1T will save much time to taxpayers,
also greatly facilitate the work of the
Assessor. If every person before leav-
ing home will make out a complete
list OF every item of personal property
in the following order: Horses, cattle,
mules, 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
other property including house
hold.
1t is always required that the Audi

payer in full
Under the head OF place of residence
on tax return, give the township.
All male citizens between the ages
of twenty-one and sixty years, on the
1St of January, except those who are
incapable OF earning support from
being manned, or from other causes,
are deemed taxable polls Confederate
veterans excepted.
And all taxpayers are required to
give the number Of their school dis
uict.
After the Goth day Of February next,
fifty per cent. penalty will be attached
for failures to make returns.
In every community there are per-
sons who cannot read or that do not
take newspaper. Those more fortu-
nate may do such persons great favor
by telling them of the time to make
returns or by returning for them.
The assessing and collecting taxes
is done in the same year, and we have
to aggregate the number and value
of all horses, mules, cattle and other
pieces of personal property, as we'll as
the acres of land, lots and buildings
and their value that there are i'm this
county, and have the same on file in
the Comptroller Generals Office by the
Both Of June of each year, and from
that time to the first day of October
the Auditors and Treasurer's dupl-
cate have to be completed and an alb
stract of the work in the Comptroller
Generals Office by that time, which
will show at glance that the Auditor
has no time to take returns, or any
thing else much, between the 1st day
of October, but work on the books and
the blanks. We hope, therefore, that
all taxpayers Will make their returns
in time.
