Ikying In Supplies on the Sly.
In the afternoon of yesterday a colored
customer, after investing his small-change
for groceries with Mr. J. 11. Hamilton,
thought he saw a chance to add to his
supply without paying for them, and ad
dressed himself to the accomplishment of
the scheme. He succeeded In conveying
to a barrel In his wagon a shoulder of
meat, and a 60 lb. sack of flour, and
thought he had it fixed—when Lo! a man
In grey appeared on the ground and dis
rupted the visions of fullness, and walked
this man, who would thus “provide for
his household” and who Is “no better
than a thief and a robber,” off to the
guard house.

Fy Your Taxes, Uenlleaien, and Hold
Tour Tempers.
Homo feeling of opposition to paying
the olty tax on stock sales, was shown
yesterday by dome traders at Mr. A.
Gammel’s stables, which came near
blooming into a full blown fight, but
which was mollified before It reached that
gory point. Tlm) City Marshal, howover,
was subjected to the necessity of putting
his official hands on one of the animals,
and sending him to another stable for his
future fodder. The matter will bo tested
In the courts, we understand, whether the
city has a right, under the constitution,
to tax such sales; and Messrs. M. H.
Bland ford and C. J. Thornton are employ
ed by tho traders to represent them.
Now, all of that Is wrong; taxes have
got to bo paid; and those of us who live
here, and who have to pay taxes aU the
time want as much outside help as we can
In justice demand. The city tax on every
thing Is high, oppressively high, bus, it Is
to pay interest on debts, and debts al
ready contracted, and there Is no vlslblo
way of avoiding tho pressure; unless wo
do as the man was recoommened to do, to
get rid of “nut gross”—“sell out and
leave.” But those gentleman from a dis
tance, are more favorably situated than
our citizens, for thoy neod not come here,
and shouhl not oomo here, to trade, If
they are not willing to abide by the rules
regulating their trade, In existence where
they come.
But, If getting hot and profatning a lit
tle, would holp them reduce the tax, or to
settle It altogether wo would sot blame
them for heating up, and we would get
hot too, and settle ours In the same way;
but It will do no good, so we repeat—fay
YOUR TAXES GENTLEMEN and SAVE YOUB

rpumory Warrant Case Before Judge
Williams.
Yesterday Judge Williams was called
upon to decide a case involving
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
From the testimony delivered In court
wo learn that the case stands thus;
General Phillips, recently deceased, left
to his heirs qulto a large estate. He was
also executor on the ostate of his
mother, Mrs. Dories. Mrs. Phillips deliv
orod to Mr. H. P. Moffett ten thousand
dollars of bonds, and ho deposited them
with tho Chattahoochee National Bank,
depositing them In his own name.
Mrs. Phillips demanded the possession,
and Mr. Moffett urged that the bonds de
livered to him, were tho bonds of Mrs.
Dories’ estate, and In no way connected
with Mrs. Phillips Interest.
The case was triod before Judgo Wil
liams and ho decided that tho writ was
properly brought, and that Mrs. Phillips
was entitled to the possassion of tho
bonds. Tho verdict was so rendered, and
thebonds wore turned over to Jakoßurrus
sheriff. It is understood tho case will be
appealed.

Home-Made Pelt cry.
Some wagons were in the city yester
day filled with home-made pottery for
various uses. Flower pots were In largo
numbers—which the ladies will soon want
If they can find out where to get them—
and jugs In abundance. The last named
ware can bo found without advertising, for
men who uso them always know whore
to find jugs. By the way, speaking of
pottery, wo saw some home-made clay
pipes the other day made of the earth on
the Cusseta road, and they were as hand
some as any wo evor saw. They were
smaller and loss presuming in aspect than
the elaborately carved and richly mount
ed plpos of commerce, but they are of
deeper brown, will smoke just as well,and
fit tho end of a reed stem much better.
Some enterprising man, with skill In
common pottery, eonld make a fortune in
a few years by working up some of this
fine clay not ton miles from Columbus.
Nearly all the jug ware wo get here, is
from the upper counties of Alabama, and
hauled fifty miles and upwards.
