FARM CREDIT THE BEST

Experience has shown that farm
credit is Of the highest. Interest on
mortgages on farms is always paid,
they always are amply secured, and
the principal is paid when due.
Not only is the security good, but
it is constantly increasing in value.
Whereas in 1890 the mortgages on
southern farms were 40 per cent. or
more of their value, in 1910 the
average amount of each mortgage
has been so decreased and values
has so increased that the mortgage
was only about % per cent Of the
average value. In other words, the
average southern farm is worth
four times the mortgage on it." So
says the final authority on this SUBJ
ject, Orange Judd Southern Farm
ing. II adds: ITO advertise these
facts will be one function OF the
new system. Its bonds secured by
first mortgages on our good SOUTH
ern farms, should gradually become
a most popular investment for small
sums or large. Every individual
should aim 10 own a federal farm
loan bond, il only to the amount OF
S25 or more. Let these farmland
bonds become the peoples savings
bank. They are tax free, safe
should be quickly salable when
cash is needed, and yield an assured
income.
MANY thousands OF our people
throughout the South now fritter
away uselessly or put into losing
ventures, sums from s25 or $50 up
500 or $1,000. If only little Of the
money, which now Is thus more or
less wasted is safely invested in Al
southern farm bonds, the money
will stay right here and will be
used 10 build up the country"

HUGH WALL FOR JUDGE.

The Sentinel has reliable infor-
nation that in the event of the ap-
pointment of the present circuit
court judge, Judge ]. B. Holden, to
the supreme court bench, which
appears to be a settled fact, that
Wall will be a candidate to succeed
Judge Holden. 1t is also under
stood that Mr.. Wall will not lay
aside the duties of his present
office, that of district attorney,
which he has so vigorously and
satisfactorily filled, while making
the canvass for the judgeship.
Hugh V. Wall is among the most
popular and esteemed men in this
district and commands the respect
of high and low alike. Ever since
he has been district attorney he
has discharged its every duty with
vigor and fidelity, bringing to bear
profundity of acumen, force of
earnestness and familiarity with
the law that almost invariably won
convictions, yet he was ever mind
full that Justice should be temper
ed with mercy. In the event he
should be elevated to the bench,
his legion of friends are fully con-
fdent that he would wear the judi
cial ermine with the same high de-
gree of honor, ability and fitness
that has characterized his occupan-
cy of the district attorneys office.

The First Baptist church here

would begin the work the first of

last day of December, and have
had three Sundays on the field.
Two of them, and especially yes
terday have been bad days, but the
Sunday school, and the congre-
cations at the preaching services
have been very satisfactory; in
fact on the good day the house was
packed.
The first work of the church
will be to build a pastors home.
Plans have already been adopted,
and the house will soon be started

NOT RUSHING TO PAY AUTO TAX.
Sheriff Says Car Owners Are Making
a Big Kick Time Limit Out
on February 1.

Sheriff w. Ed. Smith says that
the auto owners of the county are
not running over themselves in
their efforts to pay what is called
the road and bridge privilege tax
for the year 1916.
Mr.. Smith says that the owners OF
autos in general do not take kindly
to the tax, anyway, on account of
the fact that they are already pay
ing personal taxes on their ma
chimes and that the car drivers
consider they are being oppressed
and singled out in thus paying
double taxes on the same piece.
He says that some of them reason
it out that a wagon or a buggy
has just as much right to be
paid for twice in the same year as
has the man who owns car, who
generally considers he has a whole
"bushel of trouble, " as we'll as eX-
pense, in keeping his buzz wagon
in such shape that it can manipu-
late an ordinary piece of good road
much less pay the double tax on
the machine.
Some of the car owners expect
the Legislature to rescind their
former action, but in the meantime
Mr.. Smith has to carry out the
mandates of the law and will, have
to collect taxes from all car owners,
or after Feb. l he has the power to
arrest them and coniscate their
machines this day being the time
limit allowed by the act.

JUDGE HOLDEN pRETERMITS
FEBRUARY COURT IN WAL LTHALL

Pursuant to a numerously- sign
ed petition from lawyers, officials
and other citizens of Walthall
County who deemed it to the best
advantage of the County, Judge ].
B. Holden has ordered the February
Term of Circuit Court pretermitted.
The circumstances which make
possible and expedient the prefer
mitting of the approaching term of
Court are a healthy indication of
the County so far as crime is con-
cerned and a strong sentiment to
reduce the expenses of the County
in so far as practicable. This
meets with the decided approval of
Judge Holden, who, during his in
cumbency as Circuit Judge of the
Fourteenth Judicial District, has
practiced policy of strict econo-
my by expediting the business of
his Court wherever commensurate
with good judgement and justice
and fair dealing with all concern
ed.
1t is generally conceded that
Judge Holden's prospects for ap-
pointment to the Supreme Bench
are decidedly promising, and we
hope that his worthy aspirations in
this direction may be gratifed.
His dignity of bearing, judicial
temperament and absolute fairness
have won for him the esteem of
the people of the Judicial District
over which he presides as judge
and the congratulations and best
wishes of his many friends and ac-
quaintances will follow him in his
elevation to the bench of the high
est tribunal in the State-Tyler-
town Times.
