Sheriff’s Sales.
Sheriff Hurst had a large and inter
ested audience when he mounted the
block y’esterday, it beiug legal sales
day. The fact that a large amount of
lands were to be sold by Mr. S. L.
Hayes, administrator of the estate of
the late S. Alexander Smith, attracted
many. Thirteen lots belonging to the
estate were sold. Among the pur
chasers were Col. Wright, Messrs, S.
Cassels, Junius Smith, Achilles
Smith, Joshua Barrow, W. T. Su
tlers, G. W. Ricks and J. S. Mont
gomery. The property is all located
in this county. The sales aggregated
between twelve and thirteen thousand
dollars. The prices realized wero
satisfactory, and showed that there is
au increasing demand for country
property,
A lot wao sold belonging to the
cstato of the late Dr. Adams. This
was also sold by Mr. Hayes. Some
land belonging to the Heeth estate
was also sold. The stock of drugs,
with fixtures, Ac., of tho Mitchell
House Pharmncy, was sold to Mr. C.
W. Tompkins at $1,075.
P.S. Heeth.
Pliny Heeth needs no introduction
to the people of Thomas county at
our hands. His announcement as a
candidate for Tax Collector of Thom
as county appears elsewhere. We
risk nothing in crying that Mr. Heeth
has been one of the most faithful
and efficient officers in tho county
He has flllod tho position of tax
collector for many years, and has a
clean, honorable record. Every
nickel collected by him has been
accounted for. In fact few counties
in Georgia has been blessed with such
a tax collector. Mr. Heeth is a
democrat all tho way through, and
submits bis claims to the action of the
party. And he will loyally abide by
that decision. He has served the
people faithfully and honestly, and
will, if re-elected, still serve them
with the same fidelity.

For the present he will continue bus
