Tho County Treasurer and the
Auditor, in connection, have discov-
cred a-good many people who have

have been required to pay their taxes
ut the present collection. The mum.
ber Of taxpayers in the County will
DO considerably swelled and the coun~
ty and State revenue considerably i'm
creased.

A few days ago some one, doubtless
through mistake, brought q rock in q
b1g OF seed cotton to McE alPs store,
The cotton was bought and emptied
in cotton house, but the rock was
not discovered until some davs after
wards; and, to the astonisliment Of
everybody, it contained, it is estima~
ted, at least four pounds of gold, Il
ls nearly q fortune within itself; and
as m"Fall is strictly honest, he desires
to return tn> rock to the proper own
er.. SO the PEI 'on who brought the
rock to his store (evidently through
mistake) can have il returned by com.
ing forward and proving its owner
ship.
The extension Of time for tho col
lection Of taxes was a great relief ia
