Samuel Cromer who was struck on
the head with a rock by William Cromer
about one year ago, died last Monday from
the effects Of that wound. II will he re-.
membered that William Cromer got hi 8
throat cut almoet from ear TO ear ut the

has never entirely healed and he is in crit.

j. w. Miller, deputy County Clerk
furnishes me the following figures taken
from the assessors book for 1888: Number
acres land. l79, $50 valued at 1851. Az, No.
town lots, lO7, value $50, 665; No. horses
| $40 value $lOl,95s; No. mules 4OS value
S2l, us; No. Jennets IL value $237; No.
sheep 1906 value $780, No. hogs 6,O6s
value $l7 ,00S; No. cattle 4 249 value $751;
l76; stores So value $45,GlO; Total value
s9S7, 5ss. No. Of legal voters 2,57I; 1883
tuns Of hay; 1928 bushels of corn; 90
S74 bushels wheat; 22,1OS pounds Of to-
bacco; No. Of dogs over 2 is 4. This is an
increase in every thing, both in number
and value except horses, Of which there
are about 100 less. In 1882 the number of
legal voters was 1926, showing an increase
Of 645 in one year. The X. c. Railroad |
will, perhaps, account for the greater por-
ton of this increase. 1t is strange that |
some of the negroes were assessed from
one to three times, while number of
white men we're not assessed at all. may
be wrong in saying that some Of these ne
groes have been assessed from one to three
times, but the same names appear on the
books with the different contrac-
tors as their nearest residence. This looks
very suspicious, but perhaps the deputy
assessor for that side Of the county could |
explain. The increase in the total value
Of taxable property is about 5000; this
is better, but should be much better still.
