Mobile and Llrani Kallruad Convention
There will be a Convention of the Stock
holders of the Mobile and Girard Railroad
Company this morning, at the depot In
Girard, at 9 o.cloek. See notice that a
trniu will be in readiness at Broad street
shed at 8:45 o'clock, to carry over and
bring back such stockholders ns will at
tend. The meeting will bo an Important
one, and there should be a full attendance.
The question to be determined Is shall
the Mobile and Girard Railroad issue new
tends, bearing 4 per cent. Interest in lieu
of their part due indebtedness upon
which they arc now paying 8 per cent.
Tlie proposition seems callable of only one
decision, but the stockholders should be
sure it docs not fail of acceptance for want
of a legal quorum.
The Central Railroad Cos. does not rate
the stock they hold In trust and therefore
a larger numbor of private stock will be
required. If the liberal arrangement pro
posed, Is carried it will make a saving to
the company of some 30 per cent, upon its
present Interest account,which it Is impos
sible to now meet, but under the redac
tion will most probably be done, and thus
save tho road from bankruptcy.

Picnic excursions have commenced in
earnest; this we know from tho amount
of job printing which oomes into this of
flee’and the post bills which are being
posted on every corner and thrown Into
every store. Like the shows in the winter
season, tho picnics take all our space,
tlmo and money during tho spring and
summer.
Tho Ist week of May, which isgcnorally
a holiday with the schools, is at present
the appointed time for four grand picnics;
two for the benetlt and pleasure of the
whites and two for the colored folks.
During that looked-for week. Lover’s
Leap, Appier’s Woods, Beallwood and
Wynnton schoolhouses will as heretofore
hold their full and merry throng of happy
faces bent upon all the gaiety which the
spring time brings. The two little female
baseball ciubs will then drop their bat
and ball, and carry between them and
their sweethearts, along through the
shady woods, the well-filled dinner bas*
ketsor putting them down, trip the light
fantastic on the green sward. The first
week of May promises much pleasure to
the young folks, and they will certainly
take advantage of it.

Russell county met on Monday. Hon. J.
K. Cobb presiding with his usaual dignity,
and dlsputchlng the busluess of the court
to the satlslsfaution of the citizens of the
couoty, and especially the planters; but
few of whom have been In attendance
upon court, as the weather Is better for
ploughing than litigating— and In conetd.
eratlon of said fact, the Judge has had
but fifteen Jurors empannelcd for this
week, and I learn that the court will prob
ably get through with the civil buslnoss
to-morrow or next day. A number of
eases have been continued and a few dis
missed and several trlod. I am glad to
loam that there are but few Important
cases upon the Civil Docket, and but few
upon the Criminal Docket, or to be
brought before the Grand Jury this term
of the court; the Mrs. Lyon and Moinlka
case being the most Important, which will
be brought up next week.

J. D. Rambo, Esq., of Columbus was ad

day.
Tho Grand and Petit Juries are com
posed of some of the best citizens of
tho county, and the Grand Jury
are diligently working to bring of
fenders to justioo, and looking after the
interests of tho county. By the way, a
laughable little circumstance occurred in
the Grand Jury room to-day: A negro
woman was called to testity before that
honorable body, and after she was sworn
in and gave her evidence, sho was cau
tioned not to “speak out In meeting," or
In other words, that she must not tell any
one what she had sworn to, when she re
marked that “she had been trying all her
life to koep out of that room, and ever
slnoe sho was grown she had kept out of
bad company until now.” Rather an
equivoeul compliment.
The merchants have had a good trade
the past season, and some of them are
still doing a good business In turning out
corn and meat (oh! that our smoke-houses
and corn-cribs were a little nearer home).
Several of the merchants have large and
varied stocks, large and well filled 6tores
for a country town. I had the pleasure of
looking through the stocks f Messrs. H.
Hirsch A Bros, formor residents of Co
lumbus, D. W. Ingram, Ben Jennings,
R. Margolius, L. R. Edge, Matt. J. Jones,
and tho neat little drug store of Mr.
Marsh Henry. I was surprised to find
such a large and well assorted stock of
goods here, and can but think that it
speaks well for tho future prospects of
the town. I found with Mr. D. W. In
gram, our good friend Judge W. A. Far
ley, formerly of Ohattahooohee county,
who seemed well pleased with his change
of residence, and is regarded by all the
good citizens here as quite an accession
to the place.
There are threeexcellent boarding houses
now open here, where the weary traveler
or Bojourner may rest and find comfort
and fare, equal, if not superior, to that of
the large hotels in the great cities. Two
of them are kept by Mr. Marsh Henry and
lady, and Dr. 0. L. Williams and lady;
tho other by Mrs. Strong. lam stopping
with Dr. and Mrs. Williams, both former
ly of Harris county, 44a., and I can truly
say that their house should be called the
“Traveler’s Rest," for I have not found in
in all my travels a table more bountifully
supplied with better cooked or more sub
stantial and delicious food, and more com
fortable rooms or cleaner beds upon which
to rest the weary head. I am satisfied
that these ladies know how to keep hotel.
I had the ploasure of meeting Mr. Glenn
of the Russell Register, who speaks en
couragingly of the prospects of the paper
but would not object to a few more adver
tisements and subscribers.
Gardens are looking well. Some farm
ers say that they have a good stand of
corn; others that It has been standing still;
nights have been too cool. I think that
most of the farmors have planted largely
of grain, but I fear that too many of them
will make the usual ruistako and plant too
much eotton.
I find that tho Times has many warm
friends in this county, and lam under
obligations for oourtesles to Mr. W. A. B.
Faulkner, Clerk of the Circuit Court, Mr.
Hart Perry, Sheriff and A. H. Burch,

