Ledger:?Your u notice in Saturday's paper con? t cernmg the tax execution contains i a statement which, while approxi- i mntelv correct, might possibly tie t misunderstood tiy some?might t tie thought to mean tliHt the Audi j tor had in some measure neglected < his duty and that the Treasurer had overdone his in col.ecting j taxes without authority, so with ( your permission I will endeavor ] to make said statement clearer. The Troasurcr'hasinot collected | $300.00, or any tutu whatever, i more than was on the Auditor's < books; though he has collected $300.00?to be exact,'*341.71 ? j more than was on? the Auditor's books as originally madeQup?and | that is whut urn. meant in your ' statement. i The Auditor's hooks when made j up and turned over to the Treas- ] urer called for? $43,486.54, and i the Treasurer receipted him for ( that amount. But that did not 1 represent all the taxes to be col- \ lected. Many people, and es- , pecially among tho colored popu- < lation, do not mr.ke their return i at the proper time; they wait tin- i til tho lime fori.the payment of \ taxes and make their return then, and these returns are charged up * to tho Treasurer by the Auditor ( an ''additional*"?so that all tax 1 h c* are, and must be, on the Audi- J ^ tor's books. The <'additional^'' j this year, according to the Audi- |f tor's additional abstract, amount- j ?d to $708.32, for which also the j Treasurer has to ?givo a receipt; which "additionals" when added c I to the originalQabstract, amounts j j to $45,194.86. The collection to 1 c J date amounts to $43,828.20, mak- ^ ing, as I said at the outset, $341.- 1 1 71 more than the hist abstract a called for, and leaving a balance a nf iitan a A II--X - 1 vuuu.uu iiucuiiecieii. 1* \V.

Owing to the continued cold ind wet weather, farm work has >een progressing voiy slowly and is usual some fanners begin to hink that if they have to wait nueh longer that they will not nako a crop this year. But 1 hink that if all will be patient, hat soon we will hear the :amiliar sounds of "geeM and D 'haw" from all quarters. The health of the village is rood at present, thoro not being a single case of sickness to my knowledge, in the community. By the way Taxahaw is one of the healthiest places in the State. It boinir so healthv that thnr? 5n c? *,4*x/4 v uv'v bven a ph ysiciao located in our prosperousatown ami the nearest is from seven tojeight miles away. Taxahaw was honoied by a most charming procession from Tradesville, 'passing along our streets on the 11>th inst, en route i for "Taxahaw's wonder" the1 Forty A.cre Rock, and from their [lumber and equipment, I would I my that fhey were destined to' bave a grand and most enjoyable Lime, and finding from the rate iome of the party were traveling in their homeward journey, I would saytthat they were loath to iart from the beauty and attrac.ivsness of?Taxahaw. The Debating Society at this ilace is now in a flourishing conlition. The young people of the ichool and community attend rery regular, and display their ntellectual powers in a most doquentj entertaining and amusng manner to their always j pireciat've hearers. Taxahawds up-to-date in almost iverything that goes to make a irosperou6 country and prosper | )us town. When we spsak of 'oung people we find that Taxalaw has many as nice young men is any place of its size. They ,re recognized in the highest anks of society, from all quarters f ths globe. Some go to see Tabernacle's fair daughters some | o Flat Creek, some to tradesville J nd to many other points. Like- j vise the young ladies of this ilacs attract the young dudes! rom many different places, but specially from Flat Creek section nd White Bluff. I hope the oung ladies will not blush when ' hey read this,as those young men j re too nice t.> blush about. Miss Hnttie McMunus and also j er brother, Mr Samuel McNianusi f Camden, paid a Hying visit to J riends and relatives here, last | aturday utid Sunday. They re- I iirned home Monday. Mr. II B Lowry, son of Mr. 'rank Lowry, one of Taxahaw's lost promising young men, left ist Wednesday for Monroe, N C, here be expects to make his nmo in the future. We wish im abundant success wherever ? goes. Heapedfully, Sand-lappor.
