portant suit instituted in accordance
with the provisions of the state in
heritance tax law, after litigation ex-
tending over several months, has been
won by States Attorney Martin Bergh,
of this county. After losing in the
county court in this city the admins
traitor Of the estate of the late Jason
Lee Rankin has decided, upon the ad-
vice Of the attorneys for the estate to
pay the inheritance tax Of $752. so levied
on the estate and not to continue the
litigation.
Rankin was an eastern man, who
died some months ago, and who had a
great deal of property in South Dako-
ia. That part of his estate situated in
South Dakota is valued at SOC, $50. and
$4,000 of this is in government bonds.

tax of $752. SO on the estate after $40, 900
had been held exempt. The attorneys
for the estate held that no portion of

be taxed, and that as there were less
h a $4,000 left after the government
bonds were deducted, no tax could be
levied against the estate.

This, no doubt, is the work of an Or

The reasons set forth are very strong
arguments favoring home patronage.
See the editor in your town about

may result in starting some on the

2. You can examine your purchases

Sermon.

For the last time Rev. George l..
Slime has spoken in the United Breth
rem church or this city. Sunday the
farewell exercises We're held, the
morning services being held in the
church and the evening program held
in the open air
At the morning service Rev. Slime
gave his farewell benedictiOn. He
took as his subject, 1.-The Grace of
the Lord Jesus Christ BE With You
All" He spoke forcibly on the ques-
ton. and the large crowd listened at
tentively. Visitors from all the
churches were present at the morning
meeting. When the evening service
was called the largest crowd of the
year was present on the church lawn.
Automobiles and vehicles OF all kinds
were lined Oh the street. Special
music was on the program.
Sunday evenings sermon was one
of the best that has been heard in this
city. Common Dangers" was the
theme of the Rev. Stine's talk. His
sermon was divided into four heads;
the first, not forgiying others; sec
ond, too great self esteem; the value
Of being too humble: third, treasurer
in this world and not in the next, and
last, lovers of pleasure more than
lovers of God.
His talk WIS exceedingly interesting
and instructive. All present appreci-
ated Rev. Shines effort very much.
Rev. Slime and his family will leave
this city Thursday morning for Hi
nois. His wife will visit her mother
and he will attend a conference at
Rossville, Ill. The family will move
to the west on Monday, Aug. "A.
| While in this city Rev. Slime has
been one of the powers in local churcl
and civic circles. A citizen wortl
having will be lost to Crawfordsyill,
when he leaves to take up work in
larger field. The manner in which h,
did his work in this city assures loca
people that he will "make good' il
his new field.

speaks very highly OF him. He i

cality.
