Our honorable court fails to see where a county official is libelled when he is falsely accused of issuing warrants in a criminally nlawful way, although the law expressly declares it to be a libel to falsely accuse another of a criminal act. It sometimes makes a difference whose ox is gored, even with the judges of courts. We appreueud mac our juuge wouia soon perceive that he had been libelled if the newspapers were to falsely accuse and persist in accusing him of paying out the people’s money in ways which the law declared a crime.

A LONG LIFE.

For sixty-nine years Downs’ Elixir has kept on curing coughs, colds, croup, consumption and all throat and lung troubles. Some people think it good only for lung troubles, but the fact is that it is the best remedy known for cold in the head, or cold settled in the joints or bowels, as it acts upon the whole system and speedily eradicates a cold whenever found. We sell it and guarantee a 50 cent bottle to cure any cold or money refunded.

HIS WIFE COULDN’T COOK.

So he decided to apply for a divorce, for he considered he had good grounds therefor. But the Judge, after hearing his complaint, scratched the bald place on the top of his head, looked over his specs at the poor fellow, shifted the quid of tobacco to the other side of his mouth, and said:/‘You don’t need no divorce. You go home and ask your wife to forgive you. On the way home stop at A. F. Longs and buy a bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, take it according to directions, and if you can’t eat anything in less than a week from biled cabbage up, come up t ome, and I will give you a divorce and alimony both.”

When most needed it is not unusual for your family physician to be away from home. Such was the experience of Mr. J, Y. Schenck, editor of the Caddo, Ind. Ter., Banner, when his little girl, two years of age was threatened with a severe attack of croup. He says: “My wife insisted that I go for the doctor, but as our family physician was out of town I purchased a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, which relieved her immediately. I will be without it in the future.” 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Me - ver - Mrs. Geo.

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 FIRST Monday in May, 1899. 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, 1899. 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.’ J ‘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 remains forever 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 mak* the divisions and separate receipts. al 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, 1899. J. C. GU/IN, Rensselaer, Ind., December Ist 1898. TREASURER OF JASPER COUNTY
