Lexington correspondent 0dsssaaerald:
"rhs collection OF revenue for the past yesr
is larger than usual. and the delinquent list
is less than for many years. This Is mainly
due to the diligsnt efforts OF Collector

who so faithfully and earnestly discharges
the important duties Of his position. His
policy 10 to impress upon all that It is but
right and just for every one to pay his share
Of taxes"
