Mr.. Zueblin said that he surmised

To keep down any trouble in the fu-
ture regarding the payment of back
taxes on timberlands not only in For
rest county, but in every county in
Mississippi, the tax assessor and his
assistants of this and other counties,
have received definite instructions
from the state auditor regarding these
assessments.
Duncan L. Thompson, the state audi
tor. has addressed a letter to the For
rest county officials in charge of this
work, calling attention to their duties,
and directing them to see that their
assessments at all times show the
valuation of timber, in order to avoid
any trouble in the future. The recent
decision of the supreme court of Mis-
sissippi on this point, is discussed in
the letter.
1t is as follows:
1.-The supreme court, on the 14th
inst, rendered a most important deci-
sion to the assessment of timber.
ct was held that, unless the land
roll show the valuation of timber, the
revenue agent can have the land own
err assessed for the timber on the
land; roll show the assessment of tim
, Der. the land owner cannot be disturb
ed by the revenue agent, even if the
timber is grossly undervalued.

sessments show the valuations of tim

and improvements on lands, in cities

shown.
'It is impossible for the auditor t.
approve the land of personal roll, .un

erly filled in. | am pleased to advise
that the work of the assessors hereto
fore has been satisfactory, and | fee
sure that the 1915 assessment rolls
will plumb the law to the letter"

 when one compares the German general staff report with that of the British, there is irreconcilable difference.

 Since the preceding day had been very quiet, entered upon the field of the battle of a, spot which, accord ing to British representations, was a part of the gain in the battle of Neuve ChapelIe.
