PHILLIPS COUNTY, is DEAD

Capt j. d. Mitchell. aged 80 years,
father of j. w. Mitchell of this city,
died Saturday morning at the home
of his son. T. J. Mitchell. in Helena.
In an editorial tribute to Capt Mitch
ell. the Helena World in it's issue of
Sunday, said.
Again the World is called upon to
chronicle the death OF an old citizen
and good citizen. Capt. J. ID.
Mitchell, known to everybody as a
good, kindly gentleman, full of gen.
erous impulses anu the embodiment
OF courtesy, answered the final sum-
mons early Saturday morning, and
there is deep regret in the hearts of
most of us. That the Captains pass
ing from these scenes to the great
Beyond was peaceful and amid sur
roundings which he loved Is comfort
ing, but 1t detracts In no degree from
the genuine sorrow which is felt
here and elsewhere where he was
known. His was a gentle spirit, and
to know him was a pleasure. The
writer first met HIM back in the
early spring of 1907, and high re-
gard engendered at the moment in
creased as the years slipped by. Not
a month back the Captain, enfeebled
by years and suffering silently, per-
haps, from his infirinities, sat in this
office and discussed the news OF the
day for half an hour His was q
fragile frame. but out of his eyes
there came a beam of good humor
and kindness which told of the
gentle spirit within He talked Of
the war in which we are engaged
and expressed regret that he was a
little above the age for enlistment
He talked of the coming holiday sea-
son and of other things. but not a
word about his declining health. This
was his affair-his personal business
If you please-and he proposed to see
1t through just as he had seen many
another affair through to the end
during his long life. SO he chatted
and commented and delivered judg-
ment out of the profundity OF HIS
experience until he departed, leaving
a genial glow behind him Within a
week news of his illness was spread
abroad. and soon his friends. old and
young, began to fear that he would
not recover. 1t was SO; he continued
to decline until Saturday morning,
when he essayed to the Great I'm
known surrounded by those whom he
loved best and facing the future with
out a complaint. A good man and
kindly man. May he find the ulti
mate of his desires in the hereafter"

INCOME TAX OFFICER
TO BE HERE A MONTH
WILL ASSIST PEOPLE IN MAKING
RETURNS TO GOvERNM EMIT
ESTIMATED so2 IN LEE COUNTY
WILL PAY TAX

In communication received by
this pape Collector of Internal Rev.
enue Jack Walker. announces that
federal income tax officer will be
sent to this county on February
and will be here until February %
He will have his office in tho court
house in Mariana, and will be there
every day ready and willing to help
persons subject to the income tax
make out their returns without any
cost to them for his services.
How many income tax payers will
there be in Lee county? If you can
living with wife or husband will
have net incomes of $4,000 or more
and how many unmarried persons
will have net incomes of $1,000 or
over this year, then you know. The
collector of internal revenue esti-
mates that there will be 802 tax
payers in this county.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms provid-
ed for the purpose before March l.
1918 Because a good many people
don't understand the law and won't
know how to make out their returns,
the government is sending In this
expert to do 1t for them. But the
duty is on the taxpayer to make
himself known to the government.
If he doesn't make returns as re-
quired before March 1. he may have
to pay a penalty ranging from $40
to. $1,000, pay a fine or go to jail.
So If you don't want to take chanc-
es on going to Jail. you better call
on the income tax man. II you are
not sure about being subject to the
tax, better ask him and make sure.
Whether you see the income tax
man or not, you must make your
return If subject to tax.
OF course, persons resident in
other counties, may. if they want to,
come and see the income tax man
who will be at Mariana.
The collector suggests that every
body start figuring up his income
and expenses now so as to be ready
with the figures when the expert
arrives. Expenses, however don't
mean family expenses, money used
to pay off the principal of a debt,
new machinery buildings, or any
thing like that They mean what
you spend in making your money
interest, taNes paid, hired help,
amount paid for goods sold, seed,
stock bought for feeding, rent, lex
cept for your dwelling) etc. Income
includes about every dollar you get.
