vantage of this opportunity during this
month, no further opportunity Will be
offered them ior another year.
In the various districts throughout the
CITY and county the assessments are
hung up in public places for inspection
by those interested. Property owners
should make it point to inspect these
lists and examine their property assess

Throughout this month the Levy Court
will be in session at the Court House
each week from Tuesdays to Fridays
inclusive, and may occasionally sit on
Mondays and Saturdays also. This
should afford ample opportunity for al
