Tax Receipts Will Be
Ready About December 1
Under the new accounting system
in force in Macon county, after the
tax list is made up, the clerk to the
county commissioners makes out re
ceipts in duplicate for tax payments.
These receipts, with the stubs, are
prepared in a set of books, and when
receipts for all taxpayers have been
made, the book is turned over to the
Sheriff -Treasurer. -
This system , not only enables the
sheriff to. balance . his . books, each
night, but provides in a single set
f hnnl-c . n rnmnlete check of taxes
paid and' taxes due, " The taxpayer's
rnrint not onlv shows the total
..mnnnt nf tuvcs tiaid. but llOW much
of the total . went for each item,
such, as general county, sinking funds,
special school tax, etc.
The tax list for 1926 is completed,
Horace Hurst, clerk to the commis
sioners, has announced, but it will be
tvi,i firci r.f . December before he .will
have the receipts 'completed. He was
,i,1',vf,l in rnrrmletinir the work, he
said, on account 'of, the tax levy being
made later in the' year than usual.
Taxpayers, however, who desire to
make a payment on their !Vi6 taxes
can pay the Sheriff -Treasurer in the
form of a nartial payment, ana uikc
a partial payment receipt. ' t
At the same time that .vir. nursi
made his announcement, Sheriff C L.
Ingram issued a call to . all taxpayers
who have not settled their 1925 taxes
to do so promptly.. He is required
to make his settlement with the com
missioners by January l, 1927, he
pointed out, and this necessitates
prompt payment of all back' taxes. .A
large number of taxpayers have not
paid their 1925 taxes, Mr.. Ingram
stated,

HIGHLANDS VISITORS ' ;
SEE THE GAME
Up from the hills of Habersham
on Armistice Day came ' a fine foot
ball team composed 'of clean-cut
young men to contest with the fine
young fellows of Waynesville and
down from the mountains of High

witness the game, the first fever
played in Macon county
Among those who came from High
lands to see the game and perhaps,
to hear the good singing of the
Waynesville girls were: Porter Pier
son, Roy Potts, Dr. E. R. Gilbert,.
Sam Baty, Lawrence Holt, and Willie
and Joe Hayes. The Press was un
able ' to obtain ; the names of other
members of the 'delegation. Frank

from her sister town of Highlands. .
n horp 'ihi autumn was the ore
sentation at the Franklin Graded
school building last- Friday evening of
1 talent, under the auspices ot
the Franklin chapter of the Eastern
Star.
That the play was well enacted
was testified by the waves of laugh
ter that swept the audience time and
time again, and by the bursts of ap
plause. Every character (Jid his or her part
well, according -to those present, but
nothing perhaps delighted the audi
ence so much as the dancing and
songs of the school children,- especi
ally the little tots.
