bread as TO readers of advertisements.

filed yesterday with people who had
waited until the eleventh hour to pay
their taxes There was a bargain
counter crush all day. Though yester-
day was the last day it is likely that

ditional penalty until the delinquent
list is made up, and that cannot be
completed before the beginning Of the
year.

! auspices OF the Baptist church early
in January. As it will be impossible

may be willing to have one meeting
each held in their homes. Address

tvs property, chucked them into the

doors and windows Of the Office, while
everybody else within block had to
close doors and windows.
