The practice of sending home capital to further enrich already wealthy and plethoric Northern corporations is about played out. Every cent fro have we need right here, and more too. Millions of dollars are sent North evoy year for tho single item of life insurance?all of which could he iu'vosted hero to the groat advantage of every interest oi our section?both commercial and agricultural. Entertaining thoso views wo were very glad to Bee in Town last week, Col. A. It. Waring and Jas. H. Randall, Esq., who visited us in the interest of the Southern Life Insurance Association, one of the staunchest and most reliable Insurance Companies in the South. These gem lernen wrote policies for some of our leading oitizous, by whom a meeting was called and local Trustees elected to look after the interests of the Company in this County. We desire to call particular attention to their advertisement which appears in another column. ICE? In large or small quantities, at J H W?hlers Enterprise Saloon, at only three cents a pound. Think of a fat man et dome 250 lbs avoirdupois cooling himself for 3 cents! Why, its at the rate of ucarly a hundred pounds for a cent! Those who can't ta*Te off their flesh ind ait in their bones of a hot day, us Siduey Smith advisod, will do well to Call straightway at tho Enter prise. AUDITOR'S OfPlCB? The following will givo some idea of the amount of labor annually performed iri live TJetmty Anditot's Office ; 1st. Tlrerc afe abortt seven thousand tax-rrayoVx in this County, whose re*poc tives "auntes haVc'to bo ttart^tfWd three separate firms before tbe payment of tax cm ,cctiitW!rfce&. 2d4 The real and personal property's catered in items, ah I tho valfto oi' each' item is entered in designated coin.mi* opposite eae** taxpayer's name, the last column showing the total auiouut of thu different items of real property and their values. 3d. The "Auditor's duplicate" con j tains sixty columns to oaoh taxpayer's name Which are filled by the various kinds of property and the ditfjreut tax levies, such us State, County, School tax Jbo. -Ith. In making up Ute books prcpara tery to collecting taxe?, forty five columns is an average number requited for tho name of each taxpayer, aud when it is considered that these ?aCriefi ha?'e to be three times made it will bo readily seen that the labor mast be im mense. Nor is this half. Now com ;s the work of adding up and correctly footing each 'column, making out four separate kinds of tux agniust oach tax payer, and fealauci-ig the amount of as-, sessmeuts, with reference to tbe various tux levies. 6th. The County Auditor is c* officio Secretary of tlio Hoard of E puliza tion aud has to perform the clerical ..ork of that Board, which is uddiug to, or taking from, each item of property as the Hoard may direct, and is equal, in amount of labor, to makiug the original assess in out. Iu addition to these services he has to make the assess meufc of the real and personal property in tho County for which he receive* ?1000. This work formerly required 24 assessors at an expeuse of between 930 ?0 and $4000. Beside performing all theso ardujus duties he serves without compensation as a member of tho Board of Jury Com ? missioners, and does a hundred aud one other things incident to tho office. James Van Tassel, 3<q., our present County Auditor, has occupied that im portant effico since the lall of 1868, except for a short interval of five months, and we know of no person in tbe County better fitted for the position The new postal law, which goes into Operation on the first day of next month., prevents the free trans utssiot of news paper exchanges, and compels tho pay* meat of postage upon newspapers, oven wlvon published in the county within which the subscriber resides. Lette:t addressed to initials, or to a bey, are not obliged to be delivered by the postmas ters. These points arc worthy tbe attention or our readers. AllK AbVKlU'lSJSMENTS It KAU ??Iu tin; course of a spicy article, answering tho question, the Mobile Register says: "If any man affects to believe that adver tisoments are not read, let him advertise that he wants to buy a dog, for iustance. If he is not furnished with every variety of animated sausage that morning before breakfast, and, besides, with.one or two Sound grounds for suits against him for assault we will break our golden rule nod deadhead his advertisement. And it is fair to infer that any man who wants to sell a dog aho wishes to buy something with tho proceeds of his canine venture. Aud so up to the man who wishes to sell his cargo, that he may buy a cargo of Western produce." DisoTBION About Deuts.?The Su preme Court of Tennosseo has rendered a decision which aunouuees a now rule in regard to acknowledgments of debt. Heretofore it has been accepted as law that, where a payment hud been ma le upon a note, such payment took the in strument out of the statute of limitations. According to tho late decision, no note can now be collcotcd after six years, on tho ground that partial payment bus bee n mode. The payment is to be considered as an acknowlcdgmen pro tan(ot aad not for the entire debt. ?>??-? Sam Edwards met with a serious loss in n novel and astonishing way last Week.
