Bank Of Fergus County Third.
County Treasurer E. P. Chandler has
completed the work of sending out
tax notices to the number of about
$500, and is now kept fairly busy re-
ceiving the taxes. However, there is
no great rush of citizens to the treas
urer's office, and it is supposed that
as is usually the case, the larger tax
payers will wait until about the last
day, which, under the law, is Nov. 80.
AS that day win be legal holiday,
Mr.. Chandler has been informed by the
state examiners office that taxes will
not become delinquent this year until
after p. m. Dec. 1.
The largest amount so far received
from one person is $156, but the small
taxpayers are coming in right along.
The majority of them will not receive
their notices until about tomorrow, and
after that Mr.. Chandler expects to see
business pick up.
The Big Taxpayers.
AS usual, Oscar Stephens heads the
list OF large tax payers of Fergus coun-
ty, his contribution being $6,398.95,
which is a little less than he paid last

the Bank of Fergus County is third,
with $5,466.50, while the Barnes.King
company pays $3,07S. Last year there
