For or Against Saloons.


For two weeks the people of
Bolivar have been agitating the
question of closing saloons By
this time every well-informed per-
son knows that the legislature can
do this by passing an act to repeal
the charter of the corporation, ana
then another act to reincorporate.
A petition addressed to the mem bers
of the General Assembly, with the
signatures of 50 of the white voters
of Bolivar, was presented 10 our
Representative, Hon. J. A. Foster.
He gave it due consideration, then
talked with our Senator, Mr.. Hous-
ton and our Floater, Mr.. Smith,
both of whom agreed with him that
the most conclusive way of settling
the question would be by vote of
the people. Hence the matter was
referred to Messrs r. Il. Mitchell,
G. A. Miller and T. d. Newbern,
who were instructed TO order and
hold an election, Saturday, Feb. 3,
or Monday following, forming the
rules for holding the election them
selves, deciding who should vote.
Messrs. Foster, Houston and Smith
promised to pass the bills so soon as
it was declared by the election that
the people desired it.
Every lover OF law and order,
virtue and sobriety, home and
school, should give his or her infiu
ence TO a vote for this cause, which
means "For God, Home and Native
Land" J. f. RAY.

read by G. A. Black, ST., before the Hardeman Co
Farmers Institute, January 26, 1901
The State Of Tennessee and hel
several counties have obligations
amour ting to millions of dollars
annually, that have to be met by
fixing certain rate of tax on all
properties within her jurisdiction,
exempting $1,000 worth of personal
property to each resident tax payer,
who possesses that amount or more
That the State and counties may
be able TO meet these obligations
promptly, and thereby maintain
their credit and honor, the State
legislature has enacted certain as
sessment laws aud created tax as
SCISSORS office in each civil district
of every county in the State, so the
property may be assessed by fficiaIs
who are familiar with it's location
and valuation.
A board of equalizers, establish

make all necessary changes, etc., in
the work of the district assessor.
and the state board to canvass the
reports of each county board and
has full power to raise or lower the
value of any property in the State,
or raise the value of all the proper
ty in any county without regard to
those who are paying tax on the
full value of their property. Hence
it behooves every tax payer TO assist
and urge the district assessor to per-
form his work thoroughly, that no
property either real or personal, be
left unassessed and a fair value
placed upon it.
For instance, the property within
the corporate limits of cities, towns
and villages, should be assessed |
from that without, as is
i'll law, THUS giving to each
Incorporated town the aggregate as
'essed value of its property to which
t is justly entitled, and the country

ented by the total assessed value

There are other reasons why the

Another one Of ,he Masters pre-

Jan. %, 1901, when little Pearl
Rives Black was called from the
!ireside of fond and loving parents
and sisters.
While it is to be assumed as a
universal fact that the brightest,
best, purest and most innocent are
the first transported from earth to
heaven, it is true that the lovely
little Pearl, aged five years and nine
months, seemed to some, who knew
her best, to have been given to earth
for time and purpose.
Ere sin could blight sorrow fade
Death timely came, with friendly care;
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And bade it bloom forever there"
Indeed she was, when but a bud
of promise, taken to the Heavenly
paradise to bloom in the beautiful
garden of God, where there are no
5lighting frosts of death. She has
gone to Him who said, 'sSuffer little
children to come unto me, and for
bid them not; for of such is the
kingdom of God" To be removed
to the Garden of the Lord means
culture, beauty and JOY forever.
A child in Heaven. how uplifting
and comforting to Christ loving and
Christ-trusting parents.
Had the loving attention of an
afectiOnate aunt, the untiring care
of a devoted father and mother, the
faithful, earnest efforts of kind ply
sicians, the intense solicitude of
numerous relatives and friends pre-
vailed then little Pearl would now
share her presence in the home
that is sad by the loss TO them,
which is so deeply and keenly felt.
OShe was the pet of tue household,
her fathers daily companion. That
sweet little tongue and those pratt
tering little feet will be missed. II
is hard to give up one of SO much
promise, so bright and interesting,
possessing loving and happy dis
position, gentle and modest in her
manner, winning the love of those
with whom she came in contact.
Yet the Lord loveth and doeth all
things for the best, and we are com
forted with the thought.
With the deepest sympathy for
the bereaved ones, may the God of
peace and love comfort as he only
can. A FRIEND.
