Brock (and Charlie), we had the pleasure of visiting and looking through the old Burns’ mills, situated ou the North Oconee river. The property was purchased several years ago by Mr. C. W. Hood, of Harmony Grove. We suppose from the surroundings, that it was at one time the best merchants’ mills in the county, and one amongst the first built in this section. At the time Mr. Hood bought it the property was considered to be in very fair condition, but it was far from the standard that it 9 owner desired, who realized the fact that, in order to make it pay a profit on the investment, he must put it in first-class order in every respect. Securing the services of Mr. T. A. Panel, of Gainesville, who is known as the best millwright in this section of country, Mr. Hood went to work, and has rc-built the mill over from top to bottom. Nothing remains of the old machinery except a few iron wheels. To commence at the bottom, Mr. Panel has put in four new turbine wheels, of his own pattern, each one running a separate set of rocks, two for wheat and two for corn. Mr. Panel claims that he can get better, work when each set of rocks is geared separately. The husk frame is a splendcd picco of workmanship, and is as steady when the mills are in motion as it is possible to get them. He has introduced several new improvements in the adjustment of the spindles, so that the best and most perfect balance can be obtained in the running of the rocks. In the management and handling ofthe grain the arrangements are complete, andfleaves nothing to be desired. Everything is made so as to avoid the heavy lifts that the miller usually has to undergo from the time the grain gets into the mill house. •In this mill the ground floor is on a level with a wagon body, the grain is carried in on a truck, weighed, and, minus the toll, is empted into a hole in the floor, from whence it is carried, by elevators, either to the wheat or corn mills. After undergoing the necessary cleaning in the upper stories, it is by the same means carried to the rocks. From the tims it leaves the sack until it comes back it Is under the most perfect control of the miller, who, by the mechanical arrangements, can stop its progress should ho so desire. The mill hoppers and their foeding arrangements are simple, yet the most efficient we ever saw, and enables the attendant to adjust the flow of grain to a nicety. As before stated, there are four sets of splendid rocks, two sets being entirely new. Each set is entirely independent from the other, and so arranged that they can bo put in operation with the greatest ease imagin able. The meal from the corn rocks is car ried by elevators to a chute, over the mouth of which the “ mill bag” has been placed, so that it is not handled except to tie the sack. Each set of wheat rocks has a separate and entirely distinot arrangement for bolting the flour. Upon this part of the machinery Mr. Panel has bestowed especial pains, and brought to bear all of his skill and knowl edge. He claims that lie has succeeded in securing most successful results, and that the" mills can turn out the best grade of flour that it is possible to get out of the wheat; that they will turn out a fancy grade of flour if desired, or the best of family flour; in fact, the miller can do most anything with the wheat that the customer desires. Wo noticed that in every part of the con struction especial care was given to prevent tbe least possible degree of waste, and, as far as wo are able to judge, the end has been at tained. So that any one can, with safety, send to Hood’s mill witli the positive knowl edge that they will get back all they send (of course minus the toll, as we presume he will want a little pay ; if he don’t, he will be the first man that ever ground without taking toll.) All of the gearing that runs the elevators, bolters, smuUers, &c., is entirely new and works like a charm, securing better results in every way. It is all run by a turbine wheel of Mr. Panel’* construction, doing the work more satisfactorily than the three old ones, and making at the same time a great saving in water* On the second floor a large granary has been constructed, so that wheat or corn can be placed in the elevators and carried up to it and emptied out each day, without any la bor whatever, thus preventing its heating, and at the same time securing it from exposure. Upon the whole, we must 83y that but lit tle has been left to be desired, cither as to quality of the workmanship or iu facilities for making first-class meal and flour. It seems that nothing has been overlooked, even to the smallest detail, and the result is, in every respect, almost a perfect mill, and an inspection of its machinery will make any honest miller’s mouth water and canse him to long to be the boss of one like it. With the improvements made, Mr. Hood has increased the value of his property at least fifty per cent., and we expect it has cost him every dollar of it, but he has the conso lation of knowing that he has the best mill in the county, and we expect in several adjoin ing ones; that it is capacitated to keep at least one-half of Jackson county in meal and flour with case and despatch, and we trust that the increased custom, by reason of its superiority, will amply repay him for the in vestment. Hundreds of Men, Women and Children Rescued from beds of pain, sickness and almost death and made strong and hearty by Parker’s Ginger Tonic are the best evidences in the world of its sterling worth. You can find these in every community. Post. See advertisement. City Wealth. In looking over the new tax digest, which has just been completed, to see how our county is in comparison with the balance of the world iu the race for wealth and material advancement, we find some curious figures, especially in regard to city and town property in this place, Harmony Grove, Nicholson and Maysville. The occasion of our search was from a de sire on our part to see what effect, or to what' extent the citizens of Jefferson had raised the valuation of their town property, in view of the early advent of the,railroad and its be coming a railroad metropolis. You can im agine our surprise ami chagrin when the figures told U 9 that our citizens considered that they were poorer by over two thousand dollars than they were last tax giving in time. That the prospect of a railroad has im poverished our town, we cannot and will not admit, or be convinced even by the logic of figures that this is true. We deny even the figures, and contend that they are not a true index. In support of our proposition, we de fy any man to come here and buy property at figures that would have made a sale two years ago; j’et, in the face of this, they give in their property at a less valuation than at that time. In 1880 the taxable town prop, orty. of this place aggregated $32,405; in 1881 it is $29,424, a difference of $2,981 in favor of last }’ear. It may be said that part of this falling off can be attributed to the fire that burnt out a block of our town last winter. While this destroyed some property, yet the increased appreciation in values that are real should more than compensate for this loss. Harmony Grove is also a little behind this year. From wbat cause we are at a loss to divine, for we well know that property is ap preciating in value in that thriving town. In 1880 they gave in that town at $19,065 ; in 1881 at $17,355, a falling off of $1,710. On the other hand, wo have two thriving towns that feel that they are worth more than they were last year, and are not ashamed to own it. In 1880 Maysville said she was worth $1,250; Nicholson saw her fifty dol lars better, making $1,300. This year they aroused themselves, and felt full grown. So Nicholson steps up and calls it $4,000 even. Maysville, not to be outdone (although one half of her lives in Banks count}’), makes it $4,220. So the race goes on. We will watch for the figures from these two thriving towns in the future with great interest. A review of the figures, and our knowledge of the places and the business that each one of the four towns in this county transacts, we are safe in estimating them at about one hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand dollars. But, you know, we don’t sell prop erty the way we give it in for taxes. A Card to the Public. Athens, Ga„ Aug. Bth, 1881. Mr. Editor: —We learn that certain par ties in Jackson county are engaged in the noble effort of trying to injure our business by telling the people that the “ Starved Rooster” Separator which we sold to the Messrs. Lyle was a failure, and could not be made to do satisfactory work. And right here let us say that wo do not charge this slander to the Messrs. Lyle, for we have had dealings with them aud known them inti mately for a long while, and wo feel certain that they hold themselves above any such conduct. The facts in the case arc as fol lows: We sold the machine to the Messrs. Lyle, and they perhaps did not understand how to work it (never having run one of that kind before) and did not get satisfactory work out of it. We afterwards sold it to Messrs. J. B. Sc J. G. Dunnahoo, and hero is what they say about it: *• The * Starved Rooster’ Separator which wo bought of you (the same that the Messrs. Lyle tried) has given perfect satisfaction to us and our pa trons—doing rapid work and cleaning the grain perfectly. We had no trouble in get ting the best results. Asa sample of its work, we would say that we made with it 100 bushels of toll in one and a half days. While we were at work, an experienced thresher man, and the best machinist in the county, came along and asked the privilege of feed ing the Separator awhile, to see what it would do. lie took hold of it and shoved the bun dles into it head first, butt-end first, side ways, and every imaginable way, and the machine took alLhe gave it, cleaned it well without choking* and called for more. We have no Itesitancy in saying that with this machine we can thresh 1,000 bushels per day, and do the work as well as any machine in the coun try.” Messrs. J. 11. Holland and W. H. Ander son, who bought from us one of the same machines, and a “ Starved Rooster” Traction Engine, say: “ The separator and engine give entire satisfaction to ourselves and cus tomers—traveling with ease over any ordi nary roads, and doing the very best work with great rapidity. We proposed to our customers that if they would place one tliou sand bushels of grain where we could get. at it, we would thresh it in a day, and do it as well as any thresher in the country, or forfeit the toll.” If the above home evidence is not suffici ent to prove that the Starved Rooster goods are very superior in every respect, we have in our office letters from over 500 purchasers for 1880 alone, ever}' one of whom give these goods the very highest praise. We have felt called upon to say this much, through your valuable columns, to set our selves right before the people. Our aim has always been to sell nothing but good goods, and the machinery all over the country that we have sold is evidence of our success in the effort. Yours truly, Orr & Hunter. Personal Mention.

Died, at Nicholson, Ga., on the 6th day of August, 1881, John Barleycorn. His health was thought to be failing early last spring by his friends, but he was anti stimulated and encouraged till the crisis was passed, and high hopes were entertained for his perma nent recovery. But some thirty days before his death symptoms presented themselves that put his intimate friends on the alert. Those symptoms seemed to pass and return, causing hope and alarm, until the evening before his death, when it was found by some of that his disease was malignant; that he wa? slowly but surely sinking. Early on the morning of the 6th he seemed to rally and be gaining strength. But imaginary, for at 10 o’clock the grim mobster seized him for his own, and he strug gled and fought until three o’clock P. M. f jwh£n he breathed hfs last in the presence of a few devoted friends. But why should his friepds mourn his death? His loss is their etefbal gain. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the coiurminity. *#* A Testament Reviser’s Opinion. The eminent author. Prof. A.

Wind it up at the same time every day. Keep, it in as even a temperature as possible. Sudden, transition from heat to cold may cause the main spring to break. If you would keep it clean nev-r. er put it in any pocket except one of leather. Those pockets which are 1 ned with cloth, cotton' or calico, give by the constant friction a certain fluff, which enters most Watch Cases and makes its way to the delicate parts of the watch. See that the pocket is turned and cleaned often, and’ take an old linen handkerchief and wipe carefully all the dust from under the hacks, bezel and cap, of the case. But above all you must be sure that the Case fits firmly, and to be sure of this, select one where the parts (center backs, cap, Ac.) are. each made from one piece of inetal. The JAMES BOSS’ Patent Stiffened or filled Cold W atch Case is so made, and not only does such a Watch Case become stronger and fit more perfectl}', but it enables the manu facturer to turn and form three pieces of metali (the outer ones being gold and the inner one of an inferior metal) into shape for the round parts, making to all appearaces and practical purposes just as good a Watch Case as the solid gold, at about one-half the cost to the purchaser. There are nearly one hundred thousand of theso Watch Cases now carried, and their good qualities are acknowledged by the same number of happy possessors. All Jewelers keep them, also illustrated cat%* logues for gratuitous distribution.
