An exchange says:
An audience that taxed the capacity of the
Opera House welcomed Germans Minstrels
last evening. The aim of the Germans Is to
lead in minstrelsy, and their record before

they have been prominently successful.

success and following the policy pursued by
many minstrel organizations of travelling
upon reputation secured in the past, but are
constantly on the alert to secure novel fea-
lures that will add to the attractiveness of
the programme and secure the continued sup
port OF the amusement public.
The company will produce the parody on

Catching RattIesnakes for OIL.

There are places in South Georgia where
men extract oil from the rattlesnake and use
1t to cure rheumatism. These persons will
give negro 81 to point out rattlesnake to
them, and then they kill it in a peculiar man
ner. says the Atlanta Constitution. Thew
place forked stick over the snakes head.
lhen put a cord around 1t and strangle the
snake. This is done to keep the AXE from
biting itself. The body of the reptile is then
strung up, and the oil extracted from it. 1t
sells at w per ounce. and the industry ia
very profitable one. The snakes in that sec
tion are very large, averaging five feet in
length, and one RATHER gives up a great deal
of oil. A little negro once saw two rattlers
lying close together, and wanted to gel the
money for finding them. 1t was a mile to
the nearest house. He was afraid the snakes
would crawl off while he was gone. and so
he took off his coat and placed it between
them. He went off, came back and found
them still cycling the coat. He had them
charmed. So the snake is cultivated there
as profitable industry.

Saturday the assessors finished their labor
of fixing the valuation and tax rate for $780,
81. The estimated valuation is S35, $40, 900,
an increase of about one million dollars over
1SS9-9O. The increase of 1SS9-9O over 1SSS-S9
was $54s,OOo, and of 1SSS-S9 over 1888 was
$320.365. The tax rate for this year will be
$3.50 as against $40 for last year, and 5000
the year previous, and $21 the year before
that The gain in personal property has
been more marked this year than in real es.
