Autumn evening. The field, strewn
with its dank yellow drifts of
withered leaves, and the elms
fade into dimness apace." There's
the beautiful picture by Whittier:
Heap high the farmers win
try hoard!
Heap high the Golden corn!
No Richer gift has Autumn
poured
From out her lavish horn!
what calls back the past like
a rich pumpkin pie?
There is a hint of the end in
Browning's words: "How we'll
know what / mean to do when the
long dark autumn evenings come"
We cannot mourn the summer,
nor permit ourselves to become
useless while grieving over losses.
From each and every treasured
experience we should derive some
measures of courage, hope and in
spiration. We should be reminded
of our obligations and our re-
sponsibilities and we should devel-
op fuller realization of our pur-
pose in this world. Let us say
with the poet Zinzer:
How sweet the Summer! And
the Autumn shone
Like warmth within our
hearts as in the sky,
Ripening rich harvests that our
love had sown.
How good that ere the winter
comes, / die!
Then ageless in your heart I'll
come to rest
Serene and proud, as when you
loved me best.

SUITS

the years, with no effort to enforce
such payment, the county has lost
thousands of dollars, due to deaths,
and removals of property owners.
Some 400 of the recent letters of
notice came back, the postal author
tiles being unable to make delivery.
This is causing considerable extra
work in a skip-tracing program to
locate many such persons.
Of the 100000 delinquent taxes
reported by the auditor as of June
80, 1858, many thousands have had
to be wiped off the books, as being
worthless. Failure to collect these
sums ran county affairs Gin the
hole" The work of Capt. Tillett has
paid off in fine style, and money
continues to come in, even from
some who had declared they would
not pay. Of the large amount past
due, one well-known citizen paid
more than $4,000 and said he had
never been requested in the past
eight years to make payment.
County attorney w. H. McCown,
Jr., is now engaged in preparing
the foreclosure suits whereby,
unless payment is made soon, the
property will be sold. Considerable
praise is being offered by those
citizens who have paid their taxes
regularly through the years, and
being laughed at by those who re-
fused to pay. The burden of sup
plying the money for schools, and
other county purposes has been
borne by the faithful taxpayers,
while many who never bothered
about paying at all, have gotten
most benefits through schools and
other divisions of government.
Conditions are now going to be
different. Under the new budget,
which was not equitably prepared,
the county stands chance of being
in worse financial straits than ever
unless these taxes are collected.
Failure to get the money will re-
suit in embarrassment to several
county officials.
For more than two years, pub
Lefty has been given this situation,
all of it based on the figures is
sued by auditors. Some county Of
ficials and employees have insisted
it was all a lie, and even claimed
there were no delinquent taxes ow-
ing, particularly was such claim
made by some whose responsibility
it had been to collect them. But
this newspaper doesn't lie; it at
tempts to express the view of those
people who wish a square deal, and
defies any person to refute any
statements it has made concern
ing county affairs.

WHITE CANE DRIVE
By LIONS IN DARE

In connection with this months
White Cane drive sponsored by the
Lions Club, the following procla-
nation has been issued:
WHEREAS, good vision is a
precious gift bestowed by God and
nature upon all mankind, and

to neglect and for that reason is
needless,
THEREFORE, we owe it to our
selves and our loved ones to recog-
nize the wisdom of protecting
vision, to join fully in the battle
against blindness, and to learn how
to take care of our eyes and the
eyes of our children, and

care, and by supporting research
efforts which will help all mer
enjoy the blessing of healthy eye,
