HEAVY TAxEs.-Tho state and county
taxes for this county the present year
will be $3.50 on the $4,000; the state
&ax being so cents on the hundred, aud
the county tax SITE, which are thus
classsd; county revenue SO cents on the
hundred railroad, in accordance with
an order Of the Court made At ito last
term, 81 on the hundred public aud
rock roads each 10 cents on the husdred (;
state revenue Is cents on the hundred,
and state interest Is ets. This doesn't
include the school tax, which 10 some 10.
calities will be higher than tho combined
tax Of the state and county. When the
citizens Of Troy add to this one per cent
for town tax, they will be very apt to
feel It most sensibly. Rather steep these
close times, but this 10 much better than
the St. Louis tax, which amounts to
$685. on the enough to strap
an ordinary man.
