DELINQUENT TAXES.
Big Sale in Which a Number of Local
Gentlemen Take an Active Part.


A Big Sale in Which q Number of Local
Gentlemen Take an Active Part.
The sale OF delinquent taxes was con"
cluded in the treasurer's office about
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The sale was
themost successful one that has ever been
held since the first one In the county.
The list OF properties for sale was very
large and nearly the entire lot was taken.
There was lively scramble for some OF
the properties and the larger the amounts
of taxes due, the greater was the desire of
buyers to capture the prize. The hottest
contest of the day was for the taxes OF G.
G. Cook on his West TuscarAwas street
home. They have not been paid for
couple of years and over 5000 is due. So
lively was the competition for this prize
which will yield over Sl00 profit, that II
wss necessary to draw cuts to see who
should get it. James LAWN was the
lucky man. This was the largest single
sale Of the day. A Acapitalist named Smith
of Berlin Center, Holmes county, secured
the largest bulk of the delinquents.
These taxes form a good investment as
the buyers are allowed 10 per cent penalty
and 6 per cent interest IL the properties
arc redeemed within year. II it runs
over year they will get per cent inter-
est and % per cent penalty on their in
Veatment
