~Tax Collector Davis will have everything in readiness for the collection of 
taxes by Sept. 10th. His books will be ready and open on or about that date.

~Col. Livingston is as good as in the race for governor, and he says if he

better look to his farmers.- Aug. News.

~Col. W. M. Jordan, of the popular firm of Jordan & Smith, cotton factors, of 
Augusta, gave us a pleasant call Tuesday. This firm is in full sympathy with 
the farmers and is thoroughly reliable in every particular. Send them your 
cotton.

~Mr. George Stanton, of Brick Store district, brought in a few stalks of cotton 
Monday, that was badly eaten by the caterpillars. We hear he has 200 acres of 
cotton that has been almost stripped of its leaves by the worms.

~When the Macon Telegraph asked Col. Livingston if he would be a candidate for 
Governor, he replied: “I can’t say now, but I can say that if I do announce 
myself, I will go in to win, and with every assurance of success.”

~President Candler, of Emory College, has our thanks for a copy of his great 
speech on Higher Education, delivered in the Hall of the House of 
Representatives on July 23rd. Prof. C. C. Cody, of Georgetown, Texas, will also 
accept thanks for valuable documents sent.

~For the past two weeks Rev. Chas. Lane, of Atlanta, has been assisting Rev. W. 
H. LaPrade in a series of meetings which have been, and are now being daily 
held at the Methodist Church here. He has preached many earnest, forcible, soul 
inspiring sermons, which warmed the church and put men to thinking about the 
salvation of their souls. He will be with us only a few days longer. Suppose 
you go out and hear him, it may and doubtless will do you good.
