0 & DUTY

It is lite doty of each Tax Payer to state what he is taxed on, and where situated, and if i n more thai! one township, io state the different towaebips, and gravel nmds upon whicli be pays, I would urge upoi Tax Payers the importance of paying early and avoiding the rush of the last few. days, and especially those wbo have their taxes complicated, such as uadivided estates, are requested to call when we are at leisure, as it requires time to make the divisions and write separate receipts. Examine your tax receipts before leaving the ofiice, and see that there is not mixtaka in your change. Persons owiug Delinquent Taxes will nave cost and trouble by settling immediately. The I a to law is of such a character that there is nt option left the Treasurer but to enforce the collectiou of delinquent taxes, however much he may regret to do so. The Anntml Sale of Delinquent lands and JUots will tako plaee on the Second Monda.r in February, 1 SOQ. TCi5SEBT K2. SIDUUKY, Irtassirer Monroe Co.
