 DEAR SIR:

J. F. Munday, Esq, Editor Rus sellville DEMOCRAT,
 DEAR SIR:
 To the above communication which you have referred to me, with request that I answer it, have to say: Sec. tion of the Revenue Act of 1883, provides that Gall property, whether real or personal, in this state, x shall be subject to taxation x * and such property shall be entered on the' list of taxable property for that purpose"
 SEC. 13, requires every person of full age and sound mind to ''list the personal property of which he is the owner," &c.
 SEC. 19 provides that leach person required to list property shall make out and deliver to the assessor, a statement verified by his oath or affirmation, of all the personal prop erty t in his possession or un- der his control on the first Monday in February of each year, and which he is required to list for taxation, '&c.
 SEC. l, defines personal property "to mean and include every tangible thing being the subject of ownership whether animate or inanimate-other than money," &c., (money, also tax able, is defined in another part of the same section).
 Now. unqnestionably, meat and corn being "tangible' and "the sub ject of ownership" all "personap property. and under provisions of the sections above cited are required to be listed, assessed and taxed, un- less it can be found that they are specially exempted.
 SEC. ' provides what property shall be exempt. The section is too long to quote here, but meat and corn, (nor anything of the kind are not included in the exemptions, either directly or indirectly. This section ', is based upon and, almost, in tue language of Sec. 5, Art. l6, of tue Constitution, and Sec. 6. Art. I6 of the Constitution provides, "That all laws exempting property from taxation other than as provided in this Constitution shall be void"
 The foregoing is as explicit as the

Correspondence of the Democrat. Work is being pushed with vim by the farmers.
 Everybody except the lawyers seem lively.
 Wheat and oats are looking wcll in this vicinity.
 Prof. H. l.. Rayburn has become citizen of this place. The Doyerites were rather partic- ular where they walked Friday. Whipporwills are amusing early risers with their morning music. Considcrable.frost was visible here Monday and Tuesday mornings. It is not thought that it injured the fruit.
 We have discovered an ice house near the lake where we expect to cool our burning thirst during the expectant hot days.
 MT. w. c. Renfrow says he is a candidate for re- election to the de putty clerkship. We move his cleo tion be made unanimous.
 Aunt Patience Davis (col. ] who lived on Piney died few days ago aged over one hundred years. She was certainly the oldest lnbabitant.
 The grand jury adjourned the 11th inst, having found twenty-slx true bills. We will rejoice amidst the eloquent wailings of idle lawyers when litigation entirely ceases.
 From the record books we learn five hundred and sixty-two mort gages have been executed this year. A rather bad showing considering this is the B. of Els. year.
 On visiting Dover Bro. Gill will find we left very good impression, unless he mistakes our tracks for for some Of the lawyers flor which ve never could consent to forgive him.
 A rather serious and painful acci- dent happened to Frank Murphey Tuesday morning as he was coming to town. From some cause his mule started to run with him and turned his saddle to one side and his foot hanged in the saddle and dragged him a short distance to where he came into collision with tree which inflicted on him several very painful injuries about the head and shoul- ders.
 For favors shown us while in Dover we are indebted to Messrs. R. B. Hogins, w. c. Howard, P. J. Hollow, Van Tonlinson, James Potts, w. c. Renfrow and others. May the joys they love best constantly hover around them. CAro.

political crceds, and so long as this is the case we had best let politics alone, for we afe jealous of each other, and must confess some of us have . right 10 be afraid of each other politically. For all political parties will bear watching, and there fore Lthink it indispensably neces- sary to have two parties, that they may watch each other and thereby purify both parties and force them to put forth their best men for office. Now B. of F., both democrats and re- publicans, let us not suffer ourselves misled by disorganizers nor broke down politicians, but rather come to the front and stand to your. party like honorable men, and contend for what you believe to be right, ard if you are convinced that you are wrong repent and be baptized and go with the other party, for there are but two parties. l am by that like am by man being sinner until convicted and converted and made christian by regeneration. Such a thing as three political parties is absurd. know some clam three, and some of our. Brothers wanted to start fourth party, though I think they are convicted republicans, though have not yet been converted, and until they are converted they are lost, for after conviction eff repup- lican the republican party will not have anything to do with him, and the democrats will not have him un- til he is converted (and the same of democrats). And now brothers, if you will sift them out you will find all those who want to run politics into the order, are of that kind, or in other words, they are neither pig nor puppy. I am proud to say the proceedings of the council was to the full satisfaction of all the members of the council save Bros. Mayo and Gill, and fear they are of those con victed republicans, and think that both parties are better off without these two brothers. Now Brother, If you have some men spotted for an office bring them out subject to the l primary election or a nominating convention and let them take their chances in common with other men of their parties, and if any officer fails to perform the functions of his office, report him and have him re- moved at once. Now for my part l am satisfied with one exception, I would like to see Pope county rep resented ono time more by farmer, and would respectfully solicit Bro. Jo. Howard of Martin township, to represent us in the next legislature, feeling satisfied the interests of the farmers would be safe in hls hands.
 I could make a full slate, though, as this is all that can in anvwise affect our laws, I think this is enough at present, for as to county officers they are simply executors of the law and not makers.

Correspondence of the Democrat.
 The school at this place, taught by Prof. and Mrs. Kuhn, closed on the 18th inst, with public examination in day, and entertainment at night.
 The very small children were ex. amined first. It was truly refresh ing to see their tiny forms and bright faces, as they spelled so exactly, al ways giving the proper sounds .oi the letters. Then they read in the lst Reader, pronouncing admirably, and paying due attention to pune. tuation, able to designate the points, and even spell comma, semIcolon etc,
 There were two classes in spelling. Besides putting the letters together properly, they were able to tell what letter is, Q syllable, a word, how many letters, what vowel is, give the different sounds of letters, spell their own names, and the days of the week, and so on.
 Two classes m 2nd Reader, one just beginning. Three Geography classes, three Grammar classes, ranging from the beginning of Clark's lst Grammar, to about the class of Normal.
 These exercises took up the fore noon and interspersed with music on the organ by some of the young ladies of the school, led by Mrs. Kuhn.
 In the p. m. there were several Arithmetic classes, Algebra, Latin and speeches by the smaller boys and girls. A class sang the multi plicat:on table to the tune of Yankee Doodle (minus the doodle, and q class of g rccited the Lords Prayer in concert.
 All did well, the exercises were cx- ceedingly interesting; and we feel sure that the spectators did not re grct leaving their work, pressing as it was, to witness the evidence ef the students progress.
