COUNTY VALUATION
The grand aggregate assessesed
valuation ol all the property ip Ilolt
county not including railroads and
others corporate property, as returned
by the assessors, is *2,480,448. The
assessment is made on a one-fith
valuation. The railroad and other
corporate property is estimated at
*2,000,000, which will bring the total
assessed valuation of all property in
the county close to five and a half
millions. Under the operations of the •
new revenue law there is a great in
crease in personal valuation due large
ly to the assessment of property that
had never beford been listed. The
returns show that the personal pro- 1
perty exceeds the real estate in the
towns by nearly *40,000. The following
table shows the assessment by pre
cincts, with comparisons for the years
1903 and 1904:

delivering a graduating address was

tian Gentleman,” this extract of
which we And in an Omaha paper:
“Education of itself will not produce
the gentleman as I understand the
word. There is a notion held by many
1 that a gentleman is one whose out
1 ward appearance and conduct conform
to social etiquette. This is a consid
' eration of mere manners and may
exist in men who may. be devoid of
! the nobler qualities. Manners are
often the disguise of treachery and
hypocrisy. Sterling qualities within
’ are necessary to the making of a
L Christian gentleman, and some educa
, tion, some practical knowledge of our
' fellowmen, our country and our God,
’ are also necessary. The Christian
j gentleman, must have moral integrity
and humility. Humility shows man
his proper worth. Truly great men
are truly humble. There lived a true
5 man about 2,000 years ago and we must
i walk in His foot steps if wo make
s good our title to that grand old title
of gentleman.”
