A Terrible COngls.

How often we hear the above re-
mark during these extreme changes
of weather. Colds, Coughs and Sore
Threats were never more prevalent
among children than now. Now we
are going to urge you to try remedy
which has excited comments by ply
sicians all over the country, who ae-
knowledge their surprise at the won
derful and happy results from its use.
That remedy is the well-known prep
aration, HALE'S COUGH CORDi-
AL. Your own druggist, j. w. Tut
hill, will tell you that it is the best
cough medicine he ever sold; or will
warrant u cure or return your money
to you i'm case of a failure after using
half the bottle. II is very pleasant 10
the taste, making 1t a very desirable
remedy for children.

Mr.. WILLIAM Macy. y young man
raised In this county and who has had
every inducemsnt sud opportunity to
become IN honest and useful member
Of society, deliberately chose instead
the habits and associations which
made him, first . worthless loafer,
then = thieving tramp. William has
gone away from Tipton under . cloud
once or twice, but Of late has been
again loating around here-tclling
some Of his associates, rumor says,
that six months Of his last absence
had been spent in jail.
However this may be, on Tuesday
afternoon, when NJ. +. kizer came
into Wheeler's for 4 dish Of oysters
Macy was sitting there with several
others. Kizer hung his overcoat in
tbs storeroom, went into the dining
room. ate his oysters, came out and
put on his coat and went away. Short
Is after, having occasion to pay fol
some goods, he missed his pocket
nook which was in the inside poke;
OF his over coat and contained Sons
500 in notes and little currency
He thought it had probably been dro,
ped, and went back to Wheeler's am
searched for 1t unsuccessfully. Tel
ling his story To officer Wisner, tn.
suspicious of the latter were aroused,
by learning that Macy was in til.
room when Kixcr entered. but gon.
when he came out. Macy was a;
once arrested, and taken to the Pal
mer House and searched; the pocket
book was found on his person, intac,
except ths currency, which was gone
Before Justice McGee, yesterday
morning, Macy made no defence and
was held In $500 bonds to appear be.
fore the Grand Jury. In default Of
bail he went TO jail.

SOMETHING ABOUT COUNTY TAXES.
We say something about county
taxes" because in our excellently and
economically governed common
wealth, even along with the cxtraor-
binary expense incident upon the
erection of one of the finest capitol
buildings in the country, the rate of
taxation has not varied from the mod
crate levy of two mills on the dollar.
Not 80 with the taxation for county
and local purposes. This has been
quite variable; and at the present
time, hearing considerable said about
thigh taxes" and observing from the
Trersurer's report published in an
other column, that the aggregate levy
for 1876 was an increase over that for
1875 Of 81, 900, we Instituted some in
quiries with view to obtaining the
"whys and wherefores.
In the first place, everybody knows
that the expenditure of sixteen to
eighteen thousand dollars is involved
in the erection Of bridge over the
Cedar river-and the general answer
to any inquiry about the taxes is,
naturally, that bridge" But this
.cape-goat is not large enough to carry
the whole load, and on further exami-
nation we see that the teachers fund
has been increased $1,000 and the con-
:ingcnt and school house funds to-
..cther have been increased over SILL
10. These taxes, as all no doubt un-
lerstand, are not levied by any county
authority, but are voted by each district
in the county in anticipation of its
own necessities.
So far, then, we have discovered
about $50, 900 out of the s45, 900 increase
TO be due and chargable to bridges and
."hools. As to the remaining Sl5, 900,
some light may be gained from the
item in the Auditors report which
gives the amount of outstanding coun-
ty warrants at 81 1863. For about four
years the county revenue has not been
sufficient to pay the current expenses,
and balance has been gradually &C
cumulating against the county. Look
ing back to 1871, we find that, exclu-
sive Of the local levies for teachers,
contingent, school house, etc., the
