ROAD and Dog TAXES
MUST BE PAID BY IS
No Damages Can Be Assessed Before
Sheriff Advertises Property for Sale
Utica. Miss. Dec. / 1920.

Utlca, MISS, Dec. 1, 1870.
Editor Reyeille:
A few days ago i went to the court
house in Raymond and asked how long
| could wait to pay taxes before
would be charged damages, | was
told Feb. |, 1921. "Really there will
be no damage before Feb. End"
You have publish Dec. 18th as the
time to pay. This is confusing to
poor taxpayers. If the Legislature
said Feb. 1st, surely all counties in
the state have the same law Ny
Claiborne taxes have been paid, but
some tenants are worrying over theirs
Will you please be sure about this,
and published same as soon as pos
sible on write me. Oblige,
(Mrs.) Mary B. Fisher.
By the statement, "You have pub
lished Dec. 18th as the time to pay"
Mrs. Fisher probably has reference to
the advertisement Of Sheriff Ragnell
contained in the REVEILLE of Oct.
18th. In this advertisement he said:
81 am now ready to collect DOG and
COMMUTATIQN ROAD TAXES.
(The road tax Off this year is S5 and
the tax on dogs is 81 on each male
and So on each female). These taxes
must be paid by Dec. 14th. All who
fail to pay same by that time viii be
liable to prosecution, etc,
This had reference to the road and
dog taxes ONLY, These are the only
taxes, we believe, under which crimi-
nal prosecution can be instituted. The
same law applies to all counties re-
garding road taxes, and those adopt
ing a dog law may also apply pen
al6y.
Taxes on real and personal prop
erty are now due, but no damages can
be assessed until the sheriff has ad-
vertised property for sale which cam
not b done before January 18th. But
it may be asfely stated that no prop
erty will be advertised for sale earlier
than February 1st, as the bulk Of the
taxes is paid durinu January.
The attorney general has just is
sued an opinion on this subject which
is substantially as given in the above
paragraph.

The exhaust gas from the engine en-
tered the car from beneath and Inc
fumes overcame the children, who fell
out on the floor and were found almost
dead when teacher, Mrs. Louise
Dunn, entered the machine about two
miles from Yokena.
Mrs. Dunn, at first, thought the
children were playing one Of their
games called Timber neck" but she
soon discovered that something was
wrong, stopped the car, and BEGAN giv-
ing the children first aid treatment.
Two former service men, Sidney
Wright and Ben Beard, were also has
tily summoned, and they also assisted
IN resuscitating the children.
DR.. 5. G. Hyland, OF Yokena. was
also called for, and he speeded to the
school, whittier the children were car
ried, but when he arrived he found the
children out of danger, and saws that
if they escape pneumonia, they will
suffer no ill effects Vicksburg Post.

4,l46 BALES or COTTON
GINNED TO NOVEMBER IA

The ginners' report shows that
there were ALAG bales Of cotton ginn-
ed in Claiborne county TO Nov. 14th,
compared with 1892 bales to the same
date last wear, an increase this year
of 1855 bales.
If cotton was acting decently, these
figures would be of much interest to
our readers; but there are many read
ers who wish they had never seen a
lock of the miserable stuff. Just how
they are going to feel when planting
time rolls around, depends upon what
the price is doing at that time.
