OBITUARY.

Mart L. Clark. The hand of thi reaper, Death, reaches fortkifla this human garden, and plucks from it loved plants. No efforts can stay its ghastly harvest, for on the evmii g of Jan. 26th, 1896 at 5 :30 P. at , amid sorrowing relatives and friends, the grim reaper appear* d and bore away the tender blossom to the waiting arms of her dear mith:r who preceded her to that better land six years ago. Her a*e was 12 years, 9 months. The cause of her death was consumption. Mary was the eldest daughter of H. B. Clark ts Gurdon Ark , but her health being poor in the south, she cau.e to Rensselaer in September to make her home with lu r aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Mackey. Her father brought her here on the advice of the doctor, hoping that a change would be beneficial. Thi funeral services were held Monday morning" at the Christian Church, where she regulary attended Sunday School, and ih .• sympthy of her loving classmates and teacher was attested by their display of floral tributet| The sixth grade of which she was a student, attended in at body. Six boys from her classmates were selected as pail-bearers. Mr. Clarke, the dead child’s father and sister Addie did not arrive untill Tuesday morning, too late to see her alive, but in time to view her remains at Attica where she was laid to rest by her mother. Mary was a kind, gentle and affectionate child, and loved by all who knew her. Her sufferings were terrible, yet she bore them all with remarkible patience. Every thing done to relieve her proved unavailing and death came as a welcome relief. So soon she was called away, So soon her time had come. May she be born for angels wings, For God’s holy will was done. She was not formed for living here, A beautiful flower for the sky. Yet we all loved her so dear, We tbonght she was not born to, die. * Y A Friend.

In offering to the trade, the above make of wheels, we are confident that no other machine now made can hope to compare with them in rigidity, neatness, end merited reputation. The experts of the Pope Mfg. Co. are al ways husy testing the ability of all new devices and the Columbia for ’96 is the nsult of their efforts. No device f rms aWart of these machines which has not been tested in actual use for on“ year, therefore*n6 possible defect can be found in them.

ALL the Road and Bridge Tax and ONE-HALF of all other taxes make the FIRST INSTALLMENT and must be paid on or before the THIRD Monday in April, 1896. ONE-HALF of all taxes, except Road and Bridge, constitute the SECOND INSTALLMENT, and must be paid on or before the FIRST Monday in November, 1896. Failure to pay the First Installment when due makes both installments delinquent and attaches a penalty of ten per cent to the full amount The conditions prevailing are such that the Treasurer CAN NOT make and hold receipts for any one. Please do not ask it. Provisions of Law Relating to Taxation: “The owner of property on the first day of April of any year shall be liable for the taxes of that year. The purchaser on the first day of April shall be considered the owner on that day.” Purchasers of PERSONAL Property as well as Real Estate should remember that ‘TAXES FOLLOW THE PROPERTY when the taxes thereon remain unpaid. ‘COUNTY ORDERS in favor of persons owing delinquent taxes cannot be paid without settlement of the taxes.’ tansa.^ ‘lt 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 assessed. THE TREASURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for the penalties and charges resulting from the tax-payer’s omission to so state.’ The Tax Duplicate for any year is made with reference to property on the first day of April of that year and unchanged as to the showing of property, and in whose name assessed and taxed. Transfers after the first day of April of any year will never appear upon the Duplicate of that year’s taxes. Those who pay taxes on property in trust, and whose taxes are complicated suck 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 separate 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, 1896. J. C. GWIN. County Treasurer. Rensselaer, Ind., January Ist, 1896.
