THE USE OF
CHRISTMAS CARDS

Never in the history Of development
of social customs have Christmas
Cards been so much used as they are
today.
The custom is almost universal and
is extending each year; fact that is
natural, when 1t is remembered that
! this is the least expensive and most
delicate means Of conveying our share
in the sum total Of Christmas happi-
ness.
While ready made cards for this
occasion are offered for sale at many
places; these are not so much in de-
mand now as those which are spec
tally engraved Cards for Christmas
Greeting should express ones 4ndi-
vidual taste in as great degree as
cordial personal greeting, and this can
only be accomplished through the me-
dunn of a card engraved in accord
ance with your own taste in arrange
men4 and artistic effect.
The most satisfactory results can be
obtained by consulting the J. P.
stevens Engraving Co, A Whitehall
St, Atlanta, who viii send samples of
the very latest sty1e-send today so
that the work can be made up for you
in ample time

PURITY.

When you behold her, calm, among
the flowers,
You know that through her never
troubled eyes
The firm lights of her soul shine
steadily
To world that reeks OF soiled and
wretched things
And knowing this you trennble that
SO pure
So delicate a structure, indebted,
Should stand revealing full her ten
derness
To things that bIemish, soil and bruise
and blight
KNOW you the rose that from it's
thorny stem
Doth bud and bourgeon forth In
splendor rare:
The lily pale that shapes its slender
neck
That purity Is armor, strong as steel
For every wind that sways the LILY
pale;
Is drenched with toxic spell, and
every hand
Which hovers near doth tell of un-
clean deeds
In volumes. Yet the glory OF the
rose,
The Iily's pale and slender chastity
Do stand unblenished fadeless until
God
In His Own Time has said that they
apart
Must fall, like tender blessings, ON the
earth.

No Contract for Bridges

Although a goodIy part of the
county courts time was laken
last week with the consideration
of bridge matters, no contracts
were awarded for the construc-
ton Of bridges which the court
intends to build at Leafbank and
Orma. The court decided to adj
vertisa for bids on the construc-
ton of the bridges, and as soon
as the advertisements have run
for the time required by law the
court will meet and let the con-
tracts.
A representative Of the Luten
Bridge Co., makers of cement
bridges has been here for the
past week in conference with the
court and it is likely that one or
more of the bridges to be built
soon will be Of concrete.
The court has about decided
not to build the bridge across the
West Fork at Bee Hopkins until
some time next year.

Taxable Property Greatly In
creased

Assessor w. J. Sturm gave out
the totals of the valuation of the
land and personal property as
sessed for purposes of taxation
in this county last week. From
his statements it appears that
there is an increase Of about
SAG, 900 in the value of the
property assessed.
Real estate in the county was
valued at So, 215, sos and personal
property at 81, 4S1, 800 for the
year 1912. This year the real
estate is valued at So, 234, $50 and
personal property at 81, COS, $50,
making substantial increase in
the valuations from which to
raise taxes.
On the items of increase was g
raise of fifty thousand dollars in
the assessment of Cabot's fac
tory. In 1912 this plant was val
ued at $40, 600 and this year AS
SCISSOR Sturm has raised it to
sos, 600. The assessment on the
West Virginia factory was raised
from $27, 900 to $4,000.
Mr.. Sturm and his deputies
have been very dilligent in the
prosecution of the work connect
ed with the assessors office, and
to our way Of thinking fair and
equal values have been placed on
the property of the county. The
Board of Review and Equaliza-
ton may make some changes in
the assessments, as the represen-
tative of the tax commissioner
Office thought that all land in the
county was assessed to low, and
it is probable that the Board will
have to make horizontal raise in
the values placed upon the real
estate.

Food Supply of Future Not Likely 20
Come From Torrid Zone.
There is widespread belief that the
tropical lands are extraordinarily fer

ter of course that the bulk OF the food
OF the future will be raised not far
from the equator. Obviously the rank
luxuriance OF tropical vegetation in
well watered regions is responsible for
this belief OF late years several ge-
ographers and agriculturists have
thrown doubt upon these conclusions
and declared that despite the appear
ance Of phenomenal fertility the tro-
pics are not likely ever to rival the
temperate zone as the principal grow

DeyaStfnl HaiI=StOrm Does Much
Damage

Wednesday evening the resi-
dents of this town and a good
part Of the surrounding country
witnessed one of the hardest
and most devastful hail storms
ever known to even the Oldest
residents.
Az this place the storm lasted
for probably thirty minutes and
for a time the streets were white
as if a light snow had fallen.
On the Smithville ridge north of
this place the damage was much
heavier, grain crops being beaten
to the earth, making it necessary
to harvest the crop with scythes.
Corn was cut up like a shred
der had been in use and the dam
age to the corn crop alone will
be large item.
Now as to tn Q size of the hail
stones. the writer did not see
any larger than a hulled walnut,
but Commissioner Gran Johnson
says that Senator Alph Yoak told
him that John Johnson told him
that stones as large as a well de-
veloped lineup fell on Bull Riv-
er. But then you know there
are hail. stones and hail.stones.

Deficit in County Fund

Elk Sheriff G.. A. Jarvis finish
ed his settlement with the county
court Saturday and turned over
to his successor, Sheriff r. j.
Knots, a check for SD, 962. % in
settlement of the balance due
the various funds. Mr.. Jarvis
has made a most excellent sher-
if during the past term of four
years, having been at all times
prompt, obliging and courteous
in the discharge of his various
duties. Of course there are
some who will blame him for be-
ing too hard and some who will
say he was too easy, but on the
whole we believe we are justified
in saying that his administration
of the sheriff's office has given
satisfaction 10 the great majority
Of the taxpayers of the county.
Below will be found a state
ment of the amounts in the var
ious funds of the county. The
road and school funds are not APP
portioned by districts but will be
published later as soon as the
county clerk can make up the the
financial statement. The follow
ing are the amounts in the var
ious funds:
County Fund S268. 80
Bridge Fund 1892. rs
Dog Tax 777.12
Road Funds 1919. 63
Teachers Funds 1470. 70
Building Funds 1888. 60
The above shows the balance
IL the county fund to be only
$26S. 80. Since the settlement
was prepared, orders aggregat-
ing more than $1,000 have been
allowed which really leaves a
deficit in the county fund. Coun-
ty orders are not being paid, and
Sheriff Knots will not endorse
them until he has instructions
from the tax commissioner.
The last settlement showed a
balance of over $4,000 in the
county fund, but since that time
several orders have been allowed
on the general fund for work on
bridges and approaches to
bridges, which has cut deeply in
to the county's finances. Of
course it will only be a few
months until county orders are
worth their face value as soon
as the sheriff can collect taxes
from next years levy but it is a
little hard on those holding or
ders just now, especially if the
tax commissioner should decide
that they are not entitled to bear
interest.
