Heavenly future and Georgia tax woes feature in late 19th century prose
The piece opens with poetic reflections on a 'sometime' of happiness and heavenly rest, contrasting it with earthly sorrow, then shifts to a Georgia tax update. It notes Georgia is $1,000,000 short on tax returns after counties report mostly increases and decreases, warns of a higher tax rate, and quotes a satirical take on a fever season and regional panic from the San Antonio Express urging collective action to recover lost business.
