PRICE SIS a Year
Mistake Corrected"


A writer, more courteous than correct.
attempts in the Express Of Saturday
morning to right a mistake supposed to
have been made by me in Thursdays
LIGHT, indicates that to make lloan"
means to loan money-not borrow money
on bonds.
1t can hardly be possible that he intends
to convey the idea that the charter provi-
sion under discussion was intended to en-
power the city to loan money. Cities do
not go into the banking business. The
only possible meaning of the charter Ian
guage, (''To make loan') is to enable
the city to create debt-to borrow
money; and the obvious spirit of the in
strument is that the citizens shall vote
upon the propriety of creating that debt
But the citizens were not consulted; the
debt already exists, and we are asked TO
pay it.
The council might pass ordinances till
1t was black In the face in the endeavor
to authorize an illegal thing, and it
would avail nothing: Can the council
authorize the mayor to bind the city by
giving his note.
B. c. +. saws that three notes of $4,000
each were given: does even that account
for the necessity of voting bond issue Oh
S3G0, 900?
Necessarily every citizen who attempts
to discuss the matter at all, does so at q
great disadvantages, Tor the precise con-
dition of the city finances is thing
which 'no fellow can find OUT
Concerning the credit of the city: Every
intelligent man in the grand old town is
concerned about it. Disgraces have too
often knocked at our door. If remember
Alright there are about 100000 outstand-
ing bonds, for the payment of which a
sinking fund Of 10 per cent! is being col
lected and their validity is in doubt.
And then there are some unfortunate in
dictments pending relative to bridge
Doodle and transportation of funds.
These things tend to hurt our credit and
are greatly to be deplored. but we cannot
afford, like the ostrich, to bury our heads
and expose ourselves to both ridicule and
danger.
The whole discussion is settled by Sec
ton IS, which reads:
THAT the bonded debt of the city shall
not be Increased, nor other evidences of
debt be issued exceeding fifty thousand
dollars in any one fiscal year unless
authorized by vote of the property tax
payers"
Can any ordinance" override that?

Keep Good Milk Cows.

If our farmers would pay some at
tention to their cattle, weed out the
worthless scrubs and replace them
with well-bred cows, just as they
would discard an old worn out plow
for new one, they would soon real.
ize that there is good profit in but
ter making. The average good cow,
well cared for, will give from 5000 to
10000 pounds of milk, producing 300
pounds of butter a year. The but
er is worth $70-and the milk
fed TO pigs IS very profitable,
besides the cows make the farm rich.
1t is very peculiar that farmers
and dairymen around Clarksville and
along the railroad cannot supply this
market with butter during the winter
and spring, and that we should have
TO rely on Western creameries and
olemargerine. The Holstein COW is
coming to the front as great butter
as well as milk producer. The great
Holstein COW, Pauline Paul, has a
record of ,253 pounds l5} ounces OF
butter in one year, the highest figure
ever reached by any cow.
