The committee, which was appointed
by he County Board to examine the val
ue of the goods furnished by Mr.. Ma
honey to the paupers of the Poor Farm,
made their examination last week. In
order to do justice to Mr.. Mahoney and
the county, they took third person with
them, who is good Judge of goods and
prices and entirely disinterested in the
matter. After careful examination. we
learn, they have come to the conclusion
that they will report in favor of allowing
the bill, which we spoke of in our last is
sue, at about one-half of the amount
claimed This will give the tax payers a
pretty good idea how the Poor Fund had
to bleed heretofore.

From q "bird's eye view" we

impression that very few places in

= proysments and prosperity since our
"late unpleasantness," than has
Canton- On looking round, we find
that the new Dwelling houses almost.
If not quite, equal the old ones, and
they are, in the main, very neat and
creditable buildings. If the dwell
ing houses have doubled in number,
IL 10 reasonable to suppose that the
population has increased in cores
poDding ratio, and that we number
twice az many souls now, or very
nearly so, AZ We did ere "grim Wis
aged war had smoothed his wrinkled
'front.'" what the population may
be, We are not prepared to say, and
as our experiments in that line have
heretofore eeen signal failures, We
will not even venture a guess
The fact might be very easily ascer.

THE SOUTHERN HORTICULTURE
'lsT-A. NonthlyJOaraal deroted to tn
Iaterests Of the South.-The foregoing
is the title of u periodical published
4 in this place, the first number OF
which we tind on our table. The
title page bears the name of Fl. A.
Swasey, n. D., Editor and Proprie'
tor. 1t is a pamphlet of thirty two
ipagese xclusive of cover aud adver-
Using sheets. We find its pages
filled with very choice reading on
the subject of Horticulture, with
article devoted to Domestic Econo-
my. Its typographical execution is
creditable, though the publishers
I inform us it was issued hurriedly and
under unfavorable circumstances,
and anticipate an Improvement IN
that respect. rr
CHANGING through its pages, We
perceive at its close DR.. Swasev's
Salutatory and Valedictory in the
same article. The DR.. Informs us
that circumstances over which he
has no control compel him to relin
quish the enterprise for the present,
to take charge of his Yazoo fruit
farm. We are glad to perceive,
however, that DR.. Swasey retains a
position on the Horticultural as As
sociate Editor. The present propri-
etors are most fortunate in this par
ticular, as DIR. Swasey is thorough
horticulturist and pomOlogist, and
is one of the best writer's on these
subjects in the South.
In the number before us we find
that Messrs. Manhard and Park sue
coed to the proprietorship of the
publication, and Mr.. L. X. Manhard
makes graceful .and modest bow,
Gust like him. as principal Editor.
Mr.. Manhard has long been known
toour community as a practical nur-
seryman, and. zee have had occasion
to know that he yields facile pen
on the subject of horticulture. This,
united with great industry and an
energy that Knows "no such word
as fail" gives us the assurance that
under his control the HOrticultUrist
will be a success.
Ofthe publisher, Mr. John p. Park.
it is sufficient to say. he is thorough
printer. long engaged in the publica.
ton of periodicals Of this character,
and as he will bring to the Hortieuy
turist his very best skill and endea-

and furnished to subscribers

We wish the enterprise the great
