Wednesday night, and appointed Gil bert Nairn poll-tax collector, with in, structions to get right on the job and collect.
 Mr. Nairn, who is graduate of Yale and now engaged in the study of law in the offices of Coke Hill, was highly recommended to the council and his appointment was made unanimous. He was allowed a commission of ten per cent on all taxes collected and he has his work cut out for him. Besides, he apparently gets nothing from those who work out their assessment. Before assuming his duties, which are to begin at once, he will be required to put up bond of $500 for the correct performance of his duties.
 Every resident of the city is now subject to tax of S4, which he can work out in a day if he so desires. Those desiring to work may report to Chairman Barres of the street com mittee or to MT. Nairn, and will be told when and where they can get busy.
 If you should happen to feel oppress- ed and kick against this tax as a great injustice, as most Americans do when taxed directly, don't do it. It may cost you more and spell in jail. Just put up or go out and work like man. It's for your own and the public good, so jar loose and smile.
