General Assembly Want More Geld.

Nashville.-Tennessee must raise
100000 in a hurry and it's up to
the general assembly to authorize the
loan as soon as 1t can get down to
business after organization.
The $1,000, 900 borrowed by the state
two years ago is now included in the
bonded debt. The money was obtain.
ed on short-time notes, but was sub
sequently funded along with the other
bonded Indebtedness of the state, thus
increasing the debt from 1000, 900
and over to S12,000,000 and over, on
which the commonwealth is now pay
ing interest. The present legislature
Is considering the proposition of bor-
rowing $1,000,0O0 additional to meet
pressing needs. This will porbably be
authorized by the issuance of short
time notes to be paid off when due,
and not to be converted into bonded
obligation. Meanwhile anf until
this loan can be consummated, banks
OF the state will carry, as they have
done in the past, the warrants of the
comptroller issued in payment of the
school and other appropriations for
state institutions.

better health than l had had for ii

Rabbits Rise in inheritance

When we used to go hunting down In
the country, quail had to be mighty
scarce before we would waste any am
munition on rabbit. Sometimes, late
in the day, we would kill three or four
rabbits to give to the watehdogs on the
way home to amuse them while we
operated in the persimmon orchards,
but that was about the extent of our
interest in the rabbit. But times have
changed. Fried rabbit nowadays has
assumed place alongside of liver and
sirloin and prime ribs au jus.-Kan-
