F a personal 'POINT OF VIE W. J
For several days an old gentleman
has been peddling shoe blacking on
the street corners. He has a little
table on which is the array of round
flat tin boxes, a piece of leather pol
lished to a brilliant black, and a shoe
likewise highly illuminated.
The old fellow isunmistakely Irish.
'One only needs to listen for the first
few words of rich brogue. Two things
hafe an irresistible fascination for me
Irish brogue and Scotch stories. Pass
ing down the street the other day the
flow of Hibernian-wit coming from
the centre of a cojnpact circle of peo
,ple caught my attention.
I stopped and finally managed to
■elbow my way into the crowa until I
could see the objective point of that
ceaseless flow of talk. He was a quaint
looking old chap-with one of those
pronounced Irish mugs one sees so
rarely except in the comic weeklies.
A fringe of snowy whiskers encir
cled bis neck and throat, but bis face
was clean shaven. His skin had a
peculiar pallor something like it had
been dusted with meal, and age had
* "Webbed the corners of his mouth,
eyes and the cheeks with countless
wrinkles.
But the flight of years had not
dimmed the sparkle of bis conversa
tion. He knew his business too. He
alternately disappeared and the dimes
rained into the capacious pockets of
the old gentlemen.
“They tell jhez thot I’m a yankee
swindler, and thot I’ll ohate the oye
teeth out of yez. But friends I’m
from the city of Brotherly Love,
where ivery mon loves his neighbor
as be loves bimsilf”—under his breath,
“thot’e a dom lie”—resuming his loud
tone, “yez moight Beach the entire
face of the earth and niver find ony
thing to aqual this blacking. How
many? Thanks.”
So the ceaseless flow of glib Irish
chatter went on, and—the blacking is
all right. I haven’t used any of my
box yet, but others have told me.
“Uncle Joe” Mansfield, the jolliest
’lrishman on the face of the earth,
and who represents the county of
Mclntosh in. the legislature, has
another bill to introduce in the event
his measure to legalize prize fighting
does not pass.
“They, just shall not run over Joe.
If the ijuts down me prize foight bill,
I’ve another to introduce that will
ifix thim. It’s to legalize bull fighting
in Georgy. Down in my part of the
country they don’t grow bigger than
a Newfoundland dog, and ain’t fit to
ate. Bat they are the fiercest little
divils you iver saw, and ’ll foight
loike damons. I’m going to introduce
the bill sure if they don’t legalize me
proize foighting measure. ”
Great is “Uncle Joe!” Great is the
wire grass of Georgia.
A sad, sad story came to my ears yes
terday, and it pains me to record it here.
I had always deemed my friends Junius
Simpson and Ab Dean men of Spartan
courage; men who knew not the mean
ing of the word fear. Yet on Thanks
giving day a common black, scrub
yearling treed both of them. Think of
-the ignominy of that.
But .the s*ory. On last Thursday
Messrs. T, 0. Hand, Ab Dean and
Junius Simpson went down the river
hunting. The party scattered, and Mr,
Hand was bagging quail right along
when suddenly the blood was almost
curdled in his veins by most heart
rending cries of distress.
He baited and listened. Again the
crisp November air was split in to frag
ments by voices in wnich there thrilled
notes of a vful fear. The sound came
from over a ridge in front of the hunter,
and without a moments hesitation “he
stormed the steep hill and at last stood i
panting from the exertion on the brow. I
Below lay a pretty valley, but once

more those wails of despair smote his
ears.
“Heavens, what can it be?” muttered
Mr. Hand.
A sycamore .tree stood in the midst of
the field, and silhouetted against the bare
limbs were two figures. Mr. Hand salli
ed down, and was almost rendered speech
less to find that the figures up the tree
were Messrs. Ab Dean and June Simp*
son.
“What’n thunder you boys doin’ up
there?’’ asked Mr. Hand.
Each clutched the limb to which he
was holding mere firmly and with teeth
going like castinets Mr. Dean answered:
“A big black bear run us here. He
liked to have got us. It was the narrow
est escape we ever had in our lives.
