 Let me go on. You are the wan derer by mperament-not neces- sarily places, but people, situations, moods I am the freside.

 My last day at Silversand, Joan dear, and one to be marked with 3 white stone of remembrance.
 I had been feeling blue as I packed my things. For, after all, a business job was not the object of this summer outing. Randy Lewis letter. which came this morning, added to my feel ing of failure.

49, FAT FAT Garlic SHOW
BRYANT BROTHERS WILL PROBA
BLY, HAVE CAR LOAD AT
NASHVILLE.

1t is altogether probable that this
section will be represented at the fat
cattle show at Nashville next fall
Bryant Bros. of Mooresville will like
ly fit out for exhibition there car
load of choice steers which they are
now feeding OH their farms. The
Messrs. Bryant are among the Des'
feeders of this section, making a
speciality of the highest grade OF
stock.
They have load of grade Angus
cattle from the Keen herd at High
land Farm that are said to be as fine
lot of cattle as have ever been fed III
the Dimple. These steers were sired
by pure bred Angus bulls and are out
of fine grade Shorthorn and Hereford
cows and all are practically Dlack.
Maury countians have not manifest
ed much interest in the fat cattle
show at Nashville in the past, but the
premiums offered and the prices al
which prize cattle sell should be IN
ducements that ought TO take a mum

gle Eye of the Assessor-Big Rush
Is Now On.

Trustee j. Ross Burns and Deputy
| Mitchell are as busy as the proyerbial
| bees these days writing tax receipts
SO far they have written about 3.400
of the regular receipts and over 400
of the supplemental, that is receipts
to parties whose property was not
regularly assessed upon the tax books
Collections in January were far in
advance of those of the same month
of last year. During the past month
nearly $4,000 rolled into the county
eXchequer while in January of last
year the collections were less than
that figure by more than $4,000. More
receipts have been written than had
been written at this period last year.
The collections OF supplemental
taxes have been heavy Trustee
Burns estimates that up to this time
he has collected taxes on more than
$4,000 worth of property that had not
been assessed at all. Hundreds of dol
lars have been collected in polls that
were not assessed and hundreds found
assessed who were not liable for the
payment of this tax.
There was bigger rush to get tax
receipts during January than has been
the case thiS month although the re-
verse of this is usually true. Monday
and Tuesday were big days and there
was a large collection yesterday but
the Office force is enjoying a rest to-
day.
Unless the taxpayers who have not
yet settled get busy they will soon
face a penalty. February 2S is the
last day of grace. After that time
both penalty and interest will accrue.

WHITE HOUSE MADE
READY FOR WILSON
(Dy United Press.)

WASHINGTON Feb. 2O.-Every-
thing at the White House has been put
in tip-top shape for the return of Pres
ident and Mrs. Wilson.
Although. spring isn't here yet, the
executive mansion has had its spring
house cleaning from top to bottom,
and considerable renovating has been
done, for the historic house is begin
ming to show its age. War times have
caused the appearance of the Presi.
dents home to be neglected, and
many buckets of paint have been used
to keep up the custom, made necessa.
ry by our friends, the British, of keep
ing the White House white.
In the interior of the building, the
historic color schemes, such as the
blue and the green rooms have not
been changed, but just here and there
touches have been made to cover up
the marks of time. Indicating that
President and Mrs. Wilson are plan
ming to resume White House social
life, considerable work has been done
on the big ball room. The floor has
been refinished, new draperies hung,
the gold piano touched up and tun-
ed, and the gorgeous tapestry present
ed few months ago by the French
government put in place.
Indications also are that the big
state dining room, with its Roosevelt
trophies OF animal heads around the
walls. once more will be gathering
place of international and national not
ables. Large tables are ready for it
in place of the small one Mrs. Wilson
placed there during the war. China

Wilson selected for the china Of the

the Presidents seal in gold in the cen
ter, with thin gold band of 4S-tons
