COLLECTOR CO0NEY
 READY FOR RUSH

Tax Collector Bernard F. Cooney and his corps of assistants at the Town hall have their hands full just on the grand list of 1912 which are payable May 1 of the present year.
 For weeks past, the regular assist ants in the office, with several extra clerks and book-keepers to help ther24, have been busily at work making out the bills for the taxes and as duplicate bills and bills for the street sprink- ling tax had to be made out, the job was a stupendous one.
 Between 12, 900 and 13, GOO bills were made out, the interest and other com bling having to be done separately for each bill. The job has just been finished and Tax Collector Cooney wears a relieved look on his counte- nance The biggest part of the work, that of getting in the money from the taxpayers. is yet to be done, but Tax Collector Cooney expects the taxes te come in pretty rapidly after May l.
 The First District tax on this list IS 6 e-1O mills on the dollar, and on the Second Distract tax 1t is 6-1o mills on the dollar. The tax rate IS hlgher this year than the year before, II amounting to $1.10 more on thousand dollars than it did the year before.
 After June 1st, 1913, three-quarters of one per cent will be added, ana the same on the 1st of each month there after For unpaid taxes, liens will be filed on the last day of March, 1914
 For unpaid sprinkling taxes liens will be filed December IA, 1913.

 Just then Pickaninny Sam came in to tell Miss Ellen that the squire was in the parlor. She seemed irresolute for a moment, and then her face be- came hard as had never seen it be- fore.

 ''I do not, MT. Palmer" and she left me a prey to doubts that seemed to tear my soul asunder. When a woman hesitates I thought it always means yes, and had she not told me herself that she did not know how 1t would end? I spent the remainder of the aft ernoon in my room in any agony of de- spair, and in the loneliness of that great, half empded chamber ! cried to God to prevent such a sacri1ege. The next day and even the next one after that l never saw her alone for a mo- ment. Once I asked her to let me speak to her, if only for minute.
