Chief of Police Fullam says he has not decided yet where to locate the pound but the chances are that it will be on Eagle street.

This Will Increase County Rev enues About $5000 With No higher RateMr. Vander bi It s Large Share of This. As an evidence of Asheville's growth and prosperity, the tax books for the year will show an increase of taxable property in Asheville township alone of nearly one-half million dollars. In round numbers the increase Is $420,000. The amount of taxable property In the township is $7,895,467, the amount last year was $7,475,467. Thi means an in crease in taxes of $2,194. The amount of taxes paid In last year on taxable property was $90,758. the amount to b? paid in this year will be $92,952. Although the complete lists of all the townships have as yet not been made up, it is estimated by the tax list ers, Messrs. J. L. Carroll and William Jay, that there will be about 1,000 more polls this year than last. This would mean an increase of several thousand more dollars making the county's rev enue in taxes to be between $4,000 and $5,000 in excess of what it was last year. Considering there has been no change whatever in the rate of taxa tion within the past two years, this Is considered a remarkably fine showing. It shows just what Asheville has been doing in the past 12 months In the way of public improvements. George Van derbilt gets the credit of about one half of this increased taxation. He has listed about one-quarter of a million more property this year than last. Ha pays tax now on $1,200,070 worth of property which amounts to $12,007 an nually. The increase of county taxable prop erty is estimated to be about $80,000. Messrs. Jay and Carroll expect to have the entire lists completed today. In accordance with the law these lists must be turned over to the Board Of County Commissioners the first Monday in September. The board will meet in regular monthly session Monday at which time these lists will be passed on. COMPROMISED OVER A COUNTERFEIT CHECK In Justice W'addeH's court yesterday afternoon, Ike Sternberg, a merchant of the city, brought suit against Jas. McKinney, alias Chas. Clayton, a negro for attempting to pass a counterfeit cheek. On being closely questioned, Sternberg withdrew his warrant, the negro agreeing to pay the costs of the action. Mr. Waddell regarded the compromise as being a most unusual procedure. u i PERFECTION ATTAINED. "Clifton" fancy patent is a perfect i fl(jur It is not possible to put more quality and purity into a flour than our "C! fton" brand contains. "Clifton" is a soft wheat fancy pat ent. It is made from select wheat, ev ery grain of which was grown on Ken tucky soil the best wheat in the wide world. Only the plumpest and choicest berries are selected. These are thor oughly cleaned and then by a special process of gradual reduction are con verted Into flour. The cream of the flour is separated and sifted through the finest silk bolting cloth, giving it a velvety softness seldom found in ordi nary flour. That's "Clifton," and that's why it is a perfect flour the finest pro duct expert millers and modern mills can make from the best wheat grain. "Clifton" is a flour of quality at a reasonable price. You can pay as much and get an Inferior flour, but you cannot get a better flour, whatever you pay. BRANSFORD MILLS, Owensboro. Ky.
