FROM SALEM,
SALEM, TENN, Dec. G, 1875

SALEM, TENN, Dee, G, 1875,
Editor Home journal!
With the exception ofgloomy wealth,
err, We have nothing in our village Of
which we should complain, In fact
we are not n croaking people. We be,
lieve the true philosophy Of life con
sists in taking things as they come, and
parting with them as they go. We are
hale and hearty, have plenty to eat and
enough to wear, Under such circum'
stances we arc gay and happy, or,
rather, rs one Of our villagers would
express it, "%Eyerything is lovely and
the goose hangs high"
Our farmers arc about done sowing
wheat and gathering corn. So, they
have nothing TO do this ugly weather
but to build their large and comforta-
BILE wood fires, and around them enjoy
their abundant supply Of ribs, back
bones, sausage, fatty bread, chicken
pie, pumpkin. custard, and many other
things too good to mention, which arc
the reward Of their honest toll at this
season Of the year.
Our spelling matches are holding up
admirably. Last Saturday night we
had Il hard spell, which was conducted
by Rev. Mr., Males and James Farris,
Esqr., as moderators, and DIR. j. M,
Anderson as master Of ceremonies.
Out of about three hundred of the most
difficult words selected from the old
spelling book, comparatively few we're
missed. The only words which gave
the class much trouble were "sigiI''
and 'rcscision."
Blythe, way, our Reading Club is not
a bad institution. IL meets every Fri
day night; and, with our limited sup
ply Of books, as well as other disad.
vantages under which we labor, it is
working well, and bids fair to be pro.
ductive Of much good. The following
question has been propounded by u
member Of the Club, which the Editor
or some Of some Of the readers Of the
journal would do the Club n kindness
to answer: "What precaution was Civ
en- by Arladne to Theseus when the
latter was forced to 90 into the Lab
yrinth OF Crete to fight the Minotaur ~
Truly, Echo.
The editor of the Home journal can
lnswcr the question, but as Echo's Club
every Friday night he awaits to see
which member, or how many members,
.an give an answer.

A PENALTIES.
When they Begin to Run OH
Taxes of 1875.

From the Nashville American.
Revenue Collectors are beginning to
inquire as to when penalties will begin
10 run on the taxes of 1875. The rev.
cnue law of 1872 settles the question.
Section AZ of that Act provides, THAT
the Clerk of the County Court shall
make out the tax books on or before
the first Monday in October, each and
every year, RON the assessment books
in his possession" The Act Of 1878
had the effect to produce a postpone
ment OF the preparation Of the books.
While in some counties the section
quoted has been carried out, in others
and especially in Davidson-the
books will not be ready for use until
about the first of January. Faxes fall
due the moment the tax books fall in
to the hands OF the collector.
Section 81 of the Act of 1873 pro.
vides, THAT in all cases when the tax
hooks for any year shall have been
four months in the hands of the tax
collector of any county in the State, he
shall then and thereafter, add aud col.
Iect penalties on all payments by tax
payers made after that time rs herein
prescribed, to-wit: After the expiia-
ton Of ninety days. aud before sale OF
properly, ten per cent" Under this
law, which is The only one governing
the matter, the penalty does not begin
10 run until the expiration of seven
months after the tax books have been
placed in the collectors hands"

.roMENrERs OF STRIFE.

The recent negro insurrectionary
movement in Middle Georgia seems
not to be the only place where bad
and villainous leaders are fomeniing
strife. In Marietta they are dispos-
ed to behave themselves, but the
Gainesville Standard says a colored
deabting society in that place mas
been meeting and discussing the
rightful ownership Of the lands in
the South, which has bad sigoii-
canoe, intoxicating a false spirit, cal
culated to incite instruction.
The Atlanta Herald reports the
appearance of a darkey at a colored
secret society, where he was over
heard making an inAammatory aOd
boisterous speech saying they had
been overawed and defeated in the
elections in Atlanta and they must
right matters; that they were not
whipped in Middle Georgia but sim
ply overpowered, and that in 1876
they would be triumphant.
The Valdosta Times learns that
an attempt had been made by an UNI
known white man to seduce Dan
Thomas, a we'll known colored maa
and leaderIof the Republican party
in that town, into exciting a preju-
diced and Disconnected spirit among
the colored people-o of the county tor
the purpose of murder and robbery,
and the editor interviewed Dan and
drew from him a statement in regard
to the matter. 1t is said several
white persons are willing to substan>
tate his story. The white man
claimed to be from Illinois.
These outcroppings shows a tur>
bulent, restless element, Il sIumber
ing volcano in the breasts of these
fomenters that does not smack much
friendship and peace, We tellth
if they obey these false teachers,
they will get into trouble. The
white people couusds you for good,
for an uprising will carry to your
homes and hearts, as we'll as theirs,
desolation and death.
