The sale of articles in a group which are usually sold singly would not be rendered taxable merely because the price of tne group exceeded $30 (or $60 in the case of watches) when the individual price of any single articles does not exceed such Bum.

FOR BUTTERFAT THIS WEEK 116 COMMERCE. if tShzk ALV1N, Texas, Sept. 12 (Spe-, cial) Aivin is one ot the nicest little cities in the state of Texas. It has ten miles of paved streets, electric light, and one'ot the best telephone services of any small city Texas, two good banks the First National Bank of Elvln and the Aivin State Bank. Also an excellent weekly paper, The Aivin Sun, and plenty of good business honaes.

Aivin is the city where opportunity is waiting to reward the men who come here and settle down and cultivate our rich soils, that are to be had at moderate prices. Land sells, deoending upon location, from $20 to 4iH per acre, this, of course depends upon the location and whether the land is a cultivated Magnolia Fig orchard or not. The monej making season 18 open the year round in Aivin, and the farmers and dairymen, fruit and truck growers' take advantage of every day, reserving the right to rest on Sunday of each week; for the dairymen it means that they win have to work eleven months and twenty nine days out of every twelve months, while the truck grower takes the same amount o( time, but Mr. Magnolia Fig grower takes less time for his work; he performs ten months work and reaps a real harvest of the coin of the United States, in other words the Long Green or legal tender which is acceptable in all states of the union. During February the strawberry growers begin to gather, strawberries and keep that business up until April, strawberries sell for a good price.

They start off at $4 per crate of -'4 pints, and range down to $1.75 the latter part of the season.
