HEPAlD NO TAXES.

Clarion Ledger.
e A gentleman from Leakc county
tells quite an amusing little incl
dent.
On the first day Of court, re.
Gently, Senator A. j. McLauriD;
candidate for governor, Rev. Irwin
Miller and Hon. Presley Graves, cam
didates for the State Senate, had
made speeches.
AS Is always the case is these inte;
rior counties, everybody was in town
on the first day Of court, and the aus
dlence was large one.
When the three gentlemen men,
toned above had concluded and the
applause had died out, Judge Mayors
looked out over the crowd and asked
"Does any other candidate desire tU
address this audience? II so let him
come forward"
Immediately from the corner Of the
house squeaky little voice added {:
"At the expense Of the county"
There was a laugh OF course, but
the Judge broke in with, "How mucli
taxes do You pay, sirY"
There was no more squeaks from
the back corners, and it was after
wards found that the owner Of the
voice was assessed only with q poll
and tax not paid that,
What is true OF Leake county is
true the world over-the fellow who
pays the smallest tax IL the one who
does the biggest kicking about taxes.

left hand q sponge and In the right
section of the lemon peel, and, by
aextcrous pressure against the sponge,
ruptures the oil cells; the sponge ab-
serbs the oil, and dish held In the
lap prevents any being lost. When the
sponge has taken up enough Of the oil
to be squeezed out, this is done, and
the process repeated over and over
again. The tedlousness Of the method

that about 1000 lemons are required
