“No.”—Au old bachelor friend, on being
aderd why he had never married, replied
th\t he never asked but one ladv to have
him ; that his heart was tn his mouth when
ho popped the question, but she said “No,”
which caused it to fall so low that he has
never since been able to get it back to its
proper place.
“Young Folk's Gem”—We have re
ceived a copy of a nice little paper bearing
the above hnn»e. We think it is truly it

Colored School Exhibition. The
colored school in this place had an exhibi
tion on Monday night, which a member of
the county school board present says was
creditable indeed. The programme con
sisted of singing that was excellent, dia
logues that were well delivered, and tab
leaux that were enjoyable. The teacher,
Essie Johnson, is a colored woman, and is
said to deserve considerable praise for the
manner in which she acquits herself. It
gives us pleasure to record a tact of so rare
occurrence.

A paragraph in last week’s paper inti
mated that a jdl building is useless in
this county, because it is usually empty'.
Sheriff Morris saw it, and thereupon he
went to work to make (he building useful.
He first made a trip to Big Shanlie, and
arrested a negro named Moses Maloney, lor
stealing bacon from II igh R isk some time
since, but he could not. get the fellow for a
lodger, ns he gave bond for his appear
ance at court. Then he started in search
of Tobe Rog< rs, a negro who broke into
the house of one of bis race and stole vari
ous articks of clothing; following him to
Beaufort, on the Air-line road, he caught
him and brought, him back as occupant of
room No. 1. Every one kn<Ws ou; Sheriff
is accommodating; so, to keep Tobe from
getting lonesome, on Tuesday he ushered
in Cy Grisham; another person of Colyr, to
assist in killing the tedium, t’y had been
too fond of Miiloti Davis’s sorghunq . And
now we tire ready to admit that the Sher
iffs energy has made the jail valuable.
Winter is approaching, and our young
folks should begin to pr< pare something by

don’t know who got permission to put it
there. M’e will, however, erase it with

day, will try to get along without it, and
also the money due for nearly two mouths

j Notice to Our Subscribers. —Those
subscribers living in the vicinity of Field’s
bridge can get their papei-s by calling at
our residence on Wednesdays of each

Our esteemed old friend, George Jeffer
son, E'-q., who lives on the Silacoa, had

crop is sai I to be fine.
We paid a visit, the other day, to old
father Phillips, who lives rd the Sixes gold
mine. lie is nin<ty-iwo and
chews tobacco constantly.
Little darkeys in our neighborhood fre
quently pick one hundred and fifty pounds
of cotton each in a day. Such chaps could
scarcely earn their salt in slavery times.
Now is the time to begin to sow wheat.
The policy is to manure a few acres well,
send off and get good seed, put it in well,

We caught a grinning young darkey up
one of Bpple8 ’ ,hf *

A young friend of ours says he would
marry, if his pa would lend him his neW
buggy;.but the said paternal^ancestor is

It is Slid, now, that a man dare not
chew his own tobacco if the revenue has
not ly*en paid on it. It don’t matter with
us, how< ver, as we intend to burn ours.
Reckon that, ain’t agin the law.
Among the best farmers of our acquaint
ance are Silas Payne, Moses Cantrell and
Elijah Ellison. If cither of them could
not make farming pay on htrine' mountain,
it would be useless for anybody else to try.
Major Petty of Ophir has a quarter of an
acre in drilled turnips, which is expected
to yield four hundred bushels, lie has a
new kind of corn, from five seeds of which
one hundred stalks have been raised. The
seed came from Richmond. f
Our friend Jim McCollum was riding

A pretty y’oung lady who wears a buff
bonnet, and who has been picking cotton
in a neighboring field to ours, has seriously
retarded the work of a certain young man
of our acquaintance, who is attracted in
that direction like the needle to the pole.
A little boy in Greasy cove went down
to the cre< k, the oth< r day, and prayed
that lie might walk on the water like Pe
ter, and pitched in; but his faith was not
sufficient f»r the undi rtaking, and wc sup
pose he got licked, when he went home,
for getting his clothes wet.
The sweet potato crop is doing well now.
Dig them after the first frost, when the
ground is dry; put them in a dry place,
cover them with chaff, and, if they don’t
away in a sound con l.tion. Cover them
more thoroughly as the weather grows
colder. •
They were in the upper part of the
conntv, and stopped at a farm-house for
dinner. Neither of them was accustomed
to say grace, but an expectant silence dty
furred lhe meal, until one of the guests, for
hunger sake, started to ask the blessing.
Just as he ejaculated a word or two, the
lady of the house inquired, “Can't some
I one make a beginning?”
i The celebrated ‘.T»hn McCblfinh, whom
* < vervbody knows or has “heard tell oft,”
was in <»ur neighborhool the other day,
wan'ing to know if anybixly wanted a
well dug. Ours didn’t need digging, and
we did not give him a job. The lust we
heard of him, a lady was after him with a
stick, and John was double-quicking in the
direction of Ward’s coaling ground.
One of lhe numerous reporters for The
' Georgian started on a tour through the
mountains, the other day, on a small Texan
pony. After traveling one day, he discov
j t?rc<l that the pony was lame in Iwo legs,
and be wi nt s leading him along, taking
“dots bv the way.” On nearing Ellijay,
he offered a certain Presiding elder one
dollar to ride bis pony through town.

