STORY OF
NUMBER 40

Forty years ago an old doctor was
putting UP a medicine for diseases of
the blood, that cured the worst cases
Of specific blood poison, and time
proved that the cures were permanent.
After many years I secured the pre-
scrtption Cbeing druggist), and took
each ingredient separate and referred
to my q. s. Dispensatory and other
books on medicine and found the me-
dical properties set down as follows:
Employed IN diseases of the glandu-
lar system, In blood poison, scrofula,
chronic rheumatism and catarrh, IN
sores, ulcers, skin eruptions, mercu-
rial and lead poisoning. Under It's
use nodes, tumors and scrofuIous
sweIlings that have withstood all 9TH
er treatment disappear as If by mag
ic." To commemorate my fortieth
year as druggist named this med
icine Number 40 For the Blood. ]. @

Two additional bridges were provid-

ing this morning. One of these Will

ON the road from Mt, Pleasant to the
county line and for this bridge $1,S6O
was appropriated. i will be of con-
crete.
The other bridge, for which $697
was appropriated, will be located on
the new county highway between Ked-

aor both bridges was unanimous.
When the court met this morning
there were just three absentees, JUS
tices Alexander, Brooks and Grove.
Judge Alexander is sick, and so is
Justice Brooks, while Justice Grove
was forced to be in Nashville in at
tendance upon the federal court.
Prayer was offered by Justice Ross,

reported by Justice Denton to be
$39O.57, an average cost per inmate

during the past yea" new JAIL at a
cost of nearly $4,000, and a turnpike
/ at cost of $4,000 have been paid for,
otherwise the county's debt would
have been reduced by the total of
these two items. However, in addi-
ton, there is a warrant due next fall
for $4,000 and interest thereon for the
payment of the Sowell Mill pike that
must be met This additional tax levy
will soon meet all these floating obliga-
lions and place the county upon a
strictly pay as you go basis
These, explanations, we trust, will
be sufficient to convince the members
of the court of the necessity for and
the wisdom of making the increases
which we have recommended. We
believe that we confront a condition
that should be met just as prudent
business men in their private affairs
would meet it. We are encountered
with debt and we ought to arrange our
affairs so that we will take care of
the debt and stop the endless payment
of interest. The county is abundantly
able and we believe the people entirely
willing to meet all of the Just obliga-
lions and to meet them in a business
like way. Taxes are never popular
and we realize that courts and legis-
latures are slow to increase them,
but where the necessity therefor is
plain and the demand imperative, only
by lodging manifest duty, can we
avoid making the increases. Your
committee has preferred to meet the
issue squarely and directly and it
earnestly hopes that this court will
approve its conclusions.

Saturdays Daily.)

At the meeting of the tax levy com
mittee held in the county court this
morning the tax levy for 1916 to bt
recommended to the county court al
its meeting on Monday was agreed
upon. Four of the five members of the
committee, Justice Mullins, Taylor
McKibbon and Guest, were present
and the action of the committee was
unanimous.
With the aid of County Attorney
Whitthorne, the committee went fully
into the finances and needs of the
county and agreed that it was absolute
ly necessary that there should be an
increase in the tax rate. This is due
to the fact that there are still out
standing $12,500 of old bridge war
rants that are bearing six per cent
semi-annual interest with no funds to
meet them. 1t also appeared that the
floating debt of the county should be
reduced and paid off and interest
saved.
The committee also found that there
was absolutely no fund provided for
any school buildings in the county.
Due to the passage of the Cookeville
school bill the county high school
funds were also found inadequate.
The members of the committee were
of opinion that the county should meet
it's obligations and not continue to pay
six per cent interest. The following
levy was therefore recommended.
State tax, 35 cents: county tax, 80
cents school tax County, 25 cents;
schol tax (state), Is cents; highway
16 cents; high school tax, cents;
sinking fund tax, 10 cents; bridge tax
Ito retire old debit, 5 cents; floating
debt, 10 cents.
The only member of the committee
absent was Justice Grove, of the Third
district.
