 Tanner Bros. sell carloads of meats and vegetables. They raise most of the vege- tables themselves, and give more for the money than most dealers. Their meats are the best that can be purchased in the wholesale market. Their prices are shaved the closest possible. All these facts enumerated above go to make up the sequel as to why Tanner Bros do such large volume of business. And now they are asking their patrons to help lower prices still more by "toting'' their own goods where possible. They too, are at an enormous expense each month via the delivery route. All the brothers are workers; there are no slackers in the firm. That's why they succeed.

Marketing Organization
 to Be Formed in Eufaula

Eufaula, July 20-(SpeciaL) L)-Plans are under way here for a hog marketing or ganization that will greatly simplify the assembling and sales of live stock by the farmers who will cooperate in the manager who will conduct all the affairs or the organization and establish a con tlnuous and ready market for hogs as well as any other livestock. In this way the small as we'll as the larger stock raiser will have advantage of the best price the market offers and at any time of the year. The plans for the new or ganization are being furthered by l.. T. Wells, the new farm demonstrator for the county, who was recently appointed and who is already making his efforts for better farm methods felt throughout the county. He is specializing on live stock raising and hopes to see this in- dustry greatly increased within the next year.
 AS the result of the condemning of the foot bridge between Eufaula and the Georgia side of the Chattahoochee river by number of engineers, the city coun- ell IS proceeding with plans for the re- pair of the bridge, which will mean an expenditure of about $3OO0. Although the bridge is entirely on Georgia territory. it is owned outright by the city, and is very important to the retail trade here. as practically all the trade from a dis tance of 20 miles comes this way. The expense of repairing the bridge will be shared by the city. the county and by public subscriptions.
 The supply of spot cotton is now at it's lowest ebb in three years, or since the big 1914 crop began to fill up every ware house and vacant storehouse in the city. Many who have held their cotton since that date have been unloading lately at prices around 25 cents and better Even with the small supply the residue has greater value than that generally held at this season of the year. Several lots are held that would bring over $5OOOO

Timing the Tynist

From the Popular Scientist Monthly.
 Inventors have tried for years to put a counter on the typewriter to estimate the speed of the typist. but the efforts have always been confined to count of the words written. A ,e- gently patented device. called cy- clometer, counts every stroke which the typist makes on the keyboard. It is, fastened to the escapement wheel of the typewriter. This wheel does not move when the carriage is showed backward and forward.
 One firm employing 50 typists found that it's work was below normal by cyclometer count and later that it had some very rapid typists and some very slow ones. The rate of pay had always been based on the number of years ct service, and many of the slow ones were being paid for the work done by the rapid operators. This. of course, was quickly adjusted.

OLD AMENDMENT HAS
 COME FORWARD AGAIN

Little Rock, Jan. 17.-A constitu- tional amendment that has been mak- ing it's biennial appearance for years in the Arkansas Legislature has come forward again, having been introduced
 by Representative McFerrin of New ton county. 1t provides that all taxes
 derived from railroad, express, pipe line, and telegraph companies shall be paid into the State Treasury to the credit of the common school fund, to be apportioned among the various counties as are all other state school funds. It happens that Newton is the only county in the state that has no railroad tracks whatever and no prop erty of the character named in the

ONLY TWO AMENDMENTS
 TO THE CONSTITUTION

Little Rock, Jan. t7.-Due to the activity of mayors and city officials throughout the state, the Legislature will be enabled to submit only two amendments to the constitution, out of the thirteen pending measures. A petition was filed with the Secretary of State Tuesday, with 15,074 sigma lures. for the submission of the muni- cipal bond amendment. This measure has been before the electorate three times, receiving majorities of the vote cast on the subject, but has been lost through technicalities. The last time it was carried to the Supreme Court
 and thrown out because more than three amendments had been submitted at the election. The initiation of the amendment was started only three weeks ago, and petitions were circu- lated in practically every city of the state. The amendment has been care fully re-drafted and meets the ap- proval of all who have examined it. The amendment will enable cities to vote bonds for internal improvements. Having precedence over all other amendments to be submitted at the general election in 1918, the proposi- tion will go before the people on it's merits, unhampered by technicalities, and it is believed will be adopted

resolution. The passage of the amend
 ment would deprive counties contain
 ing such property of considerable re-
 venue, which would be distributed
 throughout the state. The amend
 ment has been reported favorably by
 the House committee on constitutional
 amendments. It has not been looked
 upon with much favor by previous Legislatures in which it has been in- , troduced, since the majority of law , rmnaKers believe that counties and other political divisions are entitled to the taxes derived from property located therein, and they further contend that such provision would greatly impair
 the efficiency of schools in cities and
 towns by depriving them of revenues
 justly due them. The indications are
 that the educational interests will op- pose the measure.
