IMPORTANT NOTICE.
Smithville, Tex., Jan. 3, 1912
To Owners of Lauds or City
Lots iu Bastrop County:
It is of great importance to
you that your lands or city lots
are properly described iu the
tax rolls. If a correct descrip-
tion is not given it is entered
iu the abstract books wrong
and you pay on the wrong
property.
I have made tho lands o? our
county my eoutiuued study and
have been able to make some
importaut corrections where
aud was being rendered on the
wiong survey.
I have reasons to believe that
there may yet be some laud
given in for taxes ou the wrong j name
land is on a survey where
there is more than one survey
by the same or neatly the same
survey.
If such is the case it can be
corrected by refereuce to your
deeds, not only your late deed,
but any deed youm ay have in
your possession to the sam«
laud by other parties, so I
would ask you to please let me
see y^ur deeds when you ren-
ider your taxes, or look the mat-
ter up carefully yourself aud
see what survey your land is
on, as I would like very much
if you will givethis matter your
attention, sspeciolly if your

Where is my boy tonight? You
