APING.
The negroes of Cherokee Corner have

-once a week at St James Chapel to ’seuss
some question. The following are the

“ Which can we do without the best,

“Which is the most eerrigrou.% water
or fire ?”
A friend promises to attend one of
their debates, and furnish us with some
the arguments adduced.
A COTTON-PICKING,
We learn that the hands working the
plantation of Captain Barrow, on Friday
night last, gave a cotton-picking. The
hands assembled at 0 o’clock in the eve
ning, when work commenced, and con
tinued to gather in the fleecy staple until
2 o’clock in the morning, when they ad
journed to supper, where they found
an abundance of the substantiate of life,
including corn-juice. Our informant
says that about 3 o’clock there were about
sixty of the drunkest darkeys he has seen
for years. They gathered in about two
bales of cotton.

from us to assist. The simple announce

the attendance of all who wish bargains.
The store was built by Mr. J. M. Norton,

It was on the edge of the wood. They
had come thither from different points in
pursuit of the seasonable partridge ; but
in the shrubbery one startled hunter had

am not a partridge.” “ I must shoot,”
was the response, “ for I have sworn that
if ever I saw a man homelier than I am
I would kill him.” The intended victim
gazed curiously for a moment, and then
said, placidly, “Fire away; if I am ug
lier than you are, I even wish that I
were dead.” We will add that this oc
curred on Saturday, when our teacher
was not at school , and Red Martin told
Winter that he thought he could attend
to the store, and he could take the. part

A COLORED ROMANCE.
“The Course of True Love Never
Runs Smooth."
A Goose Pond Darkey Loses Ills
Rridc and Shoes.
A pair of dusky lovers, of Goose Pond,
i a short time since, pledged their troth,
and vowed, by everything sacred, to live
only for each other. The damsel was
! not as yet sweet sixteen, and attending
school, and the gay Lothario worked on
a neighboring farm. History says they
j met by chance, fell desperately in love,
; became engaged, and all that was lack
ing to render their earthly happiness
complete, was the consent of the young
damsel's papa, a large, flat-nosed, kinky
; wooled old gentleman, who prided him
self on a straight line of ’scent from one
of the strongest (smelling) families in
the county. The bride, too, they say, in
herits her father’s odor and physiognomy
and her mother’s complexion, and her
father got her educated free of cost, on
the condition that she would allow the
scholars to use her cheeks for a black
board when they were forced to use
charcoal for chalk. The perfume distill
ed from her fair (?) form, and which, like
| a bright halo, surrounded her where ere
; she moved, was of such fragrance as
| would cause an ancient William goat to
| blush at his own inferiority. It is said
the loving Lothario, in a short time,
learned to trace the direction taken by
his heart’s idol, even were she three
miles distant, by the fragant odor waft
ed to his nasal appendage by the passing
breeze.
But we will not longer dwell upon the
loveliness (?) of the dam-sell. Suffice it
to say no other lassie in Goosepond could
show a blacker hide, kinkier wool, flatter
foot, or hold a candle to her when you
come to smell.
As the swain plays but a minor part in
our narrative, we will not spend much
time in delineating bis characteristics —
was a nigger all over ; wore on Sundays
a hickory shirt, a pair of pants three
inches too short, held up by one suspen
der, a cross between a coat and a jacket,
a pair of No. 12 shoes, with a vamp for
the heel as well as toe, an old army cap,
and was second, in point of ’scent, only
to his prospective bride.
But with our story: The father of
the damsel was solicited by the lover for
his daughter’s baud , he adding that “ I
dun bin lubin your darter fur now gwine
on tree months, and if you only gim her
to me I swar i’ll sport her on de best dat
de market fords, if I lvab to gedder it in
when ebry one else dun sleep ; and I gin
you tree pounds munition, a pistol, and
Jack for a coon dog. Now, what you
say to dat ?”
The father considered for a moment
the proposal, when, remembering that
lie had been offered a better trade by
another nigger, scorned the offer, and
drove the proposer from the cabin.
But as the old adage goes, “ love laughs
at locks and bars.” The lovers secretly
met and planed an elopement. A night
was appointed, and true to time the
swain rode up to the the thyrsting place
on a nigger’s mule he had borrowed—
a poor, old, blind, sore-backed animal,
with a sheep-skin for a saddle and a rope
around its neck for a bridle. His anxi
ety was soon relieved by a strong odor
being carried to him on a passing breeze,
and he knew that his love was not far
distant.
But when she put in appearance, judge
the feelings of the lover when he found
her feet encased in nothing save the cov
ering furnished by her maker. With a
grace that would have done honor to
Chesterfield, he quickly took off his own
shoes, and with hard work squeezed the
non-Cinderillian understandings of his
partner into them, with the thoughtful
remark that “ You kin war deni till cold
wedder sot in !”
All things being ready, the damsel
was placed behind him on the mule, and
the trio set out at a pace, that can be only
equaled by the Athens Branch Railroad.
But the course of true love never did
run smooth. At daybreak the father
awoke, discovered his loss, and started in
pursuit of the runaways, who he found
just a mile and a half from their point of
departure. Rushing up to the trio, he
ordered a halt, which command not be
ing heeded, he seized hold of the tail of
the mule, dragged it into the bushes,
and recovered his odorous daughter, to
gether with Lothario’s shoes, by way of
spoils.
Sequel. —ln three weeks the captured
damsel was married to another nigger,
who now wears the captured shoes, while
Lothario, having neither shoes, money,
nor credit, is forced to go bare-footed.
THE DEBATE.
The Enterprise Debating Club meets
on Saturday night, Nov. 7. The follow

