The corporation Board is putting our
streets in fine fix. Some of our neigh

it keeps out the saloon, the worst evil
in the country. Some of our friends
say it drives away trade; drinking
mans trade is not much. and our
merchants here will say they have sold
more goods up to the time this panic
set in than ever before.

success to this fact. One great trouble
with the churches generally is that they,
like 4 yoke of cattle, spend more time
pulling against each other than they do
in pulling the load. This ought not to
be; when Christ sent his disciples forth

Notice to Taxpayers.

The tax books for 1898 have been in
my hands for some time; these taxes
are now due and those who pay prompt
ly will avoid trouble and expense.
My instructions from the court are to
collect from everybody, and those re-
naming delinquent after January 1st
may expect to be confronted with a law
suit. Of course this would be unpleas-
ant for me, but the law does not leave
the Collector any alternative; it is his
sworn duty to bring suit against all de-
linquents, and propose to follow the
law. A word to the wise is sufficient;
call at my Office and pay your state and
county taxes for 1898. l shall be glad
to see you. Resp'y,
p. w. WENTWORTH, Collector.
