GEORGIA’S BIG INCREASE.
The great increase in the taxable
value of property in Georgia dur¬
ing the present year, is most won¬
derful and gratifying to every
citizen.
The tax returns have been re¬
ceived by the comptroller from
about 120 counties, and the aggre¬
gate increase in the taxable values
in these counties foots up, in round
t
figures, about $15,000,000 over the
returns from the same counties last
year.
It is thought the. counties yet to
be heard from will probably add
ouuui * j,ooo.ooo to the above fig¬
ures, thus making the total in¬
crease in the state about $i8,ooo,
ooo.
This is a most gratifying increase
in the property values of our state,
d o u bt . gi ve us a very
material reduction in our state tax
ratp had for borrow fnni $200 this
ernor to ,000,
summer, to pay the teachers of the
state, while the appropriations
made by the last legislature were
nearly all too large for the income
of the state to meet.
The same rate of taxation this
year that was levied last year will
gUw L
and enable the state to meet all its
obligations promptly and satisfac¬
torily.
With a full crop this year, and a
good and fair price for cotton,
Georgia will enter upon a season
of prosperity never before known
or enjoyed since the war.
But the gold standard has had
nothing to do with this gratifying
increase in the taxable values of
our state.
A generous Providence has vouch¬
safed it to us as a reward for our
industry, labor, and frugal habits—
the good price of cotton the past
season being oneof the main fac¬
tors, as a means used, for bringing
about this gratifying state of affairs.
A full crop the present season,
with a good price for cotton, will
be another rich blessing, for which
we should all be most profoundly
thankful.
Later —Since the foregoing was
put in type, full returns from all
the counties have been received,
and they show’ a net increase of
$*71487,193 over last year.

A Grand Picnic,
Snapping Shoals, Ga.,
August 12, 1901.
Covington Star Mrs. T. J.

ner, who are visiting relatives and
friends at Snapping Shoals, were
delightfully entertained last Fri¬
day, at a picnic and fish fry given
in their honor by Messrs. Aiken
and Lawson Lummus, near Island
Shoals. Fish caught by young
folks, and fires built among the
rocks in the shade, skillets and
frying pans were soon filled and
cooked. Beautiful snow white
table cloths were spread under the
grand old oaks. Then, oh such a
fine dinner, Chickens, fish, meats,
salads, pickles, and in fact all good
things too numerous to mention.
Luscious watermelons, peaches,
grapes, good time, etc. Everybody bad a
even to the old folks,
and it was a picnic and fish fry that
will ever be remembered with pleas¬
ure. Messrs. Aiken and Lawson
Lummus know just how to make
every one have a good time. They
are very popular, and are two no
hie young men that will some day
be a treasure and fortune to some
girls, if so fortunate to win the
prize. No wonder their parents
are so proud of them.
Those who were at the fish fry
were : Misses Fannie, Minnie,
