CARRIAGE AND BUGGY WORKS.
We are now prepared to do all kinds of Carriage
Buggy and Wagon work, and in a style that cannot be
excelled in the State, or anywhere else. Our work
men are skillful and efficient; our material the best
that money will buy; our equipment thorough and
complete in every department. In fact, we have spar
ed neither pains nor expense in preparing for the bus
iness, and our facilities for doing work in this line are
first-class in every respect.
We have on hand the finest lot of material ever put into buggy or carriage work in this
section of the State, and workmen that know exactly how to put it together. We do nol
get our vehicles “knocked down,” from the North, as many other manufacturing firms do, but
make them out and c it. This is our strongest recommendation. We manufacture—
CARRIAGES, PHAETONS,
LANDEAUS, HEARSES.
ROAD-CARTS, BUGGIES,
SULKEYS, WAGONS ETC.
We are also prepared to do all kinds of carriage, buggy and wagon repair work, in the
best style and at the lowest prices. Plantation work and horse-shoeing a specialty.
Give us your work ; we guarantee satisfaction.
J. S. WARE, (late with Summers & Murphy, Barnesville,) Superintendent
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Senola.
Mr. Editor:—We cannot help feeling
somewhat exercised on the tax question
—that'is, does every tax payer pay ac
cording to the real value of his proper
ty ? will presume just here that an
examination of the tax digest of the
county would furnish no small amount
of interesting reading matter, in this if
no more: the wide diversity of esti
mates of value of like property owned
by different parties. For instance, A
owns 200 acres of land, good improve
ments and well supplied with stock.
His neighbor, B, has 200 acres lying side
by side with A, well improved, good
stock, etc. The two seem to be about
equal in their worldly circumstances.
A returns his property to the Tax Re
ceiver as being worth so much; B re
turns his at from 25 to 50 per cent, less,
How is this? Just the difference in the
judgment of the two men, is it? Sup
pose somebody wanted to buy the land
of B, would he be governed by his scale
of values as returned to the Receiver ?
Would there not be a boom iu his prop
erty values? We set up A and B as
representative men. Upon which of
these two does the burden of taxation
bear most heavily ?;To ask the question
is to answer it. If B buys a mule for
$100, should he not pay tax on the mule
at that valuation ? Why say to the Re
ceiver t(iat the mule was worth only
$50 or $75? A and B need not be neigh
bors;—it is the principle that we are
pointing out. Reader, how do you look
at it ? Tax assessors have wrought, in
some places, wonderful changes in prop
erty values.
The ladies of the Missionary and Be
nevolent Society of the Baptist church
expect to give an oyster supper in con
nection with a Leap Year party at the
Excelsior Academy next Tuesday even
ing, December 4th. Among the inter
esting features of the occasion will be a
“chewing gum drill” by several young
ladies, and being a novelty will make it
very interesting. A large audience is
expected. Our own curiosity may be
on tip-toe by that time to witness this
feminine performance. We are tolera
bly well versed in some species of fem
inine drills, the novelty of which has
been worn off somewhat, but we arc-
curious about this artful arrangement,
There is always something to be learn
ed.
A negro woman living on the farm of
Judge B. F. Cock had a large fire in
her housA last Saturday morning, and
left her little child in the house while:
she went to see a neighbor. During her
absence the clothing of the child
caught fire and was so badly burned
that it died about noon—the result of
parental negligence.
We have noticed recently several
newspaper accounts of accidents to lit
tle boys from handling fire-arms. It
is common to see little boys with a gun
on their shoulders about twice their
length, going to the fields or swamps in
quest of game. It was not so when we
were a boy. Are boys less valuable now
than thej' were then ?
We were glad to meet on our streets
yesterday Capt. J. E. Stallings, of Tem
ple, Texas. He is looking very well.
It is interesting to hear him speak of
Mamie Bobo and Mrs. Dr. Speer kept
their places for some time after the
others had taken their seats; but after
several rounds, Mr. Nall was declared
the victor. Iu a very graceful and
pleasing style Judge Speer presented
the prizes to their respective owners,
Mr. Nall rece iving a beautiful bouquet
and Col. Post a tin cup.
Prof. Nall’s school closed last Friday.
We learn he will teach at Rockford,*
Ala., next year. Our best wishes will
follow him to his new field of labor.
Amongst the visitors at the selling
bee we noticed the Misses Burk, of
Bainbridge, who are visiting relatives
near town.
Mr. S. Y. Carpenter attended the
“bee” here on last Tuesday evening.
Judge A. M. Speer, of Madison, has
been on a visit to his son, Dr. Speer,
this week.
Prof. W. M. Robinson, of Franklin,
has been elected principal of the Grant-
ville nigh School, and we understand
the catalogue for the new term will be
forthcoming at an early day.
Dr. Chaney preached at the Baptist
church here last Sunday, both in the
morning and at night.
Rev. J. R. Parker will leave for Mil-
ledgeville next Monday, to attend the
session of the North Georgia Confer
ence. P. A.

