IMPORTANT TO TAXPAYERS
Judgment and condemnation of De-
IinQuent Property Asked for and
Refused.
he Memphis Appeal, Sept. u.

From the Memphis Appeal, Sept. L.
Yesterday George R. Powell, tax
collector of Shelby county, presented
a list of property on which the taxes
remain due and unpaid, and moved
the first circuit court for Judgment of
condemnation against all the items of
property named in said report, for
the taxes due and unpaid thereon for
the year 1872. The said motion was
considered as to the lot ofG. L. Beau
regard, No. 80, Williams sub-divis-
ion. west side of Lauderdale street,
southwest corner of Jackson street,
six and fifteen-hundreth acres, ly-
ing in civil district No. IA, in Shelby
county, Tennessee, and valued at six
thousand five hundred dollars, the
taxes due thereon being sixty-eight
dollars and twenty-five cents. Judge
Heiskeu overruled the motion to con-
denim, and the court was of the opin-
ion that the collector in not entitled
to Judgment of condemnation accord
ing TO his motion, because the law I'M
der which he asks it has been repealed
by the general law on the subject of
assessment and collection eff taxes,
approved March %, 1873. The court
says li1ul b0CduSC liz al LUZ ll4
motion is given in said act of March
%, 1873, the motion is denied and o.
verluled. AR. Powell, appealed from
the ruling of Judge Heiskell and filed
his bill of exceptions to the special
term of the supreme court that con-
Venes at Jackson the first Monday in
October.
This is a very interesting case, and
it's argument before the supreme court
will, perhaps, result in something def
mite touching the question at issue
The supreme court have already adj
Indicated some of the principles in
vOlved under the new assessment act,
and hold that all lands, reported after
April 2, 1873, can only be sold under
the new act above referred to.
EB A double blessing is he who
provides well for the present, and
who 'leaveth an inheritance" to rep
resentiog him when he is gone. At
age thirty-five a policy for ten thou
sand will cost one hundred and fifty
dollars on the renewal-term-plan of
the Mound City Life Insurance COM
pany. The difference between the an
nual payments, at mutual an renewa-
BILE term rates, deposited in q savings
bank from year to year, and accumu-
lated at six per cent interest, will, in
twenty-five years amount to over three
thousand six hundred dollars, equiv
alent to an annual dividend OF fifty
fire per cent This is quite sum to
save for present use whilst keeping in
force all the time policy for ten thou
sand dollars of reliable indemnify.
The Company furnishes the strong
guarantee of a capital paid III Of half
a million dollars, and reserve sufh-
cient to provide ratio of assets to
liabilities of$194; or, for every 800
of liability, 1874 of assets.
Please remember that a man, say
40 years old, can get a Policy for
S15 SO on the thousand, on the renew
able-term-plan, Mound City Life In
surance Company.

pany or its plans will be cheerfully
