his deputy, L. r. Douglas, are busy
making out the 1915 tax receipts, so
that tax payers can get them by
calling on the sheriff and handing

ROLAND TAULBEE DIES

The body of Mr.. Roland Taulbee
who died in a hospital at Joplin
Mo-, was brought to this
city last week and inferred
in Machpelah cemetery after brief
services at the grave. The death of
Mr.. Taulbee causes profound regret
among a host of friends at his old
home. "Buck" Taulbee, as he was
familiarly known here, was a son of
DR.. James B. Taulbee, Of Lexing-
ton, for many years a well known
physician in this city, and was born
and reared here. He was thirty
three years old. When about eight
teen years of age he joined the
army and spent several years in the
Philippines, and about two years
ago contracted a disease which re-
suited in his death in Joplin hos
pital where he had been undergoing
treatment for some time. Mr..
Taulbee is survived by his father,
one brother, DR.. Woodson Taulbee,
of Maysville, and two sisters. He
was nephew Of DIR. j. H. Taulbee,
Of Lexington. The remains were
accompanied here by his father and
brother and other relatives.
