Much more has been saved, in
comparison. than at the previous

lost, but of this there is no confr-
nation. u

/ think it almost certain that
the rate Of taxation will be
greatly reduced, and that many
trenches of industry will be
relieved Of the license tax en-
tirely. The proposition TO scale
and refund the public debt Of
the State, SO as to reduce it to
something like a living aud
equitable figure, / think will
carry. This can be done with
out working any wrong to any
one, and will at once relieve
the people from the present
crushing weight of taxation.
And if this plan should fail, |
would then favor total and in

the present rate Of taxation, for
the purposes for which it is
LEVIED, amounts simply to the
robbery and impoyerishmentof

freight for our section Of
country this season than l have
ever before noticed. The Min

down, and are sinking money
on every trip.
The city is very healthy, and
upon the whole we are having
beautiful winter weather.

A Coop INvEsTA1ENT.-Why does not
some one of our monied men purchase
the old Duncan lot just opposite this Of
fee and erect on it a handsome brick
building? We understand that gooc
titles can now be given, and we really
think that the investment would be &
good one. Say, for instance, that the
building is three stories high, the first
floor could be made frst-class store
room, the second. Il hall for the Tenn
per;snce organizations, ora public hall
the third, hail for the orders of Mason
ry and Odd Fellowship. There woulc
be no difficulty in thus letting it ou'
and in getting a large per cent. in the
way Of rent.
And then think Of the philanthropy
of the plan. What a general benefit ii
would be in adding greatly to the up,
pearance of our delectable town.
