look to somebody else, every time he needs a little cash.
A man is not independent if bis business is in such shape that he
cannot move unless some other man will loan him a little money.
The Fall season is at hand. Put by something in the bank so that
when this time of need comes you will not have to depend upon some other
man for what you m,ust have.
You may.have needed money in the past when you had no way of
getting it—you don’t; don't want this to happen In again. Or if you have never been
so unfortunate, let yourself get this shape. Keep ahead of the
game. Build up a bank account. Don’t put it off ’till next month, or
next year. DO IT NOW!

City Tax Returns, Hand¬
some Increase of
$75,000.00.
The city clerk, Mr. A. A. Tur¬
ner, has completed his tax digest
for 1908 and the total returns
show an increase of about $75,000.
In view of the depressed con¬
dition in which all business has
been since the panic of* last
Full, this is quite a handsome in¬
crease for the city. It was no¬
ticeable that many who returned
their tax gave in at a figure
below that of last year, and it
was thought by softie that there
would not be an increase when the
final footings were made.
The increase is due largely to
the Farmer’s Bank aud Hand
Trading Company. The bank re¬
turned 188,000.00 more than in
1907 and the Hand Trading Co.
returned $88,000 00 more than
last year. The total returns for
1907 were $1,220,076. The total
returns for 1908 will be $1,295,

not exact because £he returns of
the railroads have not yet been re

Slashed. With a Butcher
Knife.

What came near beinga serious
cutting affray occurred at the
meat market formerly owned by
Kenningtoo and Castleberry Sat¬
urday night. The difficulty was
between W. B. Timmerman, a
oue armed man, who recently pur¬
chased the market, and his em¬
ployee, G. W. Forrester. The
trouble arose over a demand by
Forrester that he be paid for hi®
services. Bystanders who saw
the difficulty say that Timmer¬
man grabbed the meat cleaver and
struck at Forrester, when the lat¬
ter picked^up the butcher knife,
and in warding off the blow of
the cleaver, cut Timmerman a se¬
vere gash across the jaw. It was
an ngly wound and the man bled
most profusely.
Doctors Clemeuts and McClain
who were immediately called in
dressed the wound and say that it
is not serious. Forrester was im¬
mediately arrested. He was later
set at liberty on a $200.00 bond
for his appe^rance before Justice
