A sad accident occurred on Monday eve
ming near Packsyllle which caused the
death of Mr. Hampton Cutter. He was
working at the saw mil! of his father, Mr.
Ben Cutter. when a piece of plank was
caught in the rapidly revolving saw and
hurled in the direction Mr.. Gutter was
working and struck him on the head,
crushing his skull. After lingering in
much pain and agony during the night,
death came about o'clock yesterday morn
ing to relieve his suffering. 1t is heavy
blow to the family who have the sympathy
of many friends.
It has been demonstrated repeatedly in
every state in the Union and in many for
eicn countries that Chamberiain's cough
remedy is certain preventive and cure for
Group. It has become the universal rem
edv for that disease. NJ. Y. Fisher of Lib
erty, w Va, only repeats what has been
said around the globe when he writes: 81
have used Chamberlain's cough remedy IN
my family for several years and always with
perfect success We believe that it is not
only the best cough remedy, but that is a
sure cure for Group. 1t has saved the lives
of our children a number of times" This
remedy is for sale by r. B. Loryea, drug
gist.
Our investigations show levy of mills
on s., 1876, 600 real and personal property,
making the amount to be collected So, ,9S4.
The appropriation was Sl0,3lO, making
1926 more than taxes to be collected, and
with the deficits of former years and also
including 1898, it puts the county in a po-
sition of starting business this year, 1893,
with debt OF Sl,929.99. 1t does not re-
qrire much thought to see how utterly I'M
possible it is for the representatives to give
a lower levy this year. AS business prop
osition it would be the proper thing to add
on another mill aud wipe out all outstand-
ing debts, borrow the necessary funds to
run the county upon strictly cash basis
and put to work on the chaingapg any
county officer who would make debt con-
tract against the county. But as long as
we 90 a!ongin this shilly-shally, ,come-a-day,
go-a-day manner OF doing business, paying
all kinds OF prices for the county's needs,
and not attempting to extricate ourselves
from the mire of debt, the prospect for
lower taxes is hopeless, but on the other
hand, the prospect is greet to bankrupt the
county. Clareneon's levy and assessment
is among the smallest in the State, but 1t
could be considerably lower if the people
would consent to allow their representa-
tives to throw off the yoke Of past indebt-
edness and place the county on sure bus
mess basis.
