Have you made returns to the C itv Clerk ou your personal prop erty? , If you have net. look out for a double tax. You have had fair warning, lhe law requires all returns to be m by the first of Muy so that the tax rate can be fixed and the approprations made for the yeer. The penalty for a falure to do this is double taxation. Here is the ordinance read it for you self. ‘•lt snail be the duty of all per iods to give in their taxes by the time prescribed, and any person failing to do so shall be doubly taxed.” Os course you dent want to pay double tax ; its hard enough to pay it once. But you cant b,ame the city authorities. They must do ther duty. The town must be kept go ing. If you set back and neglect your duty you must pay for it. A good many have doubtless filled out the blanks furnished them, but failed to return then to the City Clerk . These should be sent in without a moments delay. On the 10th of th*B month the council must fix the tax rate and provide tor the running expenses ot the city. This cannot be done until the returns are all iu. Any who have failed to get their returns in before that date will certainly suffer the penalty of the doable tax. Don’t neglect this matter anoth er minute. Go the first thing on Monday m uumg io the City Clerk's cilice ami fiie vuur returns* Ibis is important, it will save you money. It will save the city authorities auueyaupe. It may help to reduce the tax rate for th*- year. It you are wise you w til act on this “tip 'at the vary first oppor tunity. Send in your returns! SUPERIOR COURT.

May 3. —Yester- day wns a great day for the Atkin son men of Gwennett county, fora Felder of Atlanta came up and ad dressed about 125 democrats. He spoke not so much for Evans lut against Atkinson, whom he brand ed as a traitor who was guilty of perfidy. He abused all the legis lators who are supprrting Atkin son, and declaired that the judges and solicitor generals were in u corrupt ring. He said further that rhe Macon Telegraph w»s owned aud edited by a wall street Repub licau, who, : f.er the war was a carpet-bagger in Ge* rgia, and the editor, as well as every other man who works on the Telegraph is an enthusiastic Evans man, but h?d to obey orders from the Wall Ft., owner of the paper. He made ten charges against Atkinson, and did it in loud tones. When he closed it seemedt bat half the crowd was tor Evane. However, at the conclusion of his speech there was numerous calls for Maj, W. E. -Simmons who rose quickly from his chair and spreading out before him a brief of the charges that had been made proceeded in a quiet way to answer them. Taking them up one by one he answered everyone of them to the e.itire satisfaction of all present, and to the great chagrin and dis comforture of the Atlanta-Evans boome. When Maj. Simmons re ferred to the supposed fact that Felder had been s-nt out by the Atlanta-Evans club "to make spontaneity spouiain,” the house went wild with Atkinson enthusi asm. Mi.j. Simmons said that Atkiu doii’s friends had begged and im portuned for a continuation oi the joint debates, but Gen. Evans Atlanta boomers had run the gen eral und r he bed aud iuati ad ot aciting fairy, were now sending young lawyers from Atlanta to stab Auiusou in the back aud misrepresent him where he had no opportunity to set himselt right befi re the people. Al the conclusion of the speech several Evans men aunou.icxi for Atkinson. Among this number was the clerk of the superior couft D. T. Cain an old soldier, and heretofore an ardent Evans man. |He is now talking tor Atkinson, aud if indications count for any thing Gwinnett county will send an Atkinson delegation tj the Convention.
