are in Nashville was in Cookeville to

rented an office in the Gibson block
and has put Private Frank W. Beards-
ley in charge, who will be glad to see
any who might want to enter the army
The term of enlistment is four years
which will be with the colors and
three years on furlough, during which
time they are liable to be called upon
to return to the ranks, in which case
there will be an allowance of $5.00 per
month before returning to ranks. In
few years this will bluld up a re

of temperate habits, who may enlist
as privates and develop the necessary
qualifications to secure promotion to
be commissioned officers. A large
proportion of the officers are from the
ranks. To enter as a private one

QUARTERLY COURT
At he January term of the Putnam
County Quarterly Court held Monday
a number of important business mat
ters were disposed of in addition to
tne usual routine work.
ten cent tax was levied to establish
county high school, and five cents
additional for public schools, making
total of 55 cents tax for schools, the
largest school tax of any county in
this section of the state.
The members of the present county
board of education were elected as a
county high school board, Messrs. O.
K. Holladay, J. T. Moore, J.M Jackson,
F. Gentry and E. L. DuBols, and H.
D. Whitson was added to the board to
give 't six members as required by the
law. Speeches were made to the
court in favor of the high school ap
propriation by Former State Supt. R.
L. Jones, county Supt. J. M. Hatfield
and Esqs. V. W. Talbot and B. C. Had
dleston. The total tax levy for state and
county purposes was made at $1.87,
the same as last year.
M. E. Whitson was elected a mem
ber of the county road commission In
place of T. J. Clark, term expired.
E. H. Boyd was re-elected county
attorney without opposition.
The county is in splendid vnancial
condition, due in a large measure to
the careful management of Judge Sam
Edwards and the wise and conserva
tive course of the court throughout
the year.
DOUBLE WEDDING
An event that was of much interest
to a wide circle of friends and rela
tives was the double wedding of Miss
Bessie Holladay to Mr. Fee Stanton,
and Miss Eugenia Hughes to Mr. EU'e
Jared; which waa solemnized at Pleas
ant Grove church on Wednesday, Dec.
31, 1913. The impressive ceremony
was performed before an altar banked
with ferns, holly and evergreens, by
Rev. J. N. Horn.
The bridal party included Misses
Hallie Jared, Hallie Stanton and Las
sie Jared; Messrs. Horace Jared and
Olcle Jared.
The brides wore tailored suits with
hats to match and carried bouquets of
white carnations and maiden's-hair
fern. The bridesmaids were dressed
in white and pink and carrlecr pink
carnations.
After the ceremony the young peo
ple left immediately for Chattanooga
and other points of interest.
PARCEL POST EXTENDED
Beginning Jan. 1 packages of fourth
classmail matter weighing up to BU
pounds may be sent at the old rate of
5 cents for the first pound and one
cent for additional pounds in the first
and second zones, or a distance of 150
miles in- an air line.
Packages weighing 20 pounds may
be sent anywhere in the ITnited States
at gradually increasing rates owing to
the distance.
The local rate, made for the espec'al
benefit of home merchants wise
enough to go after the mall order
business in their territory, is consid
erably lower than the rate for the first
and second zones.
An easy way to compute the post
age on packages In the first and sec
ond zones si that the charge is foan
cents more than the number of pounds
and all fractions of pounds count as
a whole pound. ' For other rates ask
your postmaster.
WELL DONE, GENTLEMEN
The County Court never did a bettex
day's work than it did Monday whea
it voted for a high school and adde
a five cent tax to the elementary
school fund. This does not increase
the taxes over last year. It only coa
verts the jail tax to the school fun.
It is my ambition, and I think th
ambition of the High School Board, t
give the Putnam coanty children aa
opportunity for a high school educa
tion second to none in the state. In
addition our elementary schools win
oe greatly improved. ... .
