NOTICE
To Taxpayers
Beginning February 1, I will open mv books in
the courthouse, with offices in front of the Clerk’s
office, for the purpose of receiving 1939 tax re
turns. Owing to the nature of the records to be
kept, it will be impossible to make the usual rounds
over the county. I will be in the office every day
from S a. m. to 4 p. m. and will be glad to assist you
in any way in making your returns.
Because of the present state law providing p r
tax exemption of S3OO on personal property and
$2,000 on homesteads it is important that taxpayers
apply for this exemption. Unless exemption is
asked for it will not be granted.
All taxpayers are requested to keep these facts
in mind and come forward and make returns as
early as convenient.

Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On
No matter how many medicines you
have tried for your common cough,
chest cold, or bronchial irritation, you
may get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and you
cannot afford to take a chance with any
remedy less potent than Creomulsion,,
which goes right to the seat of the trou- ,
ble and aids nature to soothe and hmal
the inflamed mucous membranes and to
loosen and expel germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don’t be discouraged, try Creomulsion.
Your druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not thoroughly
satisfied with the benefits obtained.
Creomulsion is one word, ask for it
plainly, see that the name on the bottle
is Creomulsion, and you’ll get the
genuine product and the relief you
want. (Adv.)
