meeting of the Levy Court they have
not felt so good; they could mot bulidoss
them as well or as easy as they expected
to, and all th cir srraugenens we're
knocked into cooked hat. Yet thSy do
not complain at the Levy Court but say
tho Court acted very honorabIy towards
them. They say now that tho Collectors
have not done their duty In that they
should have done. and have turned
away too many deinquepts. Il suppose
they think that's Collector shouid 70 TO

him; have his horse fed and then give
him receipt of one dollar and ave
cents in fall for his county and school

vote. This perhaps would satisfy them
