mobile going ninety miles an
hour—but what’s the use going
back a hundred years? A system
of shorthand and bookkeeping
twenty years old are of but little
use today.
As the steam ship has crowded
out the sail boat, the typewriter
the goose quill pen and poke-
berry ink, so have the famous
Byrne systems of busines train-
ing, bookkeeping, stenotypewrit-
ing, and shorthand taken the |
place of the old systems. The
reason is plain; these systems cut
the time and cost of becoming an
expert accountant or stenograph-
er in half, teach business as well
as bookkeeping, let the student
begin earning while the student
of the old systems is not half thru
his course; they give the student
a better practical working know-
ledge, which means a better sal-
ary.
These practical, modern, time-
saving systems can be had in this
section only at the Tyler Com-
mercial College. You would not
think of riding in an ox cart in
preference t o a n automobile.
Then why think of studying the
old ox cart systems of accounting
and stenography when you can
get the Byrne systems, which pos-
sess such wonderful advantages
that they enabled the manage-
ment of the Tyler Commercial
College to build in the short
space of fifteen years, the largest
busines training school in Amer-
ica, with an annual enrollment of
more than 2,000; a school that
has enrolled pupils from 36 dif-
ferent states and six foreign
countries.

eight years ago. At that time I
had a hard cold and coughed most
of the time. It proved to be just
what I needed. It broke up the
cold in a few days, and the cough
entirely disappeared. I have told
many of my friends of the good I
received through using this me-
dicine, and all who have used it
speak of it in the highest terms.”

ALEX ARNELL, Prop.
26-3td-ltw.
At the request of the local school
board, County Attorney Shepherd ad-
dressed a letter to the attorney general
last week seeking information concern-
ing the right to assess cattle brought
to Ballinger from other parts of the
county and placed on feed in the local
feed pens, said cattle being located in
the Ballinger Independent District on
the first day of January, and also con-
cerning the right of the school tax as-
sessor of this district to assess cotton
held in the local yards by cotton buy-
ers.
The first question grew out of the
holding of Soo cattle here on feed by
Blocker Brothers on January first
year. The cattle were assessed,
Blocker Brothers declined to pay
taxes to the school tax collector of
district, claiming that the cattle were
assessable in the district where the
ranch is located and where the cattle
were moved from when brought to
Ballinger. The ranch embraces four
school districts, or at least part of the
land of the ranch is located in four
different school districts, all levying a
different tax rate, and all a lower rate
than levied by the Ballinger school
board.
The attorney general holds that the
cattle are taxable in the districts where
the ranch is located and not in the
Ballinger district, and should be paid
in proportion to the acreage located in
each district under the general rule
that personal property is taxable at
the residence of the owner, and the
ruling of the attorney general holds
that the cattle were only temporarily
moved to Ballinger.
In replying to the other question con-
terning tax on cotton held by owners,
the attorney general says:
“You also desire to be advised if
cotton owned by cotton buyers on the
first day of January 1916 and located
in Ballinger on that date, is subject to
tax in such district.
“Replying thereto we beg to say that
such cotton is subject to tax. This ex-
act question is decided in an opinion
on page 669 of the report of the opinion
of the atorney general 1912-14, copy of
which you have.”

SUFFERED FROM BACKACHE,
RHEUMATISM, DROPSY.
Dear Mr. Editor:—“I wish to tell you
of a recent experience I had when suffering
from backache, weak back, rheumatism,
dropsy, and congestion of the kidneys. I
tried a new medicine, called ‘Anuric,*
which has recently been discovered by Dr.
Pierce, of whose medicines and Surgical’
Institution in Buffalo, N. Y., you have no |
doubt heard for years. This medicine
acted upon me in a wonderful manner. I
never have taken any medicine so helpful
in such quick time. I do wish anyone
who needs it would give it a trial.”
(Signed) G. H. Herr.
Note.—If backache, scalding urine or
frequent urination bother or distress you
or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheu-
matism, lumbago, gout, neuralgia or sci-
atica, if you suspect that you have kidney
or bladder trouble, send 10 centc to Doctor
Pierce, at Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y..
for large trial package or at all druggists
in 50-cent package.
