lines around his wrists, but the command
came TOO late. The horse dashed away at
a rapid rate, carrying tue boy and plOw

ANNUAL TAXES, 1886.
Analysis OF the Report Of the City Tax
Assessors.

FFOf3 tse Macon tNNsl AeoeNfNff@s
The report Of Messrs. L. II. Brown A.
p. Collins, aud j. G. Wheeler, city tax as
SCISSORS, submitted to the City Council at
the meeting ON Tuesday night last, con-
tains many interesting bits conformation.
As already stated, the net increase in
the value Of real estate during 1880 was
St4S, 265, and the net increase in personal
property 500. pos. making a total net IN
crease of $S41, 453. The increase in the
value OF real estate was principally due
to the new buildings and improvements,
The increase in the value OF personal
property was nearly all due to the greater
number and the more liberal returns OF
stocks and bonds and other securities and
solvent debts. and also to the increase OF
bank stock and that OF other companies.
Alphabetically arranged, the number OF
taxpayers under each letter Is as follows;
A, 80; b, 93S, g, 322; u, l2l; n, 90; +,

whole property in the city is S9,h5 6I2.
The total amount Of taxes is $l26,62S 81.
In 1885, the total amount OF taxes was

Building WAS not very active In Macon
last year. 1t is true that a large number
of buildings We're erected, but they were
chiefly OF a cheap character. Many OF
them were worklngmen's cottages and
small tenement houses. A noticeable
thing about the population of Macon is
that few people are without homes of their
own. Macon is not city OF b0arders, but
IL is city where people, as rule, spend
their leisure hours beneath their own vine
and fig tree.
With regard to the outlook for building
Improvements for 1886, IL is very prOmis-
ing. All the architects are busy with
plans for new houses; and, besides a large
number of small residences to be erected,
some very handsome and costly homes
will be built before the end Of the year.
IL is probable, also, that the erection Of
the government building will be com
menced. Besides the new Ice factory and
| the Central railroad cotton compress, sew
eral other manufacturing enterprises are
under consideration. IL has been post
! lively stated, also, that the East Tonnes
see, Virginia and Georgia railroad will
erect new depots.
| There is nothing mushroom about the
growth OF Macon. IL is somewhat slow,
| but is always substantial. A more solid
city, in every respect, cannot be found in
the state. All the signs point TO 1t as the
coming city of Georgia, and the people
within It's borders are hopeful and vigil