Out friynd J. V. Smith has - just returned
from a trip to Union county. He says the
cm|>s are good, and that the peonh? along
the line of the contemplated railroad are
working, with a vim in the! interest of the
road, and holding meetings in the militia
districts. They have determined that the
project shall not fail for any lack on their
part. *They are taking the right course.
,We ought to,build this rpad, and can do so
if the p'-dple along the line would move
as, ony t|viu. It would be. an ever
lasting monument of folly for the road to
s'.'ip. how. A littlo help from all interested
in building up this section would accom
plish lire work.

Riding a Freedman to College.
Many are the instances,recorded, of late,
of politicians riding the riegro into office,
but it remained tor Frank Willis, a maimed
Confederate soldier of tlii§ county, to util
ize .him by riding him to college Our
friend ’Crombie is responsible for the fol
lowing account of the manner in which it
was done:
Soim after the war, an act was passed-by
the Legislature providing tor the education
of maimed soldiers free of tuition. Frank
availed himself of the patriotic arrange
ment, and accordingly took the train for
Athens, for the purpose of entering the
college at that place. Arriving at night,
he got out on the platform ol the depot,
supposing that there would be some con
veyance ready to take him over to the col
lege, which was some distance away. To
his g-eat disappointment, he found none,
and, not bi Ing able to use bis new cork
leg, he was at a loss how to proceed. In
‘ deed, he began to think the chances rather
bad for him to proceed at all. The drays
and ether vehicles had rattled away, the
buslMng crowd had disappeared, and he
fell
“like one who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted ;
Whose lights are 11<«1,
Whose garlands are dead,
.And all but him departed.”
’While silting there and musing on his
forlorn and helpless condition, a big, strap
ping gentleman of color passed leisurely
by, when Frank ordered him to halt. Sam
bo made a right-abou'-faee movement, and
exclaimed, "What do you want?”
“I want you to let me get on your back
and rideover to t’ne college.” replied Frank.
"Umph!” grunted Sambo; “I ain’t no
dray.”
VI umi't care if you are not,” s lid Frank :
“Imfcntl to rile you to the college; so
, back up here quick and let me get on.”
“I shan’t do it,” muttered Sambo.
“I’ll show you,” said Frank, as he pulled
out a revolver and repealed the order to
“back up,” in an emphatic tone.
; Sambo rolled his eyes at Frank, and, see
ing that he “meant business,” backed up to
the platform. Frank crowded aboard, put
liis arms around Sambo’s neck, and rode
. him safely to the seat of learning.
The camp-meeting at Brg spring began
on Friday, and continued until this morn
ing. During its progress considerable re
ligions deling was evoked, and a number
were added to the Church. The attend
ance on Sunday Is said to been larger
i than at any other meeting this year, and
' cverylxidy seemed to enjoy the occasion.
’ Rev. Mr. Bellow of Milion delivered a ser
i mon, in the morning, on “Restitution,”
I which was highly complimented for its
> sound sense and practical Character. Mr.
i the evening, and Mr. William
> mgW, preached goixi sermons
upon the “services, sufferings, and saving
grace ot Christ.”
c n * r .
People at the Big Spring camp-meeting
1 on Sunday had the satisfaction of seeing
the prototype ot a San Francisco hoodlum.
’ He was about twenty, and just beginning
• (to cultivate mustaches. With pantaloons
’ ■ tucked in his boots, Lis coat-sleeves shoved
; j up to the elbows to display a streaked de
! laiao shirt, a green neckerchief symbolizing
. bia character, a blue ribbon around his hat
, to show he was a “blood,” and a shawl
■ slung over his shoulder in brigandish style,
‘ he sterile through the grounds like the he
-1 iroa dime novel, challenging admiration,

third district of this county, was sold by
( j the administrator for $1,105, Mr. Frank
