Do you know that we quite fell in love with Wilmington Hill when we were there two years ago, and we think that you cannot say too much in praise of it as summer residence and the view from the Pinacle can hardly be excelled anywhere. We enjoy the picture of the old schoolhouse, as we went to see it when there, and Mrs. Lathrop recalled her going to school the winter of 1962-3, when we occu- pied the parsonage with Pastor Pease and wife on the second floor. recall the only term of select school of my life, when ill the spring of 1845 about twenty of the young people of Will lington attended a school taught by Edward Mclean, a brother of Mrs.

GIVE TAX TO SHERIFF.
Kiene Will Take Over Warrants fol
Personal Tax.

Personal property tax warrants were
turned over to Sheriff L. L. Kiene to-
day for collection There is the usual
number, among them being quite lot
for people who, from the records IN
the past, do not intend to pay taxes
on their personal property.
There are, of course, quite a num-
Der of warrants for those who merely
overlooked their personal property taxes
in paying other taxes. This is easily
done unless one remembers to call the
attention of the county treasurer to
his personal property when he is pay
ing other taxes.
rs there any personal property" is
invariably asked of taxpayers. If they
have forgotten their personal the
chances are good they will not think
of it again until served with a notice
from the sheriff's office.
But there are other people who habit
ually fail to pay their taxes, and whose
warrants for years have been return
ed stamped, wholly unSatiSfied'' by
the sheriff