XEGRO KILLED.
A White Man Cuts the Throat of a Negro,
in Self-Defence, near Woodville.
We learn, from reliable authority, the
particulars of a difficulty which occurred
near Woodville, in this county, which
resulted in the loss of one vote to the
Radical party.
It appears that on Tuesday night last,
at a corn-shucking, some controversy
arose between a white man, named Per
dee, and a negro named Alfred Haily, a
notoriously bad and desperate character.
The negro accused Perdee of drawing a
knife on him, and, without cause, com
menced beating him with a piece of
fence-rail ; whereupon, seeing himself
thus assaulted, he very properly drew
out his knife and cut the black scoun
drel’s throat, killing him almost instant
ly. The killing was done in self-defence.
How long will it be before the negro
learns that he is the inferior of the white
man, iu every respect, and as such must
submit to remain in his own sphere ?
He always comes out worsted in every
encounter with the white race, but still
there are those who will continue to try
and foist themselves where they will not
be tolerated.
But a word in the ear of the whites:
Don’t you think those difficulties are
sometimes brought on by placing yourself
on a level with the negro—drinking, cut
ting wit, and associating with him? and
the negro* seeing you thus place yourself
on a level with him, ceases to look up to
and respect you, and feels no hesitancy
in dealing with you like another negro—
hence such frequent strife and bloodshed.
The Anglo-Saxon and the negro were
cast in entirely different moulds, made
of different sorts of dust, and can no
more commingle on an equality than oil
and water. There is a walk for each,
and let them stay in their respective
places.

