rich people wait until the very.
last minute. I am here to-day to
pay taxes for myself and fourteen
of my neighbors, all poor men.
Gov. Tillman 10 right. The time
within which taxes may bs paid
should be fixed by law and not
altered.

meet and proper that their loca-

the firm, has since coming among
us built up fine trade, and enjoys
the confidence of our entire COM

by strict integrity, close and care

failing courtesy to patrons and
public.
Are You Superstitious.
Are you superstitious about the
number thirteen? If so, beware
of the new quarter dollars coined
this year, for there are ten 13's on
one side, as follows: There are
thirteen stars, thirteen letters on
the scroll in the eagles beak, thir-
teen margi,.al feathers in each
wing, thirteen tail feathers, thir-
teen parallel lines in the shield,
thirteen horizontal bars, thirteen
arrowheads in one of the eagles
claws, thirteenleaves on the branch
in the other claw, and thirteen let
ters in the words, quarter dollar.
If you are at all afraid of these
quarter dollars bring six of them
to the ADVERTISER Office and we'll
take 'em for $1.5O, and give you a
receipt for one years subscription.
