Patrons of the local exchange of the
Cumberland Telephone Exchange will
regret that Miss Louise Hardy has re-
signed her position as Chief Operator.
She has been with the Exchange for a
long time, and not intending TO dispar-
age the weak of the other operators, 1t
can be said she was one of the very
best and most accommodating operators
the Office has had in years.
M. R. Henley of Memphis has en-
tered the field of Somerville cotton

present season to buy all offering Of
cotton for this market. He has made
Memphis connections and promises the
very top of the market for the staple

this county and its business interests
and the people here will be glad to have

Reports we are getting from the
sorghum crop over the county are any
thing but encouraging. j. A. McNabb
ESQ.,, one of the leading growers of the
county, told us Saturday that the crop
is very short the crop turning an UNI
Usually poor yield of syrup of fair quail
ity. 1t was short last year, while in
1917 the crop was large, profitable and
of the very highest qnality. Reports
made by others tally with that made by
Esq. McNabb.

work. Friday night Tom Mix, TIE
Western Cyclone, will feature some of
his best stunts. Each night two reels
of high class comedy will be played.

Under the law county and state tax
es become due on the first Monday in
October, but this year the tax books
have not bern completed to date for
the reason that the assessor has not
yet completed the assessment books
and turned them over to the County
Court Clerk. The Clerk makes mp the
tax books from the Assessors books
and can not complete that work until
the Assessors books are completed and
turned over to him. II is impossible
to tell when this will be done, in the
mean time the collection of taxes must
be delayed. It is understood books for
eleven districts are completed, four
districts waiting on the Assessors
books.
