Paid to treasurer ae

Paid to treasurer ae
per proper vouchers, $5,20358
and we find that there is a balance
due city on taxes for 1888 to the
amount of $l8.17, which amount
has been placed on clerks book
and will come in his next report.
We find due on taxes for 1884
S514.62 and that the clerk is enti-
tied to an order passed to his
credit for S29744 as per order of
council at regular meeting, 22d
day of December, 1884, for amount
of 6axes remitted to council.
We cannot find any record kept
of the cemetery by which we can
refer to see who have bought lots
or who have paid for lots,ano find
from inquiry that all of the lots
used have not been returned to
clerk or treasurer with money for
the same. The cemetery COM
mittee or sexton having failed to
return said report, we cannot find
any record Of burials, on what lots
buried, what date or who buried.
We find provisions made for a fee
of five dollars for digging and
cleaning off graves which amount
is to be turned over to treasurer
or clerk. There have been some
burials in the cemetery since the
annual report in 1884. We find
no showing for any of the money
except SGT so for lots reported by
clerk. We recommend that the
next counci! look after this short
age, and that the sexton or ceme-
terry committee keep a record OF
burials and lots sold, also that the
clerk in receiving taxes shall en-
ter on tax books the names Of all
males inside of incorporation be-
tween the ages that are subject to
poll tax, whether they are proper
ty owners or not, also that the
council take steps at once
to collect from 7. r. Thornton,
former treasurer and his securities,
$6L86, the amount he still owes
the city; also that the clerk keep
ledger with proper headings
showing the expenses of the city,
all money paid out and received
and for what purposes; also that
no lumber be paid for unless or
dered by chairman of street COM
mittee in writing and then inspect
ed by some member Of said COM
mittee. We find the following
taxes due:
Leaving amount Of taxes due
for 1884, S514.62
Leaving amount of taxes due
for 1885, 1851
We further find no record OF
bondsmen either OF clerk or treas
urer.
After making above report we
have showing for the digging OF
the following graves:

recent excursion of the Ohio farm
ers to Georgia, in an interview Gf-
ter they had traversed portions of
the State around Atlanta, thus ex-
pressed himself to the Constitu-
ton:
"It's success oversteps my
hopes. In the first place [ found
100 people in Ohio anxious to
come to Georgia where l expect
ed to find one. I find fifty com
munities in Georgia anxious to en-
tertain the visitors, where I had
felt doubtful of finding one"
These visitors expressed them
selves as delighted with the eli
mate, the soil and the people of
Georgia. The next excursion will
be in January, sometime. Dir.
Estabrook advises those commu.
mites that will entertain excur-
sionists to communicate with the
Constitution between now and the
middle of January. OF these in
vltations the doctor says: "You
can send these invitations to me.
l Knew pretty we'll the character
of the soil in the State. [ will
take these invitations, and where
they are in the pine belt I will
send lumbermen to accept them.
Where they are in the mountains,
| will give it to men that want
that sort of territory. Where they
are III the cotton belt, l will send
men who want to grow cotton. /
am sure that if l eau get enough
invitations can bring at least d
thousand good people from Ohio.
One thing can assure the people
OF Georgia. | Will bring none but
worthy people;men who are in earn
est about seeking new homes, and
who have means with which to
purchase them. | believe 5000
people can be brought from the
northwest to Georgia within the
next few months"
We copy the above for the pur-
pose Of urging upon the business
men and property holders of Ter
rell county, Dawson, Bronwood,
Chlckasawhatchee and Dover the
Importance Of inviting some of the
next delegation from Ohio to visit

Our Is naturally the best farming
section Of Georgia, and all that is
needed to make it prosper and be-
come the most flourishing portion
OF the State is a few more progress
slve, live and experienced farmers.
With an industrious and thrifty
people inhabiting and cultivating
all the fertile lands in our county
now lying idle our town, county

none in prosperity and independ-
ence. Our growth would be re-
markable The opportunity now
presents itself for us to make q
grand stride in the march of
progress, and the JOURNAL would
suggest that our people come to-
gether en- masse at an early date
and make arrangements for invit-
ing the Ohioans here and entertain

first move in the matter?
Since the above was put in type

The Bainbridge Democrat says
about month ago Bullock
county man, who knew what it
was to 60 over day without sey-
eral drinks, happened to take ono
too much. He went out where no
one could see him and bowed his
head low to do the awful sick act.
An old lam, as mischievous as
wicked, saw the poor fellow, and
regarding it as an invitation to
play buttine, took running start
and then there was a crash SINH
lar to that Of two locomotives
coming together on the same track.
The man was picked up, and for o
week he shuddered at even the
thought of mutton. He swears
that he will always vote the pro-
hibition ticket now.

Mr.. JAMES r. RANDALL, Wash
ington correspondent Of the Au-
gusta Chronicle, speaking of the
huge bouquet sent to Senator
Blair, author of the Blair educa-
tin bill, by the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union says:
This is supposed t., be signfi-
cant MIR. Tillman thinks it por-
tends further agitation OF the is
sues mentioned in the verses; that
Congress will be again appealed
to; and that a desperate attempt
will be made by TIE repr blicans
to break the South's solidarity, by
batting the negro with prohibition
and the poor whites with free ed
ucation. Having got some of our
people started on the road to fa-
naticism in such shapes, the radi-
cal leaders look for wonderful re-
suits politically. They are iubi-
liant at the Atlanta contest, and
especially at that phase of it when
white women are reported to have
decorated black men with blue
ribbons.
