After the tir.-t day of January, lv-fi.
the chairman of the board of county
commissioners of counties in which the
State claims title by deed to any such

act. is to bring (under instructions from
the Secretary of State) action for the

the defendant . before he shall be per
mitted to plead, answer or demur, shall
pay into the oShce of the clerk of the
PUiorior Court the full amount, all the
taxes, costs and charges du on the
lands sued for. together with twenty

such sum of money shall immediately

Tho sherilf 's deed to the State is con
clusive evidence that the sale of land
was made in compliance with the re
quirements of law. A person not a
party to the action, hut claiming an in
terest in the lands sued for. can be

Fxcellenl Interest Rules.
The answ er in each case being in cents,
separate the two right hand figures of
the answer to express in dollars and
cents.
Four per cent Multiply the principal
by the number of days to run. Separate
right hand figure from the product and
divide by nine.
Five per cent Multiply by number of
days and divide by seventy-two.
Six per cent Multiply by number of
day--, separate right hand figure and
divitle by six.
Eight per cent Multiply by number
of days and divide by forty-five.
Nine per cent Multiply by number
of days, separate right hand ligure and
divide by four.
Ten per cent Multiply by number of
days and divide by thirty-five.
Tsvelve per cent. Multiply by num
ber of tlays. separate right hand figure
and Jivide by three.
To find the time in which a sum of
money will double itself at a certain
rate of interest, divide seventy-two by
the rate of interest, and the result will
be the number of years. For example,
at four per cent money will double in
eighteen years; at eight per cent it
doubles in nine years. This rule is cor
rect to within a fraction of a year for
all rates from three per cent upward
Wo are indebted for this to Mr. Fack

IMaln Questions.
Mythical ideas are fanning the public
brow- with the breath of prejudice, igno
rance and humbuggery. Have you the
remotest idea that your scrofula was
created by the use cf potash and mer
cury'.' No matter what the cause, B. B.
is the peer of all other remedies. Do
you presume that your troublesome
catarrh is the result of mineral poisoning-
H. H. h. is the quickest remedy.
Aro your chronic ulcers and boils and
sores the result of potash and mercury?
Medical gentlemen will not tell you so,
but I!. B. Ii. is the only sovereign rem
edy. Were your terrible kidney troubles
created by mineral poisoning' Not a
bit of it. but B. B. B. has proven to be a
reliable remedy. Aro your skin disease.-,
your eczema, dry tetter, etc., the
eiT'-i ; of too much potash and mercury?
Th.- medical profession are the best
judge-, and they say nay, but B. B B.
mak"s more pronounced cures than all
other preparations combined.
