Editors Tikes Ektiepeise, T-tomasriUe, G*., Dear Sin: Ic hssbeen stated over the slgtstuei of proniaent men of Oeiio tlist the peo ple of Keiga—excepting the po ltteiuu —are not afraid of high taxes in oaas lbs county of Gmdjr is formed. If this be trne, I most confess that I am tor. prised to learn that we have each a growth of ‘ politicians." I haven't taken the pilot to count them, as tlie.v will ran w.v op in the hundreds. The peorl - of Meigs district to a man an far as I ain advised, oppoee the new county ico'cment. Some of ne own real estate i-i the proposed new connty and in the capacity of t,r payers certainly I are a right to oppose it. The paop'e who are fighting for the new county very well know that wonld be detrimental to their canse to p ace tlie matter before the people at a plain holiness proposition. Hon than once nlreaiylpve they shown strongly their nnwillingneee to have tliejothor side presented Taiahti values in Uelgs district, con sidering th > area, rank next to Thom- asville. n view of the harden that wonld be incumbent upon ns in the wa> of in tro red taxes, and the hemtaediin, isjlat.d po.itioL Uelgs would be left in, ifGrady c, nnty should bo formed, we propose to fl.ht the new ooonty move ment through eTery nvenne that is open tone. Who will represent Thomas oonnly in the House nf Representatives whin thia metier c.unes before (lie Legislature? From Information gather'd both di rectly and indirectly it •seme to mo that th* distinguished gentlemen upon whom the houor of representing Thomaa ooonty Was bestowed are representing a conuty that was onboard of at the time of tlieir eie -tion. I sincerely hope that they will he able to see and net in the matter aa representatives c-f the good old coni-iy of Thomas. E E.

A TIiouias ooonty boy Hr. O. G. Dan iel, writes ax follows from Howard Texas, in r gard to various affaire. Hs says, “I have been out (iere in the lone star .talc fur nearly fe yrars and have had experience of all kinds of weather bo11 most stT it lint been llie coldest weather for the last days I aver wit nessed. Ice has been as thick as a knife blade io II19 inch 3'. A few days ago the sleet cowed the ground about one inch thick and stayed that way for a week or more Some of the buys around Howard mads them sleighs ard went alelghriding. I was sick at the time I had been ex, poerd 10 111* mraslet and ti ought it beet to slay indoors. A good many people had ilia measles ibis year. . ome it kilted and soma ware not lima. Every body la getting befilud with tlieir work and I think it wonld be a good plan for them to let half of their land lay oot and put the other half in corn and wheat and hold what cotton they hav* until next y.ar, maybe they coold sell it for 8 ots. any way. Nearly everybody is lioldlng cotton out here. Tlie farm ers are united, not nil bnt a gnod many of them and I long to sen the dav when all the faioiers will come tosethir nud stay together and then they can do to suit themselves and not have to go by what others say. They esn raise hog and hominy and keep just ns fat as they can raise flee cant cotton to keep some one else fat.” or Uuigi. “Gentlemen. 1 have heard a heap of talk almnt your baby, bnt hav* not seen him.
