Itantnn conntv bended off Columbia county this year in the matter of paying state tax. For two or three years Col umbia has been the first county to pay slate tax until this year, when Benton guts to tbe front, having paid to the iUUi last Saturday $4,000 on its stale tax account. However, Columbia might yet be the first to pay in full, and by so doing cheat Benton out of the honor which it is evidently attempting to win. Tax money is coming in pretty lively, and the county treasurer might hustle a check on to the state treasurer almost any day.
