body is that sve have one of the best
officers m this department in the
State. Books neat, papers kept
properly filed, information readily
given and received ami the interests
<>f the county economically and pro
perly attended to.
Sh. ritT and books of the Justices of
the Peace all seem correct ami show
their transactions.
TAX COLLECTOR.
We havn’t ha . time to give these
books a thorough examination. They ,
seem correct ami the Ordinary re
ports that for the past year our taxes
have been more closely collected than
for several years past, reflecting credit
upon our Collector.
HOADS.
Heretofore bad roads have been
the rule in this county, we take great
pleasure in staling this is no 1 mger

herein mentioned, the roads are in

■ reported in bad condition, and re
commend it be put in good order,
also to the washout by big Kiokee
creek on the Washington road, no.tr
| the corner of Jas. Collin's fence and
i recommend it be filled. Wo recoin
mend that the Ordinary haven bridge
1 built over Cano creek near the mouth
■ where it empties into Little river.
In our examination of the pauper
list, we find the name of J no. Briscoe,
who we consider not a proper person
to receive support from the county.
Wo recommend that his mime be
[ stricken from the list.
Rev. J. S. Perryclear, having we
! learn, served the convicts, now grad
ing the A. A C Railroad in this

condition to the next Grand Jury.
It affords us pleasure to report our
county in a prosperous condition, our
treasury shows a balance on hand of
$3,377 73, no debts to consume it, [
and it seems a favorable time to re
lieve even in a small degree our tux
payers of a portion of the taxes. We
tiiereforc recommend a reduction of
1-10 of one per cent, for 1887, mak
ing the taxes for county purposes
5-10 of one per cent.
We recommend the payment of the
Ordinary’s account as certifli <1 to and I

Messrs. Ike Jones, Alvu Peorro, Ab
Bails' and Bro. Reuben Willingham, |
one of McDuffie's boss farmers, went ■
fox hunting last Saturday nigh., !
struck several trails, but <h<l not. get u
race. They all roosted at Ike’s aftel
the hunt, ami next morning, which
was Sunday, they caught three rab
bits and had them for breakfast.
Dr. Revillo and George Artoh;
came out to Horace Clary’s lust week
with their guns ami a half hound to
hunt with. They dj I not hunt very
long 1 etore they found oat t oir dog
was not very well trained, and decid
ed to hunt the society of young la
dies. So they hitched up their spir
ited steed and started for Mr. Lam
kins, but on reaching the forks of the
road, George lit out of the buggy amt
struck a double quick for Mr. James
Clary's.
Louis Williamson shaved off his
mustache and his lip frost bit so that
his girl is doubtful as to his identity. |
Ike’s fine gray mare was so poor
last Sqmlny that lie was fishamed to
ride her to mill ami rode a mule.
Mr. A. J. Avary can raise mote
corn with less labor and rain than
any man in Georgia H* invented u.

; 30 inch sweep eight years ago, uses it
. altogether after first plowing, with
which it only takes two furrows to the
, row. Hince that time he has not
< bought a bushel of corn, and for the
r hist six years his crop ban averaged
I over 20 bushels per acre.
Now coim s a farmer that old Cu-
< I lumbia is proud of, Mr. Wave Ballard,,
i he has in his gin house aliout fifteen
bales of ungined cottoE and lias not
drawn a dollar from any factor on it,
, Ten years ago Mr B. went to Au
gusta to borrow a little money from
h s factor, and when he made bis
business known his factor began to
j scratch nis head aud asked him if he
could not wait until May. He told
him no, if he could do without eating
i until then he could do witliout al
ways. From that day be has endeav
ored todiave his farm self-sustaining.
The writer can certify that ho has
hud it so for a number of years. How
many of his neighbors or brother
I farmers can say the same? 1 think
but very, very few.
