THE COUNTY's DELINQUENT TAX
LIST.

Lincoln county's delinquent tax
list, as well as that for the city and
town Of Bogue Chitto, published in
Saturday issues are the largest for
some years past.
This is believed to be due princi-
pally because of high taxes and scar
city of money this year, and it is pos
sible that number thought they
could wait until April 1 to pay their
taxes without getting on the delin-
quent list. This is not the case. The
only advantage offered by the law
passed by the legislature at this ses-
sion was to allow the taxpayers un-
til April ! to pay their taxes without
damages being assessed. That is the
only change in the law, which is fix
ed by the constitution. Those who
failed to pay their taxes before Feb
ruary /, will also be disfranchised
for two years
