If you are unmarried and your income She
is $1,000 or more a year, or if you are
married and your income is $2,000 or Wh<
more a year, you should make income

EDITOR THE SENTJNEL:-Please an
nounce in your 'mnst valuable paper, In r
that 1 will be in Pickens on Thursday
and Friday, the 14th and 15th instant, Wh
for the purpoae of assisting in taking
returns.
Please impress on the people that it *"
is very important that these returns be
made, and if a man is uncertain as to
whether he is taxable or not, he had
better see me when I amn there, as this
will very likely be the last opportunity
for consultation and assistance in mak
ing the returns.
After the time expires for the miak
ing of returns, the government will in
vestigate the incomes of citizens fail
ing to niake returns, and in ease they
are found liable to tax, there will be a
heavy tine, besides a large additional
tax to be paid
The government has many ways, un
known to the averae citizen, of finding
lout the income of people, and those
who fail or refuse to make returns will
be punished.
Yours very truly,
4. H. .JONEs,
Income Tax Inspector.
