The town council met last Monday night
and received the report of the clerk as to
who had paid and who had not paid the
street tax There are quite number Of de-
linoueuts, and the council Instructed the
clerk to issue at once a summons to each of
the delinquents to appear before the coun-
Gil next Monday n:ght, to show cause why
they should not be punished. Those that
are expecting the council to pass them by
will find themselves mistaken, as the coun-
Gil is determined to make every man who
is liable pay the tax.
ANY kind of a shoe. any style and any

Yesterday a large number of persons
came to town believing that 1t was the last
day for the payment of taxes. Quite num-
Der paid, but others after hearing that the
time had been extended decided not to pay.
The time has been extended until February
20. and majority of those that left here
yesterday without paying will find that
they will not be any better prepared to pay
in February than they are now, unless they
do as we heard one man say, put his money
in his pocket and make the man that takes
q lien on his crop next year pay his taxes.
These extensions do not the good they are
to do. If the legislature would fix
the time and stand to that time without ex-
tending, the experiment would only have
to be tried once to satisfy the people that it
is best.
