Enterprise The real estate of E. Cooper

ton. formerly of DoWner. The property
was sold . I great sacrifice, being knocked
down for $1515 Itcost nearly $4,000.
Enterprises Thomas @ Allen, of the
Lynnhurst Poultry Yard Glassboro. had 81
entries at the Delaware County Pa, Ponl-
try Show, this week at which he received
total of 81 premiums, 81 first prizes and II
seconds. The total amount realized on
these prizes was $S3 90, netting $50 co. Mr.,
Allen received an order on Thursday for a
pair of his high bred bantams for which he
got $50.
The township of Glassboro has Collec-
tor. In 1896 citizen of that town was
assessed a poll tax but refused to pay.
Recently the Collector took legal means to
get the money tor The township, and when
the tax-shirker saw the Jail staring him in
the face he changed his mind, paid up, and
rushed into print for vindication. This
brought out letter from the Assessor who
affirms that the gentleman was regularly
assessed in May 96, while a resident of the
town, and which closes with this SEN
tence: | wish totake this opportunity
to inform Mr. and all others who re-
fuse to paw their tax that they will be
dealt with strictly according to law.
Yours respectfully,
L. w. SIcKLER,
There has apparently been no effort to
collect poll taxes in this city except from
those who pay property tax, as the books
of the late collector contain columns OF
names of delinquents. With an equitable
assessment and Collector who was willing
to perform his plain duty, Woodbury's tax
rate would be materially reduced.
