HARDEMAN CoUNTY-From the recently
published report of the Comptroller, for the
two years ending September 30th, 1869, we
learn the revenue derived from tax on privi-
leges in this county amounted to S47 ,l6t So,
and that the sum of $lI So so has For the
same time, been paid out of the treasury to
the county for various purposes, as follows
State Prosecutions. .................. s., II3 Is
Conveying convicts to Penitentiary | SOB 90
Claim Commissions-(Dead Beats) 49S 80
Common Schools. ..................... 6,3l4 65
registering votes-(gone up).-.... 100 90
Thus, it will be seen that Hardeman has,
in the past two years, contributed to the
State Treasury $50, 500 70 more than the
Comptroller has paid out to her for all
purposes whatever. The Report also shows
that the counties Of BlouDt Cannon, Greene,
Hardeman, Lauderdale, Lincoln, and Over
ton, have settled with the Comptroller in
full, while the remaining counties in the
State are Delinquents to the tune of $685.
ZOO 10, one hundred and forty thousand Of
which appertains to shelby. From the
above facts, it will be seen that Hardeman
holds her position In the front rank, prompt
and sound as dollar If you want q home
whore honesty, wealth and intelligence is
combined with industry and christianity,
come to Hardeman and get it. you are
mechanic, Bolivar is the place for you GER
tain. If you are a merchant you could not
select better place and, as a location for
manufacturing purposes, Bolivar has no
equal in the State. Splendid water power
and the finest and best of timber OF every
Nature has so lavishingly bestowed upon
