short visit. It will be remembered Mr..
RAIDER was Q member of the State
Legislature and afterwards deputy
State Treasurer under Chas. Young.

condition. With all of Mr.. Raiders
good business ability. he was unable to
keep the colony on its feet. It is an
instance Of history repeating itself.

the levy. 1t would seem from this

might be held liable under an express

been generally understood the tax
liens will not attach as against vendors
till the month OF February following
