The board of equalization OF Polk

it's duty with vengeance at the last
sistting. The Troy News-Banner says
of it: Most Of the county equaliza'
ton boards are mere knots on sticks
who make few changes more Just to
seem to have earned their salaries
than for aught else. But the board In
Polk, Tennessee's southeasternmost
county, did not take that view OF IT,
The tax rate had been $3.50, and they
wanted it lessened. So they put on
their nerves, raised the Tennessee Cop
per company from $500, 900 to $780,

from $4oo, 900 to s425, 900, and then

A COOL 'UN.
WHY GARDENER KELLER WAS
COOL AFTER THE WRECK.

Mr.. ". A. Keller, the Illinois Cen
trial gardener, who Is in the city TO-
day, claims the distinction Of having
been the coolest man in . big wreck
some time ago.
He was running into Paducah from
Louisville to do q little work here and
before his destination was reached .
freight train ran into the passenger on
watch he was riding. Mr.. Keller
was tossed from one end Of the coach
to the other and was landed against
the water cooler, which was turned
over on him. He was drenched to the
skin and when Paducah was reached
began Boosting Of his GOODNESS during
that wreck and never since has ceased.
Mr.. Kellar is now working with
the depot hospital yard flower beds.
He has arranged what ne calls Brus-
sells carpet flower bed in the depot
lawn and when it is in full bloom
says nothing in the flower line can
beat 1t. He has worked many beauti-
full figures in the bed in regular order
and when the bed is properly cut looks
like real carpet. One end IL rolled
up to MAKE the resemblance more
marked.

worth double the price of admission.
The hippodrome contests, serpen'

fascinating one. and evoke the SINGER
est applause from the countless null
titudes that witness it.
The music by Deans band is a
credit to the musicians, who have had
little time to rehearse it. The pro-
duction will be repeated each night at

crease every evening as the people
more fully realize tine magnitude of
the entertainment Paducah is the
only city in Kentucky outside of
Louisville able to secure 1t. and the
prospects are for large crowds every
night, from the city as we'll as sur
rounding places.
The crowds are well handled by the
street car company and there is no
drag about the performance. 1t is
hoped that the engagement here will
prove profitable as it well deserves to
be. The people may never again have
the chance outside of the large cities
to see anything SO wonderful and
grand.
