GUM HOUSE
Sold at Public Auction YeSter-
day, Bringing $265.

The two-story, l0-room frame
house on the South side of Ninth
street, known as the "Dr. Gum
house." was sold yesterday morning
at public auction. The first bid
cried was $3.50. Then an advance
bid was made, another following
until $265 was reached, when it was
knocked off to Phil X. Redd.
The price is considered low, but
as the building will most probably
have to be torn down, the price re-
ceiyed was much under its real
value. It is not known what Mr.
Redd will do with it. The house
must be removed by July 8th. II is
not known when the Government
will begin the work of putting in
the foundation for the postoflice
building.
Mrs. George M. Steele, the pres
ent occupant of the premises, has
taken rooms with DIR. and Mrs. Roz-
zell. at 7th and Clay streets, and
will move Monday.

VigO Barnes and Fred Jackson
Completed Six Weeks
z Job Yesterday.
FOUR HEAVIEST TAY PAYERS
Taxable Property Of City and
County $l2,OS2, no.
2,217 Dogs.

You can pay your State and coun-
ty takes today if you want to.
Deputy County Clerks Vigo Barnes
and Fred jackson completed the
new tax books yesterday. They
waited until today to turn them ov-
er to the Sheriff. Yesterday was
the only Friday the 18th in the year
and. though they have no more sup
Ierstition than most people. and ur-
gency not demanding it, they con-
cluded to wait until today.
The completion Of their work re-
veals good many facts, the more
prominent of them being that the
taxable property of the city and
county subject to the State and coun.
ty taxes aggregates $2,082, 74O; g.
1852 polls; 4,S65 road polls and 2,217
dogs.
The four heaviest tax payers and
amounts are as follows:
K. T. Rives. ........ 1852 62
Meriwether Mason. .......... $500
Edward d. Jones. ......>........6 sos .05
Miss Louise Jones'. ..........521. 90
The above is exclusive of the diff
ferent corporations.
The new books will be found to be.
most probably. a great Improvement
over the old ones. All tax receipts
are made out in duplicate and are
perforated. The amount is stated
and every item as assessed for taxa
ton. The Sheriff has no bookkeep-
ing to do whatever except to keep a
memoranda of his days business.
The taxpayers names are all entered
alphabetically and the collector will
have no trouble in finding their
names when they cell to pay. The
old receipts as everyone knows, did
not show for what property the tax
es were paid. The new receipt gives
everything and when the assessor
for the next year takes the list all
that is to be done is to hunt up the
last receipt and give in his property
accordingly, with what changes may
that may be necessary. 81
After the limit for paying taxes
without mourning the penalty has
expired and the delirquents are to
be waited on the original book of re-
ceipts will be used, this saving a
great deal of trouble to the collec-
tor.
The work of making out the books
has been a laborious one and very
tedious. but by diligence the two
deputies accomplished their task in
a little less than six weeks.

that he had deposited $40 he had
drawn out 81 and then sold his claim
of SIG to MaNey for $l2,o0 Mitchell
Kohencr had deposited $40. and had
drawn all of it but $50. but of this he
gave a lawyer s. to settle, and finally
received $21.2o
The testimony Of Cushman was
such as to convince the jury that he
had gone into the bank to settle up
ifs affairs and that he had done the
best he could to do 50. He claimed
that the realizing on a note which the
bank held of Mrs. * r. JaGgers
would alone settle up its affairs and
that THE note was secured by valuable
