This section of the country was visit

were low and gathering, it is probable
that the rain has been quite general.

The INDEX lost over $500 by not be-
ing posted in regard to the law. We
published the delinquent list, as the
law requires, but did not make an afr
davit to the publication, in the time
specified, consequently the collector is
prohibited from collecting the printers
fee. 1t was unadulterated ignorance
on our part. We did not dream that an
affidavit had to be made, except before
the county commissioners. We can i'll
afford the loss. but what we lose Will be
the gain of the delinquent taxpayer.
and his name is Legion" We think
that hardly a lawyer in the county
would have remembered this law if
some special circumstance had not
called it to mind.
