We would call attention of all tax
payers to the necessity Of paying
their taxes before the 31st instant.
Last gear when cotton was very low
it was practicable to get an exten
sion of time for paying taxes, but
this year our people csn hardly
expect such Indulgence, because it
is generally recognized and admitted
that 1899 has been a good year with
prosperous business. and there is no
good reason for the extension so
tina: unless there is to be change OF
the fiscal year the State will want to
collect the taxes due by the eod OF
this month. and the very strong
probability is that she will insist On
it So it will be prudent business
precaution for every one to pay his
taxes before Dec 3!st, instant Pay
your taxes without delay. aud avoid
the rush at the last of the month.