Good Advice.
Now is the time of year for Pneumonia,
Lung: Fever, &c. Every family should
have a bottle of Bosehee’s German Syrup.
Don’t allow for one moment that cough to
take hold of your child, your family or
yourself. Consumption, Asthma, Pneu
monia, Croup. Heraorrh tges, and other
fatal diseases may set in. Although it is
true German Syrup is curing thousands
of these dreaded diseases, yet it is much
better to have it at hand when three do
ses will cure you. One bottle will last
your whole family a winter and keep you
safe from danger. If you are consump
tive, do not reet until you have tried this
remedy. Sample bottles 10 cents. Reg
ular size 75 cents. Sold by your Drug
gist.

SPECIAL CIRCULAR.
To Tax Receivers of Muscogee Ga.:
THE folllowing Sections of the Code.to be found
on pages 20 aud 21 o t your Pamphlet of In
structions, are so very important that I give them
iu tnis special form lor jour careful attention
I will expect every Tax Receiver to do what the
law and his oath requires, and see that every tax
payer returns his or her property at its true
value; not what said property would bring at
public out-cry, but what the property is worth.
It has been estimated that the property ol
Georgia is not returned at one-half its true value
This is wrong and should not be allowed. The
honest men pay nearly ad the tax and many pay
but little because they return but little of what
they have. Mauy men return only about oue
fourth or one fifth of what they own. Make all
return their properly at its true value aud
then the burden of TAXATION will iall on all
equally.
FROM THE CODE OF GEORGIA.
g 8 (9 - (836.) In case 0/ r atgp rftum, Tax Receiver
to assess value. Each return shall be scruti
nized carefully by the Tax Receiver, and if in his
judgment he shall find the property embraced iu
the return, or any portion of it, returned below
its value, he shall assess the value at ouce, or
within thirty days therealter.
8840. (836.) Subsequent proceedings. If such as
sessment is not mads by tue Receiver iustanter,
he shall give the tax payer notice of his assess
ment, and in either case it shall be the tax pay
er's privilege to have it left to three disinteres
ted persons, oue of whom he shall select, the
other shall be selected by the Receiver .ami tb* se
two shall select a third; il they disagree, a major
ity of whom shall fix ihu asseasmeut.
8841. (837.) Property returned below its value.
It is the privilege of any tax payer of the county
where a return is made lo complain to the Re
ceiver at any time Before the Digest is complet< and
that any return is below the true value of the
property; in which, case he shall notify the person
who made the return complained of. if practica
ble, verbally tr by writing, giving huntne name
of complainant and the ground of complaint, aud
shall proceed to have anew assessment iu
terms of the preceding section.
8842. (338.) Oath of asse&ors. Whenever such
assessors are called in, they shall take an oath
before the Receiver to do justice between the
parties at variance, touching the true assessment
of the tax return.
§843. (839.) Defaulting tax payer, how relieved.
When a tax payer has been returned as a default
er aud double taxed, either by the Receiver or
Collector, the Ordinary is authorized to relieve
the defaulter of the penalty for default at the time
said Ordinary allows the Collector his insolvent
lists: Provided, That said tax payer shows to
sncli Ordinary by satisfactory evidence, that
eitner providential or other good cause be had
not an opportunity to make his return to the Re
ceiver of tax returns, and at the time oi such re
lease promptly pays his proper tax, aud one dol
lar to the collector as his fee, the Collector shall
promptly inform the Comptroller General of such
release, and the amount ot taxes paid.
§844. (840.) Defaulters, how relieved from double
tax. All d(Haulterß may at any time, aud fer the
same causes, before the Digest is made up and
ready to be sent to the Comptroller, save the
doable tax by likewise giving in to the Ordinary,
aud paying him one dollar, who shall give a copy
of such returns instanter to the Receiver,and he
shall enter it in the several Digests.
§845. (841.) Defaulter's Oath. The Ordinary,
in the cases set f'>rth -in sections 843 and 844.
shall require the tax payer to swear to the canse
of his delay, and shall state the same in the cop
ies furbished the Gimptroller or Receiver.
Hoping and believing you will do your full
duty iu this important matter,
I am yours respectfully,
W. L. GOLDSMITH,
Comptroller General.
