My Dear Mo.—Well I was sor
ry lust night you were not around
at the caning of Rev. Mr. C. Rut
upon inquiry, as to your wherea
bouts, I was informed that you
were usually in bed at 7 1-2 o’clock.
Me. you ought to havo had a sten
ographer thtfro to take down my
speech. I made somo very good
points. 1 cfulic very near getting
caned the (jfher night myself by
my affect iomite ivife. I eamo liome
the other night at a late hour, and
found the front door locked. I eo' -
eluded 1 would slide up the win
dow and slip in. Mrs. Franklin
made out she thought 1 was a bur
glar and the lirst thing J know she
was making for me wi.h an old
grizzly hickory-fire stick. It was by
no means a gold headed ebony.
You ought to have heard mo giv
ing the countersign and you ought
to have heard the lecture that fol
lowed. She did’ut deal in many
high flown rhetorical phrases, but
a good many figures of sp, oeh.
There was several of that crowd
there last night, that wanted to ho
in Brother C’s place. Well may
be our timo will come around after
a while Me. to be presented with
‘a rope if not’ a stick. Did you
know we were having the nienshs
in our fumily, and they arc neither
tho french, black, nor little red
variety, but knowwas tho Toombs-
boro measles. They arc imported.
Expecting tho mumps every day.
Wnats become of the Health com
mittee? Me I don’t believe this
city dog law is constitutional, 1
wish you would write nil editorial
on this new departure* Have you
heard anything of our new Post
master recently. We’ll havo n
merry time when ho begins to han
dle tho nihil. I’ll bet ho semis
letters directed to Warlhen by the
way of Liverpool. Wo
suppose lie luisnot the remotest idea
where Lickskillet er Panhandle
are situated. Home folks arc
grieving and lamenting mightily
over bhipton’s world ending proph
esy, but as for my part, 1 think we
are getting in ship shape lor that
big blaze./* Me I havo tho greatest
respect for tho Bundursvillu & T.
R. It. It is managed by the clev
erest sort of officials. They have
•the cleverest Conductor in Ga.
But there is one tiling they are be
hind the times in. Every R. It. in
Ga. and some even in Florida have
given we Legislators free passes
for the whole year. But you bet GEORGIA, Washington Co.
get on our own county li. R. and
we have to shell out a quarter. 1
think it is only necessary to re
mind them of this fact. We
shall see.’’ I dont’ believo our
names were mentioned by the
Grand Jury presentments. This
is as it should he. Yours,
Randall Franklin.

PUBLIC ROADS.
It is gratifying to us to lie able to rc-
poit that the public loads in the county

BRIDGES.
The bridges, considering the number
of freshets we Imvo bad the past winter,
are in lair condition. Some of them
in c l immediate attention ; most nota
bly the bridge known as “Thompson’s
Bridge,” over Buffalo Creek. We roa-
ommend that May’s and Lake Bridge,

some repairs, and we authorize the Or-
linury to make such repairs as lie may
deem urgent and necessary.

There were entered 973 white males,
and 875 white females ; total, 1,845.

Then there will lie an insolvent lbt,nt
least as great as thatof the present year,
but we think a slight reduction in taxes
of last year will raise sufficient funds to
meet the demands of the county. We
therefore recommend to your body that
the taxes for county purposes be 05c. on
the $100, instead of 75c. as beietnfore.

In our investigation of this depart

proper to adopt and approve tins report,

IN MEMORIAL.
Sarah Duggan, sister to the v.ncrable
Asa Duggan lute deceased, was born in
Edgefield, North Carolina, February 14,
1801, inariiod at the age of 24 years to
Vmcent Tanner, joined Sisters Baptist
church about 1835, baptised at Brantley’s
old mill and died at her residence near
S indersvillc January 2d, 1881.
During her latter years she could not
meet nt the House ot God from Provi-p.
dential causes. A pleasure missed up-
S reciated alone by those who have seen
er countenance glow as she related
some reminiscence of joy and bappine. i,
experienced at the church.
On the 27tli day of August, 1770 she
was stricken by paralysis and for four
years and four months she was confined

to examine into the financial condition
of tho county, and tho books, account:,

the following report :
We find all the books of the several
officers of the couuty neatly and cor

es which will lie collected by the officers
wiio have, in hand the executions wlii*h
have, been levied ; also the Dixon tax,
which cannot he collected it being paid
in Hancock c lunty. Tho Errors in l)i-
;ost are numerous nud are generally
caused by parties giving in for others
a practice which should be stopped, it
being contrary to the spirit of tho law,
although it has been the custom, nud is
often the cause of much trouble.
Our able and efficient Ordinary hm
bis office in in excellent order, and it it
a model of neatness, system pervading
every portion. Ho has been of great
service to thin committee, and aided
litem very much in the discharge of tlieii
duties, and to him we, return our thanks
for his courtesy and kindness.
Respectfully submitted,
Horatio N. lloi.uriF.i.n,
Gkorok I). Waiitiien,
Thomas E. Brown,
Committee,
In accordance with tho suggestion in
the. above report, we recommend the
tlio Ordinary be authorized to levy ovei
and above the 50 per cent, which by
law lie is authorized to do on the S'nte
tax, the additional tax of of 47
each $100, or in oilier words a total of
05 cents oil the SU)0 for county purposes
This is a reduction of 10 cents on each
$100 from what it Inn been for a num
ber of years. It would have been grat
ifying topis to make a still greater re
duction but the court expenses and cure
of the poor require a large expenditure
which cannot Le safely reduced:
PAUPERS.
Through a eommitteo wo have exam
ined the Pauper Home, recently estab
lislu'd. Some buildings for the acecm
modatioii of t ie counties’ be.iieficiurb ■
have been erected, and others nr. now

vision of tho Ordinary, and doubtless
within next, few mouths such accommo
dations wi'l bo provided, nud such sys
tem and method will |,o adopted as will
reflect civdimbly upon the charitable

enabled her to soi
consequences of her prostrate condition
having already lived her three score and
ten years; she exhibited i.i her confine
ment and suffering a clici rtulness and
submission that could only have been
done by another who could say “thy
will bo done.”
We could record many culogiums up
on the triumphs of her virtues, Luther
monument that speaks for In r purity of
life has already been erected.
Many of her children and grand chil
dren members with us, honored and lov
ed, say more for her memory in attci 11-
tiou of her piety and prayers than the
most eloquent words of praise would in
the arehievesof our church.
And whereas God who ordereth all
tilings and for the best lias called her
hence, Be it therefore Reserved,

we fully believe that it was marked with
many evidences consistent with a pure
faith in Christ and feel assured of her
acceptance in lleavcn.
