The sale of land for taxes
will be found in this issue, and
along list it is. It is a dis
grace to our county. The
Sheriff is doing only his duty.
People in Harnett are not poor
er than in other counties, but it
seems that they are just negli
gent and have been putting it
off. This is one reason why
the county funds are always
behind. Taxes must be paid
and our people should be taught
that they must pay them
promptly. ,. True the Sheriff is
somewhat to blame for this
state of affairs. He has been
too lenient. No doubt that
many whose names appear in
this list will bo offended, though
they have no cause. No one is
so ignorant that he did not
know that his taxes were long
nassed due. Blame yourself,
don't blame Sheriff Pope. He
has waited with some of you j 5

but he would not work and talk
ed very ' 'sassy" to Policeman
Wade, who took him to the lock

water. Yesterday morning he
was in a more humble mood and
worked very well. At yesterday
mornings session he had three
colored ladies from the 'bowery'
before him. They were Eliza
Spearman, Susie and Georgiana
Parker. On Saturday Georgiana
went to Eliza's house and she
and Eliza got into a fight.
Georgiana' s bonnet was thrown
into the fire and burned. After
the row Eliza went up to the
Mayor to get a warrant and
Vhileshe was gone Georgiana
went into Eliza's house and
took her-Sunday dress and threw
it into the fire and burned it.
Susie was acquitted as she was
only a spectator in the fight and
only took a spider lid away from
Eliza. Georgiana admitted
burning the dress and for this
she was reauired to oive bond
