Once upon a time there lived a
beautiful princess whose fathers
country extended from one ocean to
the other. 1t was full Of happy peo-
pie. but the king was very sad. And
the reason was that his only child.
was impossible for her ever to walk.
All day long h lay in a bed Of
softest silk on a mattress of pillows
sturred with swans down.. But still
she did nothing but moan, for the
touch OF even the softest thing seemed
to hurt ner. The poor king was all
most Wild with worry, and the queen
grew so era that all the hair dressers
in the kingdom could not keep her
curls brown.
Cecil was a poor boy, who worked
about the gardens. He had seen the
princess n felt very sorry for her
as he worked over his flowers. All
was he Of the plants that he some
times imagined that they talked
among themselves. One day hi saw
growing a very strange plant which
ne had never seen before. Its stem was
or silver, its leaves of gold and on
top was a tiny u of pearl filled
with what seemed a sweet dew.
So. without thinking, the boy
plucked the bloom and drank the dew.
1t had an d effect, for as soon as
he had swallowed it he found he
could hear everything going on
around him-the grass growing, the
leaves signing and the whispers of the
roses. Even the chat of the butter
flies and insects he understood.
AS Cecil went about he saw that
another plant was covered with spider
webs. so he got his broom and was
about to brush the web away when
the mother spider came running out
from under a leaf.
oh! what shall I do?" she cried
and Cecil knew every word she said.
That great man is going to destroy
my home and my babies.''
"Oh, no." said Cecil. laying down

Without waiting a moment Cecil ran
as fast as his legs could carry him to
where a black stream of water
whtrled around and around at a dizzy
rate. Logs were floating by and dis

Cecil reached up and pulled it to-

lustrous folds. then the log went
plunging IN, and at asst raced out OF
the stream and into q river, across
which 1t peacefully floated. The boy
looked about ana found he wa at the

WHAT ID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
 TVO PUBLIC JOBS GOING BEGGING

Judge Light wrote to Gov, Hays and suggested the names of J. W. Seay of Walcott and Bedford Malin of Halliday. Tn the meantime Judge Light communicated with Seay and Malin and notified them he had recommended them for appointment on the board. Instant and some what emphatic replies were received from both these gentlement to the effect that they had other and more pressing business engagements, consequently they declined to sit as a board of review to adjust the as sessments.
 "It begins to look like we will have to dispense with the annual equalization of assessments" re- marked Judge Light this morning. ''The county clerk must have the as sessment books by October 1, in or der to get his work on them finish ed in time for the levying court that convenes on the third Monday in October. Even if the equaliza- ton board began work now it could hardly complete it's labors by Octo- Der 1. The law provides for ap- peals from changes made by the equalization board and that would require additional time. I have not looked up the law and consequently cannot say whether or not the fail ure of the equalization board to re- view the tax assessments will com plicate matters. However, I feel sure this failure will not operate to prevent any taxpayer from coming before the county court for any ad- justment he may wish to have made in his assessments. Still, if the equalization board does not sit to make changes it is hard to figure how any taxpayer could be dissatis- fled with the assessment, because it

stands on the books just like he himself turned it in. I will take the matter up with the state tax commission and ask their advice on the situation.
 "The assessment returns have not yet been totaled, but from what in- formation I now have I am positive the total assessed valuation of prop erty in Greene county is much low CT than it was last year This will, of course, mean decreased revenues for the county and to that extent will embarrass the officials in car rying on the afafirs of the county government"
 It is understood the gentlemen who declined to serve on the equal ization board did not care to offend their friends by raising their assess ments, and an additional reason is found in the fact that the compen- sation of three dollars a day in county scrip is hardly enough tC pay board in Paragould while en- gagged in the work.

 MT. Knox was born in Tennessee and his people were originally from North Carolina. Twenty-siX years ago the family moved to Arkansas from Obion county, Tenn, and To- cated in Paragould, where they have since resided.
 During his active years Mir, Knox was a leader in business, religious and educational life of the city and county. He and his family have al ways been found on the side of ev- cry public issue that made for the betterment Of ParagOuld and it's people.
 Of a family of thirteen children, six are living and are among the most prosperous and progressive cit izens of the community. Five of them reside in Paragould, namely@ A. A. Knox, Misses Jennie, Tabbie and Nola Knox and Mrs. E. D. burn. They are now and have al- ways been identified with the so- cial, commercial and industrial life of the city, and few persons have contributed as much as they to the true development of the communi- ty.
 The health of the senior Knox is now reasonably good, he being able to sit up most of the day and he takes as much interest in the af- fairs of the world as at any time in his life.
