The taxes have now been due since September 1st. Those who have not already
done so are requested to come forward and settle at once.
THE LAWS OF 1899
require a Sheriff to make his settlements earlier than before, and in some cases
m
and suits are enjoined in consequence of failure of sheriff to settle. We cannot settle
with the State and County unless the people settle with us. We dislike to have to
resort to a process of law to get the taxes, but unless the taxes are paid and paid at
once, this process will be necessary.
I have visited the townships as required by law to receive the taxes. Not one of
30 has met us for the purpose of paying. Eor the accommodation of the public and to
facilitate collections I will visit each of the townships again, during the hours on days
named : .
Anderson's Creek, at Westville, Nov. 14, 10 a. m.'to 1 p. m ; Brittoh & Johnson's Store, from 2 p. m. to 3 p.m.
Barbecue, at Henry Morrison's, Nov. 15, 8 a. m. to 12 m ; EL D. Cameron's old place,. 2 p. m. 5 p. m.
Upper Little River, at Benton McNeill's, Nov. 16, 10 a. m. to 12 m ; Turner's X Roads, 2 p. m. to 4 p. m.
Buckhorn, at Prince & Spence's Store, Nov. 17, 9 a. m. to 12 m. ,
Hector's Creek, at Bradley's Store, Nov. 17, 2 p. m. to 5 p. in.
Black River, at Angier, Nov. 18, 9 a. m. to 12 m.
Neill's Creek, at W. M. Sexton's Store, Nov. 18, 2 p. m. to 4 p. m. '
Grove, at Troyville, Nov. 20, 10 a. m. to 1 p. m ; Turlington's X Roads, 3 p. m. to'5 p. m.
Averasboro, at Dunn, Town Hall, Nov. 21, 10 a. m. to 4 p. m.
Stewart's Creek, at Bunnlevel, Nov. 22, 10 a. m. to 3 p. m.
On the 4th day of December each of the townships of the county will be put into
the hands of a, competent deputy to collect all arrears. Having as I do a separate book
for each township, with receipts already filled, every man without exception, who has
not paid bv December 4th will have receipt and amount for collection in hands of
deputy. Let each one meet me promptly at some one of the above places, settle his
taxes and save costs and trouble.
I will be in office at Court House, or haye deputy there, to receive taxes up to Dec 4th-,
After that date I will not be in office regularly myself and will have no deputy at Court'
House- Please inform your neighbor who may not read-this no cice.
Yours respectfully,
S. A. SALMON, Sheriff Harnett Co.

country, rich in natural re

you, don't join the Mormons

hear them in their pulpits, and
