COLLECTION OF STATE TAXES.
press, air. Winter's en
tire crop of cotton, that he had gath
ered, was burned. We- have not as
yet learned particulars.
The following official circular from
the Comptroller General to the Tax
Collectors of Georgia, w ill be interest
ing to the tax payers, and we publish
it for their.benefit. It will be seen that
those who fail to pay their taxes in
time for the Collector to make his re
turn by the time specified will suffer
the penalty.
Comptroller Gen’s Office, )
August 1st, 1873. j
To the Tlt Collector* of Georgia:
The law requires me to have the
taxes collected by Decemticr 15th
next. I shall therefore exj>ect and
positively require every Tax Collector
in the State to settle with this office on
or before that time, or they mustsuffer
tho penalty. Close your books, issue
ti. fas. etc., in ample time to make
settlement as above.
W. L. Goldsmith,
Comptroller General.
It will be observed that there is
absolutely no discretion left with tho
Tax Collectors, all State taxes must
he paid by the first of November, at
which time the Collectors are expected
to close up their books in order that
they may have the necessary time
(thirty days) to publish all defaulters.
1 ax payers will save themselves trouble
and expense, and the Tax Collectors
time and annoyance, by paying their
taxes as early as possible.
Tlie Granges.
The Granges are daily becoming
more popular with the people, and the
house of Talmadge, Hodgson & Co.
is becoming daily more popular with
the Granges. They keep the very
best quality of goods, and scll them at
the lowest figures.
It will eost von nothing to examine
their goods and prices.
The Granges.—In the course of
a speech delivered in Augusta last
week, by Mr. C. W. Howard lie
said: “ It is projected by the Granges
to establish a hank of accommodation,
also for the benefit of farmers — sup
plying them with money at a low
rate of interest with which torun their
farms. It is believed that 12,000
bales of cotton can be controlled by
the State Grange, upen which
capital of $1,000,000 could be secured
for this bank. When the organization
is completed, and the amount of the
present cotton crop of Georgia is
somewhat definitely ascertained, it is
also proposed that the State Grange
styill fix the prices of cotton for this crop
at,18p r 20. cents, or such sum as in
their judgement may seem best.
Post Office.—We would propose
rc - to the owners of the Deuprec property
to build a house on the vacant lot ad
joining Dr. King’s Drug Store for a
Post Office. We don’t know a better
location in the city for such an office.
Most of the business is done on Broad
street, and it is there that merchants
“ most do congregate,” and such public
buildings should bo located as much
for their convenience as possible. We
(relieve it would give general satisfac
tion, and we hope the matter will he
considered by those who own the lot,
We believe it would pay.
Professor B. B. Elston.—We
hope our readers will read the adver
tisement of this gentleman, more par
ticularly the youths and young men of
our city. Mr. Euston proposes to open
a class in Penmanship and Bookkeep
ing. All young persons should avail
themselves of this opportunity to write
n handsome hand (for it is really an
accomplishment),and become thorough
ilookkee|>crs. We all know that a first-
class Penman and Bookkeeper will
command a high salary—they are very
scarce, and are eagerly sought after by
merchants. Professor Fustin comes to
us highly recommended. We have
| examined his specimens, and unhesita-
tingly pronounce them superior to any
thing of the kind we have ever seen.
Specimens may be seen at the Post
Office.
The Dupree Will Case.—This
case, in which so much property was
involved, was settled Wednesday at
Lexington Court by compromise. The
atorneys agreed upon a verdict, which
was signed by the jury. We learn the
cavators allowed the propounders their
lawyer’s fees amounting to $20,000,
All agreeing that Judge Dupree died
intestate. Council for executors
would have been allowed fees for pro
bating the will, had the case been
given in favor of either party. We are
highly pleased. Dr. Hiinnicutt, and
Messrs. Yancey and McCalla have
come out victorious. They were
certainly entitled to it, and we con
sciously believe it was a just verdict.
A man’s children should certainly
inherit his property.

