ASSESSMEKTS OF BEAL ESTATE A HD ABSE8- Hona FOB 82 YEARS—THE FALLACY THAT SHE WAS MORE PBCSPEBOUS UNDER THE OLD WAOON AND BITER TBADE. We have beard it said by those who glory in the past and see but little pros perity in the present and future of our city, that our city grew more rapidly in wealth during the anti-railroad season. The dreamy long ago appears to have a strong attraction for many who know not the facts. To show our people the steady advanoe of Columbus as is evinced by the enbanoed value of real estate we have ob tained from Mr. M. M. Moore, who is the moat competent and obliging clerk that ever our oity had, the assessments foY the past 82 years, and embracing the period of the most prosperous years of the wag on trade and before the era of railroads. There is no record on the books prior to 1848. The agitation of railroads commenced in Columbus about 1847, and the line to Savannah was completed in 1888. Well, the statistics show, taken by five years, that from 1848 to 1880 real estate had advanoed only $447,880. We had no railroads then. In the next five years we had one rail road, and from 1880 to 1886, property advanced $814,876. The next five, 1866 to I860, we find roal estate enhanoed $940,980, and had se.veral roads. We omit the war in the comparison, beoause the highest assessment was made in Confederate money. In 1886 the assessments were reduoed to $1,100,000, beoause the town bad been ruined by Federal raiders and millions of real estate had gone np in smoke. The tabic shows what we have now, when everything is depredated and re duced to hard pan prices in every quarter. The sum reduction is but depressions to a gold standard.

A FIENDISH CRIMINAL. He has Oemmlttwd Three Rapes and Is Still at Large. On Sunday, August 6th, We-ren Wal- droup, a white man, aged about 22 years, committed violence upon the per son of the wife of William Clark, colored, near the residence of Mr. Acee Lynch, who lives about twelve miles from the eity, on the South western Railroad. The victim and her husband were going home from ohurob, but the latter was two or three hundred yards ahead when the grovelling fiend met his victim. After he (Waldroup) had accomplished his designs, be attempted to kill the woman with a large knife. She managed to save her life, but was consid erably beaten and bruiaed. The Beast, at that time, waa living on the farm of Mr. Wm. Ingram, In this county. Mr. E. F. Willis, J. P., issued a warrant for the arrest of this man. Hia Bailiff, Mr. Skinner, with Messrs. N. B. Roberts and A. J. Odom, and Bill Clark and Diok Redd, oolored, started a few days subse quent in search of Waldroup, who was making bis esoape, and about August 11th they, with the exception of the Bailiff who pursued only one day, caught him'in Upson county,five miles above the Double Bridges. On their return with the prisoner, just below Bellvue, Talbot oonnty, near Big Liza Creek, he made bis esoape. All of the guard was about three hundred yards in the rear, and Diok Redd, colored, was in charge of him when be ran. He was handouffed, but at this junoture managed to unbind one hand. Redd shot at him two or three times, but to no effect, and then ran after him but the pursued one proved two Bwift of foot. On the following day, August 12th, Waldroup waa seen about two and a half miles east of the point of escape, on Mr. Archibald Helms' farm in Talbot county. He was approaching the laborers in tho field with the intention,doubtless, of get ting their aid in entirely freeing himself from the irons. When the “hands” saw him they immediately fled. ran a like crime in Upson county, violenoe upon the per son of a white lady aged 82 years, he served twelve months on the chain gang. His sentence ended about eighteen months ago, and soon after he stayed a night with Dr. Bruoe, of Harris county, stole some garments from him and left the premises while all were asleep. For this he was arrested, plsoed in the Hamilton jail, and escaped when that prison was “broken," perhaps a year ago. FOR STILL ANOTHER CRIME of the same kind, Bailiff Cunningham, of Talbot county, told Mr. N. B. Roberts, while be (Roberts) had Waldroup in cus tody, or perhaps just before he captured him, that be (Cunningham) held a war rant for the arrest of this same fiend. He (Waldroup) had committed rape upon tho person of a white lady of Talbot oounty about twelve months ago. AND STILL WALDUOUr was not satisfied. About six weeks ago in Talbot oounty, he entered the room of daughter of a widow lady by night and while feeling for the bed of the former he plaoed his band upon and suddenly aroused her. She immediately lighted a match and dis covered him, just before he knooked it from her hand and escaped. He is oertainly a very base and mali cious brute. Some time agd, in Talbot oonnty, a gentleman's horse's throat was out and the owner felt snre that it was Wi^droup, who wob not on friendly terms with him. It wfs reported that theae guards men tioned above killed this oriminal, and that hia carcass was seen half eaten by the buzzards. Suoh is not the case, how ever, as the above facts plainly show. He is still at large, and the people should keep a sharp watoh for him. He will odr- tainly repeat these horrible deeds every- time that he haa an opportunity. HIS DESCRIPTION. He is rather a heavily set man, weigh ing about one hundred and sixty pounds, and is about five feet, seven inobes in height. He is 22 years old, has light hair, and a thin beard all over his faoe. His complexion is rather sallow or “tan.” He is round-shouldered and a very mus cular man. TBAOBDX AT UNION 8PBINOS, AL ABAMA,i TAT LOB COUNTY CBOPM. Cedar Greek, Ga., August, 1877.

The measure waa aoou- rately mads; but the question is, How did they do it ? —An exobange thus soliloquizes: “The wise daughter is the pride of her father, yes, her mother also doth delight in her, but the foolish maiden bringeth sorrow; She bangeth on the front gate; she tip- peth up her hat over her left ear; she bangeth her hair.

When din< ner time came, several hundreds bad gathered athirst and ahnngered. This is the way the dinner was prepared and what it consisted of: At 7 o’oloek, Clark Wes ton, a oolored man who has served the fat men for years as a cook, had kindled four cords of hard wood on a foundation of large stones. At IX o’oloek the ashes were shovelled off aud 110 bushels of clams and oysters put in, and on top of them 350 dressed chickens wrapped in cloth, 400 lobsters, 600 pounds of bluefish, .3 barrels of sweet potatoes and 1,000 ears of com in husk. Then be enveloped the whole in oanvas and piled damp seaweed on the canvas, At 12:30 o’olook the mass was all oooked and flavored with the steam of the olam liquor, but it was allowed to simmer until 1:30 o’clock. Then the guests were fed by relays. This must have been, indeed, a magnificent spread, and over it, we have no doubt, the guests laughed and grew fat; yet we suspect the fat boy in Pick wick got more real solid oomfort out of his “weal pie.” A Modest Young Lady.—The Oswego (N. Y.) Palladium describes the unlucky adventure of two young women as fol lows : “Miss Bebee and Miss Vandyke went swimming in Vandercamp pond, town of Oodstantia, tbe other day, in the thinnest of fabrics. A young lad whom they kuew came along with a boat, and they induced him to take them in. He put out into tbe pond, and the girls thinking it funny to rock tbe boat, went at it and tipped her over. They Bank twice before help reaohed them, and than all tbe clothes were torn off from one of the young women in the effort to save her. She went down again, and positively re fused to be saved till they oould get some* thing to put around her, whioh waa finally accomplished, and she was hauled out.” Sensible Advlee.
