or three. The man is unbalanced.
About twenty fishermen at
ReelfoOt Lake met last week and
formed an association for the pur-
pose of filing suit to recover DAM
ages against the West Tennessee
Land Co. Ii will be recalled that
there has been a bitter contro-

men and this land company, over
rights to fish, and that several
years ago one man was hung and
another assaulted by band of
ruffians at the lake.

fair plane with other states which
have shown marked progress and

1T provides that any and all changes
made hereunder in our tax laws up TO
1917 must be approved by the people
themselves after passage by the leg
islature and their approval may be
made a condition after that time, so
that the whole matter rests In the
hands Of the people.
I'VE consider the amendment nee

" 8ce "oTe 'o"o " poy "SNC
taxes" I
A simple careless expression in a
San Francisco newspaper caused a
revolution Of feeling and brought
about the change which all Califor
Mans are now proud of
The newspaper referred to printed
an article to the effect that the same
old Constitutional Amendment wouiG
be voted on at the November election
and added facetiously that the Cow
Counties" would probably vote for it,
and treated it as Joke.
The newspaper evidently underesti
mated the power Of the Cow Coun-
ties" as this little attempt at witticism
made the Cow Counties" sit up and
take notice.
The people in 1.-The Cow Counties"
commenced to ask themselves: Why
Is ii that farm lands and town prop
erty pay the bulk of taxes? Why are
the owners of stocks. bonds, notes and
other personal property able to get OFF
scott free?
Have we a uniform system of taxa
tion in practice as well as in name?
And such like questions.
Well, the result was the Cow Coun-
ties" in California determined to throw
off the yoke and the amendment was
overwhelmingly carried.

thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the full clutch of circumstance
have not WINGED or cried aloud;
Under the bludeeoninss of chance
My head is bleeding but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
II matters not how straight the gate.
How charged with punishment the
scroll,
am the master OF my fate
am the captain OF my soul.

b 30-629 DAYS

Sunday October 18th was the
day set aside in all the churches
as Inhrmary Day. 1t is the one
Sunday of the year when a spe-
cial plea is made from the pull
pits to meet the needs of this
worthy and necessary institution.
No one unless familiar with the
work done there has any idea of
its far reaching charity and the
constant care and work it means
to continue it. The expenses
for the year closing October LIST
were $405S. The revenue from
county and city appropriation and
pay patients reached $3347 and

that there may be a thousand
members to the ass""iatiCn at a
dollar a member; till now the
most there have ever been is
2S4. Won't you when you read
this resolve at once to join the
rank and send your dollar to the
treasurer, Mrs. G. d. Simmons?
Some good friends make liberal
annual subscriptions. Count the
infirmary in when considering
your donation for the coming
year, and visit there and see for
yourself what it means to this
community, and most of all,
what it would mean. adv

burden of taxation fell heavily on the

Kentucky, it was hard to arouse the

Backward, Turn Backward

Backward, turn backward O.,
Time, in your flight;
Give us a girl whose dresses are
not tight;
Give us girl whose charms,
many or few
Are not expressed by too much
peek-a-bOo;
Give us a girl, no matter what

Who won't use the streets as a
vaudeville stage.
Give us girl not too sharply in

Dressed up in skirts that the sun
can't shine through Ex.
