Polk County Is Now on Cash Basis

The following taken from the Polk
County Observer, shows what busi-
ness administration will do for coun-
ty:
Polk county is out Of debt. County
Treasurer Beezley has issued a call for
all outstanding warrants,and there will
be small cash balance In the treas
ury after these warrants are paid
Five years ago when Judge sibley and
Commissioner Teal were elected to Of
flee the county was in debt to the
amount OF S116,O00. OF this sum, $780,
900 represented the cost Of the new
court house and 100000 was old in
debtedness. Before any taxes came
into the treasury the indebtedness
reached $4,000, the highest point in
the history Of the county.
The county court at once set about
to pay this indebtedness and at the end
Of their four years term had reduced
the amount to $4,000. During these
four years the interests Of the county
were not neglected and more permanent
improvements were made than ever
before The court carried on the busi-
ness Of the county as usual and In al
dition, improved the roads, built
bridges, and overlooked no important
public need"
County indebtedness is often incur
red and increased by the purchasing Of
many unnecessary supplies, and there
is not county in the state but by a
judicious and economical adminlstra'
tion, can wipe out its Indebtedness In
short time. The same rule applies
to the management Of city affairs.

ED RUSSELL DAY AT VERONA
A GREAT SUCCESS.
Veronians Spend Pleasant Day Together And
Talk Over Old Times. Good Speeches Made

yours to enjoy with US as long as you
remain in our midst, and we will en-.
deavor to make this one Of the happi-
est events of our lives.
The ties which bind the people of We
roma to Ed Russell are indeed strong
and are made even stronger by the love
and affection we bear to him. His
presence with us today brings vividly
to our minds the scenes and recollec-
tions of other days, the halcyon days OF
our young manhood, when each day
was succeeded by brighter and hap
pier one, and the cares and sorrows OF
life were unknown to US. Those days
were worth living, and / revel in the
very thoughts of them with immeas-
urable pleasure and delight. But the
scenes and conditions of life have great
ly changed with US since those good old
days. The vicissitudes of time often of
ten work marvellous changes in the
lives of men, hence we find that our
distinguished friend is no exception tc
this rule, as we see him today devel-
oped into ripe manhood, mature judg-
ment, strong mentally and physically,
surmounting all obstacles and difficult
ties, with apparent ease, and master
ing all problems as they come to him,
however gigantic or intricate they may
be, with marked ability and success.
Underlying, however, all of his won
derful achievements, we find in him, gen
tlemen, the same great soul, genial
heart, convivial spirit and sunny dispo-
sition, which characterized him as a
youth, and made him the idol Of his
friends in the days Of long, long ago.
Then, gentlemen of his official family,
can you wonderat the great admiration,
pride and affection we feel for him?
Why! Our venerable, gray HAIRED moth
ers continue to love him as tenderly
and with as strong affection as they dc
their own blood, and our fathers boast
and point to his phenomenal success as
fit object lesson for the rising genera
ton to initiate, while our wives teach
their children that he is incapable Of
mistakes OF wrong doing. Soyou see at
once that no unfriendly man to Ed
Russell would ever find Verona very
pleasant health resort.
And now | want to say TO Miss Eoline,
the lovely daughter Of Of our disti1l-
guished friend, that we claim you aa
the daughter Of Verona, and We feel
that you sustain the same relationship
to Verona as did the immortal Winnie
Davis to the Confederacy, and We beg

The event of last week in the
history Of Verona was ed Rus
SELF Day The occasion was a
memorable one and will not be
soon forgotten. The services
were opened up by the Master Of
Ceremonies, F. A. Green, who
called to the stand DR.. T. c..
Weir who invoked divine bles-
sings upon those present and the
absent ones who were prevented
from being present to take part
that day. Letters Of regret were
read by ]. S. Cobb from several
who could not attend, The adj
dress of welcome was feelingly
delivered by Senator L. T. Tay-
lor as follows:
Miss Russell, Col. Russell, Gentlemen
Of the official family of the grand old
Mobile and Ohio Railroad and our old
friends from distant lands and neigh
boring towns: When | tell you that we
are all glad and supremely happy in the
realization of your presence with us
this morning, but reflect the genuine
feeling and sentiment Of every citizen
of Verona and surrounding community.
We welcome you. then, with cordial
hands, open arms, and with hearts full
of love.
Ihave always loved the word welcome.
It is the sweetest word, to me, that
has ever been spoken by the American
tongue. We mean all that the word i'm
plies in its broadcast and most compre-
hensive sense. It means really more
than we can express. Therefore, my
friends, have gathered fresh from the
hearts Of the people Of Verona this
morning thousand greetings for you,
and from the very depth of our hearts
we bid you thrice welcome.
/ count it privilege as well as a
great pleasure to deliver to you this
sweet message Of fraternal greetings
and hospitality, freighted with 50 much
cordiality and esteem. This is Ed Rus
sells day with his old friends at Vero-
M and we want him to feel and real
;ze that all formalities have been elm
mated from this occasion, and that the
oates Of our village are swung wide

