PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX

The Pioneer Press, of Tuesday.
says:
State Auditor Braden has issued a
circular to county treasurers, calling
attention to the fact that the penalty
on personal property taxes accrued on
March l, and at that date the amended
law (approved March. 81 was not in
force; consequently the penalty the
present year will be 5 per
cent instead of 10, as required by the
amended law. All proceedings for COL
lection, however, should be AZ provided
by the amended law.

Mexico Must Wake Up.-An Old Mex
leo Boy Talks.

The following pretty letter was re-
ceived at this Office few days since.
1t was not for publication but we pub
lish it anyway SO our readers can see
how Mexico is judged away from
home:
Friend Bob of the G. Il. w..
LOUISIANA, Mo, Dec. 12.-As l am
sitting in our Office this snowy after
noon methinks of my old home and
friends at Mexico, and among my
friends and regular weekly visiters is
the G. r. W, and what it has done
and is doing for Mexico, and 1 say
this with much pleasure. Tour
paper issued this week is in my opin-
ion the best town paper ever read.
And your article in reference to the
drones In the hive, or rather as you
wot it, the Observation-Disclosures
pun t-follow-class, are just to the
point, and it is pity they do not
have just such an item read to them
every hour in the day till they appre-
ciate their positions and the great
damage they do their own property
and the town and people in general.
Either have some irst-class funerals
or organize an emigration society and
invite them to take the lead out of
Mexico. Living here as l do in the
town of factories of Missouri / can
fully appreciate what Mexico could
be had she one-half the number of
factories or half as many men draw
ing their money every Saturday
night in addition to her country
trade And why is it the moneyed
men and property owners of Mexico
don't wake up?
Bob. stick to it, don't lose the to-
bacco factory. Get that and then
get more.
The seven and one clock whistles
or bells call at eighteen different
manufacturing interests here, paying
out from $500 to 81, 800 per week
for labor Think of it; our pay roll
calls for $500 to 1876 per week.
Well, l will close by sending you
q complete outfit in our line for youl
better half and helpmate. Wishing
you much success, remain,
Yours respectfully,

in this mAnnsr1 It seems that where such

one object Of 9 penalty the rendering

Try, when Q man mounts the scsfold to be

thousands Of people who have assembled, as
it we're, to do him honor, he must feel that
this is the crownipg triumph Of his life.
There are hosts of young men who witness
these executions that are impelled to seek
notoriety in Ike manner. 1t is pleasant
to see that, in some States at least, people
have stopped to think seriously about this
question. To hang, hidden from public
view, the villain who has committedluurder,
does not cast around him much of halo of
glory, and but few are going to eavy such
fate. If men will make brutes out of them
selves, let them die like brutes; let not soci-
