The Last Cent

The treasury of the United States is
in the habit of collecting the very last
cent that is due, regardless of what it
may cost. A Deputy Collector of Har-
rodsburg, KY, received orders to go
out to the western part of Anderson
county and collect a balance of two
cents. He waited a few days until
other business required his attention in
that locality and then received and re-
ceipted for the coveted two cents.
