Revenue taxes OF this County Tor the year 1858.
therefore earnestly request you to be prepared
to pay your taxes when called upon. Twas for
ced to borrow money Mt a considerable sacrifice
to pay the taxes for 1857, and thereby keep ur.
not only my own credit as collector, but the

me to the trouble and expense Of again borrow.

who are always punctual and need no second
dunning, but there are others who are too slow.
and think it no trouble for the Sheriff to call up
on them half n dozen times, and then nut him

be forced in such cases to adopt the motto.
"peacably if can forcibly If must,n notwith-
standing it will be very unpleasant for me to
do so.
To those who are in arrears for taxes of 1856

can be givcn;' so prepare to "fork over - and
save. costs and trouble. Respectfully Yours,
