Danger In Delay. Some Needed Street Repairs wbicl Should Be Attended to at Once. It is the duty of a Newspaper to call attention through its col umns to any neglect of duty by public officials and it is always niore or less disagreeable. The Sylvan Valley News would niuch prefer to call public atten tion to services well performed than to criticise or to call atten tion to duty that is neglected. the present case we feel called '^pon to call the attention of those in power to the condition of our streets. Sev'eral times we have called attention to the lirge hole in Main street in front of Orr's liv- ^I’y stable. For niontlis this hole has been open and is a grave menace. There is another hole <>f the same kind w here Caldwell I Tax Paying. and Main streets cross. To show the danger in allowing such a condition to .exist we saw the wife of one of our prominent citi zens get a severe fall from her horse; in fact the horse fell with her and the cause was that the horse stepped in the hole last mentioned. Not only does such a condition of atfairs endanger the life and limbs of our citizens, but i I case of injury caused by such holes the town may have to pay a large sum by way of damages. The c/itizens of Brevard elected the town offtcers for the purpose of having their interests looked after and to have the streets kept in srood conditu>n. Owing, As w’ill be seen by referenence to a notice in another column, our efficient Town Marshal has given a satisfactory bond and qualified as Town Tax Collector. We have no doubt that he will be found i^just as prompt and ener getic in the discharge of this du ty as he has shown himself wher ever tried, and tax payers will tind it to their advantage to meet their assessments promptly. During the administration of the present board of Town offi cers the people have been able to see where their tax money has gone—improved streets, clean sidewalks and a general air of clenliness and thrift have beei; inaugurated—and it should be both a duty and pleasure to pay assessments cheerfully. Instead of looking on taxation as a bur den w’hich should be shifted as much as possible to other should- Mrs* Charles Lott has purchased the Entire Stock of Souvenir Goods from Elliot F.

The old log cabin of our ancestors is a I thing of the past; the meander ing road for an ox cart or sled, which was good enough for our grandfathers, has disappeared fi’om view and cai’riages have supplanted those primitive ve hicles; schools for all have taken the place of the governess and priv^ate teacher in the homes of only the wealthy, and taxation is ; absolutely necessary for the con- I tinued existence of these bet terments.

Commissioners Meeting. The monthly meeting of the Board of Commissioners was held last Monday and tlie follow-1 ing business was transacted: | The jury list was revised, which j has been needed for some time. Sheriff King tendered his boj#( and it was accepted by the Board: The tax list was then turned oler to him for collection. The cojn missioners ordered that yil <;ounty claims betaken up by the Sheritf including the juror ^k- ets of the last term of court. This is a line showing and goes to pi’ove that under deni,ocratic administration the tinVnces of the county are well looked af ter. The rate of taxation this year is lower than it has been for several years. When the> repub licans went out of power in 1898 the rate was on the $100 worth of property and now it has been reduced to ^1.10. IJuekleii’s Arnica Sa'lve.
