nation that an immense amount OF re-

only when complete reports or what

mAuRY couxrY,s FINANCES.

The Herald publishes elsewhere in
this issue a comprehensive report
from County Trustee Ramon. showing
his receipts and disbursements fIom
July /, 1903. to September l, 1904,
and the cash balance on hand, which
amounts TO the comfortable sum OF
s42. 275. 10; a very healthy showing in
deed.
II is the MOST comprehensive. the
most easily decipheIed, the most salts
factory report we have seen submitted
by one of MauIy county's financial
agents, and is made. as they should be
made. not alone to the County Court,
but published to. the people-from
whom all taxes come, and who have
the right and ought TO know where
they go.
1t is the duty of every County Trus-
tee to collect the taxes; but every
Trustee does not do his duty. There
is difference very broad differ
ence-between a receiver of taxes, and
collector of taxes. Trustee Ramon
is both. He receives from those who
volunteer to pay. and he goes after
those who will not come to him. lie
notifies them through the newspapers
he writes them letters; he throws
business methods and business energy
into this business just the same as he
does into his private business and the
results speak tor themselves, and we
challenge any County Trustee in Ten
nessee to show cleaner report or
closer collection. the size of the county
and the amount involved. considered.
The arrangement of the report, the
cleanness OF it. the mere clerical work
of it, is beyond the ability OF a large
majority perhaps of the County TIus-
tees of tie State. And that is another
point In Mr.. Ramon s favor; he still
had his business eye open when he
selected his deputies, and he chose
them because they were qualified and
competent to discharge the duties OF
the office. His deputies, Messrs. W.
H. Puryear and Elem Thomas are not
only obliging, courteous and polite,
but they are first class accountants,
both OF them, and deserve special com
mendation for their painstaking work
and accuracy in making out this
report.

California Is to have raisin trust.
A company has purchased 1900 car
loads of the ca1ry-over crop of last
year, and expects to gain control OF
the 1000 car loads of this years crop.
The stock has been put on the market
in the sum of 81, 900, 900. There is no
good "raisin" why the people should
not dump that trust by refusing to pay
the price. It would not be hard
to do without raIsins.

The Fair management are making
big preparations for a great meet,
beginning the goth of this month, and
as Fair is a COOL thing for a town
and county the people ought to talk
and encou1ge it and help push it along.
One thing our City Fathers might do,
we think, is to flush the public square
and principal streets every night, or
very early every morning; especially
South Main from the Square to the
corporation line. South Garden to the
depot, and West Seventh. This should
be done for the health and comfort of
the people, if for nothing else. but in
addition to that it will make good
impression upon visitors and be good
advertisement for the town.
