WHAT MUST A PERSON BO TO

Subject of The Hour at The Baptist
Church Sunday Night
This age in which we reliving is a free and easy-going one,
when people recoil and draw back from a vigorous and forceful
statement of unpleasant truths. That is the very thing, how
ever, that we are going to do at our service this coming Sunday
night at the Baptist Church, when we shall take as our theme
"WHAT MUST A PERSON
The word "DAMNED", means condemned of God. The
word, however, is a much more
and carries much more meaning to our minds it brings up at
once, doesn't it, the most wful consequences imaginable. We
will preach on them, as well as upon some' other things, Sunday t
night " ..f. ' ; ' '

Madison County
Bondsi
:. "V-: ": . .:-..-Vv. "
A short time ago the Com
pany selling the Bonds of the
county wished to know if we
wished to buy some of them
and what would we give par
and accrued interest and a re
ply came that we could only
buy them for 103.5. That means
that Madison County under the
later hoards of commissioners
have raised the credit of the
county, to the poiont where its
bonds are above par. We won
der if Madison is out of the gen
eral run of counties in that she
has a sinking fund to redeem
her bonds, v If we could have
bought them par it would have
meint Mat .quite" a large sum
would have been saved to the
cpunty each year. , However,
to buy them at a premium
would mean that we would gain
nothing by selling theru and in
fact would not haye the use of
the money in the county. As
it is we are holding, the sinking
fund ami getting 4 per cent on
it compounded quarterly. We
are hoping that in managing the
counties finances we may be let
alone for a time to see if the
debt may not be paid off when
due. . .If we bond the county for
more It means , that we ; cannot
pay off th5 old and also-that the
tax rate will increase. The laws
that have been made in giving
cirtain things to the county
means if carried out more bonds
1 and more taxes. The rateasit
is, is high. To increase th
1.1 .
Donas means mat every one
will have to pay more still
That this is a popular measurq
is not to be thought. In scek-t
ing to serve certain sections oil
the county sometimes the legis
lature does an injustice toother
parts. We do more than wc
are doing would mean increased
debt and therefore increased tax
to meet the interest? Wc are
hoping that we may not have
to do this as Madison coming in
to her own should not be thrown
backward in line of progress.
