FORCE OF HABIT.

Lake County Star: It’s time now that people can pay taxes again, and soon the assessor will be around to put the tariff on for another year. If everybody would give in their riches as the law intends taxes would not be the night-mare it is to the rank and file. Their effects are in plain sight and they mu9t pay the last cent, while the more fortunate with their money behind veils can slip out by swearing to a lie, and it seems that all the way they can be caught at it is to die and try to pass the “pearly gates.” There they will be asked if they signed and swore to the assessor’s sheets which wfil be shown them, and perhaps some of them will lie out of it then. For Sale: — I have for sale at my farm iu Union township | mile south of Center school house. 800 bushels of white seed oats that I will sell at seed price, about 20 bushels of early choice yellow seed corn, well taken care of and will grow; some good timothy hay, and about 400 bushels of feed corn.