LETTER FROM RAIRDSTOWX.
Particulars of the Late Homicide —Perdee
Acquitted.
Bairdstown, October 28, 1874.
Mr. Editor:—We had a fatal cutting
affray in this neighborhood, near Wood
ville, on Monday night, the 26th inst.,
on the plantation of Col. Janies Davison.
The Colonel had an old-fashioned
corn shucking, at which some hundred
or more negroes gathered, and after they
had quit the corn pile, some of them,
who had been imbibing rather freely of
old pop-skull, got to quarreling and
wrangling with each other. Col. D. in
terfered, and all, as lie thought, had be
come quiet, and the crowd dispersed
about 2 o’clock in tlie morning.
But it seems that a few of them had
remained behind, and in this party was a
white man named Thomas Perdee, who
is in the employ of W. R. Wilson, Esq.,
of this pr& c. Alfred Haley, a colored
man, and notoriously insolent and in
sulting, especially when drunk, becoming
offended with Perdee from some fancied
wrong, made an assault on him with a
heavy pole, striking him a time or two,
when Perdee drew his. knife and stabbed
Haley in the neck, severing the jugular
vein, carotid artery, and the muscles of
the neck, from which lie died in a few
minutes.
Perdee, who is an inoffensive sort of a
fellow, was arrested immediately, and a
court of inquiry was held on yesterday,
at Woodville. Quite a number of wit
nesses were examined, mostly blacks,
and from the evidence the Court decided
that the act was committed in self de
fence, and the prisoner was discharged
from custody.
The general sentiment among the
black and white people is that Haley
received his just deserts. There has
hardly passed a week this year but what
he has had a difficulty with somebody.
He was considered a dangerous charac
ter. While such occurrences are to be
deplored, this community will not grieve
much after him.
We have no news of any other char
acter to tell you. Money is very scarce
and the people are looking for hard
times next year. The Echo is well
spoken of here, and I think Oglethorpe
county will bring up a large subscription
list. It is a live paper, and ought to and
will be a success. With my best wishes
for it, I remain
Yours truly, W. O. Cheney, M. D.
TAKE NOTICE.
1 would respectfully and earnestly call
upon those indebted to the firm of R. S.
Martin & Cos. to lend them a helping
hand in this, their “day of deep distress.”
I hope that the confidence I have placed
in my old cus + miers has not been mis
placed, and the best possible way to
prove that my estimate of them was cor
rect is for them, one and all, to come
forward ami pay off old scores, or so
much as they can, and show at least a
willing mind to help those who, on their
part, have aided them.

There is nothing so tends to shorten

ATHENS IN A MT-SHELL.
Specially Reported for Tlie Oglethorpe Echo.
The notice last week should have been
M. J., and not I. M. Morris.
New buildings are going up in differ
> ent portions of the city.
Bill Weatherly says he is supremely
happy when he reads the Echo.
The Mayor is having very neat cross
ings built at different points on Broad
1 street.
A negro woman is working on the
street as a punishment for using “ cuss
words.”
Sunday night last there were live per
sons immersed at the Baptist Church by
the Rev. Dr. Skinner.
The clever firm of Burke A Hodgson
continue to keep books and stationery
enough to supply Athens and surround
ing country.
Captain A. S. Erwin has returned from
Clarksville Court, and is once more on
duty at his office, in Deupree Hall. As
a lawyer and as a citizen he has the con
' fidence of all classes of society,
i Sock Pruitt has returned from Atlanta.
| He says the fair was a complete success.
! As usual, he looks cheerful, and presents
i the appearance of one who had struck
! the tiger a hard lick and had whipped
him badly.
The directors of the laundry met Mon
day last to make arrangements to go to
work at it. There is no doubt but what
it will be built. An enterprise with such
men as Huggins and Hampton at its
head is hound to succeed.
There is a white man in town who lias
just served out a twenty-years term in
the penitentiary and chain-gang. He
was pardoned before bis time expired
through the intercession of that kind
and clever gentleman, Judge James D.
Pittard.
Mr. Orr, of the firm of England & Orr,
planted the common yam and red potato
in the same bed last spring, and the ones
raised by him partook of both kinds —
one half of a potato being red and the
other half yellow.
The Hope Fire Company elected Maj.
Lamar Cobb as Captain, last Friday
night, to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the resignation of Capt. Ed Bishop. The
company visited the house of the Major,
when lie invited them in, when they
were made to partake of refreshments,
and entertained in that hospitable man
ner for which the Major is celebrated.
Last week the negroes held an immi
gration meeting at the Court House.
Several speeches were made by men of
their own color. Since the election they
are somewhat scared with Clark county,
and speak of emigrating to Mississippi.
Good for Georgia, but how about Missis
sippi?
“ Tree patriots they, for be it understood,
They have their country for their country’s
good.”
Not long since a revenue officer step
ped into Ike Moon’s bar-room and called
for a drink of corn whiskey, which was
handed him, together with sugar, lemon,
and bitters. The Yank took a good pull,
set down his glass and asked the price.
“Ten cents,” replied Ike, in his mild,
pleasant way. “ Ten cents ! echoed the
Yank, furiously ; consider yourself un
der arrest for swindling the best govern
ment the world ever saw; for any man
wlio can sell as good liquor as that for
ten cents is either a distiller or has stolen
it!”
The people were greatly disappointed
on the 22d inst., in not hearing their
standard-bearer, Captain McMillan,
speak on that night, as was advertised.
All were anxious to hear one,so gifted,
and so “ honorable a man,” as they be
lieve him to be. If he will be as faithful
a sentinel in Congress as he was in the
Legislative balls of Georgia, the people
may be satisfied that he was the success
ful competitor over the distinguished Ben
Hill. The death of his child prevented
him from attending on that occasion.
He has the heart-felt sympathy of all in
his loss.
DRUGS AND CHEMICALS.
li. T. Brumby & Co-., the ILe drug
gists of Athens, have just received a fine
stock of chemicals, pure drugs, Granular
Effervescent Salts of Iron and Strych
nine, Pepsin, Bismuth and Strychnine,
and Pepsin and Bismuth. The especial
attention of physicians is called to the
card of this firm. Their drugs are of the
purest quality, and prices reasonable.

