Another Injunction —a MU for Relief and
Injunction was filed in the office of the Clerk of |
the Superior Court, on toe 224 icat., on the com
plaint of fifty two citizens of the connty, praying
“that all of the extraordinary tax, (levied lor the
year 1872.) msy be declared to have been illegally
levied, and that all of the county indebtedness,
•ed upon .he issues of bills, or circulation In
iffirmmee or renewal of the same, or for usury, or
■n account of all illegal conttscis, m#y be de
clared utterly null and void ; nd that the county
nd all tax pavers of the same, may be decreed
and torever ducbirged from the payment thereof.
That the Commissioners m*y Be decreed to have
■ad no legal or suthoriz and appointment, or legal
nihority to control the taxes of said connty, aud
ever to have been proper.y a legal board quad
deu to assess taxes, ai.d that said tax, assessed by
i.e Board ol Commissioners aud sought to be
ollecwd.msy be decreed to have been i legally ex
- ea, and tt.; the Tax Collect rbe etj >:ned ana
s'rained Horn issuing, c-r enforcing execution
or said tax, or mat if the executions Lave been l ti
tled, that he be enjoined from ever attempting to
collect the same.
We cull from the bili the following as the
most promtrent legal grounds upon which the
oregoing prayer is based : That the Board of Com
missioners were nominated aud appointed at the
August Term, 1872, ol the Super.or Court, when
bt act, creating said board, was passed on the
27th day ol August, 1872, pending said term of the
Superior Court., and required it by its terms that
the board should be nominated and appointed at
the next term of the Court after ite passage.
That the Grand Jury did not conform to said
act, because two of said board nominated were
members of their own body.
That but two of said board were qualified, when
the act required that said board should be organ
ized by all three taking the oath in the presence
of each other.
That said board had eo authority of law, for as
sessing two hundred per cept. of taxes, for connty
purposes, on the State tax.
The complainants in the bill, alledge as the rea
son for refusing to allow the taxes to be levied:
First, Because the tax was not assessed or
levied by any one having authority to levy the
same.
Second, Because said levy is largely in excess
of any immediate or just necessity for the wants
of the county.
Third, Because there was no emergency In the
affairs of said county, by suit, judgment or other
wise to require 6uch a levy.
Fourth, Because the taxes of the current year,
with a reasonable per cent, on the State tax,would
have been amply sufficient to have met all the le
gal wants or equitable claims chargeable on the
county funds, for the current year.
Fifth, Because the said Commissioners, or the
Ordinary of said county, have not pretended to
require the officers of said county, having many
thousand dollars of the connty funds in their
hands, in amount sufficient to cover any excess
over the ordinary wants of the county, to come
to any settlement, though said large admitted
balance, was not desired to be due, and that said
officers and their securities were liable therefor-
The bill was sworn to by Jno. R. Ralls, Wililam
Walker, Geo. W. Adams and G. G. Flynt.
On the 24th of January, Judge Greene, in
Chambers, granted a temporary Injunction against
the T.x Collector, restraining him from proceed
ing to collect the tax, until Friday the 81st day of
January, at 12 o’clock, m., at which time the In
jur coon expires, and he further ordered that the
Tax Collector show cause on said day in the city o!
Griffin, why the injunction, prayed for, should
not be grantid.

Mercer University.—The exercises of Mercer
University have been suspended, inconsequence
of sickness among the students. Tbe faculty dis
missed the scholars on Tuesday night last, and all
returned to their homes. Mr. Victor Ham, of
Butts, one of the students, informs ns that a
number were sick. Three deaths have occurred,
Georgo West, of Thompson; Richard Bennet, oi
Quitman; and C. Bookman, of Wilkes connty.
The disease was finally pronounced meningitis,
and prevailed seriously among the inmates of the
Dining and Lodging Hall. The arrangement is
that the students will be reassembled as soon as
the sickness abates.
We are informed, also, that a number of cases
have occurred in the city, some of which have
proven fatal.
Land Askncy.—We call the attention of our
readers to the notice of Col. Hammond and Mr.
