"Tax Executions Issued." u
t
Editor Tut. 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

Taxahaw DoU.
Mk. Editor:?Please allow me
space in your valuable paper for
t few dots from this part of this
inrthly sphere.
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.
STOItV OF A SLAVE
To be bound hand and foot for
Bars by the chains of disease is

lis how such h slave was ntadc
eo. He says: 4'My wife has
?en so helpless for five years
ist she could not turn over in
id alone. After using two botes
of Electric Bitters, she is
onderfully improved and able
i do her own work." This
ipreme remedy for female dis- ,
ise quickly cures nervousness,
eeplessness, melancholy, head- (

edicine is a godsend te weak,
ckly, run down people. Every
