Maccabees Hold Public Meeting at Courthouse-Lander Price
 Nuptials Tuesday

Tuscumbia, February 7.-(Special )-The condition of city finances caused a de- plorable step to be taken in regard to the city schools at the meeting of town coun- cil on last night.

This step is much regretted by, those who are anxious to keep Tus- cumbia abreast with the times on educa- tional lines, and the return to the old pay system means a decided retrogression.

To preserve and increase his great
fortune Colonel John Jacob Astor
didn't have to make an effort or even
take n risk So great was his Inherit
ed wealth that he could afford both
idleness and the elimination OF ven
ture Even his financial thinking WAS
done for him by his departed anrcs-
tors. Commenting on the conduct OF
the Astor estate. the New York Sun
says: by putting their properties out
under long term leases the Astors lose
much OF the benefit Of constantly In
creasing vnlues. instances are being
cited of properties which they leased
years ago under old valuations from
which they could uow derive ten and
twenty times as much money as they
are getting. Their tenants. however.
sell and resell their leases, often at
big profits to themselves. In all coun
tries there is no fortune more securely
established than that Of the Astors."
