land: Loring, Short & Harmony is a volume of
strong, fresh and original stories, which, not
Possessing high degree of literary refinement,
win the readers hearty liking by their upright,
honest and spirited quality. They are Western
in origin and style, and give lively pictures of
the homes and society Of that section of coun
try. The usual stock company, so inimitably
managed by Mr. Bret Harte, do not appear in
these domestic dramas; it is quieter and more
homelike life that they describe. Mr.. Riddle
is fortunate in having fresh and undeveloped
field of fiction. 1t is said that President Gar
field enjoys this authors stories greatly, and
the genuineness and vigor which they display
make it seem very probable that they should
give pleasure to the President whose sympa-
thies are so ready with everything honest,

An Oil Mill.

Mr.. G. M. Venable, of Mem
phis, Tenn, has been in the
city for the past week or two
looking around with a view to
establishing a cotton seed oil
mill. He is an old mill man
having been engaged in the
business for the past IS years.
He has been making a thor
ough investigation of the sur
roundings and expresses him
self as well satisfied, so much
so, that he has concluded tie To-
cate here. In addition to the
crude or raw oil he will also re-
fine it, which is a new branch
of the business in this state.
He proposes putting up a mill
of the capacity of four thousand
tons per eight months and will
have facilities for increasing it
indefinitely, or in other words to
work up all the seed that can
be obtained. By the location
Of the mill here farmers will get
more money for their seed than
has heretofore been paid by
the agents of the mills located
at other points. The proposed
mills will give steady employ
ment to about thirty hands.
This will be a valuable addition
to our town.

Fire Department.

In conversation with a lead
ing merchant regarding the sup
port of the fire department, he
said that as an inducement to
business men and property own
ers to contribute towards the
purchase of steamer the fire
insurance agents promised re-
duction in the rate of premiums;
but now that the engine has
been here for a year and a half
the price of fire insurance has
remained the same. 1t is sup
posed that the underwriters I'M
derstand their business, but to
those not engaged in the insur-
ance business it does not seem
exactly fair. The question pro-
pounded is: "If there is no re-
duction in the price of INSURANCE,
why maintain a steam fire en-
gine?" Perhaps the underwri-
tiers can shed a ray of light here.
Merchants generally express a
willingness to pay a tax for the
maintenance of the fire depart
ment, but there are, perhaps,
difficulties in the way of levying
tax for that purpose. If the
department disbands the pro-
perty owners will, in all proba-
bility, awake to its Importance.

To the Taxpayers of Washington
county.

The unlimited power delegat.
ed to Commissioners Courts tc
tax their counties is an outrage
on the liberties Of the people,
1t is more liable to abuse in
many instances than that Of the
Legislature. over the state at
large especially is this the case
when the commissioners are
elected by a part of the popu-
lation, who have srrayed- them
selves in bitter hostility to the
other. The taxpayers of this
county have submittedto great
deal from their county court
since emancipation. Many of
US have a vivid and most pain
full recollection of having been
taxed twice, if not three times,
for the purpose of building a
Jail. Twice the money was StO-
len by those who had the build
ing of it. Since that time the
members of this court have been
regularly elected by the non
taxpaying rabble-to this ele-
ment, and this alone, are they
indebted for their elevation to
office. AS this court is now
constituted with almost unlimit-
ed power to levy taxes for what
they may denominate special
purposes = the genuine tax
payers are completely at their
mercy. The wealth, the respec-
liability and intelligence of the
county are to be dictated to
whenever any question Of spe-
cial taxation comes up by the
representatives of the most ig-
norant and debased constituent
cy that are allowed the privilege
of voting in any country IN the
civilized world. Outrage and
oppression, when persevered in,
are some times followed by a
fearful recoil. We already pay
an enormous county tax and it
seems uniformly squandered
with a most reckless hand.
We have recently heard with
establishment that 1t is contem-
plated by our county court to
levy upon the taxpayers OF this
county the enormous sum of
fifty thousand dollars for the
purpose of erecting a new court
house in the town of BRENNAN.
Washington county now has a
very creditable courthouse, more
so than one-halt the counties in
the state. Many of the people
are already taxed beyond their
ability to pay.
We the undersigned citizens
and taxpayers of the east end
of Washington county hereby
beg to enter our earnest protest
against being taxed for any such
purpose, unless it were more
necessary than we conceive it
to be. Our present courthouse, |
with small addition, could cas-
ily be made to answer all neces- |
sary purposes for the next Is
years. Men who pay no tax |
whatever, and those who render |
their property at one-half, or
one-third its actual value, may |
well afford to advocate this tax,
when the benefit they expect to |
derive from it will largely over
balance their portion of this tax.
