Lamar County Makes Increase.
The assessment rolls in the
office of County Assessor B. G.
Carnahan show that the total as-
sessment of property in Lamar
County thiri year is $28,271,595,
which is a gain over last year of
about $875,000. The poll re-
ceipts issued show that the pop-
ulation of the county is increas-
ing, there being 288 more polls
paid this year than there were
last year. Precinct No. 7, which
includes Deport, is about the
only one which shows an in
crease in taxable values during
the past year. There are not as
many horses in the county as
there were the year before, as
numbers of both horses and
mules were sold for shipment to
the war in Europe. There are
likewise not as many hogs in the
county as there were.

Another meeting was held in
Paris last Thursday night in the
interest of the Red River-to-the-
Gulf highway. Deport sent a
committee to look after its inter-
ests. We understand that the.
county agrees to grade up the
proposed routes and furnish a
rock crusher to crush rock used
in its construction, and the peo
pie along the route are to haul
the material. If the people will
agree to do the hauling, a bond
issue will not be necessary. This
is the best opportunity our pec
pie have ever bad to secure good
roads without a bond issue, and
it is to be hoped that they will
take hold of the proposition with
much enthusiasm.
