ings

thing over the $50 900, 900 mark, and for
each one cent levied. about $1,000 will be
produced In order to produce the
amount of money asked bv the School
Commissioners the levy would have had
to be 80 cents for all school purposes.

mated will produce from $4,000 to

tated at the Frederick City Hospital on

when a nail in his shoe chaled his toe.
The real cause of his trouble, however,
is attributed to an injury that he re-
ceived years ago in Kansas, when
bench fell over his foot. This was before
the late Civil War. AT various times
since then, especially in the summer
time, Dr. Mckinney has had trouble
with this foot.
