constantly moving up to the wickerS at
the county treasucers office yesterday
paying taxes. They seemed anxious 10
make the payment and very little OBJ
iections seemed TO be made 10 figures
given. The collections for the DAY
amounted to over Sl1,000. while on the
previous day they were $l2.5o0. There
were more individuals who paid yesterday
than on the previous day. as the Frisco
road on Monday paid S+..So0. which formed
a part of the $12.509 The taxes are COM
ing in quite freely, and in fact more rap
idly than many had supposed they would.
one Of the striking features IS the prompt
ness with which the farmers are discha-g-
Ing this duty.
