The Beard of Equalization will meet on Monday, and those who think their assessment is not high enough, we are sure the beard will be glad to raise it.

Next Year’s L have new features and new stunts, with plenty of amusements. It is none too soon for the Fair Board to figure out how this can be brought about. DRINK ON INCREASE.
