A GOOD YEAR FOR TAKES.

The Payments Better Than Usual-Big
Poll Receipts.
The state and county tax digest closed
yesterday afternoon. The last notice pub
lished in yesterdays MORNING News by
Tax Collector MCGOWAN had the effect of
stirring up the dilatory taxpayers and there
was a steady rush from the time the office
opened in the morning until it closed shortly
after o'clock.
AT times there was string of people
stretching from the tax collectors Office
half way down the hall of the court house.
Capt. McGowan and his corps Of assistants
didn't have a moment to spare and didn't
get away from the Office for dinner until

The collections this year, Capt. MCGOWAN
said, are very heavy, and he will not be
likely to have as many executions to issue
against delinquents as formerly. The pol
tax payments are larger than usual this year
also, the colored people contributing con-
siderably more than III recent years.

pens 10 this way: A week or more before
Thanksgiving ne purchased fine turkey.
The gobbler was fed on the fat of the land
and in O few days a glance at him was
enough TO make one hungry and bring up
visions OF cranberry sauce. Two nights
before the feast some one who
liked turkey equally as well as the
broker leaped over the fence, and the festive
turkey has not been seen since. Then the
broker decided to eat goose. He bought
one large enough TO make a whole boarding
house smile. But the broker was still pur-
purchase the goose stuck its head through
the Stats Of its coop and broke its neck.
When the genial broker eyed the corpse in
the morning he became respondent and de-
cided that he would be satisfied with fish
for his Thanksgiving dinner. Before noon,
however, he had sold a big block of bonds,
and be had feast anyway.
