TAXES THEN AN ISSUE THE
SAME AS NOW.
In the days OF 1890 the love for the
almighty dollar versus desire Tor the
public good seems to have been as
prevalent among some OF the citizens
of our country as is true OF the pres
ent time.
The following is a paragraph head
ed Taxes" taken from the paper:
Il have waited upon number OF
nersons numerous times, for the
amount of their tax, without obtaining
it. The season is now getting SO tar
advanced that it is becoming exceed
ingly inconvenient to pay many VISITS
and it i, absolutely necessary that the
money should be obtained, and | hope
that these who have it to pay would
endeavor to comply with the demand
To those who call and settle the
amount shall feel myself much
obliged and hope that those upon
whom | call for the purpose Twill en-
deavor to make one call sufficient.

Collector of Christiana Hundred.

clothes not recollected; it is most like
" he has made his way to Philadel
phia, as he has some relations in tn
city from the same neighbOrhood.
The patent medicine advertisement
occupied just as conspicuous place
as they do in the current numbers Q
newspapers.
So the story OF human nature run
on! We find great part of til
amount that is worth while which on
present papers give, and an absenc
OF the sensational that modern jour
, nalsm has adopted. The dignity {
D the paper was not touched with
$ smack OF gossip, but rather busted II
y self with those events which have gon
down into history.
; Aside from a consideration of tn
: advertisements we find little that
: an indices to the habits and custom
: of the people. They, with their sue
r gestons of the supplies calculated
e meet the demands of the age, remir
o us that people themselves, as gener;
tons come and go, have changed b'
