ADVICE TO TAX COLLECTORS
AND TO DELINQUENT
TAX PAYERS.

The following communication,
which we copy from the Marks
vile Bulletin. contains useful in
formation and advice to delinquent
taxpayers throughout the State:
Dear Editor-I do not think it
out of place to advise the tax col
lectors and the persons who owe
back taxes, Of the law lately enacted
by the General Assembly of this
State, numbered 96, which makes it
the imperative duty of each Tax
Collector in this State to proceed,
Immediately after the promulga-
ton of said law, to prepare the
necessary records, and to advertise
aglthin four months of said promul-
cation, all property which has been
forfeited to the State, and all prop
erty upon which taxes are due, to
the State or parish, piior to the
LIST of January, 1880 And that if
the Tax Collector fails to advertise
such property and offer it for sale
within said four months, he and his
sureties IN soido shall become per-
sonally liable and bound for the
entire amount of all such taxes, IL
conses, interest, expenses and costs
due up to the LIST OF January, 1880.
And that said law also makes it the
imperative duty OF the District At
torney to institute forthwith, after
the four months of said promulga-
ton, suit against any Tax Collector
who shall have failed to advertise
and offer for sale the property of all
delinquents, in tue name of the
State and parish, and to obtain
Judgment for all the taxes, etc,
that said Tax Collector may have
failed to collect by not advertising
and offering for sale as aforesaid.
do not think the advice to the
Collectors out of place, because the
time left them is somewhat short,
for them to fulfill all the require
ments of the law, particularly here
the amount of back taxes due is az
great as it IS in our parish.
Nor do / think it out of place TO
let all delinquent taxpayers know
that their property, either returned
to the State, or OH Which they owe
taxes previous to the LIST of Janu-
airy, 1880, can be advertised and
sold, or returned to the State, NTH
out redemption.
That the same law RENTS to them
ell the penalties heretofore attach
ed to their taxes for their delin-
quencies, and that in place of the
penalties heretofore imposed, they
owe eight per cent. per annum in
terest ON their taxes from the time
due.
THE LAST RELIEF OFFERED.
The delinquent can go forward,
confess judgment before the Tax
Collector, waive all defense, pay
one-third of all he owes in cash,
and the law gives him two years to
pay the BALANCE in, to-wit: One
half on the LIST of December, 1888,
and one-half on the lst of Deem
Der, 1854. This confession Sould
be made within fogsa months after
the PRONUNCIATION OF Said law, which
was signed by the Governor on the
9th of July, 1882.
l hope that no Tax Collector will
overlook the requirements of said
law, for many reasons.
Yours, etc,
a TAX, PAYER, NOT DELINQUENT.

We see nothing more in the city
papers about the project Of supply
ing New Orleans with pure water
from the Bogue Falia. The CON-
mittee OF experts reported that the
water was perfectly pure and
healthy, but the New Orleans
Waterworks Company, which has
monopoly of furnishing the city
with water, is perhaps not willing
to so to the expense of laying pipes
across the Lake. If that company
is unwilling to supply this water,
Dr. permit any other company to
supply it, the citizens ought to as
sers their rights, rise in their might
and demand it. Pure water is of
vital Importance to them, and they
should insist on having it, no mat
whose head falls in the-water
bucket.

DEATH OF G. Il. HENRY

Oh. Henry, an old and respected
citizen of Emporia, died last week
on Wednesday, at his residence on
Mechanics atreet opposite the Emporia
foundry, aged about 20 years. The de-
ceased had no relatives here, and made
his home with D. T. Jeffries, by whom
he was we'll cared for during his illness
which dated from some time in May.
His aiiment was paralysis, and IN his
helplessness Mrs. Jsffries was
an attentive and kindly minis
ter to his wants. Mr.. Henry
was a stone mason by trade. He was
a very devout man, and employed every
leisure moment in reading the Bible, to
which he was so devoted that we learn
he willed all his property, consisting of
the house and lot where he lived, TO the
Bible society, making D. w. Eastman
his executor. He had relatives in Ohio
and Iowa, and they have been advised
of his death. The funeral took place
last Thursday, and Rev. DR.. Cordley, of
the Congregational church, conducted
the services.

at the state soldiers reunion held at
Topeka, in August, there was a pretty
general sentiment among the veterans
against holding the next reunion in con-
nection with the state fair, and Emporia
was regarded with considerable favor as
a suitable place fpr Ii ,i,iit,s the Ie..t re-
union. l.. pursuance of This fact the
matter was brought up at the meeting
of Emporia Post No. IS. g. A. r.
last week, and committee, of which
Judge Buck is chairman, was appointed
to take steps to have the reunion held al
Emporia next year. We are more
centrally located than Topeka, our RAIL
road facilities are first-class, and VIC be-
lieve that Emporia could care much
better for the soldiers and the visitors
who weuld be expected to be present on
such an occasion, that Topeka has evci
been able to do in connection with the
state fairs.

A Pleasant Compliment.


Mayor Eastman, whose term of Office
as county treasurer expired last week
experienced very agreeable surprise
Thursday, when he was called into
the Office of the county clerk and pres
ented, in the presence OF the county Of
ficials and their deputies, with hand
some gold-headed cane. The presenta-
tion was made by Probate Judge KEEL
logg in that felicitous manner for which
he is noted. and the expression of regard
to which he gave voice in behalf of the
county officials and their deputies,
was more gratifying to Mr.. East
man than the beautiful gift which was
placed in the hands of the wondering
recipient at the close of the address, and
was acknowledged in a brief, but fer
vent expression of thanks.
The cane is of ebony, with a head of
gold, one side of which bears the in
scription, I'D. w. Eastman" and the
other "Presented by the county officials
and deputies" The compliment was
well bestowed, and is a very pleasant
commentary on the high regard in
which Mr.. Eastman is held by those
with whom he has sustained such agree
able official and social relations.
