specific licenses must pay up at once
or subject themselves to fine. There
are only two dates on which licen

Tbe city Is a little more liberal than
the banks however, and allows thirty
days grace Instead of three. Thus
those whose licenses were due on
the first of March were allowed
to continue unmolested until the 1st

was coming on September 1. The
period of grace Is growing shorter

A PLAN FOR
ROAD TAX
The question of road tax contin
ues to be an Issue over In Grady
county. There was. some talk of
resisting the payment .of |Z per
thousand but this seems to have died
away. Over In the Decatur side, of
Grady they have solved the problem.
Each man has the choice of paying
91.50 or working three days. They
cannot be made to work outside of
the district In which they live,
they claim Therefore each
i Is urged to work Instead
of paying the cash and thus keep the
benefit at home. This looks fair.
Tbe sensational bankruptcy case
of the Perry Pharmacy Company at
Camilla Is still In tbe courts, and
there'!* a conflict of Jurisdiction.
The case was once before
Judge Mitchell here and the Camilla
Entrprlse tells of Its present status.
At a meeting of the creditors In
the case of Perry’s Pharmacy In
bankruptcy, In Albany. Tuesday a
trustee was elected and application
will be made to the receiver, Mr.
T. P. Perry at Camilla, for the assets
of the concern to be turned over to
the trustee In bankruptcy. The state
court was, given Jurisdiction of the
case by tbe foreclosure of a mort
gage for tbe sum of 93,100 held by
J. M. Bpence over the stock and fix
tures of the concern.
The case has noW been carried
by other creditors of Perry's Phar
macy to the United States Court.
Mr. Spence will probably resist
the apllcatlon to transfer the assets
so far as his gfalm Is concerned to
the other court.

“The Son of Man came not to be
ministered unto but to minister and
give his life a ransom for many.”
Use the world, but do not let it
use you. Be Its physician, not Its
victim ’Its master, not Its slave. Be
to the world a sunbeam and not
snow. One warms and purifies, - -
the other chills and absorbs. Christ
never guarded Himself against sin-
sick humanity, but everywhere In
vaded men’s lives with His holy pres
ence. ennobling and uplifting all
alike, creating His own spiritual
surroundings In which His soul could
securely dwell. As a man among
men. He came In contact with all
kinds of human vice and yet “with
out sin.” ’ Thank God for such an
ledal lire within reach of all.

that the atendance is in excess of
