SCHOOL STUDENTS
BUSY AT B0BT0WN
Little Community Unpretentious,
But Being Well Organized,
Hustles And Succeeds

When it comes to doing things,
either for the Sunday or the county
schools, the residents of Bobtown and
vicinity are to be given much consid-
GRAFTON, since they work diligently
and without any pretense at publicity
yet they accomplish many things.
1t is an established rule that the
county duplicate every dollar made
up by the students for the benefit of
the school, and the members of the
board have had their attention called
to this district upon many occasions.
The students, together with faculty,
simply get together, plan, then work.
The result is that they have an el,-
giant new organ for the school, por-
tion of a special library and various
other improvements, as result of
their work.
They are well organized by one of
the leading teachers of that neighbor
hood, Mr.. ]. Colvin Hendricks, who is
ready to start on his fourth year at
the Bobtown school next Monday. He
has taught in Madison county for IL
years, and believes he is good for
many more If he is as successful
with his instruction inside the school
room as he is in organization on the
outside, he, as we'll as the student de
serve rare praise; they have money
in their treasury, besides paying all
bills they owed, and are now plan
ming further improvements. The pur-
chases go to the county school and
since the Sunday school sessions are
held there, the result of the efforts
of the industrious students is appre-
ciated during the entire year.
The work does not exclude the
Sunday School which is steadily in
creasing in point of interest and
The same students
who study during the week, are to be
found in their respective classes dur
ing the Sabbath morning when Sun
day School services are held
Mr. Hendricks said Tuesday that
while he was attending the institute
ehis week, there would be every pro-
vision made for the opening of his
school on next Monday morning and
that he predicted a successful year.
He praised his students, and declared
the records of the majority were bet
ter than the average school by far.

HARVEST HIGHTIDE
EVIDENT IN COUNTY
Big Oats Harvest Following
Wheat, With All Threshers
Busy These Days

While Madison county farmers are
wrestling with one of the heaviest
wheat harvests in years and thou ,
sands Cf bushels are being hauled to
tie city. there is an immense crop of
oats being cut, and its threshing will
fo;ioW Closely uron the riddance of
the wheat, which has been retarded
by frequent rains. These have shown
tendency to both develop and ripen
oats, and it is estimated that thou
san,s of bushels of this grain have
been developed during the past ten
days.
Every threshing outfit in Madison
county is busy and expects to be for
some time to come, since the oats
harvest will be a bumper one. The
good price being paid for wheat is
making showing in the interest. of
this grain and it is believed the acre
age will be increased another year
That there will henceforth be good
price and not So much of a chance
taken is the universal belief of the
farmers, one of whom said there was
no gamble now in the raising of
wheat, and the producers would pay
more attention to their ground and
the sowing. While wheat is generally
of the second grade, the price is
said to reimburse the producer hand
somely when all expense and work
is accounted for. The working season
in wheat sshort, compared to some
other products, farmers say, and they
are rapidly coming to the conclusion
that with a fair price for wheat they
will be able to realize very extensive
ly upon their, work.
The Madison county showing this
year will be much better than antic-
ipated until very recently, owing to
the cool weather prevailing. Those
who have realized upon their wheat
crops have had opportunity to esti-
mate the profit, as a result of the
first year where the cost was SO
great, and their reports, it is believed,
will be generally satisfactory.

DISPOSITION OF
COUNTY TAX FUND
Gigantic Task of Preparing Bills
Now On-Apportionment of
Funds Paid In

The task of making out county tax
bills, approximately $500, is more
gigantic than appears on the surface,
and requires both diligence and
knowledge, when the real work is
considered, since there are practically
three copies required of each bill, all
for different departments, and an es-
innate given by one of the account
ants is that moe than $4,000 bills,
or bills together with the copies, will
have to be made out. The rate tax
alton this year is $1.35. "Many are
not aware that but 55 per cent of
this" said Mr.. Robert Is. Terrill, in
charge of the work, ''goes to the
county, the school rate being 40 per
cent and like amount for the state"
Mr.. Terrill, in speaking of the dis
position of the county tax funds, ex-
planned that the bulk of the sum paid
directly for county improvements
went for turnpikes, new bridges,
bonds and the general fund. Intangi-
bic property is not productive Of
county taxes, while there is a ten per
cent on livestock of the state.
There have been many improve
ments both in building bridges and
roads, especially the latter, in Madi-
son county during the past few years,
and the conditions have been mater
tally changed. The Improvement work
which has been on an extensive scale
outside of the county, with the result
that thet the road improvement work
is being taken up more extensively
each year.
