ford is a county of small farms, and

NUMBER OF VOTERS REDUCED

Tuesday was the last day TO pay
State taxes without penalty to vote at
the election next June. You can, how
ever, by paying 5 per cent. penalty
vote if you pay by Monday night. The
number paying to Dec. | was far below
that of last year. In the election in
November for governor there were sos
eligible voters in Fredericksburg-74S
white and 65 colored.
Up to Dec. /, 1909, only 6l9 voters
had paid their capitation tax-55s
