Recently near JOnesboro, three men
named Gray, who were secreted on the
roadside, attacked and fired upon John
M. Tadlock and son, while the latter
were passing along the public road in a
wagon. A lively fusilade ensued, in
which the elder Tadlock received slight
wounds in. the hands, face and body,
and one of the Grays was seriously and
perhaps MORALLY wounded by Tadlock.
The three Grays, it appears, were enrag
ed at Tadlock for having been instru-
mental in having them presented before
the Grand Jury for carrying concealed
weapons and had declared that they
would have vengeance there for. All
the parties except the one SO badly hurt,
were arrested.

To the Wors4ipfatl County Court Of Ham
0tera county, January Term, 1878:
In compliance with the usual custom,
your Chairman submits the following
report of county affairs Revenue de-
rived to your county, from all sources,
during the year 1877, is as follows:
Direct tax for county pur-
poses, excluding tax as
sessed on railways. -. 5000 "a

The total assessed value of the taxa
Bile property of your county, as shown
by the assessment for 1877, is the sum
of 81 AS, 528, which is about sos, 900
more than was shown by assessment fer
1875,
The number of acres of land Is 101,-
7s6, valued at 81 ,OO3, 497; the balance of
the amount above named is personal
property, valued at $217, 1885,
The number of polls for 1877 is 1,aae,
ana the amount of poll tax is 81 ,992.
The aggregate tax assessed for all pur-
poses, exclusive of tax on railways is
| St64, n 28-1OO, which is about qne.niae.
/ Ieth Is the assessed value of all the
property.
During the year 1877, 937 warrants
were issued, amounting in the aggregate
to 81 $50 71-1OO.
Of tAis sum, $1,5O9 $1,000 were APP
preparations to the posri and the fact
that SO large an amount was thus ex-
pended, suggests more forcibly than any
words can employ, the great impor-
! lance of deYising an economical method
of relieving the necessities of this class
of our population.
The jail, which, by your order, was
put under contract some months since,
is. in. manner, completed.
The following statement exhibits the

March LIST, 1878, and $842 19-1OO, the re-
maindcr, on January 1st, 1879.
The interest for 1877 on railway bonds
has been paid; and, also, the interest for
1876 and 1877 on the $21OO Of bonds is
sued by Hawkins county, In aid of the
Rogarsville and Jefferson Railroad,
which amount your county recently as
sumed to pay, this being the proportion
which fell to the fraction of your coun-
ty, taken from Hawkins county.
The balance due Jefferson county
shown by report to January term, 1877,
to be $762 02-10O, has been paid, and
accepted by said county in full of all
demands. The only matter of difference
now existing between the counties, is
the dispute in relation to the County
Line, as to which bill has recently
been filed by your county, seeking an
adjustment of the question, and enjoin-
ing the county of Jefferson from exer-
cising any jurisdiction over or collect
ing taxes within the disputed territory.
REVENUE FOR 1876.
The county revenue for 1876, aggre-
eating 81, 467 33-10O. has been paid in
full, as will appear from settlement
made by J. E. Thompson, Trustee and
Revenue Collector, on 9th of Decem-
Der, last.
Your Chairman furthermore reports
that on Goth October, 1877, he carefully
reviewed and examined all former set
Elements made by Mr.. Thompson, as
Trustee.
These settlements show that the Trus-
tee has received and properly disbursed,
including the revenue for 1876, the sum
of $66, O62 S1-100. Not dollar of the
public money which came to his hands
has been misappropriated or misapplied;
and, I take pleasure in commenting his
integrity and fidelity in the discharge
of his official duties.

was enacted showed signs of having

contained $1,000, was untouched. A
careful investigation Is being made, in
the hope that the guilty parties may be

The Most Precious of Gifts,

Heath is Incidentally n more precious
gift than riches, honor or pow
er. Who would exchange 1t
for these, the chief objects
of human ambition? Its obviously the
rart OF wisdom to employ means for the
preservation of health and the prolonga-
ton of life which time and experience
have proved to be reliable. Many of the
dangers by which health is threatened
may be nullitied by the use OF that most ir.
resistible ofcorrectives and tonics, II ost ct
ter's stomach Bitters which by increasing
vital power and rendering the physical
functions regular and active, Keeps the
system in good working order and pro-
tecls 1t against disease. For constipation,
dyspepsia, liver complaint, nervousness
kidney and rheumatic ailments, it is in
valuable, and it affords u sure defence
against malarial fevers, besides removing
every trace of such disease from the sys-
TEN. Half a wineglassfIl taken before
meals improves the appetite and insures
complete digestion and assimilation.
