Resolutions Of Rasped
The following resolutions of re
spect in memory of Kf v. J. J. L.
Sherwood, were drafted and u
nauimously adopted by the
church at Mouutaiu City, Tenn.,
on Dec. 2:
"Brother1 Sherwood was high
ly respected and dearly leloved
by our people and especially by
the membership of this, the
Mountain Citv Run tint, church.
"He was pastor of this church
for a uuiuber of years and en
deared himself to our member
ship by his earnestness in "pira
ting the Word" and earnestly
contending for "the faith once
for-Jall delivered to the saints."
He preached salvation by grae
through faith in the Lord Jesus
Christ, and believed iu a religion
that eminated Iroin God and be
came the dominant factor in the
lives of those who pussessod it.
Therefore be it Resolved:
".1. That the Buptiwts have
sustained a great loss in the
death of Brother Sherwood, and
that we mourn with the sorrow
ing frieuds over the death of one
so .dear.
2. That we extend to the be
reaved chid iv o of the deceased
our deepest and most sincere
sympathy, and commend them
to their Fathers God, the only
source of real comfort.
"3. That a copy of this me
morial and these resolutions be
spread upon the church records,
a copy furnished to The Watau
ga Democrat, The Johnson Coun
ty News and the Baptist Reflec
tor for publication; and that a
copy be sent to the home people.

As tB thi Income Tax.
Collector A. 4). Watts sends out
the following from hia oltico at
Statesvillo under date of Dec. 11:
You wou't have to figure out
your own income tax all by your
eelf hereafter. The Government is
going to seud out men to help
you. It will be up to you to hunt
up these men, who will bo sent in
to every county seat town, and
some other towns besides, to
meet the people. Postmasters,
bankers and newspapers will be
able to tell you when the gov
ernment s income tax man win
'e around, and where to find
him. He will answer your ques
tions, s..eur you to the return,
and take your money. Returns
of income for 191 7 must be mae'e
between Jan. 1 and March 1, '18.
"The Government recognizes,"
says Collector Watts, "that ma
ny persons experience a good
deal of difficulty in filling out in
come tax forms. It recognizes.
too, that taxpayers resident at
points where collector's officers
are not easily accessible find it
hard to get proiter instructions
in the law. Next year, when ev
ery married pet son living with
wife or husband and- having a
net incomo of $ 2,000, and every
unmarried percon not the head
of a family and having u net in
come of $1,000 fortheyeai'1917
must umko a return of income on
the form prescribed, there will be
lundreds in every commuity see
king llight on the law, and help
iu executing their returns. My
own and every other collection
JistiTjt in the naMon will be di
vided into districts, with the
county as a unit, and a govern-
neut officer informed in the in
come tax assigned to each dis
trict He will spend as many days
as necessary in eacu county,
vvy likely in' the court house at
the countyseat town. In cities
hero there are collectors branch
offices, he will bo there, and in
other cities at the county court
uouso or postofjice building. My
office will in due time advise post
masters and bunkers and send
outjnotices to the newspapers
stating when the ugent wil be iu
each county. It will be unneces
siry for prosj)ectivo taxpayers
to ask my office for forms on
which to make if turns. The o (fl
eer who visits tueir county win
nave them.
It may be stated as a matter
of general information that 'net
income is the remaindur after
subtracting expenses from gross
income. Personal, family or liv
ing expense is not expenso in the
meaning of the law, the exemp
tion being allowed to cover such
expenses.
The new exemptions of f 1.000
anifa.ouu win um tnousauus
to the number of income tax pay
ers in this district, inasmuch as
many farmers, merchants, pro
fessional men, tradsuien and sal
ary workers and ii great many
wage workers will be required to
make returns and pay tax.
The law makes it the duty of
the taxpayer to seek out tin col
lector. Many people assume that
if aa income tax lorm is not sent
or a govern tnMit does not cull,
they are relieved from making
report. This is decidedly in error
It is the other way round. Tin
taxpayer has got to go to ihe
Government and tf he doesu r
within the tirnd proscribed, he is
a violator of tln law, an I the
government will go to hi n with
lis penalties."

Mrs.O.P.Cartwrig1it,ol
Whitwell, Tenn., writes:
"1 suffered with bearing
down pains. : . The
dizzy spells got so bad
that when I would start to
walk, I would just pretty
nearly fall. Was very
much run-down. I told
my husband I thought
Cardul would help me. . .
He got me a bottle. . . It
helped me so much that
he got me another bottle.
1 got a whole lot better.
The dizzy spells and the
bearing-down pains . .
left me entirely."
