THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: MARCH 27, 1877.
The First Mah.
Soino repairs were needed tq the
•engine when the tniiu. reached Reno,
iuul while most of the * passengers
were taking a philosophical view' of
tiny delay and making themselves as
comfortable asi possible in *!**!<! ep<?t,
in walked a native. He wasn’t a
V\
$ ^
native Indian, nor a native (griaxljr/
but a native Nevadian, and he was
ragged out in imperial -style. He
•wore, a bearskin eoat and cap,, track,
skuit leggings and moccasins,' ahd-in
his belt, was a big knife<and two re
volvers. There was lightning in his
eye, destruction in his walk, and as
he sauntered up to the red-hot stove
and-scattered tobacco-j uice<e ver it, a
dozen passengers looked jpale 'with
fear. Among the travellers wtis
•car painter "from Jersey‘City, and
.after surveying the native fot
moment, he coolly inquired.:
' “ Aren’t you afraid yoifll fall
down and .hurt yourself with those
weapons?”
“\V—what!” gasped the native
in astonishment.
“ I suppose.they sell such outfits a s
you’ve got on at auction out hero,
don’t they.?’’ oontinued the painter
“ W—what -d’ye mean—who ar
ye?” whispered the native .as he
walked arouud the stove and put on
a terrible look.
“ My name.is Logwood,” was the
•calm r«jply, “ and I mean that, if I
were you, I’d crawl out of those old
duds, and put on some decent
•clothes.!”
Don’t talk that way to me, or you
won’t live a minit!” exclaimed the
native as he hopped around. “ Wby,
you homesick covote. I’m Grizzly
Dan, the heaviest Indian fighter in
the world:! I was .the first white
man to scout for Gen. .Crook l I was'
the first white man -in the Black!
Hills!' J was the first white man
among the Modocs.!’’
“I don’t-believe it!” .flatly replied*
the painter. “ You look more like
the first white man down Jto the din
ner table!’’
The .native-drew his knife, put.it
I’ll go out with yon, you old
rabbit-killer I’’ exclaimed the painter,
who tiad his Coat off.
“ That’s another deadly insult, to
be wiped out in blood, and I see I
must finish yojfc ^sever figbt around
depot, though. I gq oiit on the
mine, wnere mere h achance \o

“Where’s your prairie,’ lead the
way!” howled the crowd.
“ It wouldn’t do any good,” re-
plied he.leaned against
the wall. “I always hold a ten-
dollar gold piece in my mouth when
I fight, and I haven’t got one to-day
—in lact, I’m dead broke.”
“ Here’s a good piece!’’ allied
tall man, holding up the metal.
“ Fm a thousand times obleeged,”
a mournfully 'replied the native, shak
ing his head. “. I never go into a
fight without putting, red paint on
my left ear for luck; and I haven’t
any red paint,by ine, and there isn’t
a bit in Bono.”
“ Are—you—going—to—fight?”
demauded the car painter, reaching
out for the bear skin cap.
“ I took a solemn oath when a boy
never to fight without painting my
left ear,” protested the Indian killer.
“ You wouldn’t want me to go back
on my solemn oath, would you ?*’
“You’ie a cabbage,^ squash, a
pumpkin dressed up in leggings!”
contemptuously remarked the car
I painter, as he pat on his coat.
“Yes, he’s a great coward, re
marked several others, as they turned
away.
“ I’ll give ten thousand dollars for
ten drops of red paint!” shrieked the
native. “ Oh! why is it that I have
no paint for my ear when here is such
sx chance to go in aud kill 1” t
A big blacksmith from Illinois took
him by the neck and run him out,
arid,he was seen no more for an hoar.
Just before the train started, and
after al tbe passengers bad taken
jgeats, the " first man,”, was seen on
the platform. He had another bawie
knife, and had also put a tomahawk
his belt. There was red paint on
hwJeft ear, bis eyes rolled, and, in a
terrible voice, he called out.
“Where is that man Logwood?
^iet him opine out.here and meet hia
doom!”
**Ib that you? Count me in!”

a window. He rushed- for the door,
leaped, down, and .was .polling off his

Messbs. J. O. Matbkwsok & Co., Augusta, Ga.—I)eak Sirs: I have used the Pacific Guano
for several yean with good success. Last year I tried several kinds, vis: Barry, Patapsco and
Soluble Pacific.
On the 30th of March last I concluded to make a test with Guano and Green Cotton Seed. I
manured three rows with Cotton Seed only. I then mouured three rows with fifteen pounds of
Pacifio Guano aifil Cotton Seed, using the same quantity of Barry’s and Patapsco mixed with
Cotton Seed on the same quantity of ground, which was poor mu lato land, all the same kind and
all treated alike.
