The interest of the schools

library in six sections, numbered
from one to six consecutively, the
aggregate of the number of volumes
being three hundred.
These books are divided into Sec
lions of fifty volumes each, and
these volumes treat of all manner
of subjects, from the discussion OF
dolls for the little folks to the treat
ment of agricultural subjects for the
adults. All manner of scientific
subjects are also treated by the most
capable and the finest writer's OF the
country.

sections are placed with the schools
and that system of interchange be
established until the books have

uations $4,000 Better-Number OF
Polls Less.
The tax books for Maury county
for the year 1912 have been complied
and are now ready for the endorse
ment of the court when it meets the
second Monday in October. Despite
the fact that land wales have been 60
ing up all over the county at most
noticeable rate there is an actual de-
crease in the total taxable valuation
of property in the county of $243,i0O.
And notwithstanding the fact that
the tax rate was raised five cents
for this year the decrease in the tax
able valuation brings the taxes tt2be
collected $1,72S.62 lower than for the
year 1911.
The officers account partially for
this decrease in the grand total by
the fact that a number of the rhos-
plate companies that were assessed
last year have either gone out Of bus
--iness or decreased their assessments,
but the total of the decrease they do
not explain.
The city of Mt. Pleasant has fallen
