Tax Rnte Down.

Learning that sufficient money is on hand to take up the bonds due the com- ing year. the Board of County Commis- sioners held & special meeting last night and ordered the one-eighth of a mill assessed for bond purposes be stricken from the tax levy table. This reduces the tax rate to about the same as it was last year, notwithstanding the fact that the levy for school pur- poses was raised one mill. The total tax levy, for State and county pur- poses, will be less than 1t was this year. as the State has reduced it's rate one mill.

Capt l.. Fondebilla and number or beach fishermen, had a narrow escape this morning from injury by an infu- riated and immense saw fish. while fishing with "a gillsnet of' Magnolia Bluff in the bay. The fishermen had spread their net. when they noticed that a big shark had become eIitangled in its meshes. They wore busy killing the shark, having sent the boat near the fish, when an immense saw fish was seen to dart through the water in fhe direction of the boat. It, too be- came entangled in the neshes of the net but this only enraged It more. ap- parently, for breaking and cutting the
 net It made drive for the boat. which 1t scraped, and cut long gash. On the next turn to attack one of the fisher men, who had armed himself with an axe, struck the fish on the head as it struck tho boat. The fish measured fifteen feet in length and had saw four feet In length.

LAY FEVER is endemic catarrh. 1t
/ Is caused by some irritating sub
stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause Of it.
Change of locality seems TO be the
only rational cure. The use Of Peruna,
however, stimulates the ncrvOu, system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
carnations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack Of the disease.
A large number Of people rely upon
Pcruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location TO avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give pcruna n trial.
1t has proven of priceless value to
