TAX RATE WILL Be LESS.
ESTIMATED REDUCTION OF 81 PER
$1,000 STATE AND COUNTY.
The State Rate .S4 of Mill Less
Than Last Year. County Rate
Will Be Reduced Is Mills.

The taxpayers of Terrell county have
the very pleasant prospect ahead of them
of reduction in the tax rate of at least
81 on the $1,000.
Governor Gambler and COMPTROLLER
General Wright have fixed the state tax
rate for the year in accordance with the
authority vested in them by the legisla-
ture. The rate for the state is = mills
for general purposes, 81 mills for the
schools, and .26 mills for the sinking
fund. This makes the total rate for the
state $50 mills as compared with 6.21
last year, or a reduction in the state tax
rate Of .85 of mill.
| The county commissioners are only
awaiting officia. notice of this tax rate
before fixing the county tax rate. The
county rate last year was $40. The cali
citations for the county rate this year
have already been made, based upon the
report of the tax digest by Tax Receiver
Waller. 1t IS possible that some change
may yet be made, but according to the
present calculations he county rate this
year will be 5.64, or a reduction of Is
mills as compared with last year. This
will mean .otal reduction on the com
bined state and county taxes as compared
with last year Of 90.
Last year the combined tax rate for
state and county was 1900. AS at pres
ent calculations the com bined rate this
year will be 1l.00, or reduction of 81
on the 81 900.
This will mean a saving of $2,233 to
the taxpayers on Terrell county's 3d.
233, 600 of taxable property.

The time is fast pproaching
When you must go to school
The weather now is scorching,
But then it will be cool.
DON'T wait till school commences
To look around for shoes,
Then have to walk the fences
To keep out of the dews.
Prepare yourself for walking
(Some of you cannot ride)
By,getting shoes that are talking
For themselves the toughest hide.
TO make a good attendant
You cann0t/stop for rain,
And you'll be independent
If you wear pebble grain.
But some will not want shoes dressy,
Yet shoes that will stand.
We know we have them, Bessie,
They'll wear "to beat the band. -
We bought for old grandmother
Those comforts soft and nice,
For father, sister, brother
We guarantee the price.
We've bought for "baby Dearest"
(The little things SO smart)
Weknow this gets the nearest
To loving mothers heart.
We've bought for all those grunting
With cOrRs they have to lance;
Wen shoe the sports for hunting
If they give us chance.
