pointed Yesterday morning to find
nothing in either of the Knoxville pa
pers as to the final vote on the repeal
bill. The Nashville Banner issued

to 100. Knoxville newspapers can't
afford to let Nashville papers furnish
Jonesboro and up country readers the
latest news.
As Jonesboro has so many old maids
who don't care to tell their age the fol
lowing may be of interest to the inquis-
tive minds of the young men who are
always anxious to know how old things
are that they purchase. Girls of a
manageable age do not like to tell
how they are; but you a find out by
following the subjoined instructions,
the young lady doing the figuring. Tell
her to put down the number of the
month in which she was born, then
multiply it by 2, then to add 5, then to
multiply it by 80, then to add her age,
then to subtract 365, then to add 115,
then tell her to tell you the amount
she has left. The two figures to the
right will denote her age and the re-
mainder the month of her birth. Fol
example, the amount is 1922; she is %
years old and was born in the eight
month August. Try it.
