Correspondence OF the Herald.
JACKSONVILLE, Aug, 81, 1880.
Yesterday splendid barbecue and the an
nouncement that several distinguished gentle
men from abroad would deliver addresses
allured great concourse of people to the
classic grounds of Larissa. Judge j. II,
Reagan and State Senator Gooch delivered
stirring addresses. The dinner was as nice
as the most fastidious could demand, and
was emblematic of the whole-souled hospi-
tally of the people of that neighborhood.
A fter dinner tie candidates took tilt. Ev-
erything passed very pleasantly, though the
fun was rather tco much one sided in the legis-
lative discussion. cotton is coming
in very slowly. The rains few weeks ago
cut off the crop, leaving an u due proportion
of weed to fruit, and in bottom lands the
boil worm has caused some damage. We
had shower this evening, which laid the
dus and cooled the air, but it has not been
general.--Two or three brick houses will
be built this fall.

Total annual tax. .


iotal annua, 'aA''''''' ,.''''' so'4'o'WU
While the highest amount ever required
before the W was S4IO,OO0.
1t can hardly be necessary to remind you,
or any one else, thst under such enormities
IN loO 1911 and lo'Z, prior to any railroad
connection, whatever across our borders"
or with sister states, immigration, instead OF
being invited to Texas, was repealed and
frightened away.
The sky frightened and the tide of feeling
and confidence was changed only in
the year 1873 and has brought about by two
facts: First, by the patriotic action of the
thirteenth legislature in the spring of 1873,
in voting itself out OF office and provid-
ing for peaceful action in December ofthat
year, one year in advance OF what had been
enormously supposed to be the duration of
Davis term, all of which was
peacefully accomplished by the
inauguration of Coke and new
Legislature representing the people. The sec
ond and very potent fact is, that during the
