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 , by 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 b3 in office at Court House, or liaye 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 notice.

politely requested him to speak

usher's hand and continued his
supplications in a loud, strident
tone that could bo heard in the
street.
The officiating priest stopped

not stop when the policeman
requested him to do so, and
was lifted to his feet and token

To Magistrate Deule, in Cen
