' Under "the law oh to listing
taxes, it i well for every citi-
ren to inform himself as to
the law. " Persons exempted
from poll tax permanently
for this year are required to
present a ceriflcute of release
when they go to list and the
list taker will make an entry
as to the fact that, he is re
leased. Those who have lost
their certificates of exemp
tion should have had them
renewed at the June meeting
of the board of county com
raissioners. Persons who fail to give in
to the list takers will have to
list before the board of coun
ty commissioners up to the
oecond Monday in July, and
nre required by law to pay
twenty-five cents for record
ing and 5 per cent on the a
mount of tux; all persons
who are liable for poll tax
Olid fail to give themselves in
and persons who own proppr
erty and fail by the second
Monday in July may be char
ged with double tax, deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and
on conviction fined or impris
oned. All persons should list
their poll and property
promptly as prescribed by
law, as a failure to do so
may cause them trouble. See