There will be a wonder at the Macon

Unfortunately for him it was put on up

A Sharp Criticism on Mrs. Jas.
A. Oates.—The New York of
Tuesday, shines hotly on the head of
Mrs. James A. Oates—or rather Titus
—the lively little lady so well known
“down South,” and who is now playing
an engagement in New York. It
says:
“Mrs. J. A. Oates imjiersonatcd Mrs.
James A. Oates under a different name
last evening at the Olympic Theatre.
On this occasion she called herself the
Grand Duchesse. This name was
about the only resemblance which she
bore to the heroine of Offenbach’s most
popular opj-ra boutfe. She appears to
be ignorant of any kind of art, is in
temperate in the use of a rather hard,
sharp voice, in :i certain unvarying se
ries of bodily motions, and the* means
of showing self-consciousness. She
seems inclined to hold intimate rela
tions w ith her auditors, and generally
talks to, looks and smiles at them, in
stead of addressing herself to the per
sonages who help her in the. attempted
representation. This representation
is sometimes funny; at least that given
last night was so, but not in the way
that Offenbach intended. The dresses
were bright enough, and so was the
scenery; nnd a moderately large audi
ence was present.”
The managers of the Tennessee State
Fair disgraced themselves by allowing
a “gandA-pulIing” exhibition at Nash
ville on last Thursday. The brutal
performance is thusdescrihed: A rope
is stretched at such a height that the
neck of a live goose suspended from the
centre is barely within the reach of a
man riding a bare-backed horse. The
feathers are plucked from the goose’s
neck, which is greased. The “knights”
who engage in the “tournament” ride
under the rope at a gallop nnd seized
the bird’s neck, the man who pulls it
off being proclaimed tlie victor. The
Warrants for tlie arrest of ninety coun
terfeiters and those implicated in East
Tennessee and North Carolina, have been
issued. The implicated parties include
lawyers, doctors. Justices of the Peace,
Postmasters, United States deputy mar
shals, Clerks of Courts, and humorous
merchants. The counterfeiting area em
braces two hundred miles. Mounted ex
peditions made a surprise.
The Newbcrn Time* bus the follow'ing
intelligence: The ivronuut of Haight's
circus met with a serious accident at
Kingston, recently, which may prove fa
tal. It seems that the balloon in de
scending, and when about one hundred
feet from the ground bursted, and came
down with a crash, crushing the man
badly. He was removed on a litter and
and medical assistance rendered.
Calhoun Timex: On Saturday morning
last about ten o'clock the people of this
community were thrilled by the announce
ment that the body of Alfred Hicks, a
son of Mr. II. K. Hicks, a respected citi
zen ot our town, bad been discovered
in the pond, about one-fourth of a mile
above Oglesby’s mill. The true manner
in which he met his death is yet envelop
ed in mystery, and suspicions of foul
play rest Another boys who were with
him on the fatal evening.
Albany Central City : Dr. Calloway, of
Lee county, brought in on Monday' last
one of the most wondcrlul curiosities it

chicken, which in the Spring would be a
dominccker hen. laying eggs and per
forming all the duties ot a hen. By Fall
ot the same year this hen would change
it* plumage aiul ter and become a red
rooster, discharging all the functions
and confirming to all the habits ot

Mortimer M. Leggot, a young student
at Cornell University, and son of the
Commissioner ol Patents, was found
about ten o’clock a few evenings since in
a secluded ravine near Ithaca so serious
ly injured that he died before midnight.
His death was caused by a fracture of
the skull nnd dislocation of the neck. It
is reported that ihc unfortunate youth
was being initiated into one ofthosc ab
surd secret societies which disgrace some
colleges, and that during the ceremony,
being blindfolded, he fell over the bluff.
The pathetic story contained in the
old balled “The Mistletoe Bough.” had
something of a parallel on the 9th inst.,
at Cedar Rapids, Mich. A Mrs Smith,
while visiting her mother in that city,
missed her iufunt son, about eighteen
months old, when she prepared to depart.
They searched the house and at lust
found the child dead in a trunk. Like
the hapless bride in the old song the
child Imd entered the trunk onlv to
meet its death. The heavy lid had’ fal
len upon its neck and had broken tlie
spinal vertebra;. The unfortunate moth
er became almost insane over tho event,
and her condition at last accounts was
precarious, owing to the excess of her
grief.
The Legislature of 8outh Carolina met

coupons upon the bonds pay certificates,

ol State indebtedness to lie returned to
the State Treasurer, who shall issue in
stead other bonds or certificates of stock
equal in amount to the face value of such

A terrible prairie fire swept over twen
ty-five miles of country near the Omnlm
and South-western Railroad in Saline
nnd Jefferson counties, Nebraska, on
Tuesday. Many houses nnd large quan
tities of grain were destroyed. At Wit
tier ten school children were caught iu
the flumes. Three perished on the spot,
three more will die and four arc dread
fully maimed, hut will recover. Mrs.
Manley, mother of three of the children,
ran to help them and received fatal in
juries. The fire originated near the
Otoe reservation and traveled northenst,
a distance of over twenty-five miles, de
stroying everything in its path. Near
Wilber nnd ten milta south of Crete, the
avnlnnche of flume approached a school
house filled with children, a number of
whom rushed ont and endeavored to es-
o-ipe. Ten of them were overtaken and
three burned to death; three fatally in
jured and four very severely maimed.
Most of them are girls. The mother of
three ot these children, in her endeavors
to save them, was so terribly burned
that tbe .cannot recover. Immense quan
tities ot grain, many houses nnd barns
were destroyed, and there is much suffer-
i ering feared in consequence.

The Only Known Meiiicine
That at the same time Purges, Purifies, and
.Strengthens the Svsteai.
Dr. Tutt’s Pills are composed of ninny inpHi-
ents. Prominent among them are Saropanllxsi.d
Wild Cherry, so united as to net togetlicr; the ont-
through its admixture with other substances, puri
fying ami purging; while the other is strength*fl
ing the system. Thus these Pills arc at tlie same
time a tonic and « cathartic, a des deratnm I«ag
sought lor by medical men, but never Infore dh-
covered. In other words, they dolthe w. rk of two
medicines and do it much better than any two w»
know of, for they remove nothing from the »)*!«»
but impurities, so that while they purge they
strengthen and hence they caufie no debility aoa
arc foil* wed by no reaction.
D». Tutt’s Pills have a wonderful inflnence on
the blood. They not only purify without weaken
ing It, but they remove all noxious particle*
the chyle before it is converted in to tiuid, and tlui
makes impure blood an utter iinpos^bUitv. A«
there is no debilitatvon, so there is no naviK* cr
sickye&s attending the opiteratiuu of thisin<>*t
cellent medicine, which never strains or u-rtuns
the digestive organs, but cau.-b5 them to work id a
perfectly natural manner; hence prisons taksoc
them do not become pale and eam iatod, t ul 00
