We do not know who the old board are, nor do we cast ary reflection upon them, but now that the City must take the State’s as sessment, it becomes necessary that men be appointed on this board, whe, without fear or favor, will assess every man’s property at a fair valuation. Lots, eight to the acre, are assessed at $40 per acre that can't be bought at $300 per lot. Do away with tnis acre business except as to ngr cultural lauds lying on the ou - skirts of the City, assess by lote, and assess at something near the price asked. Some of our moi- chants are returning stock at ri diculous figures, compared with their advertisements and the show they make in their stores, and many of our people are con cealing property that ought 10 be taxed. Our rate of taxation is a bar to our expansion, and it can be materially reduced if property of all kinds, subject to taxation, is made to b«ar its just propor tion. This is not a question of politics, but of sound business, and we want a Board of Assessors who will act upon business prin ciples, for the good of the w GOLD IN GEORGIA. ■xcltomaut tlis Olaoovery of cb\elu».

Mr. Bailey woe sixty three year# old at the time of hie death. He was widely connected through this country and there are many to mourn bis taking off. He was a brother of Mr. Gadi Bailey and Mrs. Martha Reddick of Florence and of Messrs Joel, John and Jonas Bailey, of M»rs Bluff, and of Miss Nancy Bailey, of Clauassn. At the time of his death Mr. Bailey was a member of the Meth odist church. On Monday before bis death he expressed a desire to speak with Rev. A. E. Bailey, of Texas, who was visiting him. He asked to be baptised and taken into the church. Thia was done and he assured the minister and friends that he felt resigned to God’s will and had a firm faith in his Savior. Four years of service for his be loved South-Land rendered on the hillsides and in the valleys of Vir ginia endeared the departed sold ier to all those who honor the banner that is furled. The hope and faith of his last days sweetens the sorrow of these who mourn with a prospect of a glad reunion “on the other side.” After taking inventory of stock we find we have too much winter clothing, and in order to reduce oar stock, we now offer $10, $12,- 50 and $15 suite for $7.50.

Judge Morris, of Tennessee, who is tunnelling a mountain near here, struck three rich veius which run from $29 to $500. All thie ore is aprolite or partly decom posed and easily mined. The belt is of great length. The Creighton mine, on one of these veins, 25 miles southwest of here, yielded 68,000 pennyweights last year and the capacity is to be doubled. Pope & Dye at Holly Springs are’ said to have taken out $40,000 in the last few months, using a 10- stamp mill. Prospectors from South Africa say that this belt is full of mines richer than th# famous Robinson mine, and they all say that this is destined to be a wond(-rfol mining camp. The whole section is wild with excitement, because the more the development work gees on the greater are the results. Veins which are mere ribbons on the surface run together at varying depths and widen out to 10, 50 and 100 feet, with increasing rich ness as they go down.
