Assessor Davis Turns 1905-RolI Over to Clerk. County Assessor Thomas Davis has juBt turned over to Clerk-Moses the assessment roll for . Benton county fir 1905. It will remain in the hands of the clerk umil the October term- of court when the county commissioners will pass upon it. To many this is a matter of great importance and interest. For instance, according to Assessor Davi, tbe total value ot all property in the county is $4,970,800. He finds ex emptions in the sum of $227,815." This leaves property subject to taxation with in the county in tbe sum. of $4,742,985. This is a slight raise over assessments of former years and it is better so. It s the pari of wisdom to have property assessed at something near its real value. It only takes so much money for the regular yearly expenses of the cou ty and if the valuation is planed about where it belongs the rate of taxation is cut down. In other words, if property is assessed at only one-third thereat' value the tax levy to meet the annual expense of the county must be raised to three timeB the figure it would appear to be if assessed at real yalue. . The same sum 'has to be raised on the property within the county no matter what the valuation is placed at in making the assessment. I: the valuation is high the tax rate is low, and this is far better as it does not strike terror to the hearts of home seekers who chance along and get the wrong impression regarding the matter. Many other assessors within the state are doing as Mr-. Davis has done in rais ing the valuation. We submit the fol lowing table on couuty property and values and suggest that our readers cut it out and paste it in some conspicuous place: Assessable Property. Value.

Butolph, r occurred at their home one mile or so west of this city, Friday. Sunday morn ing at ten o'clock the remains were laid to rest in Odd Fellows cemetery, Rev. Noble conducting the services. Mrs. Butolph was born in 1877 and was the motner or tnree young children, who,' with their father, survive her. They came to Benton county from tbe East about a year ago. ine iamuy naa oeen making their home on one of M. S. Woodcock's places since their ar rival and on the occcasion of the burning of a barn on the ' place a short time back, Mrs. Butolph was so shocked that she suffered severe nervous prostration until her death. She was a delicate woman anyway. Much sympathy is felt for the father and motherless children. The Booneville (Ark.) Demo crat or August 31st contains a notice of the death of Edward W. Yates, a nephew of Joseph Yates, of this city. The deceas ed gentleman was evidently a man among men and on account of the prominence oi the family in this community we reprint the following: , Sunday morning, August 27, at 10 minutes past 11 o'clock, the spirit of Edward Washburne Yates, left its mortal tenement and returned to the spirit land from whence it came. One of the saddest duties that has ever fallen to our lot as a newspaper man is to announce the death and attempt to pay a last tribute to the worth of a :well beloved friend: ' We have known Mr. Yates for 20 years and have always loved and admired nun lor nis many noble traits, of character. In his private life he was clean and true in every sense of the words. In public affairs he was energetic and far seeing, ever ready to lend his voice, his influence and his means fer anything wmch had for its object the moral, intellect ual or material upbuilding of the community in. which he lived. Iu the church he was an earnest and consecrated worker. He loved children and to train them was his delight, hence he was active in the work of the Sun day School, His last public work was to arrange for Sunday School Convention for the South ern District to convene today and of which he was president In the death of Mr. Yates the town and community have lost an active and useful citizen, the lodges to which he belonged a faithful member, the church a consecrated and earnest christian and his family a devoted husband and Jfather. .
