Mb. Edito*—As I ait here in the twi
light, my memory ia tilled with many
scenes atuLwories that were told me of
my boyhood home and neighborhood.
That part of Oglethorpe county known
as Cherokee Corner was one of the
I strongholds of the Indians, and near the
i Comer Clturiit was the dividing line be
j tween the Cherokee nation and the
| whites. Many a time, when a little boy,
while out hunting the squirrel in some
dense wood, most vividly would my im
agination depicture a red man behind
every tree. Often at night would I sit
at an aged relative’s feet and enraptured
listen to his.account of the bloody scenes
enacted almost at our door—and l knew
there was no sensation in his romances,
for lie itad seen the participants and
could go to the very, spot where they
were enacted.
Not more tlian a mile from my home,
on a hill just above Kooky creek, stood
old Fort Knox, the site of which can
still he traced by the almost leveled
mounds of earth. Many stories of dan
ger and privations have been told me in
connection with this historic ground.
In the early settlement of our county it
was one of a chain of forts that served
as a place of refuge for the scattered
neighbors in time of danger. Among
the many thrilling and authentic stories
connected therewith I will relate one:
Near this fort there to-day stands a
giant mulberry tree, and beneath its
peaceful shade was enacted one of the
bloodiest tragedies ever known in the
annals of our county. This old tree has
died within the past year, hut the crime
to which it was a silent witness is so
indellibly impressed upon the minds of
even the present generation that its lo- ,
cation will be remembered long after
this old monarch of the forest has crum
bled into dust.
On the time to which I refer an alarm
of “ Indians about!” had been sounded.
The mother would hastily gather up her
little children and the father shoulder
his trusty rifle, when they would cau
tiously make their way to Fort Knox—
leaving their humble home and mile
furniture to the mercy of the snvag ■
horde—and within its walls to endtm
days of privation and anxiety but com
parative safety.
At the time ,in question among the
refugees in the fort vyis a Mrs. Gracie.
This lady, wearying of her confinement
within its contracted walls, and as no
Indians had been seen, she concluded j
it was a false alarm and so she
home, taking her three little children, i
Soon after this fearless frontier wife had 1
started the report of guns was heard bty i
the inmates of the fort. A band of bold
spirits was instantly organized, who
with then rifles started in the direction ;
that lead to the*home of Mrs. G. Ar
riving at the # mulberry tree mentioned
above, what a spectacle met their gaze:
With the bright sunshine around, the
green leaves above and the birds earrol
ing their sweetest matins—for this spring
day is the anniversary of the terrible
deed—lay the scalped and bleeding form
of this poor woman. Near was her in
fant, with its brains scattered on this
historical tree. The next little fellow
Yvas lying near dead, with its body still
warm, but its scalp gone. The eldest
boy could not be seen. So rudely mark
ing the bloody tree that its location
might not be lost, and sending one of
their number back to the fort with the
terrible tidings, this gallant band push
ed onward, with the vowed determina
tion to .find and rescue the missing boy
nnd to punish the perpetrators. He
was tracked for several days, through a
means and instinct only acquired by a
life’s residence in the wilderness, and at
length was found in a dense swanjp sev
eral miles from the scene, bleeding from
tlie loss of his scalp and nearly starved
to death. It appears that in their haste
the red demons had forgotten to finish
their crime by killing this boy, and as
soon as they bad left he staggered to his
feet and sought a place of safety; got
lost in the trackless forest and wandered
to where he was discovered by his
friends. He was conveyed to the fort,
tenderly cared for and eventually recov
ered and grew up to manhood, but al
ways wore a wig. There are now living
in oui county several old citizens who
have seen and conversed xvitli him.
Amid such scenes as this was our glo
rious old county wrested from the hands
of its original owners and peopled by a
civilized, Christian nation. Surely the
names and every deed of our bold and
daring forefathers should be assigned an
honored place in the history of our
country.
Near this same Fort Knox, a few years
ago, while some workmen were digging
a ditch, a large flint rock, of the hardest
quality, was unearthed. On it was
to be plainly seen the perfect pints of
arrow-heads, and it had evidently been
used by the aboriginals for material
to fashion thestwincient missiles. The
indentures in this rock were as smooth
as glass, and how and with what imple
ment they succeeded in cutting this
hardest of stone I am at a loss to sur
mise. No other rock of this kind was
ever found in this section of country; so
I suppose it had been brought from a
distant quarry.
