Notice to Taxpayers

A very small per cent Of the people
of the county have paid their State
and County taxes at the present time.
1t seems that every one intends to
wait until "the last minute" to pay,
and altho we have a fast and eff
cient force of three collectors in the
office, we do not see how we will be
able to wait on you if all continue to
put it off.
Also, we desire to call your atten-
ton to the fact that all automobiles
must be registered on or before JAN
UARY 31st. After that date dam
ages of 100 per cent will be added ac-
cording to law. Come on and avoid
the rush!
