y THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 1891. Shoes for Young:! Shoes for Old! Shoes for Rich! Shoes for Poor! LOOK AT VOUR TAX KECEIVERR MIZE'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1891 FOR SUMTER COUNTY. ' n Excllent Showing—Over 0303,000 Inerriu. Over Lut Tear-Only One Die- triet Show* a Falling Off-Xotlceable In. creaae of Property of Colored Farnien. SHOES! Don’t Ton M i In Pur ? Tax Receiver Mize's digest of the tax receipts for 1891 for Sumter county is ny at flattering to Mr. Mize as an official, and satisfactory In a marked degree to our people. And this is particularly creditable to Mr. Mize at this time, when the universalcryof “No Money” is beard in the land. The districts which show an Increase over last year are as follows. These are the various amounts of increase: Fifteenth Dl.trict t 2iai3 Slxt-rnth D strict old, j^oss Htxleenth i-lmrtct (new 3S,8ft> Seventeenth Dt-lrlnt j.p, Twenty-sixth Mstrlet Mdi: -thou Twenty-sixth D.strict new) 2-yjJ.I Twenty-seventh Ilnrcl 153,231 Twenty-math DutrUt a -THE- Great American tagle’ SHOE STORE, 119 Forsvth St. Hasju t what you want. In the Twenty-eight district a decrease is reported of $11,128. This gives a net increase of $303,138, to-wit: Total Incr a»e $314,286 Rm* decrease 11,128 <3'.'3,i88 A Sweeping Reduction will be made] on all Foot-Wear purchased of us iu the Next 30 Days! In this Sweeping Sacrifice Sale unprecedented bargains will be offered on all LOW CUT SUM MER SHOES, and;we expect that the announcement of this sale will "Sweep the Town!” We are not after room as most merchants would say—but are AF TER MONET—room we have enough—but are SHORT ON MONET. If you want to know what we mean by a SWEEPING Reduc tion, come to this This is a showing, for these alleged bard times, of which Sumter county may well be proud—and she is. And she is especially proud of her tax receiver, Mr. Mize, who evidently is possessed of that admirable quality which is expressed so euphoniously in Chinese, and of which a free translation into the native tongue might be rendered thus—"He gets there'.'' It will be noticed specially that the colored farmer is coming rapidly to the front in a solid aud sensible fashion. The Increase of property owned by this class is reported at nearly $43,000, which is an encouraging aud cheerful sign of the times. Take it all iu all, it is safe to say that Sumter's report for the year 1801 will compare favorably with au.v county in the state. And the indications are that the report of 18ftg will be far ahead of this report for 1891. Buy Carpets Now.
