An Advanced Age.

Mrs. Dan Finn returned on the

INCOME TAX BLANKS
HAVE BEEN RECEIVED
A MISAPPREHENSION AS TO
TAXES REPEALED. ALL MER-
CHANTS MUST REPORT.

Many blanks upon which income tax
returns are to be made by Dawson
people having incomes of less than
$4,000 will have been delivered within
few days. Retail business men have
been advised that all merchants whose
gross sales in 1921 were $4,000 or
more must file returns This interpre
tatioh means that practically all mer-
chants must make returns to the COL
Hector whether they are eventually re-
CURED to pay a tax or not.
Blanks for the higher schedules will
be distributed within a short time. All
persons whose gross income in 1921
exceeded $4,000 must file returns re-
gardless OF the amount OF net income
on which the tax is assessed The
gross income is said to practically in
clude all income received by the tax
payer in 1921.
Misapprehension has existed as to
such taxes as have been repealed and
those that have not been disturbed
according to an announcement from
the collectors office. Proprietary taxes
such as those on patent medicines, and
some OF those on Injuries have been
Iannulled, while documentary taxes
and those on such institutions as the
cabaret have not been disturbed By
congress.
Careful examination of the sched-
ules, it is stated discloses that mar
ried men subject to income tax will
not be required to pay as much as
they did under the provisions OF the
original statute. 1t is estimated they
will make saving OF from SIS to $40
on tax payments. This saving is at
tributed to an increase of $500 in ex-
lemptions.

Extensive Acreage of
Irish Potatoes Probable
One of Most Prolific and Profitable
Crops That Can Be Grown.

The indication is that good acre
age will be planted in Irish potatoes
this year. 1t has been proven beyond
question that Terrell county land is
splendidly adapted to the growing OF
white potatoes as well as the sweet
variety. If the crop is intelligently
handled it can be made profitable for
the farmers as a side line.
One of Dawson's merchants last
season on small plat OF ground back
of his store gathered a surprising yield
of fine Irish potatoes. which kept in
splendid condition stored in a cool
place. This crop was grown at very
small cost and furnished wholesome
part of the daily family menu for sew
eral weeks. The value of the Irish po-
tato as an article of food is well
known. Why should our people i'm
port what can be produced in abund-
ance at home?

Mr.. R. E. MCDOWELL BREAKS
HIS COLLAR BONE IN FALL
Stumbled Over Garden Hose on Porch
And Dislocated Shoulder.

Mr.. R. E. Mcdowell is at his home
suffering from a dislocated shoulder
and fractured collar bone as the re-
sui OF an accident which occurred
about 7 o'clock last night. He had
been down town on business, and re-
turning home walked hurriedly up the
steps his feet became entangled in the
garden hose coiled on the veranda,
which he had left there to put away
later, forgetting all about the matter
until he was tripped at the edge OF
the porch, falling heavily to the
ground. With Mr. McDowell's weight
and the force of the fall from the high
veranda the accident might have been
much more serious, and his friends are
congratulating him that it is no worse.

Terrell Growers Have Not Found the

OF several years in the business, frank

'sThe Mystery of the Turkey" has

Gent Arabic books written long before
the discovery of America a descrip-
ton of what he thinks must be the
modern turkey bird-and the old author
found 1t In fact In Asia Minor. which
the Turks Of his religion had already
conquered. Such piece of news goes
along well with the conquering of
what we used to call Turkey by Mus
tapha Renal and, If it were true, he
would be warranted in taking our tur-
key for his own Thanksgiving en-
blem.

at once and give the reasons, which
they say are imperative, why the tur-
key bird is genuine American, in the
woods when Columbus came and in
