We noticed in the Ansonian
that-tfietax listers'of Anson coun
ty got together and agreed upon a
basis of valuation for the property
of the county. The best grade of
mules and horses was fixed at
$250, catle $50, corn 80c bushel,
wheat $1.00 per bushel and other
things in proportion. If property
were valued at that rate in this
county the rate .of the tax levy
could be greatly reduced and
enough and more money would be
A raised than at the present rate.
We think the idea of arranging
for a uniform Basis of valuation
is a good one. The property in
many townships of Iredell co
is not valued at much more than
one half of the valuation of other
townships. A uniform valuation
should be given for the property
throughout the county;

The devotion of the old Con
federate soldier to the Lost Cause
is something sublime! As the time
since thaterrTble struggle length
ens, the chord that binds his hear
to the cause and to his fellow com
rades grows stronger. No mat
ter what the difference in politics
or religion or in the vocation of
life the old soldiers have a tender
affection for each other. Year by
year their numbers grow less and
year by year their devotion
grows stronger. Every year they
love to gather at their annual
reunions and discuss those stirring
times. Those brave hearts that
once knew no fear are now row
ing old and feeble. May the God
of battles grant them many more
happy reunions and as one toy one
they pass over the river may they
meet in thegreat reunion beyond
and may the land they, fought to
protect blossom as the rose and
their value and devotion be trans
mitted to succeeding generations.
