TUESDAY NIGHT.

TIE Supper given by the ladies on
Tuesday night, for the benefit of the
Aberdeen Guards; was highly sue
cessful in every sense of the word, as
are all the enterprises and undertake
ings of the fair ladies of Aberdeen.
During the afternoon the several Ia
bles in the hall had been heavily la
den with everything in the line of
substantials, while there was no end
to the cakes, ice cream, ambrosia,
chorlatte-iusse, and thousand and
one other good things whose names
appear in the catalogue of dainties,
all contributed with liberal hand by
the ladies and others of the city. The
small tables throughout the hall
were presided over by the young la
dies whose charming beauty and win
some manners were we'll calculated to
attract every dollar possessed by the
young gentlemen, as we'll as by the
old, besides rendering the occasion
one of the greatest social enjoyment.
AT the conclusion of the drill in the
afternoon the Guards were marched
into the hall and ''stacked arms" and
all the members attended the enter
tainment in the evening attired in
their neat fatigue uniform-having no
other uniform as yet-which impaired
quite a military air to the occasion.
We understand that two numbered
dollars was Melted from the supper,
and the luncheon on Wednesday.

We hope that Tax Assessor CABOT
will use his best endeavors to have
the real estate of Monroe listed at its
proper valuation, this year. The
figures at which the lands of this
county are returned to the assessor
especially the open lands-are entries
ly too low, and in many instances
should not be accepted at all. It is a
crime against your country to put in
your land at four and FIVE dollars an
acre when you know that fifteen dol
lars an acre could not purchase it,
and instead of publishing to the
world, through the only source from
which the world can obtain the infor
nation, that your lands are valuable,
by your own act and volition depre-
ciate their worth by quoting them to
the Assessor at one>fourth or one
half their value.

As will be observed by reference
to another column in this issue, the
Aberdeen Guards have thrown down
the gauntlet and challenged all regu-
lar volunteer military companies of
Mississippi to enter a Competitive
Drill at our Fair Grounds next May.
While that company has been char
tered for several years, it has not been
in a perfect state of organization
many months of its existence, and
while there may be other Companies
in the State who are better versed
and more perfect in military rules
and tactics, the Guards are anxious
to give them chance to assert their
superiority or to win the champion
belt themselves, by an actual and
impartial test. The rules adopted
are fully as fair and favorable to one
company as another, and the winner
has only to walk up to the string and
take down the purse that he wins,
after decision of the Judges, who
are to be officers of the Regular
Army, has been rendered.
There are a half dozen or more
Companies III the State that are in
condition to enter and doubtless there
will be quite spirited contest.

Competitive Military Drill.

At regular meeting of the Aber>
deem Cards, held on Monday night,
January 29th, the company resolved
to challenge all regularly organized
volunteer military companies of Mis-
sissippi to enter competitive drill
on the Fair Grounds at Aberdeen, on
Thursday, My 10th, for purses of
five hundred dollars the drill to be
governed by the rules and regula-
tons following:
LIST, The purse is $500 90, to be
divided as follows; Is, $500; 2nd,
$3.50; 81. $50
2nd, Each company wishing to
enter shall make its application, ac-
companied by the entrance fee, on
or before April 1st, 1883.
Sd. The entrance fee shall be $50
for each company three companies
to enter, or no drill.
4th. Each comp my shall consist
of one Captain, two Lieutenants,
three Sergeants and twenty-four
privates,
9th. The Judges shall be officers
of the regular United States Army.

