FAMILY HEADS
GET EXEMPTION
$2,OOO.OO Deduction Allowed In Fig
uring Income Tax; $500 For
Each Child.

Single persons, though required to
file return if their net income for
1920 was $1,000 or more, are, if they
are the heads of families, granted a
special exemption under the revenue
laws. Such person is defined by
Treasury regulation as "a person who
actually supports and maintains in
one household one or more individ-
uals who are closely connected with
him by blood relationship, relation
ship by marriage or adoption. and
troll and provide for those dependent
individuals is based upon some moral
or legal obligation" Such persons
are allowed the exemption of $4,000
granted a married person. In addit-
ion, they are allowed a credit of
$500 for each dependent under IS
years of age or incapable of self
support because mentally or physi-
cally defective.
Husband and Wife.
A married person living with hus-
bad and wife cannot claim an addi-
tional $4,000 exemption as the head
of a family. His or her exemption
is based upon the marital status, IT,
respective of the support of others
living in the same household. The
additional 5000 credit for dependents
does not apply to the husband or
wife OF a taxpayer. For example,
If a married man supports father
who is incapable of self-support, he
is entitled to the 5000 credit for such
person. If through force of circum
stances he supports his wife away
from home he is entitled to the
$4,000 exemption allowed a married
person, but not to a $500 credit for
a dependent.
A son who has left home but who
sends his mother more than one
half the sum required for her sup
port is entitled to the 5000 credit,
provided the mother cannot support
herself. Otherwise, the amount
must be considered as a gift, and,
therefore, the credit is not allowed.
A son living at home and supporting
his father, mother, or other relative
may claim the $4,000 exemption al
lowed the head of family, but not
the $500 credit unless such relative
is under Is years of age or incapable
of self-support.

Obtained Aims For
Fictitious Wido.U;
NouU is Behind Bars

Charged with obtaining money un-
der false pretenses, George Johnson,
a tenant on the farm of Will New
port, Puryear, is in the jail here,
awaiting trial by circuit court.
Arrested at Puryear last Saturday,
Johnson was accused of at Christmas
time of collecting money of an un-
known amount, and ranging from
rs cent contributions up, for ficti-
tious widow. A prominent farmer of
the Puryear vicinity is said to have
written the petition of aims, by
which Johnson obtained the fraud
rlent funds.
BY some means, citizens of Pur-
year got wise to the non-existence of
said widow, and swore out warrant
for the mans arrest. 1t is now be-
ing claimed, it is said, that the ac-
Cused has successfully operated the
same hoax in other portions of this
county, also at points in Kentucky
He was tried before Esq. ]. d.
Morris, Puryear, and upon failure to
make bond, was lodged in the county
Jail here. He has a wife and one
small child.

organizations in the town are asked
by DR.. l. A. McSwain, A. r. c..
Chairman to meet at the Red Cross

article
Why Not Get Together?
There are several institutions or
organizations in the community
whose purposes are to forward the
able interests, and some of them are
doing good work along certain lines.
But tits apparent that their eff
forts, being divided, are deficient in
power and influence, and an effort
is being made to unite them into a
sort of federation, so that by com
bined action they might be in posit,
ion to exert an influence by concen-
trated effort.
We have a splendid town and a
great county, but withholding any
purpose to criticize, there is a Woe
full lack of that thing called pub
lie spirit" and this is not for want
of desire or ability, but to a want
of thoughtfulness along lines which
if studied, would exhibit many things
that should be and could be radically
improved, by the united work of
the church, the schools, and the va
rious traternities and organizations.
Two meetings looking to the con
sumation of Get Together Move
ment" have been held and a tenta-
tive program laid out But a full
representation has not as yet been
secured from all the organizations
Now, there will be another meeting
next Friday evening at 1880 at the
Red Cross rooms over Humphreys
Bros. G. Foster, and it is urgently
requested that the chairman or pres
ident, or by whatever title the head
of each society my carry, will be
present or if not personally able to
be present, select someone to repre-
sent the society or organization over
which he or she presides. This is i'm
portant. Will you do it?
Below we give list of the So
cieties, etc.: The Ministerial Associa-
ton, the w. c. 7. u, the U. D. c.,
the Womans Club, the Parent-Teach-
er Association, the Red Cross, Boy
