CORRESPONDENCE.
The Labor of An Efficient Corps of
County Reporters.
Bohemian's Budget.
Ckoii., February 11th.—This is the
wetesi, coldest, nastiest weather in
the memory of your correspondent.
Last week iny thermometer registered
four degrees below zero, and now it
is raining again.
There is a difference of opinion as
to the real damage by last week’s
freeze. Oats that were sown after
the other freeze wore up, and our far
mers were hopeful of a good crop.
The second sowing is injured, but
not all killed, is the verdict here. It
was no “lack of confidence,” as in the
case of the ourrenoy, as the farmers
put in all the seed they eonld get, in
full faith; I therefore think this may
be called the Bond Freeze.
By the way: Can everybody he
wrong but tho PresidentV Thi*abuse
of Congress beenuse it will not yield
to the one man power, smacks not of
democracy. Tne Executive is not
tlio law-making power, any more than
a Judge of the Superior court.
'It seems some of our leading dailies
are either trying to lead the people
into a monarchy, or they have never
read the Constitution of the United
States. I blame Congress only that
they do not get together on some fi
nancial plan that favors all classes,
and give the President a chance to
veto it. That would give Democracy
a chalice.
Mr. D. McLeod and his estimable
wife, of Fayetteville, N. C., are vis
iting Mr. Thomas McLeod, in Cecil,
lie is a close observer of things, and
is pleased witli our country. Full of
wit and wisdom, I can but regret that
his stay among us is like May roses
—only transient.
Mr. <L L. Barfield, of Lowndes
nounty, died on the 7th instant, and
was buried with Masonic honors on
i lie 9th. He was a good Mason, a
ivipg husband, a kind father, and
highly esteemed by his neighbors.
Uu leaves a wifoand several children.

OiAm., February 13,—Mr. West
Houhtree, the oldest settler of
Lowndes county, died suddenly at
his home on i.ittle River yesteyday
evening at !) o’clock. I learn that
lie had gone out lo the woodpile for
some wood, ami fell dead while get
ting it.
Mr. Rountree was born in Burke
county, in 1S14. ami came to Tolfaii
sninty with Ills fuller when a child.
His father, Janus lirtmitiee, moved
to Lowndes, the second settlor, (Joe
and John Bryant being the first,) in
1823, and denied on the Place where
West, Rountree, witli nis brother,
James, lived.
Mr. West Bountreu settled in the
yard where ho died in 181(7, and in
1844, March (5, was married to,,Miss
Edith Folsom, who still survives him.
lie left five sons and one daughter—
%'ssrs. James W., George F., Noel
L., William F. and Hardy V. Roun
tree, and Mrs. Elizabeth Joyce.
,ithough lie never held any office
above road commissioner, yet there
was no man in this section of the
statu more widely known or more
esteemed as a citizen. He was of
that school of gentlemen whom it was
not necessary to swear to get the
truth, or to take his note tor a debt.
Truly, one of the best citizens of
Lowndes county has gone, nnd left a
monument in the hearts of her people.
Boukmiax.
down on the list in same column, and
thereby doubled his taxes. His tax
able property was §53.00, but digest
showed it to be <100.00, and so on.
All of,these errors happen thus.
But I do not accuse Tax Payer
and Ike of being guilty of making
these errors, as they seem to be in
quiring men, and, most assuredly, if
they did not already understand fill
ing their blank lists, would have
found out the proper way to fill them.
I suggest to them to fill their lists
properly, at any rate, as they are
financiers, and thereby save" tax pay
ers the expense of the corrections.

Bci»l}' to T:v\ Payer.
Nasiiviu.e, February 12.— Tax
Payer, at Ariel, (ia., on January 30th
wrote to you to nee if ye could not
get Nome information on finance, as
Ike had got him in a query by |wo-
ponnding the queation: “VVhat riglit
has our Comity Commisiionors to
pay a man to norreet the mistaken of
the Tax Receiver, etc.”
I desire to state, for the benefit of
all who are charging onr Tax Receiver
with these errors, and especially Tax
Payer and Ike, that their accusations
are wrong, and it was not he wlto
made fhem, but tax payers.
Tax Payer, (I don’t know his
name), and Ike may have made some
of these errors, I can't now tell; suf
fice it to say they were made. Most
of them happen in the improper fill
mg of the list which ia furnished
by the Receiver, that the return is
made on. For instance, when a payer
fills his list and intends to put down
$1.00, he sometimes gets it down
♦100.00; $20.00 for 20 opnts, tto.
Nine-tenths of them are made this
way, but the Receiver must make
digest from lists and wlmt. was actu
ally written therein, not what a man
intended to write.
I corrected one man's list, who,
when be filled it, intended to put 20
cents on it, and in another item on
same list lie aimed to put it $2.00,and
put it $200.00. He owned a pig-fid
dle which he valued at 20 cents, a
hog at 12.00; but the list returned,
and from which the Assessor bad to
make digest, showed $220.00 worth
of property, when the fellow only
h«<l $2.20 worth.
Another gentle man filled his own
list and then added it, to ascertain
amount returned, arid set his amount

items, which you can publish, if
found worthy,
Farmers are hnsv preparing their
lands for another crop. And their
present outlook bids fair for an abun
dant one.
Mr. II. L. Parrish's little ten
month's old bahv lias been very sick
for the last few diys, but is slowly
convalescing. We hope the little
sufferer will Roon he entirely well.

in tlie riglit place
Miss Emma Smith, of Brooks
county, lias charge of the Gum Creek
school, which is in a flourishing con
dition. Wo wisli her abundant suc
cess in her chosen profession.
Logrolling time will soon ho a
thing of the past, and to iny regret,
How I do enjoy those log-rolling
dinners! '
We truthfully say that Beo Par
rish and C. II. Sineath never led the
van in the sheep-lmnt. Wliilo try
ing to save them from being drowned,
they got lost.
Guess who got lost Friday night
last, after leaving their bust girls t
We refer to J. M. Hancock and J•
Crosby.

Exdima, Fell., 13.—Look out for
nnd take care of the consequence)'
ami tlio excuses will take care of
themselves.
Tlio winter of 1894-1805 will sure
ly be remembered in the south, as the
coldest within the memory of the old
est inhabitants.
A good many farmers, who had
their oats killed by the- freeze during
the holidays, Imd resown and have
now lost the second crop. This is
indeed, discouraging; but, friends, do
not give up tlie ship! Keep trying.
If you cannot raise oats raise oats,
raise corn, ground peas, chufas, pota
toes, hogs; in fact, raise anything be-
sides h—II and cotton.
Some of onr people arc receiving
invitations from his honor, Judge
Emory Speer, to attend a meeting of
the United States court, nt Savannah
next week. U|> to date I have heard
of no ono who iias declined the
tiition.
And still they continue to arrive.
This time Mr, and Mis. 1). L. Mc
