COUNTY SUPPLY BILL FOR ENSUING YEAR The county supply bill, as passed at the recent session of the legislature, calls for a total appropriation of $80, 115.27 and a levy of nine mills. The levy last year,so It Is understood, was insuflicIent to cover the amount ap propriated, so the county went Into debt on laft year's operations. It will be noted that $2,000 of this debt is in cluded In the bill for 1917 and con seqluently a part of the taxes collect ed for this year will be used in de fraying Last year's expenses. The appropriation for roads thils year Is about ;3,000 farger than last year. It is understood that the dele gation provided tihis increase so that in case the proposed bonds are voted the commission may proceed at once and not. be delayed until the bonds are actually sold. Except lin the case of minor changes the only change of importance under the heading of salaries Is the salary of the superintendent of education. 1 This salary is increased from $750 to $1,300. llecause of this increase the superintendent Is expected to give his full tline to the office and perform the duties of the rural school supervisor, which ollice will be discontinued.

Please allow me to express my heart-felt thanks to my friends for the many manifestations of kindness extended to my sister, Mrs. T. L. Hel larps during her long illness; also for their prayers and to the little clili dren for the beautiful flowers they brought her. May-God bless each and every one of them is my sincere wish. Mrs. Belle Gray. A Hint to the Aged. If People past sixty years of age could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and remain in bed for one or two days, they would recover much more inlekly, especiail ly if they take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. There would also be less dlanger of the cold being followed by any -of the more serious diseases. c.UB ngs to go at mo: ats are closed 01 T'S UP TO YO l[lines; we handi D 1IRON RACE W.
