The dog tax law has not been re
pealed and everyone owning a dog
or dogs are supposed to pay the tax.
I am reliably informed by good law
abiding citizens of the county that
a great many dog owners have not
returned them for taxes, if my
friends throughout the county will
co-operate with me in finding out
who these parties are I will do all
in my power to see that the taxes
are paid. Not only are there dog
tax dodgers but people who do
not own dogs try In dodge tax every
year,-1 have caught many of these
in the past. Get a list of all hands
working at these mills and turpen
tine stills turn over to me and I
ivill guarantee over half of them will
be tax defaulters.
Respectfully,
R. AV. Poxnnn.
