Miss May Adams.

We regret the death of Miss May
Adams. daughter of Tax Assessor j.
d. Adams, who died Monday, Jan. 8,
after very short illness. She was
taken sick on Thursday before her
death, and the efforts of three physi-
clans were of no avail. Interment was
made in the Gillian Cemetery, Ed
Anderson conducting the services, and
made most sympathetic address. She
was 30 years and six months old, and
was the life and joy of all who knew
her, entering heartily into the hap
piness of life with bright and lively
ways. She was not member of any
one church, but was protested believ-
er In the doctrines of christianity. II
was a severe blow to the lest Of the
family to lose her from their midst,
but in these days when the world il
shaken with suffering, and crime and
misery in an unprecedented manner,
1T seems mercy of providence to be
allowed to leave il. We trust that the
future for May will open like a vista
OF flower crowded garden, and that
she has missed the trials and tempts-
tions of this earth.

THE PEOPLE ON GUARD.

The coming election is being
anxiously awaited by the voters
of Marion for several reasons.
One of them is that being deni'
ed the right to vote for OF
against the Internal bond is
sue, they want to see what they
can do at the polls to the perpe-
traitors of the outrage, or any
man in sympathy with them,
and another reason is that they
cannot understand why it is nec-
essary to pay $4,000 in good
money to stave off the payment
of anything on the internal bond
issue for six years. Why is it
necessary to pay one-fourth of
the principal to avoid paying any
thing on the principal? Is Mar
ion so poor that it cannot begin
paying it's debts? This scheme
of soothing affected feelings by
postponing payment and thereby
reducing the tax rate for the
present is making people suspi-
cious. The giant intellect which
is manipulating this internal
bond issue surely is not laying
the path for another of the same
ilk. The money on hand to &C.
complish this colossal feat is &C.
knowledged to be insufficient.
It is about 10c on the dollar on
the job, and the bond promoters
know it. In fact, they have &C
knowledged publicly that they
haven't got enough money for
the job. So the people are
watching with keen eye the fun
that is coming, and propose to
administer such a rebuke at the
polls as will never be forgotten.
In August and November there
will be no Chancery or Supreme
Courts in charge of the question.
Each voter in this county who
feels himself outraged, and they
are everywhere, will have his
voice in the matter, and the,
courts won't be known in the
race. Mark the prediction, the
people are going to try to come
into their own and down the
crowd that wants to bind them
hand and foot with letters of
gold.

As "Uncle Blue" has been silent
for years, it is no reason he can't
sting at the right time. Now, l want
to say this, that talk in Whitwell is
the only cheap article we have here
now. Talking about your neighbor is
no good. If you can't say something
TO build up the character Of person,
for Gods sake keep your mouth shut.
Don't tell anything that will throw a
slur on girl COR woman. Hold them
up. If you have to say anything let
it be something good. I have been in
Marion county all my life and you
never heard my name in any tales
against woman. Let Us build up
the reputation of our women and girls
and not try to bring them to destruct-
ion by letting our tongues fly loose.
Let us think before we tell John any
thing, for John will tell Bill and Bill
will tell Joe, and by and by every
body gets hold of the tale and gives it
a shake. Think about how many
shakes tale, when it starts it never
stops shaking. 1t is nothing to tho
writer whatever, only to hold for the
up building of woman, especially the
wife of some man, and let us hope
that nothing of the kind shall arise
any more.
Well, learn that Dunlap mines are
out for better conditions. Someone

want to say this, "Uncle Blue" is
solid man, man for the up-building
of our country. not to tear it down. 1t
seems that the most of the people have
laid down the Word of God and have
drifted off after the things of this
world and the works of the devil. My
friends, just think for moment, who
holds the slender cord of life between
you and our all mighty Father. How
quick could that cord be clipped.

WHY | AM A BAPTIST.

