<br />was assessed in error and requesting that ~r. W.H~ Bkmting, ~co paid the taxes, should be

<br />same promisees, while it was occupied by only two la,milles and tha~ the taxes against VoG. Bunt-
<br />ing~ Sr. were erroneously assessed. V. G. B{na~ing,' Sr. is dead and the ,~3.96 should be refunded

<br />mons need for an amonlance to be held ~n r eadmness for emerg~n?mes ~ esul~mng fr?m summon ill-
