work of the Assessor, If every per-
son before leaving homo will make
out a complete list Of every item Of
personal property in the following
order: Horses, Cattle, mulos, sheep
and goats, hogs, watches, organs
and pianos, buggies, wagons and
carriages, dogs, merchandise, ma
chinery and engines, moneys, notes
and accounts above Indebtedness,
and all other property including
household.
1t is always required that the

the taxpayer in full.
Under the head Of place Of resi-
dence on tax returns give the

Ali male citizens between the
ages of twenty-one and sixty years,

districts.
After the Goth day Of February
next fifty per cent. penalty will be

In every community there are
persons who cannot read or that do
not take a newspaper. Those more
fortunate may do such persons q
great favor by telling them Of inc
time to make roIurns or by return
ing for them.
The assessing and collecting
taxes is all done in the same year,
end we have to aggregate the mum
Der and vBlue Of all horses, mules,
cattle and other pieces OF personal
property, as well as the acres of
land, lots and buildings and their
value, that there is In this County,
and have the same on file in
Comptroller Generals Office By the
cobh VI OubO W tuCl year ana
from that time TO the first day of
October the Auditor and Trcasu-
rer's duplicate have to be com
pleted and an abstract Of the work
in the Co~mptroller's Office by that
time, which will show at a glance
that the Auditor has no time to
take returns or anything else
much between the LIST day of
March and tho 1st day OF October
but %ork on the books and the
blanks. We hope therefore that all
taxpayers will make their retuns
in time.
