( Stat Treasurer Ben Lacy called on
K delinquent sheriffs for a settlement
of taxes, and In telegraphic dispatches
to these officials reminded them that
unless state funds are to: th coming
lx will request district solicitors to
itirt prosecutions for collections.
Mr. Lacy would not make publio
the names of the sheriffs nor the coun
ties delinquent in their settlement of
taxes. He said, however, that this
would be done if his appeal dees not
bring the money soon. Delay in some
cases he believes due to the misun
derstanding among officiate as to the
close of the fiscal year, the last gen
eral assembly having changed this
from November 30 to June 30. '
"I now write to say that 1 am up
against it," Mr. Lacy says to the
sheriffs in a letter mpplementlTiR hts
wires." I must have money, and I
want you to send me at once all that
you have and exert yourself to col
lect all this is due the state."

For years we have used Black-Draught in our family,
and I have never found any medicine that could take its
place," writes Mr. H. A. Stacy, of Bradyville.Tenn. Mr. Sta
cy, who is a Rutherford County farmer, recommends Black
Lnntght es a medicine that should be kept iu every house
hold for use in the prompt treatment of many little ills to pre
vent them from developing into serious troubles.
THEDFORD'S
LACK -DRAUGHT
It touches the liver and does the work," Mr. Stacy
,!arefi-. !t is one oI the best medicines 1 ever saw for a
cold and headache. 1 don't know what we would do in our
fciau.y if it wasn't for Black-Draught. It has saved us many
dollars .1 don't see how any family can hardly go with
out ii. 1 know it is a reliable and splendid medicine to keep
in the house. I recommend Black-Draught highly and am
never without it."
