It will take a small army of
men to take the income tax re-
turns of persons subject to the
new law. Collector of Internal
Revenue J. w. Bailey announced
Wednesday that 81 officers will
start from his headquarters on
January 1st and on January End
every one of them will be on the
job in the county assigned to him,
to meet the people and help them
make out their income tax re-
turns. The officer assigned to
this county is due to arrive here
on January 2 and to remain until
January II, both dates inclusive.
He will have his office in Rock
ingham in the Court House where
he may be found every day of the
dates stated. He will also be at
Hamlet from January IA to 18th.
1T will be we'll for every I'M

to call on the income tax man
and learn whether or not they
have any tax to pay" Collector
Bailey writes the Post-Dispatch
"The person subject to tax who
doesn't make return in the time
prescribed is going to regret it
The Government will get after all
income tax slackers.
There's hardly a business
man, merchant or professional
man who won't have to make re
turn of income. Farmers, as {

The safe thing to do is for every

who is not sure about what de

A WORD WITH WOMEN
Valuable Advice for Maysville Readers,

Many woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery Of backache,

spells, dizziness and kidney disorders,
HOPELESS Of relief because she doesn't

1t Is not true that every pain In the
back or hips is trouble peculiar to
the SEX" Otter when the kidneys get
congested and infiamed, such aches
and pains follow.
Then help the weakened kidneys.
Don't expect them to get we'll alone.
Doan's Kidney Pills have won the
praise of thousands of women. They
are endorsed-Read this Maysville wo-
mans convicing statement:
Miss Dora Edgington, Wood st.,
Maysvilles, says: II have used Doan's
Kidney Pills and from the results re-
ceived, l have every reason to recon-
mend them. At times, my kidneys have
become weak and have been irregular
In action. My back has ached, too and
has been very weak and lame across
my kidneys. When ever have used
Doan's Kidney Pills for this trouble
they have never failed to relieve the
complaint in a short time l gladly ad-
wise anyone to get box of Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Chanslor's Drug Store, II
troubled in that way"
Miss Edgington is only one of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doans Kidney Pills. II your
