FACTS AND FIGURES.

WHICH WILL PROVE HEAVY READING TO THE
ROMANTIC MIND, But INTERESTING TO
MANY OF OUR READERS.
CHANGING over the statement Of property
assessed in Alexander county, for the year
1880, we discovered some facts which will
prove interesting to the readers Of The
BULLETIN.
OF improved lands, Alexander county
contains 90, 4T6 acres and these are valued
at s205,27S or, on. an average,
S7.75 per acre. This shows that
there are less number Of
unimproved lands in this county than
any other in the district, but its valuation
is higher than that of Jackson, Johnson,
Massac, Pope or Williamson counties. Ofun-
improved lands this county has 50, 1924 acres
and their average value per acre is given at
81 IA. The total number Of acres in the
county, improved and unimproved, is lOS,-
500.
The number Of improved and unim-
proved town and city lots in the county are
7,762 and their average value per lot is
given at $l441j. Of improved lots there
are 1866 and these are valued
at S4542j. The unimproyed lots,
which are 5,907 in number, are valued
at $47.5j per lot
The total value of all property assessed in
the county S?,03l,9l9.
The number OF horses which enjoy life in
Alexander is 1865 and s27.29 is what they
are valued at a piece. Of cattle there are
1856 and these are valued at 1888 head
Of mules and asses 1855 have their being
here and the value Of these per head is
S32.3l. OF sheep there are lies, and of
hogs, 5,097.
Sixtytive fire proof safes are to be found
in the county and these are valued at
S40,2S piece.
We have Is billiard, pigeon hole and
other tables, valued at $40 piece ;
$3.50 carriages aud wagons Of which the av-
erage value is $20S9; watches and clocks,
Sl4, of which the average value is IS %;
sewing and knitting machines, $40, valued
at $l1lS apiece.
Alexander county has more pianos than
any of the ten counties which comprise this
district, except Randolph county. Alexan.
der has l27 pianos and Randolph 1871
But it appears that our pianos are of a bet.
ter quality than are those of Randolph
county, since ours are assessed at $740g
apiece and those Of Randolph are assessed
at only s44.02 apiece. OF melodeons and
organs we have only 25 and they are valued
at $1,000.
Merchandise, $l3s,945 Material ant
and manufactured articles, $6,4sS
Manufacturers tools, implements ant
machinery, Sl03.l5. In these Alexander
county is ahead of all other counties in tn,
district, except two. These two are Uniol
and Williamson counties. The assessment,
on agricultural tools, implements and
machinery Alexander county shows up les
than any county IN the district, excep
Pulaski county, the assessment on thos
ARTICLES in that county being s5a54
and Alexander county $4,000
In regard to the assessment Of gold an,
silver plate and plated ware our count,
stakes the cake of any in the district, as |
does also in diamonds and jewelry.
