The taxes on the Kimball House at A'-
latita lor the year past, which have just

the taxes on the same building did uot
amount to $4,500. Speaking of taxes In
Atlanta, John Johnson said: “i have
three little lots on a bleak nil! out in East
Atlanta which the assessors have valued
at $740, which 1 would bn glad to sell for
$llOO. The trouble with thy assessors is
that in placing valuation upon property
these days they base it upon the boom of
1883. At that time lh“ lots that I speak
of weie offered lor $740. Tncv seem to
forget that that boom is dead aud gone,
and that Atlanta has no now boom in real
estate.”

covered earlv Sunday morning, and

P rpetrators, and late in the after m on ol
the same day succeeded in finding the en
tiire lot ol goods concealed beneath a pile
ol logs in Kincaaloonee swamp. A guard
was put over toe pile with th" hope that
the thieves would return during the
night for the goods, and t hus be captured,
bul the plan leaked out and the luiuves
doubtless were put upon notice, as they
lulled to put in an appearance.

lor the old man, but to no avail. He ling- |
ered unconscious lor some hours and
died. It is supposed tnat he was seized

a is side, bis legs refused to move, and his
eyes rolled wildly around, ilis prayer

the spot where but a low moments before
he was a magnificent type of physical
manhood. He tried to speak, but his
ioii.ue would not move. Half a dozen
meu who were present were rendered

Eustis Lake Region • S. 11. Chapman,
of our city, is a gentleman who visited
Florida before the majority ol people who
live in the (state were created, lie was
one ot a regiment of men who landed at
Tampa Bay fully half a century ago, to
take part in the war against the Seminole
Indians. Hundreds ot incidents con
nected with that campaign area* fresh to
him as it they occurred to him yesterday.
According to Mr. Chapman, they were
one day iu the locality of Sanford
the Indians surrounded them, atid'lxlie/f
only chance for escape was iu the direc
tion of tue lake. Tne lieutenant or the
company he describes as a very small
mau, but who could nevertheless consume
an immense amount of whisky.
He was named Monroe, ami was
a grandson of our President by that
name. Being a way ward, dissipated boy,
his lamily thought the army would be
the best, place for him, and owing to their
influence there was no trouble In secur
ing him a commission. On the day to
which wo refer, the Lieutenant was
mounted on a thoroughbred mare of great
power and speed. When the Indians
came to close quarters, aud it looked a
case of every man for himself, and his
Saianic majesty to get the hiudormost,
the lieutenant made no effort to stop the
mare when she begen to run. On they
went, and tbe animal took to the water
and swam with its master on its back
across an arm o! tbe lake almost a half
mile wide—and that is how Lake Monroe,
a portion of the St. John’s river, got its
name.

who is now
r thti >i^t ’ wa9 a memUer of the
*ttnW'®nion of 1857, whieb first nominated
Joe Brown for Governor. A recent pub
lication by a gentleman who claimed to
he the only survivor of that occasion has
aroused Mr. Shropshire to give his roool
leetiou thereof.
“1 was at that convention,” savs he
“and l heard nothing of Joe Brown's bull!
and do not believe luat it was thought of
at that time.”
“When tue convention met Dr. Lewis,
of Cass, was elected President, and Judge
Lumpkin, of Hornet James Gardner, of
Augusta; Hiram Warner and Henry G.
Lamar were all announced to tlie conven
tion by tbeir friends, and voting com
menced. Gardner was in the lead only a
lew votes. The voting continued three
days without ant prospect of a nomina
tion. Tne last vote taken cave Judge
Wright, of Home, about forty votes.
Judge Wright addressed the President"
and said he would not accept a nomina
tion. 11 o came to that con
vention as the friend of Judge Lump
kin, and he never would look him iu tue
lace with a nomination over hint. The
convention, at the announcement of
Judge Wright, camo to a standstill per
haps live minutes. Mr. Hull, of Athens,
then moved that a committee of three
from each Congressional district be an
pointed by the President to see if some
course could be set on foot bv which a
nomination could be reached. Tue mottou
was adopted, and Judge W. H. I i,dor
wood ol Home, Elijah Chastin and myself
were appointed on that committee.”
“Wbeu the committee went into the
room. Col. Irwiu, of Wilkes, was made
chairman, and the friends of Lumpkin
and Gordon mado many propositions
without any progress. After some two
hours were consumed Linton Stephens
said be bad a man iu his mind Iromcster

Turning to Underwood, Cbasteen and’
myself ue subl: “Gentlemen ot the Sixth,

What do you say to him?”
“We will tuke him,” was the response,
and the committee was unanimous lot
Joseph E. Brown. Col. Irwin was re
quested to report his name to urn conven
tion, which lie did in an able speech.
“The \g>e oi the convention was unani
