MayMwlw RAILWAY TAXATftON. Midland Behind Wa- baan Owes The companies operating railways run- ing through Macon county pay, expected to pay a considerable amount of taxes, and they foot up about $15,000 annually. The total railway taxation for the year of 1882 amounts to $14,412,88. Below we give the equalized assessment for each road for 1882 as it appears upon the books in the treasurer's office. W.

They have paid $172, and when this amount was handed in, it was intimated that that was all the county would get out of the company, meaning no doubt that the disputed question would have to be settled in the court.

Heretofore the company has annually grumbled at the charges, but each year after much kicking, the taxes were paid, and possibly it may result flie same way again this year. Corporations like individuals should pay their taxes promptly. Business is business. A New Real Estate Firm. Barton S.

These gentlemen who are careful business men will branch out an the real estate trade on a large scale, and by strict attention to all matters entrusted to their management, they hope to make the office a permanent and paying enterprise. Success to them. Prof. Black- Eight Professor Black delivered another powerful discourse at the Christian church last night.

His text was li, 8,9,10, "By Grace are yon saved through Faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift He defined grace from its Latin root to mean "favor," from the Greek to mean "kindness," hence grace is the favor and kindness of God. The autioedent of "it" in the text is grace not faith. True faith is in some sense the gift of God. The means to obtain faith are by God. Grace is the divine part, while faith and obedience are the human part in salvation.

It is said iu the Bible, we are saved by faith, saved by grace, saved by the blood of Christ, saved by Baptism, saved by Hope, saved by works, but nowhere is the word 'alone'' or "only" added in connection with either of these means, of salvation. Hence he concluded that all these together were indispensably necessary to salvatiou. At the conclusion seven or eight were baptised, one conversion and oue received by letter; others will be bap- tised this evening. The theme for this evening will be "Religions Sentiment and Christian Principle." Last evening the church was tilled with an attentive cou- Mrss DOHA TIMMONS, aged 9 years, died at Niautic on the second iust.

W. WUtfoT EUs-Ww- Lectura at tbe Opjwt HOUM loot Nlgnt. Cot P. W. Wilcox, familiarly known as the "Mendota Carpenter," present aer- geant-at-arms ot the Illinois senate, delivered his celebrated lecture, "Four Years with- Sherman," at the opera house last night, under the auspices and for the benefit of Dnnham Post, No.

141, G. A. this city. The Colonel, accompanied by Capt. Mack and Capt.

Bobbins, arrived in the city from Springfield-at "o'clock, and the party, with the deception committee, was conveyed in an open carriage from the train to the Palace hotel, where the visitors were royally entertained. The lecturer was escorted from the hotel to the opera house by the Grand Army of the Republic band, which played several selections at the entrance ot the hall while the people were gathering inside. The only decoration ot the stage for the occasion--all that was necessary--was a pair of looped stars and stripes at the rear. Those occupying the stage with the lecturer were Captain R. P.

Lytle, Major G. B. Steele, Captain J. M. Blythe, Captain 3.

Barnes and Comrade D. M. Berlin. A fair-sized and highly-appreciative audience had assembled, and after the band had played "Marching Through Georgia," the music of a song made immortal by Sherman's famous march to the sea, Col. Wilcox was introduced by Major Steele.

The Colonel, who is a fine-looking gentleman, in the prime of his life, was received with general applause. He spoke for an hour and a half without notes, delivering a very entertaining, instructive, eloquent and patriotic lecture. He lived at Fairfield, Iowa, on April 14, 1861, when Fort Sumner was fired upon by the rebels. It was the outbreak of the war, an eventful day in the history of the country. The news was received with sadness and indignation.

Business was suspended and there was a gloomy feeling everywhere. The Colonel was one of the 100 minute men sent from Iowa by Governor Kirkwood, and he re-enlisted in the 2d Iowa Infantry, which was mustered in at Benton Barracks, St. Louis. Here the lecturer described his rather amusing introduction to General Sherman. The triumphant march of the army, which sufi'ered defeat only once in the four years, and then Chickaaaw Bayou, was described partly in detail and in glowing words by the speaker, who was with the veterans from the time they started until they passed in the Grand Review at Washington at the close of the terrible struggle in 1865.

The battle of Shiloh was described at length. Sherman waa in the centre, McOlernard on the right, and Wallace on the left, and from daylight on that Sunday morning until four o'clock in the evening, the terrible fight waged with great fury, the Confederates out-numbering the Federals four to one. It was only by bravery that the old flag, with the help of the Tyler gunboat, and the death-dealing batteries of Col. Waterhonse, Capt. Sporr and Capt.

Mason, that the old flag was kept afloat. The coming of Waterhonse and Sporr's regular army batteries made it exceedingly lively for the Johnnies, and by the reinforcement of Basil's army the Federals won the battle of Shiloh. It was on Monday at about 12 o'clock that Colonel Wiloox received a charge of buckshot iu hia left shoulder and he lay upon the battle field until Wednesday without food, water or attention. The Chickaaaw Bayou defeat was described. It was in SPECIAL BARGAINS --IN- DRESS GOODS WILL BE MftDE TO-MORROW.

CHKAP CHABMT. that battle that the gallant Col. J. D. Wynian fell.

The army fell back, and going up the Arkansas, captured Arkansas Post as quick as wink. Thence the army of 21 regiments, 3 batteries and a lot ot tin-clad boats, went to Millikin's Bend and Young's Point, being on the water 14 days trying to find an outlet. The army went into camp at Montezuma Bar where many died of the black fever, a disease with which three- fifths of the army was afflicted. It was a disease which proved fatal in 12 hours, and the Bar to-day marks the last resting place of scores on scores of brave men who weut forth to battle for the right. The long siege of Vicksburg, and its final capture, was related.

The move on Vicka- biirg was made on May 23, 1863, and being repulsed the army fell back. The next day the generals conferred together. Then it was that General Grant said, in answer to an inquiry as to what should be done, "We'll fight it out on this line if it takes all summer," and he did hang on until, July 2,1864 Pemberton anrrendered and the Mississippi was open to the Federals from Cairo to the Gulf of Mex- After the fall of Vicksburg Sher- 'man proceeded at once in pursuit of Johnston.and in camp on the 4th of July, the "Mendota Carpenter" made hia first stump speech, being chosen by his comrades as the orator of the day. The march of Sherman to the sea was related, interspersed with many amusing reminiscences ot the memorable trip. It was at the fall of Atlanta that tbe brave McPherson fell, and speaker declared that the honor of the capture of the town was due to Gen.

Logan, who, when he heard that McPherson had fallen, waved his hat in the air and rode furiously along the lines as he led the way to avenge the death of the brave officer. Sherman's army in 57 pitched battles and marched 1700 miles, undergoing greater hardship braving more dangers and aohieving'groater than any army ot any country on the face of the globe in the history of all tima The Colonel closed his lecture with a patriotic tribute to the old flag and soldiers dead. The audience, which largely made op of old soldiers, waa deeply moved by the Colonel, particularly when he referred to the death of McPherson, the mention of whoso name caused spontaneous applause. The band played "America, ana the audience dispersed. MABKETS BY TELES BAPH.
