Tax Collections
Are Very Good
Property Owners Said To
Be Paying Up Better
Than They Have In
Many years
County tax collections are the
best in years. This years advertisement
of property for sale to
satisfy unpaid taxes had around
200 less names than last year.
Added to that, since the advertising
started an astonishingly
large number of taxpayers have
appeared at the tax collector's office
and settled their obligations.
With tobacco now being marjketed,
Collector W. P. Jorgensen
| thinks that collections will be
even better. The county commissioners
announced some time ago
that it was unfair to for those
who paid their taxes to allow
others to go without paying
j theirs.

EPORTS THAT PARIS
HAS CAPITULATED
srces To The South Moving
In To Join First *
Invaders
Radio reports today, Wednesday)
are to the effect that
Paris has fallen to the Allies. H
As this paper goes to press
the report is unconfirmed. It
is generally understood, however,
that the Allies have been
free to move into the city '{]
since early in the week. t
In a spectacular advance into '
ance, armored divisions led by
meral George S. Patton are
flashing in an unprecedented
ive which has taken them alady
to within 165 miles of the
:rman frontier. (
To the south of France the im- 1
irtant port city of Toulon has
:en encircled. American armor- fl
and infantry divisions are
oceeding toward the Rhone R
illey, a natural pathway to jfl
iris and junction with the fors
coming in from the Cherbourg
ninsula.
Tn Ihoir constat! nnal drive the
mericans have captured a num- :
ir of towns on the outskirts of B
e French capitol and it appears B
at the fall of Paris depends now
ily on the will o f the Allied (
aders. Tens of thousands of pri- B
ners have been captured and j
lemy resistance seems to be B
ry light. Confusion reigns in
e hastily retreating Nazi col- H
nns and reports from the front i,
ndicate that the drive has gain- B
I such momentum that it \yjll ..
! difficult to stop. (
Crowning the week of allied a
ilitary achievement has been the 1"
iveloping of Paris by the army i
General Patton. Throughout ]
z'.li-ji. ttr.s Ge.:?.al Patten |i
is been acclaimed the man of J<
ie week. His army, which in- (>
ided France two weeks ago, and
hich German propaganda at first iH.l
ught to miminize in import- B
ice, has been dealing death to jfl
hatever German hopes still ex- I i
ted Winning the war. [
So far as further usefulness to
crmany is concerned, Paris is
ready occupied with Patton's ary
coming in from all sides, j |
rench patriots inside Paris have
ien clearing the city of Germans. jB
lese patriots were supplied with |B
ms by American air express. t j
On every European front Am- |B
lean, Canadian and British for- | j
s have steadily piled up victor- J I
s since D-Day. The Germans 'j
ho developed the blitz against j I
e low countries four and five '
iars ago are now being over- r j
helmed by the same tactics ' |
