TO THE AUGUSTA TAX PAYERS

Most OF the 1917 Poll Taxes have been
paid, vet a few have not performed that
duty. This Poll Tax was due last May
and its payment should not be longer
postponed.
Quite a number have also neglected to
pay their Property Taxes, and attention
is called to the fact, that the collector is
obliged by law to POST in TWO places
in EACH WARD. the name of every per-
son whose real estate tax is unpaid and
later TO sell the property. This advertise
ment of taxes will take place in Deem
Der, therefore PAYMENT should be made
AT ONCE.
For the convenience Of Tax Payers, the
Collector will during the month Of No
vember. accept the balance Of the 1917
taxes i'll one or more payments, so that a
person finding il difficult TO remit the
whole amount at once, may send what
they are able to- forwarding the balance
the last of November.
The Collectors Once is open daily from
9 A. NJ. to IL Noon. and from 1870 to P.
NJ. Saturdays from 9 4, NJ 10 u Noon.

INSPECTION OF PACKAGES
at Augusta Postoffice for Members Of
American Expeditionary Forces

Every day sees the arrival at the
Augusta postoffice of boxes for the
members of the American Expedition
airy forces abroad and Postmaster F. w
Plaisted and the clerks are kept busy
inspecting these packages jim order
that they may he promptly forwarded
1t is necessary that the contents OF
all packages be inspected before leaN-
ing Augusta, otherwise they would be
held up in New York before leaving
this country. After inspection the
postmaster certifies that the contents
have been examined and approved by
Kim and the box then goes through TO
the soldier boy without further exam
:nation The only articles prohibited
are those such as cannot be sent in
the domestic mail. viz: Liquors, match
es explosives, all liquids liable to leak
cut and damage other mail.
In many Of tho packages received 50
far tie senderk seemed possessed with
the idea that it is necessary to in
cludc matches. but matches although
very necessary article, cannot be
sent by mail.
For the inspection of the boxes it *
an excellent plan to have the cover
screwed on part WHY Out HUL ldSitIl-
ed securely by setting the screws, md
in case tho box is nailed, not to have
the nails driven way in. A letter must
not be included in the contents of Inc
box. otherwise the whole package has
to pay first class postage. a letter with
three cent stamp on it may, however
be attached to the outside of the box.
Each box must have upon it the name
Of the sender.
The weight Of packages must Ne
limited TO not over seven pounds on
account of the fact that the French
railway companies under their agree
ment with the French government re-
stricted the weight Of Parcel post
packages carried by them.

Commends Polk County.

Mr.. Editor
While | have the opportunity, |
want to express my appreciation
of the historical articles by MessrS
Clemmer and Shambln which
have appeared i'll the News within
recent months. From all educa-
tional viewpoint they are worth
many times the price Of the paper
BY the way, l an, gratifed to
learn that Benton still takes all in
terest in her schools. Before the
War between the States her schools
were among the best in the coun-
try. They not only furnished
mental training, but they turned
out real men and women. A
school that does not build charac-
ter as we'll as train the mind is not
worth the ground its buildings
occupy. An educated rascal Is a
greater menace to society than all
ignoramus.
Polk county seams to have re-
tanned her martial spirit. She sent
seven companiee to the front i'll
sixties, besides a number OF men
who enlisted III companies outside
the county. l have no doubt that
she will give a good account Of
herself in the great world war in
which we are now engaged.
