The general manager telegraphs that the
attitude of the Western Union Company as

belief that in day or two the general re-
strictions upon the acceptance of messages

Important to Land Owners

Tax collectors throughout the state have
been notified by State Comptroller W. j.
Swan that he will proceed to carry into
effect the act of the sixteenth legislature
requiring the comptroller to prepare and
forward to collectors OF the several coun-
ties, lists of lands that have been sold and
bought by the state for taxes and that have
not been redeemed,
Said lists are to be revised, corrected, re-
advertised and sold by the state for the
taxes and interests due.
The important feature connected with
this sale is that the purchaser at such tax
sale may have the land bought by him sur
Veyed by the county surveyor and the cor
rect field notes incorporated in the col
lector's deed. 1t is fact well known to
every one that the descriptions ordinarily
given in collectors deed are not fully
sufficient to identity the property Sold But
this defect will be removed in sale OF
lands under the above act. The lists in this
county are very large, embracing the years
from 1873 to 1881.
