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 q 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
chincry and engines, moneys, notes
acd accounts above Indebtedness, and
all 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-onc and sixty years, on the
III OF January, except those who are
Incapable Of earning a support from
being manned, or from other luscs.
are deemed taxable polls Confederate
veterans excepted.
And all taxpayers are required to
give the number of their school dis
trict.
After the 20,h day OF February next
fifty per cent. penalty will be attached
for failures TO make returns.
In every community there arc per
rons who cannot read or that do not
take n 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 VOL as
he acres Of land, lots and buildings
n their value that there arc in 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
tho Auditors and Trcasurcr's dupli-
cate have to be completed and an alb
stract Of the work in the Comptroller
Generals Office by that time which
will show at n glance that the Auditor
has no time to take rcturns, or any
thing else much, between the lst day
of October, but work on the books and
the blanks. We hope, therefore, that
all taxpayers will make their returns
in time.
w. l.. FERGUSON,
Auditor.
