Please do not ask it. Provisions off Law Relating to Taxation. “The owner of property on the first* day of March of any year shall be liable for the taxes of that year. The purchaser on the first day of March shall be considered the owner on that day.” Purchasers of PERSONAL PROPERTY as well as Real Estate should remember that “TAXES FOLLOW PROPERTY when taxes thereon remain unpaid.” “COUNTY ORDERS in favor of persons owing delinquent taxes cannot be paid without settlement of taxes.” “It is the duty of the TAX PAYER to state definitely on what property he desires to pay taxes, in whose name assessed and in what township or town it was a assessed. THE TREASURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for the penalties and charges resulting from taxpayers to so state. The Tax Duplicate for any year is made with reference to property on the first day of March of that year and remains unchanged for the year as to the showing of property, and in whose name assessed and taxed. Transfers after the first day erf March of any year will appear upon the Duplicate of that year’s taxes ’ Those who pay taxes on property in trust, and whose taxes are complicated, such as undivided estates, etc., should pay early enough to avoid the rush of the last few days, as it requires time to make the divisions and seperate receipts. Road Receipts Must be Presented in Payment of First Installment. The Annual Sale of Delinquent Lands and lots will take place on the SECOND MONDAY OF FEBRUARY, 1909. JESSE D.

THE DEMOCRATS NOT PLEDGED TO REPEAL.

Any democrat, republican or prohibitionist who now contends that the legislature Is justified in the repeal of the county option law, forgets the late political history of the campaign. They forget the passage of the very law of which they now sanction repeal; they forget its passage by a republican legislature; they forget that after its passage both democrats and republicans finished the campaign making broad the statement that local option was settled, and by reason of that settlement it was no longer an issue in the campaign. When these facts are recalled it will be hard to Justify any effort of repeal. Above all other arguments, however, against the repeal of the law,

is the fact that the law has not been tried and its merits are as yet unknown. It cost forty thousand dollars to get that law on our statute books, and while the cost was extravagant, yet it is worthy of a fair and impartial test.

While the democrats pinned their faith to a platform declaration favorable to a township and ward local option law, yet when that was done no law covered this much discussed point. The democrats did not agree to repeal a law in order, to give expression to their particular brand of local option. And the people now do not expect any laws repealed touching upon the regulation or extermination of the saloon. Be the law what it may, good, bad or indifferent, it is a republican law and the republicans will have to stand sponsor for it. It is not on the card that the democrats should help pull republican chestnuts out of the fire. The democrats should play good politics, and good politics does not mean the repeal of the county option law at this particular time.— Decatur Democrat.

BACHELOR’S GOLD

Was Found in Pile of Corncobs By The Neighbors. Lebanon, Ind., Nov. 24. —At the home of David Slayback. a bachelor, who was found dead near Lebanon Saturday, the neighbors today found >2,000 in a pile of corncobs, all in gold. The money had originally been tied up in paper, but the rats had been at work, and the coins were well scattered through the pile of cobs. Sbkaph: Cookies, from Gold Medal Flour, are the beet I ever tasted. Sophia.

NO SCHOOL FOR OTISCO.

Supreme Court Decides in Favor of the TownsMp Trustee. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 24.—A judgement mandating the trustee of Charlestown township, in Clark county, to employ a teacher and maintain a public school in the town of Otisco was reversed today by the Supreme Court. Otisco is at the extreme corner of the township, and when the trustee combined three school districts and erected a new schoolhouse at Gum Corner, a mile from Otisco, where he employed seven teachers, a compromise was effected by continuing a primary school at Otisco for very little children during two years. That school was finally discontinued and arrangements were made to carry the children to the Gum Corner school, and then this suit was brought.

Judge Monks says that the people of Otisco should have presented their objections before the districts were consolidated, and before the township had gone to the expense of a new school house for the combined district, that by the delay for more than two years . while these things were doing, they lost all right to a writ of mandamus. .A The Democrat has a few more es those handsome and useful Wall Charts left. We want to close them out, and if you have not already secured one you Should do so before they are all gone. Remember they are but 35 cents additional with a year’s subscription to The Democrat.

MINISTER’S WIFE GETS DIVORCE

Portland, Ind., Nov. 24.—Mrs. Isabelle McCarty received a divorce from her husband, the Rev. William E. McCarty, Saturday evening. Cruel treatment was charged. It is said that this act of cruelty was a statement which the defendant made to his wife one day on his return from a trip to the country. The plaintiff was the only witness examined, and she was not crossexamined by the defendant’s counsel. Following the necessary legal notice given by Mrs. McCarty the court ordered that her name be changed from Isabelle McCarty to Isabelle Williams, her name prior to her marrying the minister.

REBUILDING WORK STARTS.

Foundry at Indiana Reformatory May be Completed in Sixty Days. Jeffersonville, Ind., Nov. 24. Work has started at the Indiana Reformatory on the rebuilding of the foundry buildings, destroyed by fire a week ago (Sunday. It is hoped by W. H. Whittaker, general superintendent, that work may be resumed in the foundry within sixty days, probably under a temporary roof over which a permanent roof will be built later. Governor Hanly has given assurances that the cost shall be taken care of until the Legislature meets and it is expected about >IO,OOO to 315,000 will be spent by that time from-the Governor’s emergency fund. The plans are much like those of the buildings destroyed, but the entire place will be fireproof. Six hundred feet additional hose and a, chemical engine, costing about 3300, will be here for the approval of the board of trustees at their next meeting.

Nearly all the idle men will be employed in the work of rebuilding the foundry.
