ITAwAMBA COUNTY: Among the names
of prompt and efficient collectors on Audi
tor OWNS books will De found that of Mr..
John G. Gates of Itawamba county. Mr..
Gates is never behind with his reports or
payments-aIways has his papers in ship
shape and puts the "boys" In the office to no
trouble whatever to make his final settle
ments The amount charged against him on
account State tax 1880, was Sl,S4S57 and
his collections and payments into the Treas
ury had been so close that when the final
showing was made he owed the State the
insignificant sum of $1.35. On account Of
privileges, he paid during the year 1880,
1890. 00-no liquor retailed in the county.
MADISON COUNTY: The good people Of
Madison county are fortunate in having Mr..
J. L. Priestly for Sheriff and Tax Collector.
Through his CREASED lightning deputy,
Mr.. DeCamp, his settlement for the State
taxes of 1880, was made with Auditor Gwin
week before last Being charged with
IS, 1881 he collected s., 2SS.95, balance
allowed him as proper credits on insolven

Collector in the State-that his papers are
always in good shape-that his report and
payments are correctly and promptly made
and his "showings" first-class. Mr. DeCamp
after closing this settlement did not tarry
long in Jericho, but like an industrious
man, as he is, shook the dust from his feet
aud deoa8iped for-Canton, on the first
lightning express train that came along
PIKE COUNTY: To say that Pike county
has good Sheriff and Tax ColIector-that
he is never behind with his reports and pay
ments, that he ''fxes up" his papers in 0.
K. style, that he always manages to keep
everybody about the Auditors office in
good humor with him, would be just what
everyone knows who knows anything at all
about Capt. McNulty, hence we do not pro
pose to puff him in this notice, notwith-
standing he deserves as many good things
we would like to say about him. The
charge against him on accounto of State taxes
of 1880, was S4,79969, and his collections
$4,47408, balance all proper credits. Priv
ileges paid in during 1880 was $4,000, and !
liquor license 81, 10000.
SIMPSON COUNTY: The honest, efficient
and clever d. b. Weathersby has been Tax !
collector of Simpson county so long-havng I
been elected in 1S7l-that his people do not
know how to get along without him, and his |
dealings at the Auditors office are of such
pleasant character, that his pilgrimages to
"Mecca" are Il source of much qualification
to all connected Herewith In the language
Of most competent judge "Dan is mighty
good fellow" Well, now for the figures in /
his settlement: State tav 1880, charged
against him, S1,365.18, amount collected
81, 336.4l. Got it nearly all, didn't he
Privileges collected in $780, $3.50 90 liquor
liceses $4,000.
TIsHIsnNGo COUNTY: Mr. H. Ii. Wood
all is the name of the Tax Collector of
Tishomingo county, but from the close
manner in which he collects the taxes from
her people, one would suppose Graball or
Get-it-all would be more appropriate. With
such Collector as Mr.. WoodaIl the State
will always get her dues, and that too,
promptly and in season. Out Of the s. 1922 /
rs charged against him on account of State /
tax of 1880, he only claimed credit for
S50.87 having collected the entire balance. /
He collected on account Of privileges during +
the year 1880, $830.00-and on liquor licen- |.
ses 100000 The showing of Mr. Woodall +
is good one, and one too, with which I
Auditor Gwin is well pleased

1880, and his collections amounted to
Sl3, 1876, balance being just and legitimate
credits sustained by proper vouchers. On

liquor licenses $4,000 The reports and
payments of Mr.. Beck have always been
prompt and in due season-his papers in +
excellent shape and his showings good As
a Collector, prompt business man and
genial gentleman he stands well at the
Auditors Office, and we give him a good
puff" beck-ause the boys says he deserves it.

efficient Tax-collectors in the State is Mr. F
