DECEM Ser TAX COLLECTIONS
Collector Teare Makes An Unusual.
ly Large December Collection
A Splendid Showing.

The collections for the last month
Of the year are always much larger
than for any other month IN fact ,ful,
ly ii per cent Of the entire county
revenue is generally collected during
the month Of December, aud 10 our
mind this should not he. As the law
now stands, the state and county Is
spending its money long before 1t is
collected, and warrants are issued and
drawing interest, because the taxpay
ers holds OF until the eleventh hour
Of the twelfth month. and thus the
