REPLY OF MR. DARNEILLE
IIedeemable Sales Not Reported On
Tax Certificates for Many Reasons
Impossibility of Always Advertising
Sales IN Name Of Owner Of Record.

The District Commissioners recently
received q communication from Mr..
John E. Mitchell. secretary Of the Wash
iugton Real Estate Exchange, making
certain requests relative to tax sales,
notice thereof. owners name and tax
certificates. Mr.. Mitchell stated that
his request was the result Of formal
action by the board Of governors OF the
Exchange.
The language OF his request was that
the Commissioners should require that
all tax certificates hereafter issued by
the Assessor show on their face all tax
sales Of the property involved, the date
of such sale OF sales, the amounts sold
for, and the name OF the purchaser,
whether they are Tedeemable or ire
deemabIe; also that at least sixty days
before It is intended to issue a deed
for the property sold, the owner Of
record Tor his agent be notified Of his
delinquency in order that he may have
an opportunity to redeem it by the pay
ment of the tax and accrued penalties,
the period to be covered by the tax
certificate commencing with the date OF
the sct now governing the issuance of
tax deeds by the Commissioners.
We would also ask, continues Mr.
Mitchell, that in advertising property
fer sale, the name Of the owner of
record be used instead OF that of for
mer owner"
Referred to Mr.. DarneiIle.
The matter was referred by the Com
missioners TO Mr. h H. Danneille. the
Assessor, who today submitted a report
With reference TO the first item Of the
request Mr DarneiIle says:
a sale for taxes IS, SO far as the Dis
trict OF Columbia is concerned, a pay
ment OF such tax and subsequent to such
sale the tax is not due and unpaid, q"
and the law does not require its cita-
tion on tax certificates
Two years are allowed by law for re-
demption OF property sold at tax sale,
after the expiration Of which time the
purchaser IS entitled TO q deed for the
property so sold.
.sThe. reporting OF redeemable sales
On TAX certificates. while not required
BY law, as hereinbefore explained, is
regarded as sufficient Of an accommoda-
tion to those persons procuring certi-
ficates 10 warrant the time and labor
incident TO making such reports. II has
been for some time the custom OF this
Cflce TO report redeemabIe sales on Ger
tilcates and think this practice should
be continued

Sam Heiliger returned 70

Sam Heiliger returned 70 ce. ,F Tuesday noon, where he is attending Spears Langford, the work of which school has been little retarded by the recent fire. He visited his uncle, Abe Heiliger, while here.
 Dr. George Stephens returned from St. Louis Wednesday night and will be here until after election day, as he is naturally much interested, his friend Harry Ponder being candidate for prosecuting attorney.
 Mrs. R. F. Drummond and little LOyce, accompanied Miss Maud Drum mond to Paragould Tuesday morning. The last named has been in poor health and we hope the trip may i'm prove her.
 George Wright left Tuesday morn ing for Oil Trough, Fair View, Rosa and intermediate points, electioneer- ing in the interest of Jackson county's candidate for railroad commissi0~ CT, Judge J. w. Phillips.
 Capt. Joyce's residence was the scene of another attempted burglary Sunday night. It was only recently when this house was broken into, but the burglar was scared off. Sunday night the wouldbe intruder had no better luck and after trying to secure entrance was frightened away.
 Sheriff Randy with J. D. Neal, Ro- land Johnson and Lockhard Randy as deputies, raided a "crap joint' on lower Front Street Saturday night, owned by negro named White. Seven were arrested, of whom, three submitted Monday and paid their fines.
 Hon. B. w. Rector, candidate for governor, who made such favorable impression with a Newport audience Friday night, spoke at Walnut R.uge Saturday evening to a very large crowd, Gov. Davis being present and taking hand in the argument. The speakers, it is reported, came very near trying the pugilistic ability of each other. Colonel Rector passed through Newport Sunday noon on his way South.
 T. J. Watson returned Monday night from two months visit to Louisiana and Texas points, including Crowley, New Orleans, Beaumont and Corpus Christi. His friends are glad to see him back and to note that he is evi- dently enjoying good health. Election day is close at hand and they were expecting him. Miss Fannie Watson is now at Crowley, and will remain for longer visit with her brother, Dr. Ebert Watson, whom we are pleased to know is prospering and building up fine practice.
 Vice. President and General Man ager Beggs, of the Frisco system, ac- companied by the other officials of the road, left Saturday in their special car over the Iron Mountain for St. Louis. T. D. Kinman, Jr., formed one of the party, and with the officials met Col E. D. Chadick at St. Louis. Messrs Kinman and Chadick returned to Newport Saturday night, and, like the Frisco officials, over another roads property, but assure the INDEPEND- ENT that the construction of the Morn ing Star is a certainty, which is to be realized in the not far distant future, then they will ride over their own rails.

TIMELY WARNINGS.

CURED in prominent Eastern
Il Maryland towns. Ccntr"villr

emphasize the necessity of using every
conceivable prccaution. to prevent their
recurrence in this and other towns of the

While Elkton has been exempt in

reputation of fighting them more success

these facts do not lessen the necessity of
taking extra precautions against them.
