HORSE MARKET STRONGER

New York, May 30.-The notable re-
vival of the horse trade here and in
other large cities IL becoming a matter
Of much comment. The public sales
stables are having an unusually large
attendance. with prompt demand for
fair-priced and more expensive ami
mails.
A scarcity of horses helps to account
for the strong conditions of the trade.
The South African war drew away from
this country fully $4,000 head, but q
strong reason for the diminished sup
ply is the apathy Of many farm breed
ers. who fancied, with host Of others,
that the coming Of electric or other
motor power for vehicles would put an
end to the demand for horses. This
has materially reduced rearing, and,
consequently, stocks have run down in
q wide area OF farm districts, while
town supplies have become perceptibly
worn out with use.
All prime, sound horses Of proper
age are fully 80 per cent higher than
they were three years ago.

A TOWN WITHOUT TAXES.
No Tribute Exacted of BrOnwood
Citizens for Town Government.

Brentwood is perhaps the only incor-
porated town in the state where there
are assessed no advalorem taxes. And
it is probable, we understand, that
even street taxes will no longer be in
vogue there.
The cause of this absence of taxes is
easily explained by the presence of a
dispensary in the town, from which
Bronwood gets half the profits and de-
rives nearly all of its income.

MANY MARRIAGES IN 1000.
Ordinary Roberts Sold Dos liz
Censes During the Year.

-
The year just closed was one of an
large number of marriages
in Terrell county, Judge Roberts did
a fine business in this line, selling 295
licenses, 63 of which were issued to
whites and 232 to negroes. The high
water mark was reached December %,
when he sold an even dozen.
The numerous marriages among the
colored element is attributed to the
fact that they all made more money
the past year than in some time and
are now able to buy licenses and sup
port a family. Still, large number
of whites have dealt in the marriage
license stock, and many happy unions
