Greenis busy of late in taking in the she kels that are due as taxes, and though the taxes were all due and should have been paid prior to December 20th, the date for the closing of the books, a con siderable amount is yet due, gome of which he is taking in daily. - N Executions are being issued as fast as can be, and in a very short time, when this job is com pleted, they will be turned over to an officer for service. Better get your taxes paid at an early date and save the trou ble and added expense of this mode of collection. Something like about sixty five per cent of the taxes has™ been collected to date. Good Plot Everything. A plot, after all, is a design to whigh everything elss must be subordinated if the reader's attention is to be en ticed and enthralled. Rude life may not conform to this design, and the psychologist may desplse it, yet there is no such thing as a good novel that has not a good plot.—Francls Hackett. Number 1 #
