STRAWBERRIES AND THE COURIER. — It is a well-known fact in this section of the county that the Courier staff are partial to strawberries, and within the last week when we were in the midst of a busy season on the hot days several remembrances were made us at a most desirable period.

Harvey Miller and R.G. Miller, 3rd line of Bathurst, left us sample boxes, and the aftermath of a busy reunion was forgotten in the taste of refreshing fruit.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION. — Judge Reynolds, of Brockville, has given an important decision on a clause of the new assessment act. The new act says that machinery shall be assessed as part of the real estate, but exempts fixed machinery used for manufacturing purposes. James Cummings, of Lyn, who owns a large mill property, appealed against his business assessment, which is based on the real estate value, the assessors having placed the machinery as part of the real estate. The judge decided that fixed machinery meant any machinery being permanently used for milling purposes, and consequently his milling machinery was exempt. This judgment is very important to manufacturers.
