Dog Tax Must be Paid.

The proper authorities say that the
dog owners of Ardmore must pay
their dog tax if they would not have
the hard-hearted minions of the law
gobble up their canine possessions
and send them to the happy hunting
grounds. This morning j. B. Jones
was appointed a special policeman
with instructions to notify all dog
owners who had not paid the requir-
ed tax to do so at once. Ten days
will be given, it is said, from the time
of service of notice and if the tax
is not paid in that time such steps
as may be found necessary will be
taken, thus adding to the cost for
the dog owner. 1t is thought that it
will take about sixty days to notify
all delinquent owners of night dis
turbers in this city.