4er his official friends and our old
friends from other lands and neighbor-

official in charge of a great rail-
road property should be so signal
lily honored by the plain people of
a great state. Beautiful because
those people paid their tribute to
their friend while he could ap-
preciate it, not waiting, as is done
the world over, for the coming Of
a day when they would gladly
speak words Of praise, but cannot,
because the ear that would be
whispered into is beyond the
sound Of human voice and the
hand that would be strengthened
is put far beyond human touch.
Inspiring, because scene such
as was witnessed at Verona
yesterday was an inspiration to
every one present to so live as to
be worthy the love Of ones fel-
lowman, and to leave footprints
on the sands of time
Footprints that perhaps another,
Sailing o, er life's solemn main;
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
The scene of yesterdays fes-
tivities, an affair delightful alike
to hosts and guests and memora-
BILE to all, was in a beautiful grove
of oaks, within a few yards of
where the guests of honor went
to school and attended meetings
in the little log Baptist church,
and within sight Of where Ed
Russell, his patriotism aroused
by Tim Longs stirring strains of
Dixie, " volunteered as a beard
less youth in the Confederate
army.
Mr.. Parish Greene was master
of ceremonies. About IL o'clock,
after a geneal handshaking be-
tween Colonel Russell and the
old associates Of forty years ago,
Rev. T. G. Wier a venerable min
ister, invoked Divine blessings
upon the assemblage, and was
followed by Col. i. T. Taylor,
whose welcome was eloquent in
the very apparent sincerity Of
his words Of greetings to Colonel
Russell and to his associates,
whom he was pleased to term

the privilege of loving you as fondly as
she was loved by the grand old Con-
federate soldiers. We love you also as
the granddaughter of two of Verona s
oldest pioneer citizens, Geo. D. Russell
and Marion J. Davis, whose very names
were the SYNONYMS of truth and honor,
and whose distinguished Christian lives
will ever reflect credit upon their de-
scendants But we love you the more.
our dear daughter, because the blood
which courses your veins is the same
that caused the heart of your sainted
mother to pulsate and respond freely
to everything that was noble, pure and
good. God bless her memory! May the
recollections of her beautiful life be af-
fectionately cherished by the many wo-
men friends of her native soil as long as
the heavens kiss the mountains, or the
rivers roll to the sea.
! also desire to say to old friends who
were once citizens of our historic vii
lage, that we greet you with glad hands
and open hearts, for if there is one vir-
tue above another which belongs to the
citizenship of Verona, it is their devo-
tion and loyalty to her former friends
and old townsmen, hence we know not
how to fifty express to you our great
pleasure and delight in having you with
us occasion, and may our hearts never
cease to love you with sincere affection
as long as we live.
To say that we appreciate the pres
ence of our distinguished friends, Off
-cials of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad,
is but a meager expression Of our real
feelings, for weare really happy indeed,
gentlemen, to have you with us and es-
TEEN you all the more because of your
official relationship and close personal
friendship for our idolized Russell. We
trust that your stay with us will be la
dened with joys and pleasures, and that
your return home will be crowned with
sweet memories of Ed Russell's day
with his old friends at Verona.
Again we beg you to allow us to em-
phasize our welcome to you all, and if
were master Of eloquence would
gather a bouquet with welcome fresh
from the hearts of the people of vero-
ma, baptized with their love for Ed
Russell and ex-Veronians, perfumed
with our happiest and best wishes for
you all, and i would toss it affection
ately in your laps with our fondest
benedictions.
