Equalize Taxes.
South Georgia will be the richest,
farming section of the Southeast
when she is developed; we think
there is verv little doubt about
this proposition being true, and ;
the question is when and how will
she be fully developed.
We do not believe that she will '
ever reach hei greatest develop
ment as long as there are aB many
large bodies of land in the hands
of single individuals
The man who owns a small farm
of say fifty to one hundred acres
will either make a good thriftv
citizen or will lose out to some one
who will; a man on that amount
of land can make a good living
for himself and family but to do
so he must be a developer.
As long a6 taxes on our lands
are assessed at about one-fifth of
its value the wealthy land lords
will keep their holdings intact but
when a proper tax is assessed
against them they will not care to
hold more land than they will de
velope selling off the surplus to
smaller farmers.
A man who owns city real es
tate has to pay a tax commen
suate with the sale value of his
property and we think it entirely
proper that this rule apply to
country real estate . Equalize these
taxes. —Ex.
The Practical Joker.
Methonght I’d seat me in my
chair, and fall into a study brown
but some blamed aleck standing
there withdrew the chair as I sat
down. And so I sat upon the
floor and broke two boards and
eke my spine; and even as I write
I’m sore, and vengeful thoughts
and dreams are mine. I weigh
three-quarters of a ton, and when
I’m down I can’t get up; a joke
like that seems mcasley fun, and
it with sorrow fills my cup. I do
not like these dizzy jests which
cause some fellow mortal pain,
and stir up anger in their breasts,
and make them act as though in
sane. The man who cannot see a
joke, who cannot spring a sunny
smile, unless some fellow’s slats
are broken —his sense of humor's
out of style. Because I’m like a
load of hay, and can’t get up
when lam down, I am the fall
guy every day for all the alecks in
the town. I think the correspond
ence schools should start a new
and useful grind, and teach new
folly to the fools—some harmless
and denatured kind.—George Mat
thew Adams.
