Notice to Delinquent Tax Payers.

Following is the law regarding the collection of delinquent taxes, kindly furnished us by Treasurer Alter: Sec. 158. After the third Monday of April the Treasurer shall cause a list to be made of the delinquents, with the amount due from each, and with a separate column headed “return,” which list shall be certified to be correct by the County Auditor, and shall then proceed with such list, which, when so certified, shall be a sufficient authority, and have the same force and effect as an execution, to call, either in person or by deputy,, upon every person named in the duplicate who is delinquent, and who resides in the county, and he shall make a demand for the amount of such delinquent taxes, and the penalty thereon, of ca?h resident delinquent, and if the taxes and penalty are not paid on such demand, he shall proceed immediately to levy upon sufficient personal property of such delinquent to pay such taxes, penalty and the costs of sale, and to sell the same in the manner and at the place hereinafter provided. In case such delinquent tax and ?enalty is paid upon demand, such 'reasurer shall charge and receive from such delinquent, in addition to the taxes and penalty, the sum of twenty-five cents, and where a levy is made?, he shall charge and receive, in addition to his other costs, the sum of fifty cents, and mileage and constable fees, for collecting and taking care of property for such demand. Sec. 159. County Auditors shall not be authorized to credit the Treasurer with any uncollected delinquency for which he claims Credit, unless such Treasurer shall show, by proper returns as above provided, verified by his oath or affirmation that he has diligently sought for and has been unable to find any personal property from which to collect such taxes, or that having made a levy, he was enjoined or otherwise prevented from making sale or collection by a court of competent jurisdiction; and in all cases where he has failed to make demand upon residents who are delinquent, or to levy and sell when personal property can be found in the county out of which to make the tax, he shall be liable, on his official bond, for such uncollected delinquency and ten per cent, damages thereon.

An Old Woman’s Advice.—Aunt Rachel, writiiig to the Cincinnati Enquifer, says: “When you feel unwell and think you must take medicine, for goodness sake ‘get the best.’ If you need a remedy that will make you regular in your habits, give you a good natural appetite, make your skin clear and smooth, and remove all spots and blemishes that indicate ill health; if you M'ish to be free from mental depression, fretfulness, peevishness, wakefulness and other disorders, use Brown’s Iron Bitters. It contains no alcohol, but will take away that unnatural desire for alcoholic beverages, and make your mind and body healthful and strong. I know this from experience.” How to get Sick.—Expose yourself day and night; eat too much without exercise; work too hard without rest; doctor all the time; take all the nostrums advertised; and then you will want to know How to get Well, which is answered in three words—Take Hop Bitters!
