        "text": "Grieein Smith, Chief Justice.\nEach party to the litigation claims title through tax forfeiture and the Land Commissioner\u2019s deed. J. Ivy Beard, in 1930, purchased from the State and paid taxes through 1934, but defaulted in 1935. The property was again sold to the State. In 1941 W. J. and N. J. Devore procured deed from the Land Commissioner. At that time the State\u2019s suit under Act 119 of 1935 was pending, and in March the confirmation decree was rendered. Within a year (\u00a7 9 of Act 119) Beard intervened, alleging invalidity of the State\u2019s title under the sale through which the Devores claimed. Beard tendered taxes, penalties, costs, and interests, including accrued taxes.\nIn its decree in favor of Beard the Court found that the County Clerk failed, in respect of the record in which delinquent lands were- described, to affix his certificate showing publication of notice of sale, the newspaper in which published, and the dates and number of publications\u2014hence the sale for 1935 taxes was voidable.\nAppellants contend that Act 282 of 1935 repealed \u00a7\u00a7 1, 4, 5, and b of Act 16 of the Extraordinary Session of August, 1933, with the result that the provision of Act 16 directing the County Clerk to certify to the statutory essentials heretofore referred to was dispensed with. They agree that the only question to be determined is whether \u00a7 5 of Act 16 was repealed.\nThe expressed language of Act 282 is that the sections were amended\u2014not repealed. The opinion on rehearing in Cecil v. Tisher and Friend, 206 Ark. 962, at page 970, 178 S. W. 2d 655, presents this Court\u2019s answer and is adverse to the contentions here made. See also Standard Securities Company v. Republic Mining & Manufacturing Company, 207 Ark. 335, 180 S. W. 2d 575.\nAffirmed.",
