1 Saltan XVxguau ■wuk. -- : ; H. A. MKKNt'H, I'.ditor and Proprietor. SATCRDAY, DEC EMBER 9, 1882 Thk I Detroit Free Press gives Georgia the palm for fish lying. Guess they nev heard an East Tennesse loan. A Chattanooga fellow was sent to the , chain gang for tickling his girls foot. Some girls are awfully sensitive. The Georgia 'egislature kicks against foreign money being loaned to our farm- | • rs. If this is arcadian simplicity we seek a rest on it. Senator Brown says he is indifferent ah ut the state's accepting his gift. If | Georgia won’t have it he will give it to South Carolina. M ekd liad better have let his Morgan affidavit die with him. Free Masonry has done more good than any’ other hu man institution. At.t. Judges and Solicitors should be appointed by the Governor ami not elec ted by the legislature. An election by the people would be better than the preaeut method. JvnoK Underwood says the newspa pers are unkind in their allusions to the tariff commission. Wha* does the Judge Curt ’eng as he draws a big salary and bis skin retains its rhinocerous tough ness.—Evening Herald. Though the House of Representatives cut down the appropriation for the Deaf and Dumb Institute to slfi,ooo, there is a separate bill pending for additional ap propriations tor the Institute, and it may pass, but probably net before the July session. Thk Atlanta Evening Herald of Fri day says it is whispered that favored prominent lawyers and politicians re siding in different sections of the State will aid the foreign bondholders in en deavoring to secure the payment of the bogus Bullock bonds. Judge Loch rane will probably lead the movement. The postmaster general has recently decided that canned meats may be ad mitted to the mails as fourth class mat ter. Postmasters now will be requested to see if there is any canned beef, canned fish, canned chicken or letters or papers for the person calling at the office for the mail. — Herald. Georgia Taxes. The house, after passing the deficien cy appropriation bill, took up the gen eral tax book for the fiscal years 1883 and 1884, ami passed in the committee of the whole upon the first section ami most of the paragraphs of the section, flic general advalorem tax proposed by the Finance Committee was adopted. It authorizes the Governor and Comp troller General to levy a tax not ex ceeding two ami one-half tenths of one per cent, on the taxable property of the State for each of the two years. This w ill be a tax of only twenty-five cents upon the hundred dollars, or two dol lars and fifty cents upon the thousand. Ihe poll tax of one dollar for educa tional purpose w’as retainer!. It ap plies to all males between the ages of twenty-one and sixty year. But there is a separate bill excepting from this tnx soldiers disabled by tlx* loss of a limb in the Confederate service. A new feature of the bill is an amendment offered by Mr. Jordan, and adopted in committee of the whole, imposing a tax of SIOO per an num upon each vender upon railroad cars in this Stale of any literature ex cept daily and religious papers. Other weekly papers besides religious would not be excepted by this amendment. Other special taxes are about the same as at present. Flow of Population South. The Baltimore Journal o' Commerce calls attention to the fact that the sale of Government lands in the Southern States is assuming large proportions. Os the 8,650,219 acres sold in 1879 there were 481,174, or 56 per cent, of the whole, located in Arkansas, Louisi ana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, the only Southern States in which the Government still owns lands. In 1880 the total sales amounted to 9,166,918 acres, 996,815 acres or 10.9 percent., be ing in the South. The total sales in 1881 reached 10,759,107acre5,0f which 1,517,- 126, 14.1 per rent.! were in the States earned. In the year ended June 30, ISB2 total sales were 15,699.849 acres, and tin- -.d. • : n States had >n .o to 1.355,764 acres, or 15 percent, of the whole, hi three years the sales in the South have increased nearly five fold. Part ot these purchases are doubt less speculative, hut another ami a large part are due to the large flow Southward of people migrating from the North in recent years.

Ihe b rnnklin New s gives the following facts connected with the liquor traffic of I franklin for the encouragement of ef | forts at prohibition : “First, that for five years preceding the dosing of the licen sed saloons here there occurred within the corporate limits every year one or more homicides, or assaults with intent to murder, Second, that of eight persons I who engaged in the traffic here within I that time, one was killed by a young ; man under the influence of liquor, three tied die country to avoid prosecution, ' two closed out at a loss, one abandoned the business for m >re reputable pur- ’ suits, and one continues it at another lo [ cation. Third, that since the prohibi tion act went into operation. more than six years ago, although the law has been violated almost habitually by persons who value money more highly than they do the peace, good order and safety of society, yet there has not been within tin 1 corporate limits a single homicide, and but two or three cases ol assailll and battery, none of which led to indict- I mer.t.” I'o bb beautiful, buoyant an<i healthy the whole female constitution -Tnus> maintain regular act ion during a certain period of life.

I'hey had prodeeded as far as Flat Shoals si L.ioi house when night overtook them. I’liey decided to spend the night there, and laid themselves on the seats.

The* owner assures us that the cow is one hundred years old, ami is now giving milk. When we men tioned the improbability—in fact, the al most impossibility —of his cow being one hundred years obi, the gentleman assur ed us that she had belonged to his grand parents, great grand parents and other ancestors, and that there is no doubt that the cow is one hundred years of age. We can say for the ow ner of the cow—the gentleman who makes the statement—that he is one of our most es- ' teemed citizens, one not accustomed to ' exaggerate, ami whose w< rd has never [ been doubted. The gentleman is fifty | years of age, and is a member of one ol the old and noted families of the State.” ' I'hat is a pretty stiff cow tale.
