SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS. G. T. WALKER, - - - - Editor. " PBINCIPLES BEFORE MEtT. Ellaville, 3a., October 19th, 1882. Schley’s big scandal pow-wow has gone to rest. Dr. J. N. Cheney lias been con fined to his bed with fever. Worms appeared a few days ago upon the oaks of the forest, and have about devoured their leaves. Our county is becoming infested with crows more and more every year, and are quite annoying now. I "[Next Saturday will be six weeks since, we had any rain. This drougld is too much of a good thing for farmers. The ground pea crop was never finer, and they have about dried in the ground in consequence of the drought. Every gin in the county lias as much or more cotton to gin now than it can do; but the rush will soon come to a close. Cotton is nearly all picked out and farmers are all complaining that the crops will be considerably shorter than they anticipated. Schley county only has eight can didates out for Tax Collector. If a few more will come out “me and my three sons, us four and no more” will elect a man. The more the merrier. As may be seen from his announce ment, S. B. Halstead offers himself and services to the people of Schley to be elected Tax Collector at the ensu ing election in January next. Bently is a young gentleman well qualified to attend to the business if elected, and relies upon his friends and quali fications to do the electioneering. Died. —Mr. Perry Peacock, on the morning of the 13th inst., and was buried that afternoon at Fellowship Church. Perry Peacock was in his seventy-fifth year and had been in bad health for several months previous to his death. He was known and noted for his honesty and fidelity to honest principles. He was a devoted mem ber of the Universalist Church, and proved his faith by his Christian works. LETTER FROM SCHLEY. Ellaviile, Schley County Ga.,) October 11th, 1882. j Mr. Editor—Dear Sir: If you please give me a little space within your columns to return my thanks and a few remarks concerning my feelings to my friends in Schley. I now feel it my duty to return my thanks to my adopt ed father and mother, Sir. and Mrs. J. 11. Bivins. Judge Bivins is a well known citizen of Schley county. I truly thank him for his kind treatment for the last thirteen years; he took care of me when I could not have done it my sdf; my desire is that God may bless them and may they ever live a happy life, and when life ceases may they meet where they will enjoy their reward. I write this morning as a free man, twenty-one years of age, as some pro nounce it. I enter, I say, into a field of grass without a hoe. Who is to care for his country, who is to take upon his shoulder the responsibility of the State and the human family, if not the man that is twenty-one years of age? Who is to sleep sound at night, and if there is no corn in the barn nor meat in the smoke house, nor feel the sting ot poverty,if it is not the child that has a father to look to for comforts? That’s why we have so many conflicts, wrongs, murders, drunkards and law-breakers. That’s why we carry our keys from night to night. If it is on account of men whose freedom have no bounds, I feel not as our friend Patrick Henry did when he spoke these noble w’ords, “Give me freedom or give me death.” I say a man that is true to his country, abides by the laws of God and of the United States, is not at liberty. Who is it to teach and to set good examples before the rising generation if it is not the man they call free? Are they not responsible for the minors? Are they not to teach us to love and do our duty to God and to our fellowman as we were taught by those who calmly sleep within their honorable grave, who for their country died. 1 think a great responsibility falls upon him who receives the bene diction. Fathers mind where you step, for we are coming right behind you; put not a stumbling block in our path lest we should stumble and fall to rise no more. I have often heard it said that the children now a days are so much worse than they were in olden times. I ap peal to the wisest heads, are we to blame? I say let them that know better teach better. If I plow with my hands in my pockets and my plow uproots the growing corn, who is to blame, me or the plow? I say that I am to blame. Now fathers take your hands out of your pockets and guide your plow. Then you will have children who will mind you, and when you sleep within your cold bilent tomb, and when your name is blotted from the record of earth yourson will remember the old trembling voice that so often reproved him. Gent ly drive the stake down beside the twig and train it to grow’ straight while it is young. Come boys and let us lean to the middle post. Who shall we take for the middle post? Well, I say hurrah for Crisp. We will forsake them that forsake us. Then ask the old lady about this matter; Well, when I fry my meat 1 want t.i fry it into a Crisp, and 1 don’t want to be worried about it. Let u-i vote for a white man, not lor a while negro. J.
