MORE MOONSHINERS CAUGHT
Marvin Mcbride aad Son Caught in
the Act" by Marshal Lilies
and Dock Scott.

Friday Marshal Lilies and Dock
Scott arrested Marvin Mcbride and
his son, Clifton, aged 10 years, in the
act of setting up a still. The arrest
was made about seven miles west OF
Crossville. They were taken to Cooke
vile and lodged in Jail until Sunday,
when they succeeded in making bond.
The officers secured a 3o-gallon
copper still and worm and destroyed
FIVE barrels of still beer. 1t is report
ed that Mcbride said if the officers
had onl ylet him alone for one more
day he would have had his supply of
raw material worked up and have
been gone That shows how rapidly
the work can be done and accounts to
some extent for the difficulty in ar
resting those who actually make the
stuff.
Marshal Lilies and Revenue Officer
Dock Scott, Henry Turner and other
revenue officers have destroyed seven
stills and captured seven men in the
past thirty days. Not such bad re-

PAY YOUR TAXES NOW
Provisions of the New Law BRIEFLY
Explained; Better Not Delay
Too Long.

This week we are publishing the list
OF delinquent taxpayers in conformity
with the provisions of the new tax
law enacted by the last legislature.
! Heretofore it has been the custom
for the Trustee to advertise the delin-
quent taxes for three weeks and then
sell all that remained unpaid. Such
tracts as were bid in by the state
would be held in the office of the Cir
cult Court Clerk subject to redemp-
tion any time within two years. Pay
ment had to include certain costs and
penalties
Different Under New Law.
Under the new law the trustee does
not sell the delinquent property but
turns over to the Comptroller of the
State the entire list. After JanuaryI,
next, suits will be filed in the Chan
Gerry Court by the state against each
delinquent and the property will be
sold to the highest bidder, in bar of
equity of redemption.
That means that you will have until
next January to pay, but after June
penalty of five percent must be
added by the trustee, in case any ue-
linuuent wishes TO nav and avoid the
cost of advertising after January,
next. Better make a special effort to
pay before June l and save the five
percent
