Judge j. w. Ross of the Unite
State court arrived in the city lat
yesterday from Jackson, Tenr
Beyond stating that he did no
have any time in mind for th
sre-cOnvening of court in this city
Judge Ross did not have anything
to say as to business in Memphis.
j. Sam johnson, of Huntingdon,
Tenn, also arrived in the city
yesterday. Both the Judge and
Mr.. johnson we're at the office of
A. 6. Matthews, clerk of the
federal court, just before the clos
ing hour yesterday.
The presence of the latter re-
vlved the general report that Mr..
johnson would succeed Mr.. Mat
thews as clerk of the court on
August l. On this point Mr..
johnson was uncOmmunicative.
He would not deny nor would be
affirm the report.
The same attitude was main
tanned by Judge Ross. A fews
days ago when it was suggested to
Judge Ross that Mr.. johnson had
resigned recently as clerk and
master, which Office he held under
Judge Ross when the latter was
chancellor, and he was asked if the
resignation did not give added
color to the report Mr.. johnson
would be the new clerk, the Judge
again reiterated he had nothing
to say.

TRYING TO EQUALIzE
TAXES OF COUNTY
Board Finds Many Perplexing
Problems in Adjusting the
County Assessment

To eqnalze the taxes of thu
county and do justice to all partie.
is no easy task, and the county
equalization board will verify thi.
statment.
The board has been in session
now several weeks and the task is
not 6nised. The board is com.
posed of honest men who want to
do the clean thing, meeting out
justice to the taxpayer as well as to
the county, but they are more or
less handicapped by emergency of
opinions of those who appear be-
fore it. 1t is hard to get at the
real facts.
As rule there is a vast differ
ence in the value of a price of pro-
perty when placed on the market
for sale and when listed for taxes.
How some peoples property does
dwindle in value when the tax
assessor is making his investiga-
tions. But let a realeState agent
come along and value advances
rapidly.
If everybody would give in bis
property at its cash value, the
rate would be lowered, everybody
would be benefited. except the
tax-dodger, and a burden would
be raised from the honest tax. pay
.ers of the county, and the obliga-
bions of the county could be met,

IRRELEVANT DEPOT
NEARLY COMPLETED
The New L. & N. Station is
an Attractive Building and
Pride. of the Town

The new Louisville 6 Nashville
Railroad at Irrelevant has beer
completed and Local Agent K. P
Jobe and his force began Monday
to move into the new building,
whichis pronounced one of the best
stations in the state. This station
was erected at a cost of more than
$50, 900 and is built on the most
up-to. date and convenient plans
for both the public and the rail-
road. Concrete platforms have
been laid around the building. A
large crew of hands has been at
work on this building since early
spring and the people of Trezevant
are loud in their praise to the
officials of the Louisville 6 Nash
vile for their interest in the town
shown in building such a nice
station.
Trezeyant is one of the largest
shipping points in the county and
the railroad company planned the
splendid depot largely because of
this fact. The big fire will hinder
the prosperity of the community
for a while, but the town will re-
build and all lines of business will
then assume thier usual large pro-
portions.

Major Lea was first to step aboard the Lane, he said, adding:
 Ut is said that one of the first ob- jects that met his sight was the body of his son, lying on the deck of the Lane mortally wounded.
