TO THE TAXPAYERS OF
RANKIN COUNTY,

Several inquiries have been
received at this office for the
amount Of taxes for the year
1916, but as the roll is still in the
hands of the State Tax Commits
sion Board and has not been ap-
proved, we cannot accurately
give the amount of taxes, as we
cannot tell what changes this
board may make. Therefore, L
take this method of replying to
all. But the books for commuta-
tion is now open and l am ready
to receive same.
Yours respectfully,
S. D. Donnell, Sheriff.

Worlds Biggest Circus and Spec
taCle "CindereIla" Announced
for Early Date.

Announcement is made that on
Thursday, November 2, Ringling
Bros. circus will give afternoon
and night performances at jack
son.
The famous showmen are this
season presenting an all new and
wonderful program. The tre-
mendous fairyland spectacle,
Cinderella, will appeal to both
young and old. More than 1000
persons take part in it. 1t is
easily the biggest spectacle
Ringing Bros. have ever staged
and it's glorious Ballet of the
Fairies" with 800 dancing girls,
is in itself worth going many
miles to see. Following "Cin-
derella" 400 arenic artists appear
in the main tent program. Be.
cause of the great European war
the Ringlings have secured scores
of circus performers never be-
fore seen in America. An entire
trained animal show has been
made a part of the main tent
program this season. The me-
nagerie now numbers 1000 wild
animals. The elephants, includ-
ing big Bingo." the earth's

Mothers are sometimes so
thoughtless as to neglect the
colds which their children con-
tract. The Inflammation of the
mucus membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease
that is seldom cured and that
may prove a life's burden. Many
persons who have this loathsome
disease will remember having
had frequent colds at the time it
was contracted. A little fore
thought, a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy judiciously
used, and all this trouble might
have been avoided. Obtainable
everywhere.

| and Prof. E. P. Hit. Mr.. Hit,
we are sorry to say, is now in
| in the hospital and in very crit
ical condition. the physicians be-
llieving that there is no hope of
his recovery. Mr.. and Mrs.
| Robson are quite we'll, and
asked to be kindly remembered
to everybody in dear old Ran
| kin.
Among those from Rankin
| county who attended the ground
breaking of the Mississippi Cen
tennial at Gulfport last week,
were Hons. J. J. Daniel, presi-
dent board of supervisors; w. H.
Till, member Of the board from
beat 4; Hon. w. G. Ellis, A. P.
Dear, Mr.. and Mrs. Singletary,
R. G. Berry and DR.. Crawley, of
Florence; Dick Mckay, of Pela-
hatchie; DR.. w. HI. Boone, of

son; H. H. Bullock, Mr.. and Mrs.
| G. C. Sprague, Mrs. and Mrs. w.
IS. May, of Brandon; Capt. E.
10. White, of Langford. They
all report a great time, and are
determined to visit the magic
cities again as soon as the great
exposition opens.
In every large crowd there is
always some one who assumes
the role of entertaining the folks,
| and the Mississippi Centennial
special which went down to Gulf
port last week, was no exception
to the rule. The Honorable Mr..
Strife, county treasurer of Win
ston county, assumed the re-
sponsibility on this special occa-
sion to furnish a little extra mer-
riment. With his inimitable
laugh and fairly good ability to
tell a story, he succeeded admira-
bly, in keeping good part of the
| crowd awake. Mr.. Till, of Pela-
hatchie, came very near master
ing Mr.. Strite's laugh, and no
doubt he will be pleased to give
any of our readers a demonstra-
ton simply for the asking.
Agreeable to a request from
| the attorney general, Circuit
Clerk Lindsey has compiled data
on liquor shipments into Rankin
county from May l, 1915, to Oc-
tober /, 1915, and from May l,
1916, to October 1, 1916, the OBJ
lject of the inquiry being to as
certain the difference in the
amounts received during the five
months of the tyo years From
May 1, 1913, to October 1, 1915,
767 gallons of whisky, 2 quarts
of wine, so cases of beer, 6 kegs
beer, 6 barrels beer, 3 boxes
beer, 16 casks beer and 164 bot
ties of beer. From May l, 1916,
to DC .ober l, 1916, during which
time the new liquor law has been
in effect, the following amounts
were received: 425 gallons of
whisky, 6 quarts wine and 4,671
pints of beer. From these fig
ures, which are taken from the
official records at the court house,
lit will be seen that the new law
has greatly reduced the consump-
ton of whisky and beer in this
county-in fact, it has cut the
supply nearly half in two. The
new law is not a perfect one by
any means, but it is helping the
cause of temperance, and in our
judgment should be sustained by
the vote of every man who be-
lieves in the great cause that is
being fostered by the christian
people and leaders of this move
ment.