and churches you will surely help your
town.
A litilemore scattering cotton to pick
and the farmers will be through with
the year’s crop. The crop has afforded
but small remuneration for the labor
expended, while the ghost of debt still
remains to haunt them, both iu their
sleeping and waking hours. Hideous
form, avaunt!—,get thee gouc! Ah, if it
but would !
No sickness to report, except the se-
ious illness of Aaron Echols, colored,
who will soon be beyond all earthly
want.
A few hogs have been slaughtered
during the cold spell.
Mr. Win. Gay and Capt. Hicks left
last Monday for North Alabama,
whither they go to view the landscape
o’er. R. A. T.

Palmetto.
Mr. Editor:—Hog-killing has been
in order in Palmetto this week. Some
very fine ones have been slaughtered.
W. W. Floyd killed two which weighed
345 and 325 pounds*respectively. E. B.
Hearn killed one whose weight netted
318 pounds. C. II. Killian’s two pigs
were one year aud six days old when
killed, and the two netted 940 pounds.
E. L. Jackson killed oue that weighed
275 pounds, and Mrs. McGhee two that
weighed 550 pounds. These weights
are all net. C. T. Lyndon had the
champion porker. It was sixteen
months old and netted 64 pounds. This
was of the Bantam breed. As space is
an object in towns, this breed should
be more generally raised. A dozen 01
so of them can be put in one pen. To
day J. F. Ellington killed two hog-
weighing 304 and 282 pounds respect
ively,^. J. Givins one. 288 pounds; J
N. Robinson one, 350. It is estimated
that 15,000 pounds olpork will be kill
ed inside of the corporate limits of Pal
metto this season.
Mrs. John Thompson, who has been
quite sick for about eight weeks with
typhoid fever, is still very low. Her
condition is critical.
Rev. James E. England preached hi*
last sermon at this place last Sunday.
Mr. England has made many friends
here, and he will be heartily welcomed
should Conference return him to th s
work. Should lie not return, the friend
ship and good wishes of the whole com
munity will follow him (o his new field
of labor.
The “Willie Roberts Missionary So
ciety” will build a missionary ship at
the M. E. Church on Friday evening.
It will doubtless be a very pleasant en
tertainment. Nemo.

Haralson.
Mr. Editor:—The primary election
passed (>ff quietly here, and we expect
ed to hear all the facts through Tnit
Herald and Advertiser last Satur
day, but were sorely disappointed
when the package failed to arrive.
11 we farmers could dispose of our
debts as easily as the voters can dis
pose of candidates we would be a hap
py people; but alas! it takes money to
pay debts, and that is a scarce article
around here, and will be until another
crop of cotton can be harvested. Poor
farmers! th^y need the pity and sympa
thies of the whole world. Sweat and
freeze to make a little money, handle
it a minute or two, and then pass it
over to their creditors.
The Messrs. Camp have employed
Mr. Florence Hodnett to look after
their immense farming interests near
here for t he coming year. They are for
tunate in securing the services of so
capable a superintendent as Mr. II.
Dr. S. B. Cousins has resigned the
charge of Haralson Baptist Church and
goes to another field 0/ labor—Hollori-
viile, (Flint River Association.) Both
the clmrch and the people regret very
much to give him up. The church last
Saturday made a wise choice in select
ing Rev. Y. A. Ilam, of Sharps burg, for
pastor next year. Like Bro. Cousins, to
know him is to love him.
Dr. Fogg, of Barnesville, spent last
Saturday in our “burg,” making teeth.
Miss Clara Williams is spending this
week at Hollonville.
Mis Nannie ITarrison, of Line Creek
district, (the banner Democratic district
of Spalding,) is spending this week in
our “burg,” the guest of ner aunt, Mrs.
B. W. Williams.
Mrs. f>r. R. H. Taylor, of Griffin, is
the guest of I>r. J. r. Taylor and fami
ly this week. Bradley.

correspondent had the privilege of in-
! specting the elegant silk quilt voted to
the popular and successful contestant
at the drawing held there recently, an
account of which has already appeared
many I in your columns. It is indeed a hand-
state. One we noted specially, and
that is, any man here who has a home
and is making a living would do well to
stay where he is;—not but that there
are men who go to Texas and make a
success of business; but, like
places here and elsewhere, business and
some and finished piece of work, and
professions there are overcrowded. ; , . . ,
when we consider the praiseworthv ob-

a good one—especially in Georgia.
