
of the communities have overlooked
that fact, and have levied their as
sessment on the same rate. At Helix
, the district has asked for 10 mills.

Viewing the double tax from a local
standpoint, it would seem therefore,
a good time to consolidate with the
outlying districts, and with the unex

get a start for the years to come, for
by the employment of a very much
