WHAT SAYS Mr.. wHEEIockg

The settlers on the land grant
of the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Texas railroad, who are now and
have been prior to Jan. /, 1885, on
said lands outside of half mile
from the track, and not within the
limits Of any city or village, have
been given notice by the railroad
company to the effect that any of
said settlers can come forward any
time within year from July, 1885,
and obtain titles to lands occupied
by them, at the rate of 81 per acre
one-third cash, balance in one and
two years. These terms are a great
deal more liberal than those offered
by Mr.. Wheelock to settlers in this
section, and we think his company
could make the same offer to our
people with great profit to the COM
pany and benefit to many deserv-
ing cltlzens.
Under the terms advertised by
the N. .. Pacific only those set
tiers occupying lands on the 4th
day of January, 1884. are entitled
to the right TO purchase at " per
acre. one-third cash, balance IN one
and two years with SIX per cent

The nomenclature Of several pla-
ces in this State is misleading to
any one not acquainted with the
peculiar condition Of things, and
should be changed. For instance,
we have the town of Arcadia in the
northern part of the State, and are
to have the parish Of Acadia in the
southern portion Of the State; there
is the parish of Plaquenines, and
then the town Of Plaquemine in
Iberville parish; the parish Of
Vernon, and Vernon in Lincoln
parish; then we have Homer in
Claiborne parish and Houma in
Terrebonne parish, etc, etc Let
this confusion caused by similari-
ty of names be remedied BY q SEN
sible move like that made by the
people of Lafayette, who used to
be annoyed by strangers naturally
supposings that their town of YER
millionville was in the parish Of
Vermillion. whereas it was in the
parish Of Lafayette. 's

a Model Settlement With the State
Auditor.

Capt. P. NJ. B. Wait, tax collector of
Tate county, made his appearance on
yesterday and bears away the honor
that there is in Icing the first Sheriff in
the State to make his final settlement.
1t will be remembered that Gov
Lowry, in bis last message, pointed out
that Tate county lands were assessed at
an average valuation of $500 PEI acre
far higher than the lands of any other
county in the State. Nothwithsts nding
this high valuation the State tax on
lands sold for non-payment of taxes
only amounted to 1924, and the total
tax on lands held by the State in that
county is S715. These losses. amounting
to 50 80, we're more than made up to the
State by taxes collected on additional
assessments-S52.S 2-made by this model
sheriff; the result being thaton State tax
the State has received the whole amount
assessed and $43.43 over, less the usual
commission. In this county about $500
polls are assessed, and the tax on all
these except 491 have been collected and
paid over. This, too, in county with
a large black majority. In our opinion
Tate county has right to be proud of
this officer who is now in his third term
as sheriff. These facts are also an ex-
emplary showing for the county, which
bears the proud distinction of havisg,
by the assessment rolls, the most valu-
able lands in the State.

TIE Appropriation Bill was finally con.
sidered in the House Monday night. The
appropriation for A. & NJ. College was
raised, on the motion of Mr.. Rowan, to
$25, 10000, which, with interest on the
Land Scrip Fund, makes the total sup
port for each year, S29,92S.75. The ap.
preparation Tor Girls College was fixed
at same amount, which includes support
Gnd Improvements. This was on the
motion of Mr.. Summer, of Marion, and
was carried by decided msjority. The
appropriation of 100000 heretofore
made to the Normal Colored School at
Holly Springs will be paid TO colored
schools at Clinton and Natchez, less
amount due the teachers of the Normal
School.
