Taxpayers return what they own
on the first day Of January, 1898.
All personal property and real es-
tate must be returned 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
payers owns realty, to insert the
postoffice as their place of residence.
and those who only own personal
property, to give the party's name
who owns the land they live on as
their residence. which aids the tax
paver as we'll as the county treasurer
in making the collections and pre-
venting errors.
Every male citizen between the
ages of twedty-one and sixty years
on the first day Of January. 1898, eN-
cent those incapable Of earning q
support from being manned. or from
other causes. shall be deemed tax
able polls. This does not apply to
Confederate soldiers over fifty years
Of age.
Ali the returns that are made after
the twentieth day Of February will
i.have a penalty Of so per cent. added
thereto, unless out of the county du-
ring the time of listing. Not know
ing the time of listing is no excuse.
The assessing and collecting Of
taxes is all done now in the same
wear, and we have to aggregate the
! number and value of all the horses,
cattle, mules, etc, and their value
that there is in the county, and have
same on file in the Comptroller Gen
erals Office by the thirtieth day OF
June each year. And from that
time to the first day of October each
wear the auditors and treasurer S
! duplicate has to be completed and
an abstract of the work in the Comp
troller's office by that time, which
will show at a 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
l hope that all taxpayers will do NE
the favor of making their returns III
time,
J. EBERT DAVIS,
Auditor Clarendon County.
