IWe have before us, a notice fom Tax Assessors J. W. Quin jy, D. W. Gaskin, and Moses Jlriffin, notifying us that we had bo, given in our taxes according to Jheir notion, and that our ‘"city tax for 1903 had been raised.” ■Well, it’s all right to raise it, but iwhether we can scrape up the f“schads” to pay the “raise” is [another thing. We gave it in at [about what we thought we could pay, and the very thing that we are informed that the “raise” is made on is depreciated in value, and that is our home. We thought it was a corner lot, but we are now told that Sellers street, or the street north of the lot is not on the map, not recognized, should not be worked or opened. If this, then, is true, of course the value of the propeaty is less. But They “rais ed” us, and we guess we’ll have j to raise the money for the taxes, j Still, there is consolation in know 1 ing that we are not the only one, j there are others, and it is some s ttisfaction to know that if all are j raised —making an increase in tax able values there will be a smaller j rating, and rather than be com -Ipe led to face the three hardest j loosing men in town we’ll pay the . difference. Let others do the 1 same. Dan Gaskin’s Cow. Clerk D. W. Gaskin is the owner of a half jersey cow that is about four years old, and has given him three calves.

Cards are out announcing the approaching marriage of Mr. J. M. Wilcox and Miss Nina lieald, to be celebrated October 15th. We have been thinking for some time that Marvin would meet his match sooner or later, and it came sooner, when the lady with the telephone wires pulled him in. He has been begging for “Central” a good while. Twelve Cent Gotten and a Six Cent Crop. Doublin Courier Dispatch : “Twelve-cent cotton does not mean so much after all, when only a six cent crop is made.” Our contem porary is partly correct, inasmuch as the farmer has used the same land, labor and fertilizer, that he would have used in making a full croo, but if he had planted and cultivated a six cent crop he might and would have made money by selling twelve cent cotton.. Tax Collectors Are Instructed. Comptroller-General Wright has issued his book of instructions to tax collectors. Col.

I I have had occasion to use yo rßlack-Draught Stock and Poultry Medi cine and am pleased to say that I never' used anything for stock that gave half as good satisfaction. I heartily recom mend it to all owners of stock. J. B. BELSHKR, St Louis, Mo. Sick stock or poultry should not cat cheap stock food any mare than sick persons should expect to be cared by food. When your stock and poultry are sick give them med icine. Don’t stuff them with worth less stock foods. Unload the bowels and stir up the torpid liver and the animal will be cured, if it be possi ble to cure it. Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine unloads the bowels and stirs up the torpid liver. It cures every malady of stock if taken in time. Secure a 25-cent can of Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine and it will pay for itself ten times over. Horses work better. Cows give more milk. Hogs gain flesh. And hens lay more eggs. It solves the problem of making as much blood, flesh and energy as possible out of the smallest amount of food con sumed. .Buy a can from your dealer. i soutiiei WKm ’K Miss Kn.
