FAILED TO CONE.
The Star Comedy Company, billed for this
place on last Friday and Saturday, failed to
make their appearance according to pro-
gramme. The Blind Minstrel Troupe, which
was billed to be here during the Christmas
holidays, also failed to meet their appointment.
Why the sStars' failed to come is not salts,
factorily known but in the case of the blind
troupe, it is supposed that on account of balls,
festivities and various amusements absorbing
the minds of the people at that particular
time, business would be light, and consequent
ly they couldn't see it,"

a private letter of the 9th instant, received

have Just returned from Nashville, where

assurances of cooperation from lines from
Texas to East Tennessee in making the CEN
tennial a success. I am satisfied, with the
proper opening up of the matter on the 21st

of the Union to honor the veterans OF Kings

AIRLINE RAILROAD TAXES.
The question of the liability Of the Airline
Railroad to taxation, has been subject OF ltl-
cation for several years. In 1877 the road was
sold to it's present owners, the former company
having paid no taxes upon it, on the ground
that the road was not liable to taxation. This
question was tested in the courts and decided
against the company while the road was in
the hands of receiver. The present company
has heretofore declined to pay the taxes which
accrued prior to their purchase Of the road,
but were willing to pay the taxes properly
chargeable to them. At the recent session OF
the Legislature an act was passed authorizing
the tax officers to receive the taxes for 1877
and 1878 from the present management OF the
road, free of cost and penalties, and leave the
taxes which accrued previous to 1877 as
charge against the former company. Under
these circumstances, Gen. Foreacre, the gener-
al manager of the road, has paid the taxes In
the several counties of this State, having visit
ed Yorkville last week for the purpose of pay
ing the taxes due to the county of York.
