We understand an official connected
with the internal revenue department
Was in the village last week looking
after matters connected with that de-
partment and that he notified one of on
prominent manufacturers that he would
be required to pay tax of ten per cent

Last evening couple of itinerant
hawkers of MOdoc gold were engaged on
the corner of Main and Third streets
selling their wares and quilting buyers,
when they were treated to a shower of
eggs. The officials tried to protect them
but the eggs would continue to drop in
occasionally from all directions, the
crowd around lodging and dispensing at
every attack. AS long as the village
licenses them to carry on such a bust
ness they should be protected in it, but
we think that such persons Should not
be allowed to sell. Their wares are
worthless and purchasers get but little
value in return for their money. We
believe an ordinance prohibiting such
characters from operating in our village
would meet with the appreciation of our
citizens generally. We have been told
they propose entering suit against the
village for damages.