B-r-r r r. The great horrid things over
there hi that thicket now, waiting to
nail us as soon as we came down.”
Mr, Hand went into the thicket, and
finally routed a harmless looking black
yearling. Then he laughed and laughed
and laughed. He laughed so much that
the two up the tree grew indignant. Mr.
Hand said they looked crestfallen, too.
He cannot understand how in the world
they managed to climb that twenty feet
of slippery and limbless sycamore tree
and carry their guns with them. Messrs.
Simpson and Dean absolutely refuse to
discuss the matter. J. C. R,

Handsome Portrait of j' dge Hillyer
For Emory College.
As many Romans are acquainted
with Judge George Hillyer, brother of
Dr. Eben Hillyer, and, also, remember
Artist Guerry, the following from the
Atlanta Journal will prove interesting:
Two very handsome and lifelike por
traits, one of Hon. Allen D. Candler
and the other of Judge George Hillyer,
have been painted at the request of Dr.
Warren A. Candler to be placed in the
chapel of Emory college.
The portraits were painted by the
well known artist, Mr. Albert Guerry,
who has won an enviable reputation for
his skill in that branch of art and who
has portrayed so many of the forms and
features of the most distinguished men
in the south.
These pictures are now on exhibition
at the state capitol, where they are at
tracting much attention, where afe to
be seen portraits of Colonel N. J. Ham
mond, General Toombs, Governor At
kinson, Mrs. Atkinson, Judge C. C.
Smith, of Hawkinsville; ex-Chief Jus
tice Bleckley, and ex Governors Smith
and Bullock, by the same celebrated
portrait painter.
It is hoped that a portrait of Hon.
Charles F. Crisp, whose death was
mourned as a rational loss, will soon ap
pear in the gallery of famous Georgians'
• *
THE SOME TBIBDNE TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 30, 1887
at the capitol, painted by the same ar
tistic hand. Governor Richardson, of
South Carolina, says that Artist Guerry
is pre-eminently fitted for such a task,
that would prove an inspiration to com
ing generations.
Judge George Hillyer comes of one of
the most distinguished families in the
state, is a son of the renowned jurist,
Judge Junius Hillyer; was born at
Athens, March 19th, 1835, but his father
removed to Monroe when he was twelve
years old, where young George attended
school, finally going to Mercer, where
he graduated with distinction in 1854.
He studied law under bis father, was
admitted to the bar by Judge James
Jackson in 1855, and practiced law with
his father, and later with Hon, Pope
Hull. At the beginning of the war he
was elected captain of the Hillyer Rifles,
entered the Confederate service in the
Ninth Georgia, served there until 1863,
when he was made a major of the state
troops and auditor of the old State road.
He was in many bloody battles during
his service in the regular army, and at
the siege of Charleston bad only ten
men left of his entire company.
At the close of the war he began the
practice of law in Atlanta, first alone,
then in partnership with his brother,
Henry Hillyer; afterwards with Blewitt
Lee, son of General Stephen D. Lee
and lastly with Hooper Alexander and
W. W. Lambdin. He was a member of
the legislature from Walton county in
1857, and chief clerk of the house in
1859-60. He was a member of the com
mittee to audit claims against the State
road and a senator from the Thirty
fifth district in 1870-74.
In 1873 6 he was a centennial commis
sioner, and in 1877 judge of the Fulton
circuit, but resigned at the beginning
of his third term, and in 1885 he was
elected mayor of Atlanta, and his ad
ministration was one of the best that
Atlanta ever bad. Since 1887 he has
been a member of the water board, and
most of the time its president, and it is
largely due to his efforts that Atlanta
has such a superb system of waterworks.
He was a director in the Georgia
Railroad and Banking company until
1891, and a delegate to the national
Democratic convention In 1884, which
nominated Grover Cleveland for presi
dent, and again a delegate in 1892, He
represented the old Sixth district in the
convention that met in Charleston in
1860.
Judge Hillyer is a prominent member
of the Second Baptise church, and was
married to Miss Ellen E. Cooley, of
Rome, in 1867, and has five living chil
dren. He has now retired from the ac
tive practice of law and will devote bis
time to literary pursuits.
