+ A number of our brother editors

by the commissioners which sets forth
the fact that the personal property as

aver that it is a graft for the oficel
printer. As to the legality of the or

opinion, but we believe the effect of

good of the county. and'especially for
the honest people ofthe oouny--those
who list all of their property for. tax
alton. The tax dodger could by such
method be shown up among his
neighborS There is thousands of
dollars worth of propertyin this county
that has never paid a cent of revenue
to the county, and while such an or
der may put afew pennies in thep pocket
of some poor printer, othere is no
doubt but that it will also add many
hundreds of dollars to the re-

away Mr. Ross pulled his pistol and
fired three shots, two Of which struck
