G. D. Hays lost a barrel of syrup a few days ago, by carelessness, from allowing it to fell out of a wagon. \Ve a.'e informed that it goes on record that Verge and not Bill Smith is the bailiff of the 285th dis trict. Schley is utilizing her fine potato crop by potato bread and biscuit, be sides feeding hogs, mules and cows upon them. The County Commissioners of Sum ter county have a very crazy bridge near Barlow’s Mill, for Schley’s citi zen’s to pass, over a deep gully. Judge J. H. Bivins had | of an acre in cane, from which he made one hundred and seventy-one gallons of syrup, besides saving twelve hundred stalks of seed cane. Comparatively’ speaking, Sells Bro.’s show only attracted a very small remnant of Schley’s citizen’s, and if they ever come again they will hardly get a spectator. Notwithstanding “ye local” is a Walker, he is put to a considerable trouble and inconvenience in getting up the News since he has become a walker; however, we hope to soon be on wheels again. When we see a contributor to a paper who uses a nom de plume, the first idea that occurs to us is that the writer is aware of the fact that his article will have more influence over any other name than his real one. A Schley’ county bailiff advertised for sale some property that was levied upon; the same property was levied upon with a fi fa in favor of the same bailiff, and after waiting the notice of sale of the first levy, on the outer side of the posted notice he wrote one of his own levy’s on the back side in which he began thus: “the folerin property spesified above is also levied upon with fi fa issued from” etc. This is the work of one who has been in office about fifteen years. Your Last Chance.—The follow ing is Tax Collector J. H. Stevens’ third and last round: Lickskillet,Mon day Nov. 27; Hart’s Mill, Tuesday 28; Willis Little’s, Wednesday 29, from ten to twelve a. m., and at Murray & Collins’ store from two to four p. m.; Stew’art’s Mill, Thursday 30; William Hickey’s, Friday Dec. Ist. The tax books will close the first of December, and to save the painful duty of issu ing tax fi fas, and to save the cost, you had better not be too late. We have published the appointments that none of our readers may have any excuse for not paying their taxes, and to-day there are three-fourths of the taxes uncollected. SCHLEY BOARD*OF EDUCATION.
