Recorder Bryant is issuing warn
ings to delinquent privilege tax
payers to the effect that unless they
answer the notices which they have
received from him that they must
suffer the consequences, which in
Guide upon the issuing of distress
" arrant, temporary closing Of their
business and their privilege taxes
plus fine According to Mr..
Bryant, there are some fifteen of
these delinquents, who are disregard
ing the delinquent notices. Some
have never taken out any privilege
license, some are far delinquent.
The new recorder is carrying out
the new city administration platform
in insisting ON and following up the
privilege taxes He is determined
that no business in Paris shall sbe
run, as many have, without this fee,
and he cannot transact his business
on the street, nor run after those
who are behind with their taxes
He has other things to occupy his
time Delinquents, or all owing
privilege taxes, should so to the
recorders office, where he has the
books before him, and settle, in a
business like manner, instead of
accosting Mr. Bryant on the streets,
with how much do | owe? 7"
Those in doubt, as to whether
they owe this tax or not, should
read the cilys new revenue bill pub
lished in this paper. No business
OF any kind can be run in the town
without paying for the privilege.
Mr.. Bryant says it is now not the
who are acting contrary
about the privileges, but owners OF
small business enterprises, many of
whom contend that they owe no tax.
If you have been notified, or il
you owe this tax, you should pay it
at once.

est The local tribe was this week
brought up to the standard par
excellence by the addition of four
rev players whose service records
speak mighty we'll for them and
whose performance before the local
followers Of the sport In their initial
appearances was highly creditable.
Reporting to the local dugout this
week are Parks, a second-sacker
from Atlanta, and Brown, a right
.ielder from the Vanderbilt club,
both of whom made good in their
initial appearance against Trenton
tuesday; Wilson, pitcher, former
manager OF the Hickman aggrega-

OF note.
Wagner is now back in the center
garden, Parks having relieved him
al second, and now the fans will
have another look at hiss wonderful
work in the outfield which was
temporarily disarranged by his hav
ing to fill the vacancy in the in
other second -sacker. Supported in
the rear gardens by Brown and
Allesio, Paris now has an outfield
which ranks second to none in the
entire circuit.
Beginning this afternoon, Thurs
day, at 4 p. IN. the locals take on
the reputed hard-hitti~g Milan bunch
which comes here all puffed up with
their victory over Jackson, for
three-game series. They will doubt
less have hard shedding since the
Indians are all rested up from their
batiest with Trenton on Tuesday in
which the honors remained here by
the score of 8 to 3. The Milan
outfit is getting up quite rep"
over the circuit and therefore the
local fans are promised some excel

COURT SELECTS
SCHOOL BOARD
MONDAY MEET
New Organization, Composed of
Seven Men, VIII Serve Entire
County I'm the Future.
TWO TRUSTEES GROVE
HIGH ALSO SELECTED
w. Nat Porter Succeeds James S.
Sweeney as Revenue Commits
si0ner for the County.

Although the election of the new
school beard, which according to re-
cent enacted legislature is to serve
the entire county, was the major
transaction of the quarterly county
court meeting on Tuesday, other
business details were disposed of
including appropriations made,
health officer, revenue and road
commissioners reports received; and
the appointing of two trustees for
Grove High School, two revenue
commissioners and three notaries
public.
The anticipated squabble over the
school board election did not ma
terialize, but the selection of the
seven men who will now govern all
the schools in the county went
through IN business like and seem
ingiy conscientious manner, and is
likely to meet with almost general
approval over the county. 1t was
apparent that there was outside
influence in force, and that there
was some swapping" of support,
etc, but the final decisions will
likely give representation to all diff
ferent parts of the county, and to
various school interests. The board
will include: Nat Porter, C. B.
Smith, w. j. Brite, j. w. Odom,
r. Fl. White John Richardson, and
w. c. Johnson. Paris to be repre-
sented by Nat Porter and W.. C.

The matter of floating a county

| financially on its feet was discussed,
| but it was determined that this
cannot be done until after the next
meeting of the state legislature
| until when, the county must continue
in the same financial rut.

boost to him and a compliment
to his business ability and efficiency.
This paper having watched with in

wee for his country in France, is,
assured that he will be another
Henry County boy to make good in

Many Paris. friends are interested
in this young man, who is always
interested in the progress of his
home town as evidenced in this ex-
tract from, a letter to the editor of

self in fun charge of the city's
affairs as chieftain.
Mayor Rison left Wednesday
for an extended stay of probably
two months in Rochester, Mimi,
whore in addition to taking
much-needed vacation alter the
almost continuous strain of cleo
ton after election since early
spring, he will also occupy some
of his time at the Mayo Brothers
clinic having some abdominal
work executed to break the
monotony of a perpetual two
months rest.
Mayor Rison stated before
leaving wednesday that it has
been definitely decided that none
of the construction work con-
tenlplated under the bond issue
win be done before spring, except
the negro school building. for
which the needed money is to be
borrowed. The reason advanceds
and which it seems was unani-
mously agreed by the city council
and the board of public works,
for holding the work up until
spring, is on account of 1t taking
until late fall to dispose of the
bonds. IL was, therefore. decided
best to not sell the bonds until
about January in time to get the
money to begin work in the early
spring.
