NO SCRIP HERE.

We notice from our Meridian exchanges that
the municipal officials and employees in that city
were paid for services rendered during the month
of August in scrip instead of money, this action
having been rendered necessary by the depleted
condition of the treasury
Much of the scrip was discounted at exorbitant
rates. and several members of the city council fa
vor paying the employees fair rate of interest up
to the time the city will be able to redeem the
scrip in cash. This will be about the 18th of Octo-
ber, on which date the council expects to receive
currency in payment for municipal bond issue Of
$3.50 900 recently sold to the New York Life Insur-
ance Company. 1t is not the fault of the employees
that they did not receive payment for their services
in cash, and 1t is nothing but right that the city
pay them interest for the time that they were kept
without money justly due them.
We are glad to be able to state that Columbus
has never, or not for many years at least, been
compelled TO pay off her employees in scrip
The city has had numerous calls on her exchequer,
but her finances are ably looked after and there is
always sufficient cash in the treasury to meet every
legitimate demand.

John Cunningham Turnly, who
married Mahala Taylor, daughter
of Parmenas Taylor, one of the
first settlers in Tayior's Bend,
came to this place, established a
wagon factory and blacksmith
shop and named the place Oak
Grove. Little did this man Turnly
then realize he was christening a
place that would spring up to be
one of the finest agricultural Sec
tons in E. Tennessee. Noplace in
East Tennessee ships more live
stock than goes from this section
every year. Hundreds Of carloads
of horses, mules, hogs, cattle and
sheep are raised, bought and
shipped every year from this sec
ton of the country.
So famous is it known that
Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro-

here for stock of various kinds.

COATED TONGUE
MEANS LAZY LIVER
A Lazy Liver Needs a Dose Of
DodsOn's Liver TOne-Guar-
anteed to Take Place
of CalOmel.

When your doctor looks to see if
your tongue is coated, he is trying to
ind out if your liver is working prop
erly. A few years ago doctors had to
prescribe calomel-there was nothing
else to give.
Recently in many sections of the
country Dodson's Liver Tone has
practically taken the place of calomel
as liver remedy. Dodson's Liver
Tone is mild, pleasant tasting and
harmless-which makes it a fine medi-
cline for use when your children be-
come bilious ana constipated. But
the most remarkable feature of Dod-
sons Liver Tone is the fact that Smith
Drug Co., who sells it, guarantees 1t
absolutely. The druggist will return
your money without argument if a
bottle fails to give entire satisfaction.
Price, so cents. Wesuggest that you
get bottle today and have 1t ready
for the next member of your family
whose liver goes wrong.

REV. BLACK OFFICIATES

My Love, the world is rose
Wreathed,
Since my love has found your

All mankind stronger, sWeeter,
Since your lips were pressed to
mine.
The heart forsakes its depth Of

And climbs to starry heights,

This world of love so true,
This fairy morn has dawned for
me
Since life became-just you.

The French government declares it

1t was pointed out that the question OF
the acceptability of Senior de la Barra in
France had been settled before he left
Mexico for Paris. and it was also declared
that he was personal friend of PreSi-
dent Poincare.
Senor de la Barra has arrived in Paris
and the Mexican charge daffaires will
make immediate inquiries at the foreign
office as to when he can present his Gre

an estimated million dollars worth Of
rare and costly coins on exhibition, the
twelfth annual convention of the
American Numismatic Association was
formally opened here today. Coins rep

from practically every country In the
world are to be seen.
Farran Zerbe, past president of the
association, gave the delegates an ad-

cording to Mr.. Zerbe one OF the chief
reasons why the money in Siam is
spherical is to facilitate easy exchange,
which Is necessary to aid the vicissi-
tudes of gambling. He said that games
Of chance are so popular with some of
the Siamese. and the medium Of barter
flies to and fro among them with such
rapidity that recently when the gov
ernment minted disc money a general
complaint went up over the whole

REGULATES ELECTIONS,
Committee to Forestall Disputes
Over Choice of q. s. Senators.

To forestall further disputes over the
election Of senator's in accordance with
the recent direct election amendment to
the constitution. the Senate elections COM
mittee is preparing to propose certain
regulatory legislation.
Senator Walsh OF Montana and q SUBJ
commmittee now are working on a bill
which will provide for the extension Of
the state laws for electing representa-
tives in the various states to the election
of senators. This would not only au-
thorize the governors to call special cleo
tions to fill vacancies but would authorize
the election Of senators at the regular
elections.
The legislation is regarded as desirable
because many state legislatures have pro-
yided no machinery for carrying the
amendment into effect, and some will not
be in session to do SO before the next
regular election comes around.