The present franchise OF the Water Supply Company ex
pires on April LIST. 1915
Before then the citizens OF Albuquerque must therefore
decide whether or not they are satisfied with the present ar
arrangement for obtaining water and not how their neceS
sites can best be served.
When the Water Supply Company got its present tran
chse the demand for water was small the cost OF equppng
the plant was high and the enterprise was Improbable tor
many years. The demand of recent years has increased
the cost OF production has been CORRESPONDENCE reduced
although the cost of construction and extensions nee
essated by the growth Of the city has more than counter
balanced the reduction in the cost Of water.
The Water Supply Company several years ago and again
recently offered to reduce the rates, provided they could
be assured Of the continuity Of operation, but the citizens
have never been offered an opportunity by the Council to
express an opinion on any new franchise
The City Council, without asking the opinion of the ctl
zens as the merits Of the lower rates offered by the Wa
Ter Company says: BORROW S400, 900 AND BUY OR
BUILD OUR OWN PLANT Why?
The only reasons why any city should 90 in debt for
the purpose Of obtaining water are:
FIRST-A city absolutely must have plentiful supply
Of good, pure water.
SeCOnd-The city must have rendered it good service
and ample pressure for fire fighting, ETC.

FRED TERRY LAID AT REST
Funeral Impressive And We'll Attended.

The funeral of Fred Terry, Santa Fe fireman who lost his life in the wreck on the Canyon Branch last Saturday night, was held Tuesday afternoon at the home of Pete Burns, brother-in-law of the de- ceased. The services were a com- bination of the ritual of the Bro- therhood of Locomotive Bremen and Engineers ard that of the methodist Church, Rev. Hoffpauir officiating for the church.
 The requirements of the corners office caused some delay in begin ming the services as it was thot ad- visable to hold an inquest on the body for the purpose of determin- ing in an official way the cause of death. Arrangements had been made for the services to begin at 2 o'clock but on account of the in- quest they were not begun until 3 80 o'clock.
 Between three and four hundred friends were present on the sad oc- casion, about half of whom joined the processian to the cemetery. The last rites were finished al about 5 o'clock.
 Fred Terry came to Arizona from Milwaukee several years ago for his Mife's health. His home was in Grand Canyon. He was a very likable man and had made many friends in Arizona who join those nearer related to him in mourning his untimely death.

CLOUD.BURST CAUSES
 CANYON ROAD WRECK
Fireman Fred Terry Loses His Life 4000 feet of track washed out.

As the evening train on the Can yon road was making the run from, Grand Canyon to Williams last Saturday night it ran into a flood between Anita and Willaha which, had been caused by a cloud burst The speed of the train was slacken-- ed and engineer w. E. Oswald felt his way along, but on reaching and entering upon a bridge over Red Horse Wash the engine went down taking engineer Oswald with it and fastening fireman Fred Terry between engine and tender. Engineer Oswald escaped from the wreck without serious injury but before fireman Terry could be re- leased he was enveloped in steam from bursting pipe and scalded to death.
 The cloud-burst filled the can- yor thru which the railroad runs along this stretch to a depth of more than 15 feet and with width of 200 feet to a half mile. The force of the current down the canyon washed out about 4OOo feet of track and three bridges. The cloud-burst was accompanied by hail in large quantities. The subsiding flood left hail hanks several feet deep.
 The passengers on the wrecked train were taken back to Grand Canyon where they remained until Monday p. m. when arrangements had been made to transfer them around the gap in the track and bring them into Williams. Re- pairs on the track were begun at. once and will be completed by Saturday when service will be re- stunned.

MRS. B0zENA ALLEN FOR
 co. SUPT. 0F SCHOOLS

At the earnest solicitation of friends, Mrs. Bozena Allen, (Mrs. F. o. AlIen), has consented to make the race for the nomination for County Superintendent of Schools on the Republican ticket.
 Mrs. Allen is a splendid woman and one of the popular members of the Flagstaff Woman's Club, which is undoubtedly one of the best organizations of the kind in the state. She has demonstrated her natural executive ability in numerous successful undertakings and has the happy faculty of bring ing her jovial, whole-souled, sunny nature to bear on many of the cold, frosty problems that have confront ed her, with the result there was a general thawing and a pleasant way out for all concerned. A happy faculty is very necessary in public life.
 While Mrs. Allen is naturally fond of home life, the 1nsistent re- quest of friends and the exigencies of the occasion, prevailed and she consented to make the race for the office. As in all her undertakings, having agreed to become a candi- date, will make every effort toward bringing about successful con- clusion to her first effort in the DO. litical world, with a personal prac- cal need behind the effort.
 She has been a resident of Flag staff for the past seven years and during that time has demonstrated her ability as high class musician, both vocal and instrumental, and has given freely of her talents to all charitable or other entertain ments which needed her ability to forward the movement.
 Mrs. Allen is thoroughly com. potent to fill the office and will give a most creditable account ol herself if the people see fit to cleo her to the place.

EVIDENCE OF LONGEVITY
To The Williams News MT. Editor:-


 Sitting in row of seats at the Sultana Theater Sunday night were 7 bachelors. In this statement alone there is nothing so remarkable but I would add that they were old timers of Will Hams, having lived here during all the exciting times of those former evil and historical days. This of itself has no great significance, either, but the most wonderful part is this: that the com bined time that these 2 gentlemen sitting in row at the picture show, had lived in Williams aggregated more than 150 years, and the combined ages of the gentlemen was more than 400 years.
 Williams is noted for the long evity of its people.