Rhodes in reference to their proposed sale and
purchase of real estate for parties in this section
of the State. It is a very desirable agency for the
convenience of our people. Col. Hammond is
familiar with tbe titles of real estate in this sec
tion, and we know of no person who is better
able to judge of the price and quality of lands,
than Mr. George M. Rhodes. Parties who wish
to purchase or sell, will do well to apply to them,
as they will have many facilities for offering in
ducements for interest in real estate, or in the
disposal of lands at their highest market value.
In Place.—Of the county officers elected at
the late election, the following gentlemen have
given bonds, been qualified, and received their
commissions: E. Dumas, Ordinary ; Cyrus Sharp,
Clerk ; M. T. Harper, Treasurer; C. M. McCune,
SherifiT; 11. Y_ Gibson, Tax Collector. All have
gone to work in the duties of their stations. Of the
Justices of the Peace elected Massrs. T. W. King
of the Town district, C. F. Gibson of Redbone,
John C. Poe of the Seventh, J. H. Edwards Oi
Dillard’s, and J. G. Hucbaby of Russellville, have
been also sworn in.
Another Competitor —We regret omitting to
call attention to the season card of Mr. J. D
Proctor, grocery and provision dealer. By
earnest attention to business, and fair and prompt
dealing in all his transaction, and with every
customer, Mr. Proctor has won a place in the
front rars of the mercantile community ot
Forsyih, and is fully prepared to compete with
any of his neighbors We cordially commend
him to the purchasing public.
Anothfr Organization —Change appears to
be the outer of the day in business circles, as well
as in the character of the weather. We have been
called upon to cnconnce several among our busi
ness men, within a brief period, and to day the
union of Messrs. Palethorpe A Turner appears.
Inspect their well filled shelves and cases, if yon
desire to see any fancy article in tne confectionery
line. They have a full stock, and propose to con
duct their trade upon a liberal basis. Try them.
S. F. Wilder A Son. —We give to day the an
nouncement of the Messrs, Wilders that they have
fully reopened all the departments ot their foimer
business, and are again ready to greet their
friends. The energy displayed by these gentle
men to surmount the difficulties caused by the
fire has beea commendable, and we rejoice that
they are once more in position.
Unfortunate. —On Tuesday night last Mr.
Wm. Fisher reached town with a lot of mules,
which were unloaded, tut before they could be
stabled, they were frightened by the approach of
another train, and one that took the railroad for
hia race course was overtaken, and knocked off
the track minus both of his hind legs. The ani
mal was a valuable one.
County Correspondence.
Editor Advertiser; As we have been voicing
some of the obstacles to contend with, ia agricul
tural matters, especially on the ltbcr aues'loi., we
pursue the subject a little farther to spe&K of one
other (and by no means of little mport)—the dis
inclination of many of our color to labor.
They are much pleared to have it done—but
taking hold, and holding on, is quite another
thing. Any shift in the world but work. Office,
rent out their land, move to town, and such like.
We are of tbe opinion the stcck ol determination
and self-reiiance is too smalt lor tbe t mes,
Wby is there such * great cry tor labor • Mainly
on this account. We aver that if all the whites ip
the connty, able to work, would shuck off, and go
at it energetically, a different state ol things
would be seen. There is but little profit in tbe
bir.iing; why trouble ourselves about them*
The sooner we realize list tiu-. sitnatio: tbe bet
ter for ns Those who expect the country to be
oev-.loped, and reach great agricultural prosperity,
through the agency of the n gro, will surely die
disappointed.
It Africa lives it is all he desires. The day for
making fortunes out of him i6 past. With their
notions of labor, their wr.ges, and living to bo
taken off, where is the profit ? A great many of
cur people are nearly crazy about foreign emigra
tion-only proof that they wish for someone else
to do their work. Instead of themselves. No ob
jection to those who come in the right spirit; but
if the European comes among us, and developes
the county,so tar will it be his, not ours. The idea
of making fortunes out of them, is simply absurd.
There is but one way: just face the music
squarely. To those having a disposition to do so,
to t ave something of their own, and be some
body—without pretending to have found the
philosopher’s stone, or to being wiser than other
people, we will lay down a programme; if it
don t lead to success, I will approximate it.
