A LIE. , We have been informed, upon what we believe to be indubitable authority, that some party, to U3 un known, has circulated a report sit Millen, and, perhaps, at other places in Burke county, that The Citizen is run in tho interest of Judge Thos. M. Berrien, and incidentally in the interest of the Coalitionists. We have here to say that Judge Berrien has never contributed one nickel or one cent for the support of this paper, and that he is in no way, directly or indirectly, interested in its publication. We have heard some of these reports before, and have passed thorn by with silent con tempt, but as we now believe that they are injuring our business, we deem it time to put a slop to them. The circulator of these reports, we uronounce to be a liar and a sneak, and we hold ourself ready to respond for every word here uttered when ever he chooses to make himself known. One word to those who have exer cised themselves so terribly as to the ownership of The Citizen. If you will examine the record in the Clerk’s office you can satisfy your idle curi osity, and learn that The Citizen is owned by its publishers. It is paid for, and asks the countenance of the public only so far as its merits de serve. Planting itself upon the broad platform of the principles of govern ment laid down by Thomas Jeffer son, it stands unpledged, to individ ual, faction, or party, and will give its support to those who honestly serve the people. —The Eutaw boy9 were out serenad ing last night. —Mr. Royal, of Augus'a, is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Jim Lewis.

Jno. D. Munnerlyn, of Waynesboro, paid our town a flying visit Monday. The Colonel is in fine health and spirits, and if Sylvania wants a council of the Royal Arcanum, he can put the job up with less expense and more dispatch than any man in the State.” —What has become of the Burke County Game Association ? We have heard not a word from it for months, and are much afraid it has “gone where the woodbine twineth.” But really this association bid fair to do much good in preventing the destruction of insectiverous birds and fish. It may not always be con venient for country members to at tend, but, there are enough members who reside in town to transact all tho business of the society, and should by no means be allowed to die. Wake up, gentlemen, and do your duty. Don’t let the society die out.

The Treasurer informs us there is a cash balanoe of oyer eight hundred dollars in the treasury, and yet there has not been a cent of tax levied on either real or personal property in ten years. Can any of our exchanges equal this ? —'“J. S. R.,” in a recent letter to the Macon Telegraph, has the follow ing to say concerning one of our citizecs : “At a recent meeting of the stock holders of the Fair Association a permanent organization was perfected and Major VV. A. Wilkins elected president. A word concerning this enterprising gentleman may not t>e inappropriate just hero. Fully im bued with the progressive spirit of the age and century, lie has been for many years a leading spirit in our community ; and to-day, whatever of growth and prosperity our town possesses is*traceablo in a large mens.-, ure to his energy and enterprise. Possessing in a supreme degree that quality known as business acumen, he has been a prime mover in all ot' those advance movements that have given form and beauty to our little city, and the splendid buildings that to-day adorn our thoroughfares are but evidences of his euergy and monuments of his genius. Such a man in any community is indispen sable and his spirit of energy and enterprise has impressed itself in inc'elible finger-points, -upon every improvement of which our town can boast. Hence, his election to the position of president of the asso ciation, was a grateful acknowledge ment of his ability and peculiar fit ness.

Treasurer. —Augusta News : Judge Snead is rapidly disposing of cases on the civil dooket this week, and is keeping well up with the business of the Superior Court. Instead of delaying the assign ments of this week of the adjourned term for the lengthy case of Mont gomery vs. the Masonic Trustees, Judge Snead instituted what is called the double barreled court, and called in the assistance of Judge Lawson. In this way two sessions of ihe court progress ed at the game time without extra ex pense or loss of time, or the delay of a single case on. the docket. Judge Snead deserves many thanks for big expidition and orderly arrangement of the court business, and it is just such able dis charge of duty and conscientious work that has made him a proud record as a Judge and won from every grand jury in all the counties of the Augusta cir cuit their thanks and lull endorsement. Suoh tributes have their meaning and point out Judge Snead ns a faithful and uppreoiatqd officer of the law. He ha been now around the circuit, and although the work is tedious nnd oon ; tinued, he is going on with the adjouri ed terms in tho counties without evi a day’s intermission or rest.
