County Clerk Syl Dunkin informs Us
that there has not been year for three
years past that the personal taxes have
been so nearly all paid up as this. He
went to looking up the treasurers books
yesterday for the purpose of marking up
the penalties and had to go through four
townships before finding a single person
who and not paid half or all of their per-
sonal taxes The motto "Come early and
avoid the rush" was not adopted by every
citizen in regard to taxes but some have
adopted the motto 'Come late and avoid
the sheriff." consequently there was a
rush of business at the treasurer's Office in
the new court house yesterday.
