A Good Showing.

Trustee Bugg closed his books
Saturday night. The total amount
of taxes assessed was $4,000, Of
which he collected about $4l, 900
He collected $4,000 in the last five
days of October and $4,000 during
the whole month. He expected to
keep his books open last Monday,
but under advice from the comp
troller and on examination Of the
law he found that he could not do
so. He would have been liable to
pay the constables commissions on
all money collected that day. 1t
was disappointment to many, but
he was blameless. Mr. Bugg in
forms US that the people never
seemed more willing to pay taxes,
and did it with less grumbling than
usual, and the impression made
upon his mind was that they did it
with more ease than he ever knew
before. He found that nearly all
the people were glad the taxes were
not postponed and he heard fire
quently the nope expressed that the
would never again defer
the collection. The amount col
lected and the willingness and cheer
fulness exhibited by the people i'm
pressed him with the belief that
there is little or no dependency in
the minds of the people, but that
they have accepted the situation and
like philosophers determined to
make the best of it. How different
it might have been and what a
might have overwhelmed
this people if the CITIZEN had fallen
in with those who were disposed to
keep up the starvation cry! We
are not out of debt and some will
want, to-be-sure, but the chance for
famine or starvation is past the
ability OF. any croakers to accom-
Dlish.

A few day ago three darkies were
making preparation for a squirrel
hunt. BY some means they got
separated about 40 or so Yards.
when one of the party asked anoth-
er if he might shoot at him. On
being answered in the affirmative,
he fired at him, hitting him with
two or three shot in the hand, and
another shot went through the hat
of another darkey, who was stand
ing near by. A social gathering
at w. w. Blows a few nights since
was a success. Every one present
seemed to enjoy themselves. Clay

The little reference in the last
number of the CITIZEN to the inc
quality in the charges of shot
used by the Maury and Giles teams
in the recent glass ball shooting
match was perhaps inadvisedly
made. The gentlemen here &C
knowledge themselves fairly beaten
and do not express the slightest dis
satisfaction. The reporter was IN
acquainted with the effect of large
and small charges, and although we
understand the facts to be as stated,
yet they constitute no reflection up
on the Maury team, we believe. The
Maury team reply TO the article in a
dignified way and offer to ex-
change charges and shoot again.
We do not know that the chellenge
viii be accepted. Our boys did
their first shooting there and we
apprehend that with practice they
would give Maury's excellent shots
a close shave for the belt. As far
as the article could be construed
as rejecting upon those gentlemen
we withdraw, but we are satisfied
they do not take it in this light
They may have been under actual
disadvantage, as they claim, in hav-
ing their loads too heavy.

Soal6inr a Sheen.

There lives near where Mt. Pisgah
rears its sacred peak toward the blue
vault that canopies Giles county a
farmer well TODD. He has a son
upon whom he doats and he long
since determined that his name
should become famous through that
son, and hence he gave him all
literary advantages and at last re-
joiced to see him come home with a
well won medical diploma. The
young man came home to spend a
vacation before venturing to hang
out his shingle and his father
thought to make him useful Just
once, and so the other day as he was
leaving home he directed the doctor
to kill a sheep for home use. The
father went of and finished his bust
ness and came back and found that
his literary son had the sheep killed
and a kettle of water on and was
just in the act of plunging the car
casS in to scald and scrape it. He
had already scalded 'possum and
had spent all his strength trying 10
remove the first hair, but the scald-
ing only made the skin tougher and
the carcass began to swell and strut
its legs out until he had it dragged
oil to escape an explosion. This
delayed the scalding of the sheep
or he would have had it in before
his father returned. The father was
struck,dumb with amazement at the
sight Of the hot water and dead
sheep, his scholarly boy with knife
in hand and cuffs turned back to ex-
pose n delicate arm that was skilled
in surgical arts but lacking in sheer
sense, and he sent off for his neigh
bors and they cleaned of a place
and all layed down and laughed un.
til the doctor was mad enough tc
swallow the sheep. As long. as his
Jolly uncles live he will never hear
the last of his sheep scaldinC.
