TaXpavers return what they own
on the first Gay of January, 1896.
All personal property, must be re-
turned this year.
Assessors and taxpayers will enter
the first given name of the taxpayer
in full, also make a separate return
for each party for the township the
property is IN, and where the tax
paver owns realty, to insert the post
office as their place of residence, and
those who only own personal prop
er:v. to give the party's name who
owns the land they live on as their
residence, which aids the taxpayer
as well as the county treasurer in
making the collections and prevent
ing errors.
Every male citizen between the
ages of twenty-one and sixty years
on the first day of January, 1896, eX-
cept those incapable of earning a
support from being manned, or from
other causes, shall be deemed tax
able polls. This does not apply to
Confederate soldier over fifty years of
age.
All the returns that are made after
the twentieth day of February will
have penalty of so per cent, added
thereto, unless out of the county
during the time of listing. Not
knowing the time of listing is no eI-
cuse.
The assessing and collecting of
taxes is all done now in the same
year, and we have to aggregate the
number and value of all the horses,
cattle, mules, &C., and their value,
that there is in the county, and
have same on file in the Comptroller
Generals Office by the thirtieth day
of June each year. And from that
time to the first day of October each
year the auditors and treasurer $
duplicate has to be completed and
an abstract Of the work in the Comp
troller's Office by that time, which
will show at glance that the audi
tor has no time to take in returns or
do anything else much, between the
first day Of March and the first day Of
October each year, but work on the
books and blanks. Therefore hope
that all taxpayers will do US the
favor of making their returns in time.
J. EBERT DAVIS
Auditor Clarendon County.
