WHEN LIST APPEARS
TRUSTEE BURNS WILL TELL ANY
ONE THAT HERALD ApVER-
EASEMENTS ARE READ.

If County Trustee J. Ross Burns
ever had any sort of doubt about The
Herald's advertising columns being
read that doubt was removed the day
following the publication of the delin.
quent tax list For then those tax
payers who had refused to heed pre-
ious warnings or who had been too
careless in attending to a matter
from which there is no escape, began
to get busy. All at once they real
lied that non-payment Of taxes on
perfectly good and valuable lands
was not thing to be treated lightly.
There was consequently a rush to
settle. Already number who had
not done so have .paid the taxes as
sessed against their property The
trustee has absolutely no option in
the matter. When the time comes
he must either advertise the lands
upon which taxes are delinquent or
must personally pay the taxes assess
ed there. Since the delinquent taxes
amount to several thousand dollars
Trustee Burns really has no choice.
He adyertises the delinquent list.

BOND BUYERS ARE
A PARTICULAR LOT
TAKES LOTS or PROOF TO sRoW
THEM THAT COUNTYSl OBLlGA-
. TONS ARE LEGAL.

1t takes whole lot of red tape
to complete the sale of the bonds OF a
city or county This Judge Whit
thOrne of the county court, is finding
out in putting through the sale of the
highway bonds. The bonds were adj
vertised, the bid accepted by the
county court and the transcript of the
courts record in authorizing them has
been finished. But that is not suffi-
cient, the buyers must see the act of
the legislature giving the court au
thority to make their sales and that
being furnished they must he shown
by legal proof that the Legislative act
was duly passed by the general as
sembly and approved by the governor
in the manner and form prescribed In
the constitution.
Now the journals of the last legis-
lature have not yet been published.
The clerks are scattered over the
state and from them the bond buyers
must have certified copies of the rec
ords showing among other things that
the act in question was passed on
three readings in each house on as
many separate days; that on it's final
passage the roll was called; that a
constitutional majority of all the mem
bers voted in the affirmative and that
quorum of not less than twothirds
OF the members were present. Also
1t must be shown that the bill was
s.gned in open session by the speakers
of the two houses and that it was
returned with the governors sigma
ture within the time and in the man
ner pointed out in the organic law.
When these and a few other details
have been completed the bonds will
be ready for exchange for the actual
cash.

QUART-CROP LATE. *

A few acres of strawberries at the
prices prevailing now, provided the
yield was good, would mean small
fortune to the owner. The berries are
coming to the market in considerable
quantities these days, the crop being
about a week later than usual because
OF the cold spring. They are retailing
at thirty-five cents quart and are
bringing the growers something over
81 a crate, which is a record price. 1t
had been expected that due to the
shortage of sugar there would be a
Iessened demand for the berries. but
this has not proven so far to be the
case. However. the bulk of the crop
will not begin to come to market uptil
next week.

SESSION
COUNTY SQU|RES
ON NEXT MONDAY
FORMAL GALL ISSUED BY JUDGE
WhITTHoRNE IN RESPONSE,
TO PETITION.
TO CONSIDER THE ROAD ISSUE
Call Sufficiently Broad to Permit Any
Action That a Majority OF the Court
May Desire to Take on Either Of
Three Roads.

AS forecasted in The Herald, Judge
Whitthorne responding to request
from members, has issued a call for
an extra session of the county quarter
ly court to convene on next Monday,
at 10 o'clock for the purpose OF taking
such action as the court may see fit
in regard to the contract for the build
ing of the Nashville pike let by the
state highway department" etc.
The call for the court based on the
petition, is sufficiently broad to per-
nit any action that the court has the
will or the desire to take. Under the
cali the court may provide for the con
struction of the Mt Pleasant and Pu-
lasM pixies 4tss
The petition for the call presented
to Judge Whitthorne on Saturday aft
ernoon, was signed by about tenlof the
members Of the court and it is said
that one or two others will sign the
call Just what action the court can
or may take is the subject Of good
deal of speculation There is wide
difference of opinion as to its power
in the premises, the position being
taken by many that having entered
into a contract with the state highway
commission it cannot now abr0gate
that contract.
Whatever action the court may take
one thing seems certain and that is
that there will be big crowd to at
tend the session, for it is not often
that more interest is shown in any
public question than is manifested in
the road issue.
