Tax Executions The tax executions huvo been i? Htied and placed in tho hands of the Sheriff. There are about 2.~>U, representing about $100. Many of them, however, probably u in jority of tliein, do not amount to anything ; are against persons \vlu? have <lied and left no property, who luivc moved a?vay, arc in the penitent i u-v or on the chain gang, or are double charges?charged to people who are on the book in a slightly different name or are in niotlirii* fiiurnuliiii ?>? u<.linnl .1!.. vu 11 Iirtiu/ ?'1 91 uyvi UIO< iret. For example, si man, say u negro, will return himself as J. S. Smith and the man he lives with will return him i*> John or Js.ck Smith. One will ho paid and the other will not. Then, the ollieiuls not knowing that the two names refer to the same person, there i-? nothing to do but to issue an exe cution against the name that hasn't paid ?only to find when the constable goes to him that he has already paid?in the otliesname. Or maybe he is returned in Pleasant Ilill and pn\s his taxes in Flat Creek, leaving the name in Pleasant Hill on the book; or in Pleasant Ilill straight and pays in the Heath Spring school district. Tlio duplicate names cannot ho thrown away in making up the books, for the reason that in dozens of cases there is more than one man, oven in tho same, township, of the same name.
