When he did meet him, there was nu blood shed, for the reporter had no time to waste on such unnecessary pastimes, The irate groom afterwards admitted that the reason he sought to immolate the bapless scribe was because he published the announcement several faye before he wanted him to, and not because, as he first claimed, the wrong street was put in, Many instances are on record where one of these premature an- nouncements induces the resentful couple to postpone the wedding or change the date, just to spite the pape When the-Doctor Orders Wine you should get The bests—We-have it.

The change | jus in the bank tax system not only cuts oft » tremendous slice from this year’s school fund, but the increase of tax rate without any increase in the school fund’s proportion of the reve nue, makes smaller the proportion which goes to it from the revenue produced by license fees, ete. Ow- ing to a deficit found in the fund the per capita for last year was cut from $2.80 to $2.20, and the Auditor agrees that the per capita for this year will be much less than that of last year. This is true even if the school fund does not have to pay'| back to the banks its shave of the! rebate to which the banks ate ent tled because of the excessive state | = several years. The only saving clause for this year's fund, at all is| the fact now developed that the | the state’s fiscal officers do not intend to pay bank rebates at all until they are compelled to do so. Meanwhile many banks, while still fighting the tax question in the courts are losing | their chance to get much of the re bate to which they are entitled, allowing the two years’ time, in| which they must make claim of such)” rebate, to slip away.