Our efficient Tax Assessor, Mr.. f. NJ.
CABoT, will begin his labor of listing the
real and personal property of Monroe
county, at Parham's Store, in the First
District, on Thursday, February LIST, and
continue until his list of appointments,
which is published elsewhere. is COM
pleted. The time and labor required for
making the assessment this year will be
very considerable, and in order to facil-
itate the matter, Mr.. Cabot is anxious
for the people to meet him at all of bis
appointments. He is not required to
ride over fields and plantations, and after
calling at the residence and failing to
fud the tax payers it becomes his duty
to make the assessment himself accord
ing to the best information obtainable,
which of course he dislikes to do. 1t
will be mutually advantageous for the
tax payers to meet him at the various
precincts. The assesessment of property
will be more satisfactory to the people,
and will greatly expediate the labors of
an official who receives the smallest pay
Of any in the county.

The Aberdeen Branch Rrailroad
has recently received either an ele>
giant new passenger coach or one that
has been renovated in the highest
style of the art. We now have two
coaches that would be considered
first.class on any main line of road.
Aberdeen is entitled to this, however,
by stipulations in the sale of the
branch road, which was her property,
to the Mobile & Ohio, which provided
that our branch should always be
kept in good condition and furnished
with first class rolling stock, and
the Management of the road has so
far closely complied with the terms
of the contract.

excellent company. An arrangement has
been made by which per centage of

favorable weather fine audiences will be
in attendance every night.

THE publishers Of the EXAMINER are in
correspondence with gentlemen who
desires to erect cotton factory III Mis-
sissippi, and there is probability that he
can be induced to locate at Aberdeen.
He also proposes to establish cotton
seed oil mill in connection with the
factory. Now, it may be that this gen
tleman will visit our city in the near
future, and he may make propositions to
our people the acceptance of which
would secure both these factories, and it
is to be hoped that there will not be a
repetition of the experience we had
few years since in regard to overtures
for cotton seed oil mill.

Our New Rail Road.

Capt. John G. Mann, Chief Engineer
of the Illinois Central, and Capt. De-
Courcey, Chief Engineer of the Canton,
Aberdeen & Nashville, completed the
final location of the G. A. & N through
the city, together with the machine
shop and depot grounds, last week, and
departed on Saturday, leaving nothing
to hinder the contractors from going
ahead with the grading. The road en-
tiers the city just beyond the city Genes
terry, touches the Southwest corner of
the Fair Grounds, and crosses Commerce
Street little East of the lower artesian
well; from which it proceeds in North-
west direction, intersecting Meridian
Street where 1t is crossed by the survey
OF the New Orleans, Jackson h Great
Northern which line is there adopted for
the extention of the road beyond the
city. The depot building will be located
where the colored Methodist Church now
stands, at the corner of Commerce and
Chestnut Streets, while the grounds for
the machine shops-twelve and half
acres-have been selected at the inter-
section Of the old survey and bordering
on Matubba Creek. A more eligible
route for passing through the city could
not have been secured that would admit
OF establishing depot so near the bust.
ness portion Of town, though it would
have been much more desirable by all
concerned to have secured q union depot
with the Mobile & Ohio.
Nearly all the property trespassed up.
on, though valuable, is virtually unim-
proved, and as the corporation of Aber-
deem is required by contract with the
company to donate the right Of way
through the city limits, it is to be hoped
that onl, reasonable price will be de-
manded for such real estate as may be
necessary, 80 that the committee to be
appointed by the City Councillor the
jury to be summoned by the Sheriff if
that is the mode of proceedure-may
not be required to resort to the arbi>
trary provision in the charter of the road,
and forced to condemn it. 1t is imports
ant that this committee, or jury, shall
be composed Of representative, conserva-
tive gentlemen, who are willing to pro-
tect property holders and allow fair COM
pensation for every foot of land, and at
the same time prevent impositions upon
the city. The lots and lands along the
road will be brought into market and
enhanced fifty fold in value by its build
ing. whereas without it, they would re-
main an almost useless burden upon the
hands of their owners.
The Engineers are anxious for the
deeds to be secured at the earliest posi-
BILE moment, so that the contractors can
proceed with the grading without delay.
The breaking of the first dirt near Aber-
deem will be at the rear of the City
Cemetery whence the work will proceed
through the city to Matubba Creek.
