County News Items Interesting Facts Gathered During the Week by Our Regular Correspondents. \ TURIN. During this period of Btress creditors holding mortgages or executions should not force property to sale, if this course can by any means be avoided. Property of every kind is scarcely mar ketable now, and if put up at forced sale will not bring one-half its real value. This is a serious matter with many people— particularly farmers, but few of whom can realize enough from the sale of cotton to pay their debts. Let us be patient and forbearing one toward another, and all will be better off when the present crisis has passed. We are of the opinion also that the time for paying State and county taxes should be extended. Many of the farmers have not yet disposed of their cotton, and have no money with which to pay taxes or other obligations, while to sell their holdings at present prices simply means ruin. The State and county cannot be in sorer financial straits than are the people themselves. The truth is, there are altogether too many subjects for taxation anyway. Considering the execrable condition of the public roads in some sections of the county a great many people deem the imposition of a road tax as a hardship from which they Hhould be relieved— especially in such times us we are now passing through. Roads are sadly in need of work in many places, not to speak of the unsafe condition of bridges at various crossings.

A girl who is gifted with that esti mable virtue that we call tact will often obtain her own way by apparently yielding in the prettiest manner possi ble. She seems to lay down her arms at the first demand to surrender that is made her. Yet really she is but re treating in order to advance the more surely later on. Over unimportant points it is prudent to give way, then when it is a question of a really Berious matter one can come to the attack with renewed vigor; no strength has been lost in petty squabbling or disputing. Those who give way graciously in tirfles usually command attention in great things. The love that is gained by this sweet submission serves to win approval for us when we wish to make requests of a more serious nature. Save your ammunition, therefore, for the big things of life, and waste no time or strength upon trying to get your own way in small things and thereby irritating others unnecessarily and prejudicing them against you.

On Feb. 24, 1848, when Paris was disturbed by tbe revolutionary mob, a Captain Prebois was seut by the government with orders to be de livered to the leaders ol the troops that were defending tbe threatened points In various parts of the city. It was a dangerous undertaking, for the bitterness of tbe people against the government was Intense. Before starting out Captain Prebois was warned to take the greatest care If be valued Ills life, but be took tbe warnings lightly and said: "If you fel lows knew my black horse ns well as l know him you wouldn’t worry about me. That horse has carried me through thick ami thin." The black horse of which the gallant captain was so proud was Indeed a beautiful animal. Blit there was some thing very extraordinary about his tail. It was long and bushy, but It never moved or twitched, except with the movement of tin* animal's body. , When Prebois arrived In tbe disturb ed section of the city he fearlessly de livered his' message. He met with no resistance from the crowds In the streets until he reached the Place Ven- dome. Here a great crowd of revolu tionists had gathered. One seized the bridle and cried In a fierce voice: “Hold: What message are you carry ing?" The captain refused to answer. "Put a bullet through him and get that mes sage!" bawled out the man iu a com manding voice. He was evidently a leader of the mob. At this point the captain determined that quick action alone would save him from violence at the hands of the crowd. Quick as a Hash he wheeled his horse and dashed off. Several bul lets flow after him, but they went wild and then suddenly erased altogether. I He looked round and saw the mob ! crowding round one of their number, | who held si •■meriting in his hand. And ! then Ills eyes fell on tbe back of his ; horse and Ids heart sank in dismay. It seems that as he whirled his horse about several men seized hold of the | animal.
