Some people say the government
robbed US of our negro property
and so impoverished us that we
are unable to pay. They do not
know that our railroad system, for
which the major part of the debt
was made, has increased the value
of taxable property until the land
alone is worth more than the land
and negroes were both worth before
the war, and that too, notwithstand-
ing there is thousand dollars ex
empt from taxation in every mans
hands

Miss Ella Williams of Coopertown
spent several days in the neighbor-
hood last week, but we very much
regret that she was suddenly called
home on account of the illness Of
friends. We are always glad 70
see such a bunch Of sunshine

invariably extend TO her a cordial
welcome. Matrimony seems almost
to have gone by the board but from

that we'll get n smack at a piece of
wedding cake yet Wen live in
hope if we die in despair.

The drought! the drought! Now, in
deed, :" the melancholy days are come" and
in places .sthe leaves lie rustling to the ed
dying gust" without ever having been
touched by frost. Now city people can hear
tily sympathize with the farmer as he looks
over bis fields and sees his corn twisted and
bleached. the garden vegetables stunted
and hardly able to stand up under the load
OF dust which cucumber their punv leaves,
and the grass nearly burnt up between the
fierce rays OF the sun and the oven-like
temperature OF the earth. We know
now that our rural friends are not
"croaking." Streets dusty and dirty as
they were never before; the dead leaves ly-
ing on the Capitol Square, where green
grass ought to be; sicsly- looking plants in
front yards markets poorly supplied with
vegetables, when there should be plenty,
and warnings to be careful with city waser,
all confirm us in the conclusion that this is
really "a very dry SPELL"

had our last good rain. The recollection Of
