Tax ordinance was reported by B. W. Rowland, chairman of committee on taxation, and adopted by the council. The tota1 ad valorem tax levied, including the subsidy tax is eighty three cents on each one hundred dol1ars. The occupation tax was fixed at one-half the state tax on each occupation. A tax of $1 per querter was imposed upon shoe blacks. The street tax was fixed at six days work or $4 in money. 2. A petition of sixty property tax not exceeding 1/2 of one percent, for public free school purposes, was presented, and an ordinance passed ordering an election for said purpose on the 15th day of August, 1882. 3. The pay roll of officers was presented with sundry other accounts, and drafts ordered; the total amount being $418. 4. Marshall's report which shows fines collected for June $1O4, and $16 on balance left over from May. Credit by amount of fines remitted by order of council, $14. Total amount collected, $106. Fines uncollected $102.5O; Fines worked out on streets $78, Fines served out in calaboose, $51; Balance due city, $171. -------------------------------------------------------------------- A MEDAL: It will be remembered that a few weeks since a number of the young ladies and girls of Charnwood Institute competed in elocution, and Miss Laura Mathews of Lindale, was one among the number. Miss Laura received a medal for deportment in school, yet her friends thought she deserved something for the masterly effort she made in this contest and prompted by a spirit of generosity, made up among themselves, a good sum of money and sent to Philddelphia for a nice medal. It has been received and it is reel nice--something extra. It will be presented to Miss Mathews at an early date. -------------------------------------------------------------------- WATER WORKS: Prospects are still brightening for water works for Tyler. The com- mittee that visited Palestine for the purpose of examining that system of water works, have returned and report favorably. The mayor with the city engineer will review the Niblack lake In a few deys for the purpose of determining the probability of utilizing the water by an efficient system of piping. A proposition will doubtless be submitted to the citizens of Tyler in a few days, after which we can tell to a certainty whether Tyler will or will not have water works. Should this enterprise be secured we are confident that the populetlon would be double what it is now, in less than five years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASANT HILL ITEMS: The health of our community is good at this time. The long expected rain has come at last and farmers are now rejoicing. The crops of this neighborhood ere exceedingly good. The first plantlng of corn is firing some. Cotton generally has not suffered any for rain, it havlng only been four weeks since the last rain. On Saturday evening last three officers left Tyler well armed for the arrest of e Negro man who had knocked a white man in the head with a rock on the night of the 4th, in the city of Tyler, about 12 oclock that night. Saturday the posse met W. H. and J. P. Messer, three miles from town. The posse asked if that was the Whitehouse road. They informed them that it was, but they were going the wrong way to Whltehouse, knowing they had been riding very hard about five hours asked how far it was to Tyler. Being told only three miles, they asked among themselves the questions, where have we been, but they could only say we have been lost. On Sunday evening about dark the posse was met with the Negro bound for jail. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The croquet playing at the mill Saturday evenings is nice. The protracted meeting at Macedonia closed last Sunday. Mr. Joe Duety, Mrs. Helen Hill, and Mrs. Mary Cornellson, a11 of Cherokee County, has been spending a few deys here with relatives and friends. The Sunday school is in a thriving condition now, and we are glad to note the fact. --------------------------------------------------------------------- COLORED VOTERS SPEAK:- To Mr. John F. Anderson, colored citizen, residing in Smith County, Tex Slr:--Wherees It has been seventeen years since we were made franchise citizens, with the privilege of casting our votes at the ballot box, and, whereas, during said time the republican party of Smith county has never honored its ticket with the name of one of its colored citizens, and, whereas, it is high time to begin to look after that particular right of colored citizens, and, wherees, knowing that this is the sense of the republicen party of Smith county, and, whereas, believing you to be a true republicen, well qualified for the position, and one who would reflect credit upon yourself and respect for the district, If elected, we therefore take a great pleasure in announclng your name as a candidate for the office of representative from Smith county at the November, election, 1882.

In the decade between 1870 and 1880 all other domestic animals increased from 24 to 90 percent. It is only in those places where there was land to plough for the first time and the ruder stages of cultivation were practiced that the ox has increased. Beef cattle here now sell at from two to three cents a pound. The market is very well supplied, but their condition is not first class. -------------------------------------------------------------- GRANT was crippled in a railroad collision recently and it is said he can not recover damages from the fact that he was riding on a free pass, another gift he could not refuse. Marshall Messenger. -------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL NEWS:- The town of Temple, Bell County, one year old, has a population of 1,400.
