May 26. 8t
Tax Receiver Miuer was here
Thursday, winding up his last
j round in taking in tax returns.
He told us that the consolidated
i returns would show a large de
crease in values (probably as much
a« $100,000) over last year. In
asmuch as there is no excuse for
such shrinkage, except the “tax
dodger,” the next grand jury will
he asked to thoroughly investigate
the returns and raise values where
they think it necessary. Two
glaring Distances of under-valua
tioli have already come to our
notice, one concern returning prop
erty to the value of only $2,000,
whereas the proprietor admitted
that he had pot SIO,OOO worth of
improvements on it. Another
makes a return of less than one
fourth the value of hiß extensive
manufacturing plant. As soon
as the returns are consolidated the
News-Herald will call attention to
these, and other glaring underval
uations, so that the grand jurors
may see how the tax dodger is
getting in his work. These under
valuations are invariably made by
men amply able to pay their just
proportion of taxes, while the
small tax payer returns his hold
ings at about its market value. It
is the duty of the graud jury to
correct these irregularities and
abuses, and if that duty is per
formed at the next term of the
Superior court the digest of Gwin
nett instead of showing a decrease
of SIOO,OOO will show an increase
of at least a quarter of a million
dollars over last year.

SPECIAL EDITION.
The News-Herald to Issue An
Illustrated Edition,
Presenting the Resources of I oganville
and Adjacent Territory.
On Friday, July 21st, The News-
Herald will issue a special mid
summer illustrated edition for the
benefit of the growing and wide
awake little city of Loganville and
the territory adjacent.
The edition will consist of 2,500
copies, and will contain handsome
half-toue portraits of some of the
residences of Loganville, the busi
ness men of the place, and the im
mense deposits of granite at Ben
nett’s Mill, and also the quarry
belonging to J. P. Rock more in
the corporate limits of Loganville.
Mr. Homer C. George, of Lo
ganville, has been assigned to the
task of getting up the data for
this special edition, also to solicit
and make contracts for adver
tising, No displayed advertise
ments will be accepted, but “write
ups” of the individual businesses
of the city, together with portraits
of the business men, are solicited.
Mr. George will be pleased to write
up every busiuess man in the
place, for which only a nominal
charge will be made.
The edition is calculated to be
of great benefit to Loganville’s fu
ture growth, and every business
man and property owner in the
little city should give it support.
The Qoat Bleats.
It is now claimed that Gwinnett
county will get a large strip of
Walton county on account of the
new survey now being made, and
that this new acquisition will in
clude the growing town of Logan
ville. If this bo true it is unfort
unate for Walton county that it
stirred up the matter and caused
the survey to be made.—Winder
Economist.
The plight that our sister coun
ty of Walton finds herself in over
this survey reminds us of a goat
story.
The goat was a vicious animal,
and never let an opportunity es
cape to show off his butting pro
clivities. A stranger passing by
espied the goat and the goat es
pied the stranger. “Billy” de
cided ho could have some fun out
of the stranger by a closer ac-
quaintance, so he lowered his
head, shook his beard and started
for the man with blood in his eye.
A near-by tree afforded a place of
refuge to the stranger, but the
goat came bounding o ft so swiftly
that he had no time to climb to
its friendly branches. All he
could do was to run round the
tree, with the goat in close pur
suit. In his revolutions, however,
he had managed to pick up a keen
hickory switch, and when he
found he was gaining on his pug
nacious enemy his heart leaped
with joy. By and bye he was
close enough to give the .goat a
keen cut across the Banks. The
goat gave a bleat of pain and sur
prise, but the stranger had no
mercy on him. He kept laying
on the lashes with great enthusi
asm, while the goat made the wel
kin ring with his cries. “0,d —n
you, you began this thing, and
now I am going to finish it!” was
all the consolation the goat got
out of the stranger as he submit
ted to the unmerciful flogging he
was receiving.
Gwinnett never began this sur
vey, but now that it has been
commenced she is going to see
that Jit is finished. “Survey to
the line; let the chips fall whore
they may.”
Orasshoppsrs Attack the Crops.
Loganville. Ga., June s. —The
grasshopper plague has struck
some of the farms of the surround
ing country in full force and is
playing havoc with the crops.
They strike in big droves of thous
ands upon thousands, eating the
corn and cotton in a most ravish
ing manner.
E. R. Floyd, one of the largest!
planters in the country, who re
sides here, in speaking of the!
grasshoppers said:
“I have never in my life seen so
many of the insects, and they are
just simply eating up my corn
crop in my large bottom land.
They are in droves of thousands.
When I first noticed them they
were eating the roots, but now
they are eating thb blades and
stalks of the corn. If I cannot
drive them out and burn them
soon my crop will be entirely gone.
I have been drowning some by
driving them into the creeks, but
only a few.”
Other farmers speak along the
same line as Mr. Floyd and efforts
will be made to drive the insects
in woods and set fire to them at
once, thus exterminating them
LEAVE NOTHING BCT BAKE STALKS.
Dawson, Ga., June s. —Farmers
report a grasshopper plague in the
eastern part of Terrell county. It
is said that millions of these pests
have appeared in that section and
are greatly damaging crops. They
attack corn and cotton and leave
nothing except the bare stalks.
Tvro Bright Little Girls.
Misses Luella and Julia Brand,
daughters of Col. C. H. Brand, re
turned from Athens last week
where they have been attending
the select privete school of Mrs.
Crawford for the past year.
At the commencement exercises
Miss Luella carried off the im
provement medal, also the prize
for vocal music.
Miss Julia carried off the penn
manship prize, though the young
est of her class, being only 11
years old. She writes a beautiful
hand, as even and perfect as
script, her talent in that .direction
being almost phenominal.
Both little girls are as bright as
new gold dollars, and are making
rapid progress in their studies. Gs
course their farher feels proud of
them, as does indeed all Lawrence
ville.
