those who only own personal prop
er:y, 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 ID
making the collections and prevent
ing errors.
Every male citizen between the
oes of twenty.one and siXtv years
on the first day of January, 1896, ex-
cept those incapable of earning a
support from being manned, or from

age.
All the returns that are made after
the twentieth day Of February Will
have a penalty of 80 per cent, added
thereto, unless out of the county
during the time of listing. Not
knowing the time of listing is no ex-
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 Il 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 nope
that all taxpayers will do US the
favor of making their returns IN time
