Realizing the fact that a great num ber of the taxpayers residing within the city limits of the City of Laurens do not understand fully the workings of the two tax departments, county And city; and In order that none need, be ignorant of the facts, I take this op portunity of explaining the facts in the case. During the months of January and February of each year, all taxpayers are required to make a return of their property to the county auditor, and during or about the same period each year th~ city treasurer makes up hlaj tax books from the books of the coun ty auditor of the previous year. So all parties who have returned prop erty to the county auditor for the year 1912 taxes, now due and payable to the county treasurer, will also be due city taxes on this same return, paya ble to th? city treasurer during Feb ruary and March, 1913. I have nothing, whatever, to do with the city taxes, but am merely calling j attention to this matter knowing that some have already been put to extra expense for the simple reason that they did not know, fc. ' ^ Very respectfully, J. Waddy Thompson, County Auditor. $166 Per Plate was paid at a banquet to Henry Clay, j in New Orleans In 1842. Mighty costly for those with stomach trouble or In digestion. Today peoplo everywhere use Dr. King's New Life Pills for' these troubles as well aB liver, kidney and bowel disorders. Easy, safe. sure. Only 25c at Laurens Drug Co. and Palmetto Drug Co.
