Poll Tax Payments.
BIG TAX RECEIPT.
There are ansesaed for this
year in the county about 3750
polls, and up to yesterday morn-
ing only 777 of these bad been
paid. Last year up to midnight
of January 31 there had been
22'M poll tax receipts issued, aod
unless the voters bestir them-
selves, the receipts will fall far
short of that number thin year.
There will he a general election
next fall, and it is well for all
to bear in mind that no one who
is h.tble for poll tax can vote
unless he has paid same on or
be!iire the 31st day of next Jan-
i .n v. The sooner the matter
i-attended to more certain each
one will he that he ih a voter.

On Saturday afternoon Col-
lector Johnaton issued to a Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe represen-
tative a tax receipt for $11,■
441.38, being the largest ever
issued in the history of tbe
county. It represents the taxes
on $90,080 of real estate, $bl2,-
22«> rolling stock and appurten-
ance*. ;.nd $874,000 on intangi-
ble assets. Thi* sum wa* paid
without prote*t by the railroad
company, though it is $5,184 33
more than \vas paid last year,
and is evidence that the com-
pany recognize* the justice of
the increase, brought about
principally by taxation of the
last item.
Of thi* sum the county school
fund receives 2«> per cent, and
as the general payment of taxes
this yeor has been rather slow,
it comes at a very acceptable
time, for the school fund wa*
running at a low ebb. From
now until the first of February
the force in Mr. Johnston's of-
fice expects to be kept rather
busy for while, as before stated.
Hundley-Baker.
On Thursday evening, tbe
26tb inst., at Christ Episcopal
church in Temple William Hund-
ley and Miss Georgia Baker
were united in marriage by Rev.
G. C. Seaman in tbe presence
of a few intimate friends. Tbe
Temple papers speak of tbe
bride and groom as follows:
"There never grew to young
womanhood in Temple a sweeter
soul than Georgia Baker. Gra-
cious and unaflected in manner,
kind at all times, sympathetic
and chccrful, in the home she
goes to build with tbe man of
her hearts desire, she is followed
by tbe love and sincere good
wishes of friends of lifelong
duration. This, coupled with
the high standing Mr. Hundley
has attained for himself as a
man of unspotted character and
true worth, surely augurs an
auspicious life's journey to-
gether. Despite no invitations
tbe array of gifts was large and
handsome." The groom is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Hundley
of this place and is too well and
popularly known here to need
any words of praise. They ar-
rived here Christmas eve to
spend the holidays with the

the payments have been slow,
even the slowest will endeavor groom's parents, and were given
to get in before penalty accrues
on their taxes. Of the total tax
a**e**ed, not more than 25 per
cent has been collected to date.
a most hearty welcome by rela-
tives and friends.

Instead of the usual Christ-
mas tree there was a postottice
at the Baptist church Christmas
eve for the members of tbc Sun-
day school. It was a very novel
and unique affair and all the lit-
tle ones were much pleased.
Presents and Christmas mail
were distributed from this of-
fice, and all w ho attended, young
and old, were delighted with the
evening. Kach class handed in
sealed envelopes with a contri-
bution for the Buckner Orphan*'
Home at Pallas, and when they
were opened the amount? was
found to be £>27. A ^collection |
will be taken up Sunday at the
regular service* to further aug-
ment the aiuoiiul.
day beginning at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon and continuing till
midnight with a short intermis-
sion for supper. There was a
large crowd of young and old
present most of tbe time, and
all who felt inclined to trip tbe
light fantastic toe had a most
delightful time. Kxcellent music
was furnished by the Caldwell
string band.

The Christmas tree given for
tbe members of the Methodist
Sunday school Tuesday evening
was a very decided success in
every way. The tree was a
very beautiful holly and it was
literally loaded with presents of
every kind for the little ones
and for grown friend* too. The
program for the evening con-
sisted of music and recitations,
and was very interesting
throughout, and after this the
I presents were distributed by
the committee in charge. Kvery
member of the school received a
present of some kind and the
scholars all seemed to be proud
of the fact ihat they belonged to
the school. A collection was
taken up for the benefit of the
orphanage at Waco and the
handsome sum of $123 was real-
ized. Of this amount $100 was
donated by Morris Womack of
Houston. The affair was con-
cluded by all the children being
called to the front and given a
sack of candy and apples, and
all went home happy and in fine
spirits to enjoy the next Chri*t-
11) as.
YOUR DUTY
J. Hill. one of, if not thu greatest of railroad builders
and owners in the world, says: "It is as much the duty
of every citizen to deposit ail his surplus cash in the
bank, which is perfectly sound and solvent, as it would
be to subscribe to a war loan"
TkC PreSldMit of the United States, in a recent letter sent
out for publication, strongly urges the people to stop
hoarding their money at home and pkacc it on deposit in
the Batiks.
Tbc Han that hoard* his surplus cash at home and keeps it
out of circulation is doing not only himself a serious in-
jury, but his country as well.
The People of this country are fast coming to realize that
money hoarded at home is of beutit to no one; it is as
useless as so much brass, while, when it is put on de-
posit in a Hank, it ii at once put into circulation, and is
of immediate assistance in bringing more prosperous
times.
