DELINQUENT TAXES.

OfFcE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL.
LITTLE RnrK. MAY 4

OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL,
LITTLE Rock, May 4.
Hon. William r. Millor, Auditor,
Little Rock
DEAR SiR:-I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of yours
OF this date, in which you ask
"arc county collectors Authorized
by law to receive and receipt for
taxes, penalty, ETC., on lands re-
turned by them as delinquent on or
after the goth April, inst. ?"
The act Of the general assembly,
approved February %, 1875, en-
titled Gan act to relieve the tax
payers of this state, and to suspend
the enforcement Of the collection
OF taxes for the years 1873 and
1874" does not, in my opinion,
have the effect to prevent the col.
lector from receiving and receipt
ing for the taxes, penalty, etc, ar
ter the taxes have become dein-
quent, and think the collectors
may properly receive Them at any
time before the clerks shall have
commenced to make the tax books
for 1873, but not thereafter, until
the tax books for that year shall
have been delivered to the collect
ors. All taxes not paid by the
% April, should be returned delin-
quent, and If paid after that time,
the payment should be properly
noted on the lists. This will en-
able taxpayer, who desire, to still
pay their taxes, and prevent any
confusion.
! am of the opinion that in re-
turning delinquent tax lists the
collectors should specify on the
lists the amount Of each separate
tax, state and county, as the same
appears upon the tax books.
Very respectfully yours,
S. p. HUGHEs,
Atty General.

EDITOR TINES You request in
your last issue that the farmers in
the different localities IN MISSISSIPPI
county, weuld give you Informs
tion IN regard 10 the crop in their
different neighborhoods.
In my immediate neighborhood,
(trom Thomas Bowen's TO J. W.
Williams0 there are in cotton
abont $40 acres fully as mnch or
more than last year; probably 25
per cent more corn, from the fact
that several farmers arc charging
their farms.
The stands Of cotton are only
tolerabIy good, and looking badly,
cn account Of cold weather and
worms. AS yet we have no stand
of corn gardens Indifferent.
We have lost several mules in our
section from gnats, and blind stag
gcrs, caused from over work and
eating frost bitten corn. Those
Lett are looking badly from neg.
Iect, in fact we do not deserve Il
mule or horse, for our treatment Of
them. No corn, no hay, no oats,
no fodder they seem to be fed on
barrel hoops.
Our own meal tubs are running
low, our credit bad, (judging from
the many mortgages being record.
ed by {. l.. Moorc) No money,
ANA all Oh account of King Cotton.
Will the farmers never profit by
sad experience. A ter will reap
the benefit Of the growing crop Of
Mississippi county.
In days ride oyer the county
you can see n hundred old meal
barrels, flour barrels, bacon hogs
heads, boxes ; everything bought 4;
nothing sold. Go to the Clerk 5
Office, and c. l.. Moore is kept busy
from day TO day, recording mort
cages given by the farmers, on
their poor mules aud growing
crops, Tor that which We all ought
to have in abundance, namely; meat
and bread. We are growing poor.
er and poorer every day, and the
sooner we arc sold out tie better
for us. Then we can work for our
"daily bread" or commence where
we began, and make an iudepeu-
dent living by using economy and
indushyj discarding the idea Of
makinga big fortune by raising
cotton.
Then 60 to work, farmers, IL
stead Of having tour htIhs Of your
farms in cotton, and one fifth IN
corn, reverse it; four ftths in corn
! and gra 5 and one fifth in cotton,
and soon you will not hn reopirod
to give u mortgage on all you pos.

Prospects Of the Growing
Wheat Crop.
In sv.ile Lcnrcr.

We print the first installment
IOf letters received i'll answer to
our inquiry in regard to the
growing crops. These letters
are from practical farmers, mil
lers and merchants, and may be
relied upon as giving correct
information, on a subject which
is Of interest to every person in
the country. The general ten
or is encouraging for The cXEcc-
tation Of a good wheat crop
In Tennessee, little OF no injury
appears to have been done to
the growing crop; but from the
southern border Of Kentucky
norihward, the injury from free
yes Is variously estimated at
from 20 to so per cent. Con-
siderable injury from this cause
is reported in Indiana. The
greatest INJURY Is reported IN
wheat soWn broadcast. That
drill-sOWE seems to have cs-
capped almost unhurt. The in
crease Of acreage in Kentucky
and Tennessee may be put down
ut about 20 per cent; while in
Indiana the acreage seems to
be about the same as last year.
Some Of our correspondents
think it Is too early yet to de-
tcrmine the crop prospect with
any accuracy, and promise to
write Us later.
