That $4,000. -
Mr. W. E. Kay inarms us that wo
£ ade a slight error ip our figures yes
rday about the Oglethorpe. The
$4,000 paid into the treasury is not
clear gain as we stated, from the fact
that $8,500 wore borrowed at the
start to purchase sqpplics and pay
running expenses. This $4,000 goes
to pay back part * of .this borrowed
money. Whilst this puts a .new
phase on to the affair and changes
the bank account somewhat, it really
makes a better shoVi,ng for the hotel
than our version of yesterday, for it
shows wbat a volume of business, it
is now doing, in that since it has
commenced paying expenses, (prob
ably a little over one month) it
should be able to pay back $4,000 of
money borrowed at the start.
For Rent—One 6 room house. Ap

Attention* Tax Payers.
Parties who may bo behind on their
State and county tffcceB for 1887, and
who have had to settle same with the
Sheriff and Constable, will bear in
mind that their poll tax belongs to
the schools, and that the law re
quires a separate tax fi fa to bo made
out and served for these. These have
been made out by the Tax Collector
and turnfed over by him to the Coun
ty School Commissioner, who will
have same served on these delin
quents. We make this explanation
at the request of Collector Read so
that the people may understand.

*NotVery Consistent.
Two little darkeys dropped into
Mr. Lott’s store last Monday begging
for a certain colored church in town.
Failing to get what they asked for,
they strolled back to the rear end of
the store, and quietly filled their
pockets with apples. They were
caught and made to pay for what
they had stolen. It would seem as
though these chaps were hardly fit
subjects for church begging.

Two weeks ago Blancshear was

all over the U. S., wherofer the news
of tho late fearful wreck ijfmiles from
here has gone;. and their passengers
who survived on.thos ill fated train,
and the newspaper accdunts of the
accident, have all added their voices
to tell to tho world of tbpnoble deeds
done by the self sacrlflcft g men and
women of Blacksliear. Ain all Ages
and all timed thfi good ecds of he
roic men and women ha\$ been sung
and written of by bardiw and poets
and now one more thei has been
added to the list. Would that! had
the pen and tho words o?a poet, that
I might tell in flowing ‘words that
should go sounding dow i the ages
of the deeds of Mrs. A. ; M. .Moore,

ering gloom, carefully washed the
pale faces of those who had so sud
denly ushered into etcinny, and pro*
pared them for their last ride, many
of. these heroic women going on to
Wnycross with the wounded. Thus
have the citizens of this lovely little
Southern town shown to ttiese unfor
tunate visitors from the North, that
‘‘good Samaritans” still lire, and tiint,
believing in the “universal brother
hood of man,” they know no l^orth
ind no South, and thus has one more
link been added to the great chain
that shall bind together it) an insep

country that have but lately faced
each other with sword and cannon
and bayonot, and thus hah one more
long and rapid stride been made

"shall be united in deed, in truth, and
in heart, as well'as in name. - *