E litor News:
These twelve marks of the apostolic
church is why l am Primitive Bap
tist:
LIST mark. The apostolic church
consisted only of persons who nae
been convicted of sin by the Holy
Ghost. and who had given signs OF re-
pentence towards God and faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ, as the Son of God.
end mark. True baptism, the i'm
mersion of believers in water in the
name of the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost.
Bird mark. Members being baptized
believers came frequently around the
Lords table to commemorate the suf-
fering and death of their precious Re-
dsemer by partaking of the common
bread, representing His broken body,
and common wine to represent His
shed blood for them.
4th mark. The maintenance OF
strict discipline.
9TH mark. The Independent or con-
gregation policy or government OF
each local church, subject only to the
headship of Christ, all the local apos-
tolio churches being united by no out
ward bond of force, but by an inward
bond of love.
9th mark. The religious liberty,
soul freedom, complete separation OF
church and state, the entire independ-
ence of each church from all state con-
troll so far as regards the membership,
ministry, organization, faith, worship
and discipline of the church.
18th mark. With a few exceptions
the members were generally poor. OBJ
scure, unlearned, afflicted despised
and prosecuted.
Sth mark. The fraternal equality.
the essential priesthood of all the
members, in accordance with which
fact they choose to Office among them
those of their members whom they
perceive to be already qualified there
unto by the spirit of God, there being
but two classes of officers, elders or
pastors. and deacons, the fraternal
equality of all the members involving
the eternal equality of the ministry.
9th mark. Possession of an humble,
God-called and God.qualitied minis
try.
10th mark. That while the minis
tiers receive voluntary help from the
churches, they are not salaried, but
labor themselves. more or less, for
their own support.
18th mark. The sending out of the
divinely called and qualified ministry
BY the holy spirit in themselves, and
in the churches, their going forth
whithersoever the Lord directed them
in simple dependence upon Him. and
their preaching the Gospel to every
creature, whether Jew or GENTLE, and
especially shepherding the lambs aud
sheep of Christ.
18th mark. That it, the church,
was absolutely the only divinely re-
cognized religious organization the
world.
These marks as applied to the apos-
tolic church, are fully sustained by
the new testament and for proof the
reader is referred to the standard of
faith and practice, the Bible.
Question is there a church today
that bears these marks. Measure the
denominations around you, and answer
the question in your own conscience.

1t is now very probable that
the much abused road to Tracy
City via the Cumberland Noun
tain road here will get a little
State assistance as a result of
the new automobile tax. The
funds accruing from this tax are
to be spent in establishing state
highways between the various
county seats. Of course the hos
tile interests may pursuade the
State officials to lay out the coun-
ty seat route between Jasper and
Tracy City via Battle Creek and
Monteagle, but it is to be hoped
they will not try to influence the
route. The distance from JAS
per to Tracy City via Sequachee
is 18 miles, while via Battle
Creek it is nearly 80 miles. The
amount of money to be spent,
however, will not be large, al
though some further fund will
come from Grundy County. If
the money is divided proportion
ateIy over the various roads in
the county to the various seats
there would be nearly 5000 avail
able from Marion County auto
tax for the Tracy City road. We
speak of Tracy as a county seat
because a large portion of the
court proceedings of Grundy
County are held in that place.

DODGING TAXES
IN GERMANY

Frankfort on the Main, Germany,
Nov. 10.-Beating the government out
of taxes by the more or less simple
process of changing the character of
ones business-from limited liabil-
ity corporation to a partnership and
back again stax day approaches--is
the latest wrinkle in tax lodging.
One firm in Muehlheim- on the
Main, the owner of which is a resident
of Frankfort, has pursued the plan so
successfully that he is alleged to have
cheated the government legally out Of
between two and three million marks
since the beginning Of fhe war.
TO prevent him from further evad-
ing taxes the mayor of Mueh1heim has
petitioned the Hessian legislature to
enact some emergency legislation
which shall prevent him from again
the character Of his business
and escaping once more with his war
profits intact.
The man in question owns a plant
that originally made steel screws. and
that with the beginning of the war
was commissioned by the government
to repair broken parts Of guns and
cannon. At the end of June, 1915, the
firm, then a corporation, had made a
net profit of three and a half million
marks.
On the basis of these profits, the
firm was assessed for a total Of 337, 600
marks on it's prospective business be-
tween April /. and March 81, 1917. To
evade this payment, the proprietor
liquidated his business, had himself
appointed as receiver-and blossomed
out as partnership. BY the time the

Mr.. Balfour brif1y denied the state
ments that the British navy had ao-
cepted a passive role in the war, say
ing the Germans had refused to allow
their ships to meet the British. Re-
ferring to the recent raid by German
torpedo craft in the English channel,
Mr.. Balfour said:
"1t did not disturb our transport
services for moment"
The first lord of the admiralty said
he would not say that such a raid
could not be repeated, but that IL II
were the Germans would not be able
to get out of the channel again with
