he intended to 90 back to Nashville and

chased a ticket. On the STU Of May the
number ON that ticket drew $4,000, which
the baker received. This association will
have only one more Concert, which will
positively be given on the 29th Of Deeem-
Der, and you may be as fortunate as the
aforementioned baker if you purchase a
ticket. The character Of the gentlemen

The school Fund.

Frequent inquiries are made of the State
officials, as to the cause of the small
amount of poll tax distributed in October.
Upon investigation, We find the facts to be
as follows: The law requires that the
amount on hand on the first Mondays of
April and October be distributed to the
counties in population to scholastic pOpula-
ton. The amount paid into the Treasury
from the first Monday of April to the first
Monday in October was Sl9,2S6. The ex-
panses of the department in tie mean time
were S979.45, leaving the amount distrib-
uted SIS.3I2.55
