A REMARKABLE FAMILY is
FOUND lIVINGiIINl ,C[IAYTON

An ut-of-the-ordinary family moved
into this town lately. They are domicil-
ed In n nice, comfortable but unpre-
tentious home. The head Of the family
rs a Virile looking. courteous gentleman
of some forty odd years and appears
TO be leisurely engaged in attending
strictly to his own affairs, what ever
they may be. The wife and mother is
comely matron for her years and
seems to be fully and happily occupied
In providing home comforts for her
husband and children. The children.
both boys and girls, are models of
gentihty, neat in appearance and decor
Gus. But there is something strange
about the whole family. Nobody knows
where they came from nor whittier they
are going. The father has never told
anyone that his ancestors fought under
Washington, participated in the Boston
Tea Party, or that he is worth a mil
lion. The mother has never even limited
10 the curious that her great, great
grandparents came over on the May
flower nor that her grandmother was
Kissed by President jackson. She has
never told anyone that she used to live
in colonial mansion and bossed ser
wants by the score; nor has she dis
played any rare old laces and feminine
gew-gaws worn by her great aunt at
a reception in honor of Marquise de
Lafayette. The Children go to school
and go home when school is over. They
treat their companions with courtesy,
but several of the rowdily inclined boys
will bear evidence that they will fight
on honest provocation.
They're a mystery to their neighbors
and tbs said the ladies' select sewing
circle Is up in the air

IS HERE CLASSIFYING LAND

y party of land classihers, working
under the dierection of the director of
the Geological Survey. is engaged in the
examination of lands in this vicinity
which are included in applications filed
under the stockraising homestead. or

Under the orders of the Secretary of

the purpose of obtaining the informa-
tion upon which the lands can be clas-
sified under this act. The classifica-
tions themselves, however are not made

survey at Washington. The reports of
the field examiners will be carefully
examined there under the instructions
of the Secretary and recommendations
will be made to him for the designation
of lands which are found to be OF the
character whose designation Is con-
templated by the grazing homestead
law.
The areas which have been applied
orfunder this ct are very lrge, and in
order to act on all the applications
that hive been filed it will be necessary
to examine fully 3O,OOO.OOO acres of
land in sixteen states. 1t Is the wish Of
Secretary Lane that the work maybe
expedited in every possible way and
applicants are therefore urged to CO.
opeate with the examiners by furn-
ishing complete information regarding
their lands and answering as accur
ately as possible any questions that
may be asked regarding the land. Each
examiner has been provided with an
Identification card issued by the 'lr-
ector of the survey. George Otis Smith.
in order that there may be no question
as to his official status.

from Clayton is A. N. Weeks, Max Drill,

EXCELLENT NEEDLEWORK IS
DONE BY CLAYTON GIRLS

While the older folk OF the com
munityare priding themselves on the
work they are doing for the Red Cross
and other war-relief organizations, a
mention of two excellent pieces of
needle work by two little Clayton girls
Is well deserved
Dorothy Atwater twelve years of age
has completed the work of knitting n
scarf which is example of needle
work worhy of praise had 1t been
done by an experienced knitter.
Another excellent piece of work is
a sweater made entirely by Ora Hum
ter another twelve year old Clayton
miss.
Some Sammle is going to be doubly
proud of his sweater or scarf when
he learns that it was the work of
little twelve year old fingers doing their
bit to insure he comfort of the brave
boys lighting to keep them from the
fate of so many other little girls over
there"

TWO new CLERKS WORMNG
IN OFFICE OF ASSESSOR

Mr.. r. H. Carter and Mr.. A. N Cor
neil are employed by the county com
missions for the purpose of Rb-
stracting and correcting the tax res
ords 1t is well known that tho tar
records OF Union county, as wen ~
those OF other counties in the state
are in a deplorable condition.
This condition is due to many causes,
which need not be discussed, az dis
cussion could not relieve the condi-
tions which have made this work nee
essary.
But the fact is, in many hundreds Of
assessed to two or more individuals
for the stme year, and in very many
cases the taxes on the same property
have been paid for the same year Ny
two or more individuals, each suppor-
ing that he was paying taxes ON his
own property, when one or the other
and in some cases both. were paying
taxes on property they did not own.
AS this work proceedr these gen
temen are compiling information that
Will be submitted to the district At
torney and which will .esult in a court
order providing for the cancella tIoa
OF erroneous or double assessments, A
list OF such erroneous assessmenta
VIII be submitted to the district nttor-
ney this week and will involve about
fourteen thousand acres of land On
which taxes have been paid for the
year I'm question. This represents only
n small percentage of the land in thSa
county. title to which is more or less
clouded by improper assessments, and
for one year.
Basing an estimate on DEVELOPMENTS
TO date it appears that for 1914 from
$4,000 to $4,000 acres OF land escaped
taxation that had been patented prior
to thar year, and should have been
placed on the tax rolls.
1t is also estimated that this work
that the commissioners are having
done on tho tax records will result IN
tax receipts on property not rendered
nor assessed that will far exceed the
cost of the work to the county.
If this work is completed as IL has
been begun it will place within the
reach Of every property owner in the
county such information as will ena-
BILE him TO find, without iuconvenienes
or trouble, just how the tax records
stand in reference to his popety, and
Tor each and every year since his land
was patented.
land has been assessed to two or more
individuals each of the Interested par
ties is notified, by letter. of the con
ditions and requested to take proper
steps to have the needed corrections
made, and 1t is hoped that these re-
quests will be complied with. and with
Dut delay.
The necessity of this work should
impress upon each individual tax-pay-
sr OF the county the Importance Of
making absolutely correct returns Of
ais property for 1913, and when he pays
lis taxes he should be absolutely GER
ain that his tax receipt describes hia
'wn property and not that of his
leighbor.
Mr.. Carter and Mr.. Cornell are OF the
opinion that the title to pehaps one
lalf the land In the county is more
n less involved on account of errors in
he tax records.
