Hutto, Texas. Lr
Mr, Editor: AVill von please
allow me 6pace iu your paper for
a tew lines which may interest
some of y >ur readers and also mv
riends of years long gone?
In 1854 or 1855 my father mov
ed to Paulding county and s t-
tled on what is known ns Burnt
llicKory Hidge, where he sold
goods, carried on a blacksmith
shop, shoe shop, tanyard and *a
small farm. My father did not
remain there but a little over a
year, but I remained there most
of my lime for three or four
years.
I was just enterineupon young
manhood, and as I was fu'l of
ife L spent some of the happiest
days of mv life in that countv.
At that time Uncle Nedy Hagan,
Archibald Holland, Hartwell,
Win. Y. I.ee and S. D. McGregor
were the leading citizens on Kac-
coon creek.
Duncan Campbell and his sons,
Daniel and Bandy, Jack Penn,
Dr J. M. Hardin, John Griffin,
B. l’arlier, J. B. Marble and
John N. Bligli lived on the road
along the llidge from Cartersville
to Dallas. 1 could recount many
reminiscences of those days if 1
were disposed to do so.
Bandy Campbell was sheriff of
the county when my father mov
ed there, and my father waB his
physician in his last illness. I
had forgotten to mention that
old Uncle Billy Dunaway and
Uncle Billy Taut also lived on
the Hidge,
Bandy Campbell owned an old
negro that was spotted. Where
he was white the skin was very
white and where black vory
black. Some of the boys that
still live doubtless remember
spotted Tom.
Justice court day at our pre
cinct was always a big day.
Great crowds would gather there.
Buck Hicks and Lige Forsyth
were the judges of that court for
many years. The crowd always
began to gather early in the
uioniiug. There were generally
from three to half dozen men
who would bring gallon jugs of
home-made corn whisky, and
they sold their liquor by the half
pint and pint, and sometimes a
quart.
The court seldom held long,
and as soon as it was over a gen
eral jubilee was on hand, for the
court and all hands had by the
time the court was over, imbibed
enough corn juice to make every
body lively. Buck Hicks would
get a crowd aud then an old fash
loned game of “seven up” with
cards was engaged in for small
sums of money. The balance of
the crowd enjoyed themselves in
telling jokes, shooting for small
amonnts, and for a little livelier
past time, to bouncing rocks over
each other for some imaginary
wrong or insult brought about by
the over-stimulating effects of
the corn juice. Tom was always
a sort of central figure on these
occasions for his grotesque and
dry wit was about on a par with
his ludicrous and comical appear
ance. Tom from some cause had
formed a dislike to the Tants,
which at that time were a large
family. When Tom would get
well equipped for speech making
and fqn by reason of not less of
the obejoyful than a pint, he
would ofteu deliver his choice
and famous speech, which was in
part as follows:
Gentlemen : “I is lived along
time—an I allers thought the
white folks is smarter than the
injuns and niggers, but I is never
saw a nigger nor injun that was
foolish enough to drive the in-
jnns away from this country an
let the Tants have it. I can’t
see what in de name er God dey
done it for.”
The boys would whoop and hol
ler and applaud Tom, who never
doubted his importance on such
occasion.
I will not ask more space for
further remiuiscences of those
days that I often live over again
in ray old age, which in a reverie.
I desire to say to my old friends,
especially my old war comrades,
that I purpose being with our
old friends at the Birmingham
reunion, and 1 will be proud to
meet with any or all of them
that attend the reunion. Wm.
E. Tant and Frank Hagan were
in my company. Bhould any of
them fail to find me in camps,
they can find me by inquiring at
the ol’ice of mv brother, Dr. O.
T. Dozier, in Birmingham.
I expect to visit l’auldinp
while on this trip. Bo look out
Newt aud Billy!
Yours truly,

Mr. Editor: Dear sir, if you
will allow me a small space in
your valuable paper I will give a
few dots from California.
The Atlantic fleet was a pretty
sight when coming through the
golden gate in single file. The
prettiest of all was at night,
when the battle ships and cruis
ers were illuminated all over
with electric lights. Tne search
light was a grand sight, Twen-
ty-sevon battle ships and cruisers
anchored here at one time, cast
ing the search lights all at the
same time in all directions. Ob
jects could bo seen for miles
away.
The parade was grand. Thous
ands of sailors and soldiers
marched together, also the parade
was fine in Oakland across the
bay.
1 cannot tell much difference
in summer and winter here.
Overcoats are worn here at
nights in summer time.
The battle ship Ga, breaks
the record in the fleet for mak
ing fast time, as the battle ships
do not make time as fast as the
cruisers do, the Georgia battle
ship is a head for time in fast
speed among her class.
1 enjoyed my trip from here to
Dallas, Ga., fine last summer—
ste pping in Texas a short time,
aud returned by the way of Oin-
cinnatti, Chicago, Omaha, Ne
braska, Denver, Colorado, Ogden,
across the great Balt Lake, Utah
and through forty-six miles of
snow sheds in the Siera Moun
tains of Nevada. The scene was
fine coming through the royal
gorge in the Mountains of Colo
rado as well as Pikes Peak at
Colorado Springs.
It is not the country of Geor
gia that makes me so glad to vis
it there, but it is the good peo
ple of Georgia. I can tell them
at the first few words. They
have a friendly, sociable way
that does not come this far west.
When I took the royal purple de
gree there was something doing
in Frisco.
If this does not go to the waste
basket I will write again, as I
am a Paulding boy, and wish the
Dallas New Era and all its read
ers the greatest success. I could
not do well without .the New Era.
