OBITUARY

Charles Albert Clough was born in Laporte, Indiana, on April 8, 1873

and died Dec. 31, 1911, aged 38 years, 8 months and 28 days.

When he was but a child his par-

ents moved to Plymouth, where he resided the most of his life. In

1895 he was married to Miss Alice V. Woodbury, daughter of Mrs. Matilda Woodbury, living on the farm two miles north of town. To

this union were born four children, Arthur, Robert, Florence and Charles, who with his wife are left to fight life's battle without the aid of their father. Mr. Clough leaves besides these, a mother and two sisters, the Misses Lizzie and Fern Clough. About two years ago the family moved to Elkhart where Mr. Clough was employed as the time keeper for the Sidway Mercantile Company. Mrs. Clough with her four chil-

dren came to Plymouth to spend the holiday vacation, leaving her husband to keep house. On Sunday

afternoon a neighbor had sent him over some dinner, and about four o'clock be had returned the dishes. Being asked to stay awhile, he said he could not, as he had some work to do in the basement. A New Years' dinner had been prepared at the home of his mother, and when he did not come at the time appointed, his oldest sister, Lizzie, went to his home to call him. The door was not fastened, and she

called his name as she entered, but

In addition to the above in the town of Culver there is levied the sum of $1.00 on each male dog and $2 on each female dog. The first installment of Taxes (including Road Tax) must be paid on or before the First Monday in May, or the taxes for the whole year will become delinuqent and subject to 10 per cent penalty. The'second installment must be paid on or before the First' Monday in November following. But any taxpayer may pay the full amount of such taxes on or before the first Monday in May, 1912Assignees, Guardians, Administrators, and others who pay taxes on property in trust, and persons whose taxes are complicated, such as undivided estates, are earnestly requested to settle such taxes before the last few days, as it requires considerable time to make divisions and separate receipts therefor As THE TREASURER CANNOT KNOW THE LOCATION OF EACH PERSON'S PROPERTY, TAXPAYERS SHOULD DESIGNATE the property ON WHICH THEY WISH TO PAY TAXES, AND SEE THAT ALL PROPERTY IS SPECIFIED IN THEIR RECEIPTS. If they have land in more than one township or town, or desire to pay taxes on lands not in their names, call the Treasurer's attention to the matter. . ROAD RECEIPTS WILL NOT BE RECEIVED AFTER THE FIRST MONDAY IN MAY, EXCEPT ON DELINQUENT TAXES. Carefully examine the receipts before leaving the office, and if anything is wrong, have the correction made at once. The Treasurer will not be responsible for the penalty and charges on delinquent taxes resulting from any omission of the person failing to state definitely on what property, in whose name, and in what township or corporation it is assessed. Persons owing delinquent taxes should pay them at. once. The' present law is of such a character that there is no option left the Treasurer but to enforce the collection of delinquent taxes by the sale of property, if necessary. "The owner of property on the First day of March of any year shall be liable for the taxes of that year; the purchaser of the property on the First day of March 7. in any year shall be considered the owner on that day." Section 103. Call on the Auditor for irregularities in taxes or for reductions to be made. The Treasurer cannot make such reductions. Taxpayers will find it greatly to their ' 'advantage to-call at the Treasurer office and get a memorandum of the amount due them for taxes. Countyorders cannot be paid to parties owing delinquent taxes. All persons are warned against buying them. u THE ANNUAL SALE OF DELINQUENT LANDS AND LOTS WILL TAKE PLACE THE SECOND MONDAY IN FEBRUARY, 1912. I would especially urge upon taxpayers the importance of paying early and avoiding the rush of the last few days.

GEORGE H. MHXEY,. Treasurer of Marshall County, Indiana.
