An INTERESTING TOPIC.
A Communication from a GallGtin
County Farmer.

Opportunities develop the man, and
whether he be honest or dishonest de-
ponds upon the material of which he is
made. think it is true that all men arc
susceptible, to greater or less degree of
being led into evil practices. The inllr-
ence surrounding an individual. especial
ly when it comedies with his nature.
usually governs his actions.
] noticed an article in a recent number
of the Madisonian, referring to irregulari-
ties practiced by the assessor of Gallatin
county.
The grand jury Of Gallatin county, on
examining the assessors books, did not
in its official capacity, cast any doubt
upon the honesty of the individual in
question; all the irregularities were found
which in my opinion must be assigned
to one of the two following reasons:
Ignorance of duty or discrimination,
either Of which eliminates the man, and
since the official is known to be person
Of some considerable attainments. it
would not be plausible for him to be ex-
cused on the plea of ignorance.
In the opinion of many the only theory
that can be established as truth is that
the assessor used discrimination in his
work, connected with a criminal nesli-
gence of duty.
The following are some of the irregl-
larities: A large number of well known
and prominent business firms and indi-
viduals have not been listed in the assess
ment. Many lists contain no date what
ever, omitted post-office addresses and
failed to give the ages of parties assessed
City additions, subdivided into lots were
listed at unreascnably low prices per
acre. Certain property assessed at less
than one-siXth of its true value, while
neighboring property was assessed at its
full value, and in many instances the
tax more than doubled on property
which instead of increasing in value had
really deprecated.
If it is improper even to censure a man
for such work, the tax payers of Gallatin
county are surely in lamentable condi-
ton and should right themselves by the
execution of summary justice upon the
official Stun which has gathered in some
of the county departments. H.

TALES FOR THE MARINES.

Walker county GA Messenger:
Last month, when w. w. S. Myers was
tearing away an old fence, just as he
had get it nearly down, he discovered
that his foot was separated from for
midable locking rattlesnake by single
rail. 1t was promptly killed, and meas
ured forty-siX inches, and sported I'VE
rattles.
Walker county Ca Messenger:
Archie Reed was at work last week on
his place near Nillanow. His dog treed
something, and when Reed Investigated
the matter he found that it was full
grown rattlesnake. He killed 1t, and
went back to his work. In about an
hour he was called back again by his
dog, who had discovered the mate OF
the first snake. 1t was easily killed, as
il was burdened with an almost full
grown rabbit that it had partly swal-
lowed.

Among the birds he found chicken
snake five feet long. He came down
the tree in a manner different from
what he expected, cut the tree down
and killed the snake.

ing, but Mr.. w. J. Page, being present,
said that last week he found similar
nest only fifty or sixty yards from his
house which had five hen eggs and six
partridge eggs. This looks very much
like these two species of fowls intended
to cOalesce. 1t shows very remarkable
neighborship, one We never heard of
before.
Dublin Ga Gazette: The most re-
markable phenomenon that we have
heard of in many day, or even
read of, is related us by Mr.. d. w.
Wyatt, ,Jr. The story is this: In one
of Mr.. Wyatt's fields, aud upon the
fence, a hooking bird had built her
nest. He noticed the tiny structure
from its beginning until the mother
bird had lain five wee eggs. Then the
setting period came, and Mr.. Wyatt
watched for developments. When the
time came for the Young to make their
appearance, Mr.. Wyatt gave the nest
daily visits, and one morning when he
visited it, he found that the nest con-
tanned four small mocking birds and
rat. Mr.. Wyatt was more than dumb
founded, and determined to watch.
The watching was kept up for week,
and when the mother bird would bring
food OF the nest was disturbed, the four
birds would open their little mouths to
receive the food, and the juvenile rat
would hold up its head and make
squeezing noise as if asking for its share
of food. AT last Mr.. Wyatt killed the
rat, and since that time the old bird has
assumed distressed attitude. When
she approaches the nest with food, for
several moments she will fly in circles
about the nest making all the time a
chipping noise as if in great distress.

What a Woman Did.

There resides in Sandwich man who
wears a crooked nose, caused by per-
sonal encounter with a female rebel
during the late war. He was in Sheri-
dams cavalry, and during one of that
Genersl's famous raids was with a
squad of men on foraging expedition
and visited fine mansion. The house
was locked, but young lady of about
eighteen years made her appearance,
to whom our hero made known his
errand, and assured her that if she un.
locked the door peaceably he would see
that the property was not unnecessarily
damaged, and reasonable amount of
provision should be left for her family.
She replied that the house belonged to
her family, and that no Yankee troop
ers could enter. He attempted to pass
her, when she dealt him terrible blow
with her first square on the nose, send.
ing him down the steps, and that use.

then entered by force.
