-. TAxEs.-The books for the collection
Of taxes in this county we're closed last
week, and all persons who bad not paid
= mp to that time are liable to the penalty
Of Is per cent: In some of the ether
counties the time was extended, and
many persons thought that it meant all
the counties in the State, and did not
find out their mistake until it was too
late. We do not think the State Trea-
sury would lose much if the time for
collection in this county were extended
at least ten days longer. 1t would be a
great benefit to many of our impovcr-
ishedpseg!e.'T The taxes are heaey enough
already, and in tie name of justice and
mercy we again ask for little lenicncy
for item.
