About Our Land Assessors:

One of the best Readjustcrs and best
citizens Of the upper end Of the county
writes, asking if ii is not the duty of the
Land Assessors to view the lands in per-
son and to ut least consult the owner as
to their value. He complains that many
Of the farmers are, as he believes, never
visited by the assessor at all, but that the
opinion of third parties is sought will!
regard to their value, without the asses
sor taking the trouble to view them in
person. We think the assessor is bound
to view the land for the purpose, unless
he is already so well acquainted with it
that another inspection Is unnecessary
to enable him to make up an opinion Of
his own. Otherwise he would be simp-
ply delegating to Others the power of
assessment. We do not know that he Ia
bound to consult tho owner, though 1t
is plainly his duty to obta n
all the information he reasonably can
from the owners and others. He Is re-
quired to ascertain the cash value, based
on actual sales in the vicinity, and where
such have been made on time TO deduct
the interest. This alone should cause
him often to consult the owner.

The editor of this paper may have been
Peck-iag around during the time men
toned, but, while doing so, there never
was any question rs to which side he was
on.-GileS True Issue.
But the difficulty is YOU have been
Peck-ing on both sides, and the only rea-
son you gave for the change, as we re-
member it, is that the majority changed.
Now when you have Picked Seven years
on the Readjuster side, as you did on the
Funder side then you can Hap your
wings and crow loudly that you are a
Read juster that will stick, for it will be
then presumed your judgement has I'M
dergone change. Meantime we are
very glad to receive you Oh probation
and if you quit strutting around with
those steel spurs, which last fall you
bucklcd on your legs, we shall try to see
that you are courteously and kindly
treated. Now walk in and while we
have said this much, we will thrash any
other man who says anything against

responding "thst's so''--"Mahone has

men In the State" The Governor has
now gulf between him and nearly ev-
cry man who voted for him in 1873, and
is Drum Major in the ranks of those
whom he has denounced as "bond-hold-

better Democrat than any man who

was the first Readjuster In Va, but is u
Readjuster still.
Gen. Walkers speech was able, edo
queht and imprisoned, but it was inju-
rious TO his cause, rs he lost his temper
frequently. The county crowd was
largely against him. 1t is due to truth
to say the July ticket will carry in the
county by large majority.

Chns. ThNrmnn.

The Potter Rifles, had n magnificent
prize drill last Tuesday evening At Nash
Vile. For faulicss drill the contest
soon narrowed down to two brothers
named McNish, on ono Of whom the
fine gold medal was bestowed.
The most exciting event Of the even
ing was the surprise Of u splendid gold
plated sword presented TO Quartcr-Mas-
ter Adam Dlohl, IN the presence Of 500
persons. Lieut.. Basket called ont Lieut..
Chas. Thurman, of the Nashville Light
Dragons, who at the request of the
Company made splendid presentation
speech, 10 which the Q. NJ. made brief
reply, owing to his complete surprise In
the matter. Lieut.. Thurman's speech
Is reported IN full in the Daily American,
and was one made in most excellent
taste, aud proves that he has oratorical
powers that are appreciated 10y the elite
Of Nashylllc's young people. Mr..

returned % Emory. We further learn
that the Board intended t. retain DR..
BUCHANAN, and they would even now
re-elect him ii he would agree 10 serve.
The situation then seems 10 be this: Dr..
BUCHANAN misconstrued the action of
Board as hostile to him when 1t WAS ac-
tually friendly to him, and that he could
have remained, and can even now 60
back if he chooses. This should clear
both Readjusiers and Funders, especial