COTTON GIN.
Mr. W. T. Patman says he will guar
antee one pound of lint cotton for every
three pounds of cotton in the seed car
ried to his gin, and if the seed cotton is
aNo. 1 article, he can do better; and
besides this it makes as good lint as any
other gin in the county. If you try him
one year, you will have to move out of
the county before you can quit him.

Organization of a Lodge at Mount Pleasant.
Mount Pleasant, Oct. 23, 1874.
Mr. Editor: —Some weeks since, the
people of this community conceived the
idea of raising a Lodge of Knights of
Jericho, as a part of the grand army of
moral reform, and to do something, in a

Accordingly, a dispensation from the
Grand Lodge was procured, and Friday

Your correspondent will not under
take to tell how many anxious hearts
i beat with emotions, mingled with fear
and hope, as the hour drew nigh, but
time —how fast it brings distant objects
near—soon found us all on hand and
ready for work.
There was a large number of gentle

REPLY TO “ GLIDE.”
Mr. McCooly Steps to the Front in De
fence of Crawford.
Oglethorpe Cos., Ga., Oct. 20, 1874.
Mr. Editor— Dear Sir:—l noticed,
in your last issue, a letter from one who
signs himself “ Glade.” I agree with
him as regards the merits of the Echo,
but I, too, know some of those fellows
that were reared near the Glade ; and I
don’t think you puffed them a bit too
much. I know them to be all you de
scribed them. I know some of them are
good at telling tales and eating chestnuts,-
too, (provided they can get them to eat, )
but I know they mark goods remarka
bly low. He says, “hold your ear close.”
Beware, Mr. Editor, for he says “ birds of
a feather flock together.” Now I want
the Echo to be a grand success. $o :
please don’t let me catch you flockin
with such birds ; for everything partake
of the nature of its author. If what he.
says about the birds be true, it strike
me there is a slight contradiction when
he says he often sees these fellows that
tell such tales and mark goods so high in
company with that virtuous fat man.
Mr. Editor, I think I know “Glade”—
he is a good, clever fellow, likes goobers
and enjoys a tale well told. But don’t
risk your ear too close to him.
P. Y. McCooly.

nuther lettur.
CAREFUL COTTON PICKING PAYS.
Let cotton picking be pressed with all
your energy and force, so as to gather
the lint as fast as the bolls open. You
lose both in quantify and quality by de
lay. The first picking should be well
sunned. Do not allow your hands to
pull off the bolls while picking, as they
are sometimes inclined to do; and avoid
picking immediately after a shower. In
all cases where large quantities a r e
stored in bulk, stir the heaps oecasioi -
ally, and expose the cotton to the air, o
keep it from heating. Keep thedifferei t
qualities of cotton separate, so as to
avoid selling mixed cotton for the j rice
of the poorest portion of it. It is best, if
practicable, to gin cotton as soon as it is
dry, as it is far safer in bales than lying
in bulk in the gin house.
FINE CORN AND COTTO .
Mr. A. W, Wilkins, of Goose Pond,
sent us this week a specimen of corn and
cotton that would cause the p 1 a titers of
the Mississippi Valley to weep that th y
had to till such poor land. We w ill n,
attempt to tell about the corn, for fear f
having our word disputed, whi< h wouhi
necessitate our employing a fighting edi
tor ; but one stalk of the cotton contain
ed 208 boils, and the other was over 7
feet high. It was of the Simpson variety.
