TAXES OF ALL KINDS
AGAIN HIT THE TOP
STATE, COUNTY AND SCHOOL
ALL THE LAW ALLOWS. THE
LEVIES HAVE BEEN FIXED.

Taxes of all kinds are high this
| year-up to the constitutional limit
and the property owner will have
to dig deep to satisfy the demands
upon him.
At the monthly session of the
county commissioners this morning
the annual tax levy was considered,
and the conclusion reached that it
would require the full amount allow
ed by law, ten mills, to pay the ex-
penses of operating the county gov
eminent the present year. The rate
was, therefore, fixed at $40 on the
thousand. The commissioners, at the
request of the county board of edu-
cation, levied S. on the thousand,
thus making a rate of SIS the thous-
and for county and local school pur-
poses. The tax rate for schools is al
so the limit allowed by law.
But the above is not all. In addi-
ton to the $15 per thousand al
ready noted, the state levy has been
fixed at S. on the thousand, which
is also the limit.
This makes $40 per thousand the
taxpayer will have to contribute to
the powers that be for being govern
ed, to say nothing of other taxes on
the side, such as road taxes, business
taxes, war taxes and the like.

1000 BALES OF new
COTTON RECEIVED
BUSY SCENES AROUND GINS
AND WAREHOUSES;. STAPLE
is OPENING RAPIDLY.

The few days of fair weather the
past week have caused cotton to open
rapidly, and many fields are white
with the bursting bolls.
Saturday was a typical day of the
busy autumn season, and all day long
wagons from the farms crowded
around the gins waiting to have their
fieecy freight prepared for the mark
ct. 1t was busy time with all the
gins in the city.
The warehousemen, too, had to
move around lively to weigh the cot
ton of their customers, and sell it
if the owner desired to put it on the
market During the day the ware
houses received by wagon 333 bales.
The receipts to date are $50 bales.
About half the cotton is being sold
as it is brought in, the other being
stored and a chance taken for high
er prices.
The crop in Terrell, due to the
continued rains for several months
and the boil weevil, will be the
shortest ever grown in the county.
The estimate is from third to half
crop, and in many instances, it is said,
not more than two or three bales to
the pillow will be gathered.
the pillow will be gathered. Good mid
ding was quoted at 2813c this morn
ing.

AFTER ILLNESS
zIRON IRON TONIC
When Your System Needs Strength, After
Sick Spell, Try zIrOn.

Your blood must have iron to give
your body strength. Lack of iron
makes many people pale, weak and
languid. To put iron into your blood,
take Ziron Iron Tonic. Especially af-
ter severe illness do you need Ziron
to bring back appetite and build up
weakened vitality.
]. E. Clifton, of r. F. D. 8, Lyons,
Ca, writes: Last summer / had ty-
phoid fever and had hemorrhages of
the bowels and my health was wretch
ed. / seemed to be unable to get my
strength back. I had no appetite,
had no energy, l didn't think 1 was
ever going to get well. My knees were
weak, my flesh felt clammy, was in
q pretty bad condition. I heard of
Ziron and what good tonic and
strengthened it was, and sent for it
at once. 1t helped me. I began to
improve and soon felt much better and
stronger"
