COUNTY OF KINDS
HAS SLIGHT gain
Several Counties Are Making Special
Tax Levies to Establish and Main
tain Agricultural High Schools as
Provided by Special Act.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss, August 1.-THE
boards of supervisors in most Of the
counties of the state have contemplate
ed their work Of revising the assess
ments for this year, many Of them hav-
ing adjourned on Saturday, after deyot-
ing an entire week to that work. The
larger counties. however, are still at 1t.
and some of them will consume all this
week on the task.
Kinds County. which was for long
time in the lead in the matter of tax
able values, and which is now sur
passed by Harrison County, alone, has
an increase of only 100000, and 1t is
not believed that the entire state will
show an increase of more than 100000
Or 100000.
There has not been disposition
lately to, initiate values. and no very
large increases in assessments are to
be found in the state.
In many counties the supervisors
have up the question of deciding upon
and fixing levies for agricultural high
schools, and the reports indicate that
large number of them are deciding
! fav6rably upon this question, with very
little local opposition.
In Kinds County, where the school
board has already decided to have
such an institution, the boards have
practically agreed by advance pledges
to vote the levy. Four towns have al
ready signified their intention to make
strong bids Tor the location Of the
school, Ia
Raymond, the county seat Of the
second district, located only about a
mile from the geographical center Of
the county, has offered the necessary
twenty acres of land, within hall
mile Of the town, and in addition will
undertake to raise approximately IS,
; 900 in cash. Clinton. where is locat
ed the Mississippi College and Hill
man Institute, proposes to sell liant
cheap for the purpose, while 1t is un
derstood that Bolton and Edwards, Il
the western portion Of the county, ar
) to make fight for 1t, their plans no
yet having been made known.

Tn. Deceased wife's Sister.

The law against marrying deceased
wife's sister. which caused so much
discussion in England, grew out of
the ancient tribal law forbidding ia
Their to sell more than one daughter to
the same man when the Briton was
emerging from polygamy and when
for 81 shillings of the present money
a man might dismiss his wife or kill
her if she would not go. AS civil law
it was to protect the living wife and
knit tribes closer together by inter-
marriage. When ecclesiastical law be-
came supreme misleading Of some
Scripture text was used to put the
sister of a mans wife among the pro
hibited degrees of relationship. This
was the act of 1541 C32 Henry Wild;
"A man may not marry his deceased
wife's sister or her daughter, but he
may marry his first cousin. London

across number of these little sllvery
reptiles basking on log or piece Of

the invader there is great commotion.
They dart hither and thither SO quick

their movements. The effects of the

He is a graduate of the North Western University. but other business interests now consume the major portion of his time. His partner R.

THE BEAR DRUG STORE.
As Conducted by Potter and Rozien

As Conducted by Potter and Roziene.
 There Is no line of business, with which the public comes into daily contact, that is more important to the health and happiness of not only the individual himself, but also to those relying upon his care, than that of the druggist. A mistake on the part of the pharmacist even in a very slight degree has often proven fatal, and it therefore behooves the citizen in se- lecting his druggist, to choose one up- on whom he can thoroughly rely for careful close attention to details
 Such pharmacy is the Bear Drug Store which was established in 1S97, lst did not come under the manage n"nt of D. W. Potter and R.

Salim AckeI, Proprietor.

The establishment of the Eastern Store on East Washington street. is a bright example of what can be ac- complished in Arizona when opportun- ity is backed by foresight and energy. The rapid rise of this popular business dates back to 1900. In 1894 Salim Ac- kel bid farewell to Smyra. (his native ccuntry) and headed for the golden west. He landed in Phoenix seven years ago and shortly after embarked in the grocery business at PA South Second street on d limited capital of SS5.0C. He soon attracted such q pa tronage that inside of a year he was compelled to seek larger quarters, and moved to 16 and IS South Second street where the increased trade de-
