FEDERAL INCOME TAX.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va Feb. 25
1919.-Forty federal deputies have
just completed week of intensive
training under Collector S. A. Hays,
and are leaving for various sections
of the state to begin itineraries that
will carry them into every nook and
Granny of the commonwealth in an
endeavor to give assistance to every
taxpayer who feels a desire or need
for it. While the new revenue law
will reach persons who never paid
tax before, it is the general opinion
Of the Collectors force that the new
law is much simpler than the old,
and that there is going to be- de-
cidely less difficulty in the prepare
ton of returns. These returns are
required to be filed on or before
March 18th and payment Of the
tax, either in part or in whole is re-
CURED to be made by that date.
The service which Collector Hays
is offering to the taxpayers of this
state is entirely free, and all who
can do so should avail themselves Of
the opportunity to secure this ex-
pert advice.
The income tax man assigned to
Barbour county has announced that
he will be at the following places on
the dates given below:

More Stone House History.
Since the writing of the article
"The Old Stone House" other facts
from notes furnished by Jas. Eng
land, Sr. deceased have come to
light. John Hill the builder was
noted as an artifcier in rock and
helped to build the old stone Jail in
Beverly, dressing some of the corner
stones for that edifice at his home
on Sugar Creek and hauling them
to Beverly. He is also said to have
helped to build an old stone house in
what is now Taylor County. He lost
his eyesight soon after completing
the stone house on Sugar Creek. He
was always termed the Old Dutch
man and was noted for his hospital
