mort of Consul Frost that the Caves

The sinking of the California, the

sue its ruthless policy without regard

The report of Consul Frost that the

MAKING SCHEDULES
!
OF INCOME TAX
MUST FILE THEM
BEFORE FIRST OF THE
MONTH.

Those lucky individuals whose in
comes exceed the limit placed by the
governments taxing lists are engaged
upon the somewhat complicated task
of making out income tax schedules,
and perhaps all oblivious Of the dis
tinction resting upon those required to
do such work, are bewailing the fact
that the tax for the past years in
come is twice that hitherto paid, the
amount taken for the uses of the gov
eminent being Q per cent. instead of
1 per cent.
Unmarried men whose incomes are
less than $4,000 are exempt, and mar
ried men or the heads of families may
enjoy without disturbance an income
Of $4,000. In this connection it is well
to state, however, that due to certain
changes in the law close perusal
of the requirements is advisable. For
instance, income coming from corpor-
alton dividends was exempted and II
the individual having an income of
$4,000 per year had that income as a
result of the receipt of corporation
dividends, he was not under the ne
cessity Of making out schedule, but
this year all that is changed and his
schedule must be made out regardless
of the sources of his income.

YEARs AGO.
BAD WlATHER HAD SOME EFFECT
Doubtless In Part Responsible For
The Falling Off-Severe Winter
Makes II Difficult to Show Property
lis Above Monthly Average.

Real estate transfers for the past
month were $4,000 behind those Of
the same month of last year. This
was no doubt due in part to the terri
BILE weather of the month which had
its effect on real estate transactions
as well as on other lines of business.
1t was difficult to get about and again
farm land does not show to as good
advantage in the sleet and snow az 1t
does when the weather is open. Jan
uary of last year was record-breaker
for that month, the sales in Maury
county lands aggregating $685.
The sales for the past month aggre-
gated $173,110, which ordinarily would
be considered a good month, aud Is
about the average monthly convey.
ances for last year.
Last year was record year in the
transfers of Maury county land, the
aggregate for the twelve months being
more than $2,OOO,O0O. This is
monthly average Of 100000, and 1t
would be surprising should this years
business exceed that of last year.
January's realty transfers were
largely in excess of the transfers for
tlhe same month of two years ago.
The transfers for January, 1915, were
only $4,000, or $4,000 less than
those for the past month.
