Notice is hereby given that Depots for the eolse,,
of the Tax in Kind have been established AT the EI
lowing places, viz: Monroe, Piueville, ChGrIo,,.
Davidson College, Harrisburg, Concord China C,ro,
salisbury, Rowan Mills, Newton, Lincolnton Dali,
Brevard's Station, Cherry Station and Shelby
In establishing these Depots county lines have A,,
entirely disregarded and producers will be allowed IA
deliver their 1.-THE at any one of the abov, named
depots be may choose; yet 1t is requested, for the
good of common cause, that all producers Who can
will deliver at some of the above named Depos an
a Railroad line. Farmers will at see The reason
for my making this request. Ii complied With bro.
duce be Immediately supplied for the use Of the
army. ISL
The law requires producers TO deliver the ,iibs Al
any point indicated within eight miles OF the place Of
production, but IL 10 impractieable to establish
Depot within eight miles OF every producer the gov
ernment expects every man to lend helping hand and
deliver bis produce even fifteen or more miles II ne.
cessary. The producer will lose very little time
by delivering fifteen miles than eight, besides he will
be literally paid by ny agents for the excess Of eight
miles
IT, however the nearest collection depot 10 not on
Railroad and the producer will deliver some one Of
the above named depots Railroad line, he will he
paid for the difference between the distances from the
place of production and the depots respectively
Being for instance, IL miles from established depot
on railroad line and only of four miles from the
Jest collection depot off of railroad line the producer
would be paid for eight miles.
Produce will be delivered in the ordinary markets.
BILE condition OF every kind OF produce must
be dry, otherwise il will damage despite all my efforts
Ito save il.
As general thing, farmers have not the means Of
Ireighng their long forage but they are expected TO
estimate nearly possible the Government portion.
It is expected that Oats be delivered by the busbe
aud the amount be ascertaned by threshing the
tenth of the bundles grown.
The produce given in on the same estimate must all
be delivered at one depot, but producers owing 1.-THE
from different counties extreme partt OF the same
county, give in different estimates and deliver
the depot convenient TO the place Of production
The Assessors will ascertain from each producer At
which of The above named depots he will deliver bis
1.-THE and state the depot the back OF the estimate
so that ] may know TO which agent to transfer the
Estimate. Should there be cases in which the produ-
Ger will not obgate to deliver at any Of the above
depos the Assessor will ascertain and state on the
back of the estimate the distance and direction from the
nearest collection depot.
1t is hoped and believed that the people Of the Dis
trict will be prompt in delivering their 1.-THE and thu'
show that they law-abiding citizens and wing 10
their mite for the support OF our nobe cause
Can we not cheerfully give own government o"'-
tenth in view of the that enemies exact n'nt-
tepths for the support Of their government OF our
fellow whom they have oyerrun2 Yes, fellow
