THE HAMPTON TAx.-Capt. Berry
was at this place on last Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, for the purpose
OF collecting tho 10 per cent tax. AS
tho paper containing the notice did
not como out until the day the books
Were opened, and as most of our pa
irons IN the country did not como to
town tor their paper until Saturday,
not many knew that the tax was be,
ing collected Quite a number, how~
ever, paid on Saturday, and Capt.
Berry had pretty fair sum to remit
on last Monday.
