In a conversation with the News Prof. Miller slated that he thought the tax digests of the county needed revising, ond he proposed to bring the matter before ibo next grand jury. There are 2100 names on the digest, while tnero are only about 1800 poiis in the county, showing that there ere at least 250 names that should not be there. Some of tl e parties arc dead and some have moved, and aie unjustly reported as defaulters when they are honestly payiDg their taxes in other counties just as thej’ did while here. It is an injustice to tbu individuals as well as to the county to have these names continued ou (ho digest from year to year. At the recent examination for coun ty school te .chore, there were eleven applicants, eight of whom passed. The three who failed '-.ere <• lored. There aie about twenty five colored teachers in the county, but most of there art* examined in Atlanta, where they attended the different colored universities, all of which, according to Prof. Miller, are doing good work in educating the negro. Prof. Miller is in favor of using the school fund for one or two years for the erection of school Louses in the different districts. While this would necessitate paying for school ing from private resources during tne time, it would bo a permanent improvement to the county and would in the end inuro most beneficially to the public school system.

We doubt if there is another place in the world where aa much regard is paid to the social courtesies and pleasant amenities—the {softening, humanizing and enjoyable aspect of civilization—as in Griffiu. It may be horrifying amidst a hard, utilitarian and money loving world of devotees to Mammon and avarice, but it is none tho less true that people in this section livo to enjoy themselves rather than to grmv rich. Forget ting tho doctrine by which so many live, that the only object of life is to leave something behind when one dies, Gulfia people remember that a man lives but once and believe in tho motto of “Dum vivimus viva miis.'' * * * Y\ tide this is always true, and there me sowiul calls and pleasant dinings and small suppers anil general swinging around the clrclo during the whole cycle of the year, yet it is in the lime just before Lent that everybody in remembrance of that penitential period unites in an “all hands around and grand right aud left,** that is liable to make dizzy the too giddy devotee of pleasure and folly. It is for this reason that Griffin society, which has been quiet slumbering ou the surface during the most of the winter, has bubbled over during the week just closed. ♦ 4? * There is no bouse in the whole South that is better prepared for the uses of hospitality than the Bailey mansion. Spacious rooms, wide halls and iofty columned verandas, all fum ished with elegance and taste, render the art of entertaining easy and make the guests almost independent of everything but themselves. When to these are added the charms and tact of such a hostess as Mrs. Mary Fowler, it is not to be wondered at that the party of Tuesday night far eclipsed even the Club reception and rivalled the great leap year party— though so different from the last that no comparison can fairly be made. The night was beautiful—a warm Southern moon shining from a clear sky and an atmosphere so balmy in midwinter that the most pleasant evening was spent by those who prom euaded the veranda, or talked in low murmurs on the small balcony high above. There was dancing and eat ing and other refreshments, and two o’clock was early when all left. * * * Skipping intervening matters, such as a tripe supper, an Arcade dinner, a fish breakfast and an oyster tea, we are plunged into the bewildering whirl of the masquerade party at Mary Villa on Friday night. This time one of the sudden changes in the weather incident to this section had come, and brilliant moonlight was displaced by the wettest and darkest night of the season. Yet the weather only made the contrast more agreeable alter emerging from the not uncosy depth of the carriage in to the warmth and brilliance of Col. Mills’ pleasant home. The costumes? Who shall describe a modern fancy ball costume, when it is impossible to tell a Swiss peasant girl from a Turk or the Duke of Macon from an Atlanta vase ballist Ed. Jones, however, in the character of Aleck Murray, with a coffin fer a costume, was the most striking if not beautiful figure; while the noble Indians whooped things up as lively as could be expected of their untutored minds. The dan cing was enjoyable and the refresh ments delightful. The affair was given by Miss Bessie Mills in honor of Miss Etta Myers, of Atlanta; and the Savannah revenue officer was there also. The first society event of this we k 1 will be tho Mendelssohn Quintette j j concert at the College bajl on Tues day night; though there will be an | entertainment by Love's Comedy Company and Famous New Orleans Grand Gift Carnival at Patterson‘s ball on Monday night. ti“It’« only a question of time,” anil a short yme, too, as to when your rheumatism will leld to Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

Washington, Feb. ‘i .—Senator gift of $100 to Trinity Col at Hartford, to register his de as LL. D., calls attention to the of some of his brother Senators educational institutions. Joe Ga., thinks one of the best he did in his life was the short of study lie procured at Yale. is now one of tho richest men the South, and he surpasses Alex II. Stephens in his gifts to men for educational purposes, ids methods of giving tend to men and not paupers out of students. Brown gave $50,000 the Southern Baptist Theological at Louisville, Ky., and $50,000 he gave to the State of Georgia. This last is invested in 7 per cent which have fifty years to run^ the interest of which is j>aya*ble Two thousand fivo hun dollars of this interest goes to students at Athens, Ga., and $1,- is given to the branch college at This money is tor the of indigent students, and student so helped gives the ohli that on leaving the college will pay hack the money as soon be can make it to the University, Such payments are to he added to the principal and thus increase the the^capitul fun No student at Ath ens College is permitted to spend $500 a year, nor more than $150 a year at Dahlonega. The "student who wishes to bo aided by tho fund must be a worthy young man who is unable to pay for his tuition or whose parents are not able to educate him. Gov. Brown tolls me that his fund keeps from twentystwo to twenty- five young men constantly in college, and that as one set passes off by grad uation others tollow and that the places arc all the time occupied. The plan upon which the charity is found ed is perhaps the best one ever in vented. It continually increases the endowment and students can avail themselves of it without feeling that they are beggars or charity students. Senator Brown is probably espec ially interested in the branch college at Dahlonega by this being the seat of some eif his first adventures in Georgia. W hen Brown came to Georgia he fi c. lived at Gaddistown, and here, it is said, be ploughed on the hillsides in his bare feet with a bull and hauled wood into Dahlone ga, selling vegetables in a basket to the hotel there, and thus aiding in tho support of his father’s large family. At this time, I doubt not, some of the citizens at Dahlonega thought Joe Brown rather “small potatoes,” hut he is now rich enough to buy a hundred such towns and h*e has given this iarge amount to the college there. Senator Palmer is another charita ble millio: .ire, but his tastes run more to ait and religion, il has built a very pretty church in Detroi to his moth i’s memory and ho gave $10,000 to the art gallery of Dc'roir. Senator Stanford’s royal gift of from $15,000,000 to *2G .AX),000 for a uni versity in California has wide notice, and Stanford is as ful in his gifts as Senator Brown. is building the university now, in der that there may be no fuss the donation after kis death, and charities arc many. Senator Wilson, of Iowa, has done a good deal for library of bis town, and this is true nearly every one of the members the United States Senate. The greatest givers, however, are ford, Palmer and Brown. AT COST!
