Text Books In Craighead.
The Craighead County Book
! Board will hold another meeting
next Saturday when it is
thought the books for the coun
ty will be adopted. There is
much speculation as to what the
j decision of the board will be but
i it is thought there will be a di
! vision of some of the books.
The fight made by the Sun on
the trust book companies has
met the approval of hundreds
of good citizens of the county.
Several callers at the office have
stated that they did not know
they were patronizing a book
trust when they were buying
school books for their children
until the Sun came out on the
proposition. It is very evident
that the school patrons of this
i county are opposed to the books
1 of the American Book Company,
I from the standpoint of it being
a trust and the teachers of the
county in most cases are oppos
! ed to them on account of their
' not being up to the. standard.
It is expected that there will
be considerable interest in the
board meeting. The members
are all good citizens and will do
what they think best for the

Help the Tax Collector.
Chas. E. Smith will start on

i for those who do not pay their

making his rounds, to see Mr.
Smith and have him to make out
a.statement of the amount of
their taxes. He will do this
without charging anything and
by having the statement when
you settle at the time when the
collector is rushed for time you
will save yourself and the collec
tor time and avoid the possibil
ity of any mistake in your tax
receipt.
