When the collector called several shops refused to pay on the ground that the city under its charter bad no right to tax them. The city brought suit and the case went to the circvit court. Judge Lay took the noirts a-gued under advisement and a few days azo de cided the case in favor of the city. A Humorous jFact About Hood's Sarsararilla—it expels bad humor and creates good humor.
