Bible? did not suppose there was
commissioner of the revenue I'm the
State who did not have copy OF the
Bible he could use in the PERFORM
ance of hts duties. In fact. was in
hope every commissioner of the reve-

use this book, take my advice and
start at once You will find it the
most profitable and helpful book you
ever read. BY means take nay
