ONE YEAR

This issue completes one year
of our prOprietOrship of the
Mansfield Mirror, and with the
next issue we take up our sec
ond years work in Mansfield.
During the year the subscrip.
tion has nearly doubled, the ad-
vertising patronage has shown a
good increase and in the job de.
partment there has been some
thing doing all the time. A word
about subscriptions "a large
number have paid US on sub
scription, many have not. If
you paid VS. when we first came
to Mansfield, remember that it
has been year ago, and another
$ would be welcome. If you have
not yet paid. remember a S or S.
would be thankfully received.
We have done our best to give
you good newspaper. If you
appreciate it, come in and hand
US $ for yourself. Another S to
send the paper to some relative
or friend during 1914 would also
be appropriate to the season. 1t
takes money and lots of it to
maintain and operate such a
plant as we have here in Mans
field and your $ $ are needed to.
grease the wheels and keep them
going smoothly. Come in before
the New Year and square ac-
counts with the printer. We eX-
pect to revise our list this month
and your S would be appreciated
more than you think. You may
imagine that 81 wouldn't help,
but when you stop to think that
maybe several hundred others
are thinking the same thing, you
can readily see it does help. Let
the remainder of 1918 be pay-up
week at the Mirror office. Let
each subscriber play Santa
Claus to the editor so he can play
Santa Claus to others. If our
present Office force is not able to
cope with the stream of 5 5 that
should pour in, more help will be
secured, so bring in your cash
and do your part.

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS

Taxpayers who are delinquent
in the payment of their taxes
this year will suffer a more severe
penalty than heretofore. While
the law is the same as it has
been for years, it has been the

the l per cent per month after
delinquency, but this year under
the recommendation of the State
Auditing Committee, the law
will be carried out to the letter,
and in this case, in addition to
the l per cent per month penal.
ty there Will be added a 1 per
cent commission. making in all
5 per cent added on January /.
1 would therefore urge that
every taxpayer avail himself with
the opportunity of paying his
taxes before January l and avoid
paying these extra penalties.
Very respectfully.

FILES A CLAIM AGAINST CITY.
Farmer Alleges Horse Met Death BY
Accident on Streets.

Independence, April 9.-Alleging
that his horse sustained injuries
while being driven on the streets of
Independence during the month of
January, which caused its death four
days later, ON. Lehman, farmer
living near Monmouth, has filed a
claim against the city for SIS. 1t
seems that Lehman's boy was riding
the animal, which stepped upon a
board in the street, causing it to fall,
and in the accident the animal was
injured sufficient tc cause it's death.
The claim and complaint were filed
with the finance committee for fur-
ther investigation, but from what
was said by members of the council
and the street commissioner it is be-
lieved that the city will not recog-
nize the claim. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Lehman will commence action
against the city for damages if he is
not properly remunerated for the
loss of his horse. The presentation
of the claim to the city is believed
to be preliminary steps toward
civil action against the city.