This is the point aimed at. Now take an aver
age man, upon an average farm; on that farme
there is perhaps a good deal of the land exhausted
or much worn. Let that be. It will not pay to
cultivate It, or to have it done. Bat suppose there
is a small proffl; made by cultivating it, it will
pay decidedly a better per cent, to let it grow
sedge and pine, and recuperate—and at the end
of a number of years, the improvement in the
land, and consequently its enhanced value there
by will greatly exceed the net proceeds of culti
vation.
Know the capacity of ihe farm, and let the op
erations be confined to the best portions, if it is
in proportion of only ten acres to the hundred.
Hire a few good hands if yon can get them, upon
the best terms to be had. If they prove good,
pay all that is promised and a little more; have
no more surplus ones about, than is unavoidable;
plant to raise your own provisions if it takes every
acre in cultivation to do it. Where the difference,
if it takes all the proceeds of the cotton crop to
buy them ? Control your labor as much as you
can, but don’t expect proxy to do it all; stay at
home, don’t go town, the store, and other places
to while away time; study your business, exercis
ing energy, and judgment, and work yourself, aud
jnst so sure as the sun shines, the gentle dews
distil, and the showers fall, 60 sure are you of a
good living, not only that, but profits.
Suppose the physician, or lawyer, in their im
portant cases, should send some understrapper to
look after them, without attendine themselves,
would they succeed* So ol the farm. Use all
the labor that is available iD your white lamily,
especially yourself (now don’t forget that). Sort
are the profits. There is after all more clear money
ia the patches around the bouse, cultivated by
some oi ihe family, than all the <arm fields.
We often see it stated in the newspapers the
imount of cotton produced by white women.
Men, some of you ought to be ashamed of your
selves. The soTlest sight on tbs earth, is amu
m good heal.h, too lazy to work, no en
wgy> ho credit, dragging his slow hngth along,
< king out a sort of existence, can’t make a living,
bard up.
Wnere la the manhood <f the county* If
energized and properly directed, what could it
accomplish. Young man, dont think you are too
good to work with your thoughts turned, to

Another effort to develop tbe mineral resour
ces of Georgia has proven successful. Messrs.
V endevendere and Mcllwaine have purchased
the beds near Cave Spring, and are daily ship
ping the crude ore to Indiana. The Rome Com
mercial says: They have now employed about
fifty hands, and will soon increase the number to
one hundred. This is an adventure that our citi
zens never dreamed of, and illustrates most forci
bly the value of our interests. These gentlemen
are now distributing about lour hnndred dollars
per day for labor and freight and net profits in
ibis community, and all this comes from Northern
consumers. Over one hundred thousand dollars
per annum is thus added to the productive inter
ests of onr county, and this sum will soon be
doubled. Yerily our hopes for the future are on
a solid foundation.
Virginia Prosperity.—The Petersburg (Va.)
Index believes that Virginia is becoming prosper
ous. It says:
Money is more plentiful and at easier rates year
by year. New industries have been established
and are prospering, while those already estab
lished have advanced far beyond their former
measure of profit. Not a town in our limits but
is fairly prosperous, and Dot a county where
fences have not been replaced, houses built, stock
increased, farming utensils renewed, fertilizers
applied and increased production over the dark
years of 1867, ’6B und ’69 realized. A large por
tion of the farming class is ttlll in the great diffi
culties, but State repudiation will but plunge
them deeper. Let the Legislature only preserve
our public credit, and all may yet be well.

Cufid’s Ambascadks. — The sly archer,
Love, shoots his arrows through many coiguß oi
vantage, but It is doubtful if he delivers his heart
taking shafts from any ambush with more i fleet
than when he arms them from the- folds and ring
lets of a superb htad of hair. Ladies who have
not been favored by nature with this crowning
charm of womanhood, can certainly increase the
volume of their hair a a& 4mpart to it a silken
lustre by using Lyon’s Kathairon as a daily dress

with a superabundance of this “Glory” of tbe sex,
esn preserve it undiminished in quality and undi
minished beauty to the latest period ol life. There
is a germinating principle in the Kathairon which
literally compels the hair to grow. It extirpates
