The net interest cost to the county on the refunding bonds, McDaniel Lewis, of Lewis and Hall said. Is 2.9S per cent inter est, taking up 5 to 6 per cent bonds. Mr. Lewis said: “It shows the response of the pubdc to the de cision of the county - commission ers to levy a tax sufficient for all purposes, especially debt ser vice. Wilkes county is regarded as being in fine shape now, finan cially with per capita debt—the best yardstick to measure by— ’.ow and very favorable as com pared to other counties in this action of the state. The debt urden is low, there being more ban 42,000 to pay lees than a million ar.d a half -dollars debt Bonds are being reoffered to the public at prices to yield 2.75 to 2.90 per cent net. The bonds are free of federal and -state Income and intangible taxes.

HOB LIGHT READING Aa W-prlvate who never saw the front was always telling about being shot six times dur ing the war. Finally one of his budtUbC took him to task before ^ ^yi|wd of friends and told that the, ex-lrrivate had never received a scratch, much less six bnlle' wounds. His comeback was that lie had been halt-shot a dozen times and was once half-shot at sunrise. While rambling through a book store in a neighboring city we asked the lady who was sup posed to be doing the selling if s^e had a book entitled “Man, the Master of Woman’’. She po litely intormed us that the fiction department was on the other side of the store. “That’s the guy I’m laying for’’ muttered the hen as the farmer walked by.
