The sale of tax certificates which
commenced yesterday morning, was a
reproduction of the stock market in

two or three acres off the north side
of the land. Such bidding as that
was never known heretofore in this
county. The competition was sharp,
and the average bids were from tc
IA acres. The market was badly
cleared" up till noon, after that the
panic was over, and the old time
"buying in line" took the place OF
