# Taxes! Taxes!!

<!-- page:582 -->

The Tax book for 1841 is now in the hands of the Collector who is ready to receive Taxes. The County Tax, which is Forty cents on each hundred Dollars of valuation, may be paid in County orders. The State Tax, which is thirty cents on each hundred dollars, can be only in State auditor's warrants, wolf scalp Certificates, or Cash.

Tax payers will please be ready for an early call of the collector, as the great number to be called on will make it difficult to call a second time. The Collector or some one authorized to receive Taxes and give Receipts, may be found at all times at the Store of Mathews & Comer in Carthage.

23-3t. J. B. Mathews, Collector H. C.

At a council of the First Presidency and of the Twelve, it was unanimously voted that John E. Page shold [should] return to Nauvoo, and he is hereby requested to do it without delay,

Joseph Smith,}

Brigham Young,} Presidents.
