among the tax collectors and lawyers
In the case Of A. M. Blakely VS.. the Ten
nessee River Transportation Company,
on question Of tax foreclosure, the
Judge decided that mortgage claim in
volved in the case, must have satisfaction
before tax claim 80 involved and estab-
lished the principle that mortgage claims
should always have precedence over tax
claims. If the decision is upheld by the
Supreme Court it will mean the loss of

The NATIONS FLAG.

1t was on June Ia, TIT, that the con-
tinental congress adopted resolution
reading as follows: That the flag OF
the 10 states be 13 stripes, alternate red
and white; mat the union 20 Ii stars,
white in q blue field representing a
new constellation" This was the OFF,
cial notice than an American flag had
been adopted The first flag was made
by Betty Ross In Philadelphia. In 1890
Jonathan f. Morris OF Hartford, then
registrar of the Connecticut Society OF
the Sons of the American Revolution
suggested that the anniversary OF the
adoption of the national banner be
commemorated by his society. Since
then the observance has grown to be
national In character. The first flag
contained the 13 stars In circle, but
as new states were added 1t became
necessary to arrange them In straight
lines. On July a. 1896. another star,
that representing Utah, was added to
the constellation, and the flag with the
45 stars was hoisted on every Flagstaff
ut the military posts Of the country and
on federal buildings. The stars were
placed In six rows, three containing
eight stars and three seven.-New York

marks for a practical and industrious
fool-killer. 1t Is these quasi-crininals
who have swelled the long list OF acci-
dents and fatalities attending every
celebration Of this national holiday.
They are not content TO be harmlessly
juvenle; they ache for the cheap no.
toriety of startling, frightening or
maim.ng somebody. There have Deen
too many privileges accorded to such
creatures; the police should be ordered
TO I'll the station houses with them.
There are a few persons at least who
have to be abroad In the streets on July
4, and they SHOULD have the same pro-
lection on that DAY that Is accorded to
them on every other Gay in the year.
