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. Nov. 28th. 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. Nov. 27th. 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. Nov. 27th. 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. Nov. z8:h. Turin. ,, .. . .. ... .

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- >\ here some succeed, many fail.
