When they are allowed to run month after month without any change they become stale and unprofitable to both the reader and advertiser.

“Be regular and punctual in all things" was one of the old maxims, taught long ago. The last is not forgotten, but the first is scarce remembered, so irregular is the life of most people nowadays.

The question has been asked, what per cent is made by purchasers of real estate, sold at tax sales. If the land is redeemed inside of six months 10 per cent is charged; if redeemed after six months and inside of a year, 15 per cent is added; if permitted to run longer than 12 months and redeemed before two years after the sale, 25 per cent is added. If not redeemed in two years a tax title is made to the purchaser, who, to get a gixjd deed, must sue to quiet the title. Ligonier Leader.
