SOLD BY LEADING DRUGGISTS SCaBOTILF SXMDrOLI The weather now feels chilly and fire in the house feels very comfort able. But it is getting time for cool weather. One time during the civil war I saw snow the 20th day of Septmber, though I was at Knoxville, I Tenn., then. Picking cotton is now the general ; order of the day. Last week the gins were running pretty well all the time and lots of cotton is go ing in this week to be ginned. I think the most that was ginned last j week was sold. The price paid at Lyerly was from 12 3-8 to 13 cents. The* crop will be the shortest for ten years. Well Superior court is over —did not last as long as some thought it would. But long enough for our little county. The expense to the : county of holding court has been I very heavy to what it used to be. ; But we are in debt now and will be for a good many years to come. But I am glad that our state and ! county tax is no higher than it was : last year. I don’t see how it is with the bonded debt on us now and the 1 : tax just the same it was last year. ' when we had no bonded debt. But ' I am not kicking about it being too low, for I think it is about as high again as it should be. Twelve dol- ; ! lars on the SIOOO will get up a pile ' of money and I don't know where it all goes to. I know one thing I pay | out a good deal for tax but never j get anything at all back that I pay ' out. I think $5 on the thousand ■ would be a big tax for the people to have to give away free gratis. I am of the same opinion as “The Man From Town,’’ that a good many' of the offices of the county could be done away with and save the county of a large expense. The Ordinary | could attend to all the business of his office and of the board of roads ! and revenues for less than half what 1 the board costs. Then jurors could serve for one dollar per day. I have and it was done then to keep the county out of debt. But those days are passed and forever gone. The people now seem to be for the dol lar and the people must be taxed to get it. G. A.