About a quarter af a mile from my old
home, in a gully on the side of the road,
some two years since, was discovered Ai
Indian’s grave, that had been exposed
by a washing rain. In it was found a
little pot, tne bones of a small animal,
(probably bis dog, which had been slain
that it might accompany its master to
the happy hunting grounds,) and some
other minor articles.
A few miles hence, on what is known
as the Linton place, were many Indian
mounds, formed of ashes, which I hear
have been dug up and used as manure.
From these ash banks, beneath which
are invariably found human and animal
bones and pottery, pipes, stone hatchets
and arrow-heads. lam lead to believe
that the Indians cremated their dead at
a period anterior to the discovery of
America.
I have heard my uncle (who is now
76) tell of many entertaining scenes that
happened in his boyhood. Only a few
hundred yards from his door was the
muster-ground, and many the time and
oft have I heard him relate scenes as lu
dicrous and amusing as those depicted
by Longstreet in his “ Georgia Scenes.”
He had witnessed many terrible fights
with fist, rocks and sticks and some
times even knives. There were on these
occasions horse-races, gander-pullings,
shooting-matches and many other rude
and unconventional sports so prevalent
xvitli the yoemanry of ye olden time.
Before closing this extended sketch I
must mention a grand old man of those
those early days, whose majestic form,
handsome face and dignified yet kingly
bearing always brought to my mind the
picture of an old Roman Counsellor
; lie lived scarcely two miles away, and
scarcely a day passed without my seeing
him. Memory brings vividly W> mind
the picture of myself, then a little boy,
as I sat with open eyes and mouth drink
ing in the many stories of frontier life
and Indian warfare, that this old hero
delighted so well to narrate. He would
vividly depicture scenes of the revolu-
I tion, and relate what he had heard or
knew of Washington, Jefferson and
Randolph—the latter I believe he knexv
personally. Judge Hutcheson was the
name of this old statesman, and but for
his extreme modesty his giant intellect
would have been rewarded with a seat
in the National Congress. J.
Cotton Receipt* ot Crawford.
When the Elberton railroad was first
completed every body predicted that it
would not only sotinu the death-knell
to die commercial importance of Craw
ford. but seriously effect the Georgia
railway by carrying off a large per cent
age of the freights from this depot. We
: last week interviewed the agent, Mr. A.
I.ittle, and he says so far from their be
ing any falling of in freight receipts
there has been a slight increase, which
his books will shoYv. This is particu
larly noticeable with cotton, he having
received and shipped during the year
ending April Ist, T.2SB bales—a larger
number than was ever any previous
year shipped from the CravWord depot.
When we consider that this crop came
entirely from tins county, and that here
tofore a Large proportion of the capp
from, western Elbert was brought to this
point, the above syinouneeinenf seems
almost incredible. The merchants of
the town say there is not any percepti
ble difference in their trade since this
little narrow-guage was campleted. Our
county is now cut off by markets on all
sides, and our varied industries must
look home for support. We think our
people are well prepared to take care of
, themselves.

The GrtM Jury.
j This body, in session since last Mon
day, is once of the ablest juries ever
drawn in the county. They have this
week thoroughly examined into every
matter relating to our county, and we
are informed that their report will be
full and lucid.
Jail Material.
If one harbors any doubt as to the
magnitude and safety of our new jail, let
him visit the site and inspect the piles of
lumber, brick and dressed granite, the
massive doors and windows and finish
ings. It is a mystery to us how all this
material can be utilized in so small a
building.
Whaae Werk la ItT
On top of the little Mountain in this
county is a kind of fort, formed of loose
rock, piled in a circle breast high. For
what purpose this rampart was formed,
and by what race or class of men it was
done, no one knows. It was there when
the first white man climbed this rugged
hill, and there it will remain for centu
ries yet to come.
More Speeded Repair*.
The committee on repairs to Court
house has deeidad to have that bluilding
repainted and penciled off and every
thing around it putin thorough order.
This is exactly right. There is no need of
half completing a job and then leaving
it. The horse-racks are up and are a good
job. a strand of barbed wire has been
stretched to protect the pickets, aud as
soon as Court adjourns the opening next
the rock wall will be filled- in and gra
ded. This committee is performing its
dutv nobly and merits the thanks of the .
public. J j

A Rotter Price Tor Cot ten.
Last week speculators in Augusts were
offering 10 cents for the staple delivered
in that city next fall, which is equiva
lent to 9 3-4 cents at our depots. They
ivere anxious to buy, being spurred on
by the activity in the futures market in
New York. We hail this as a favorable
omen that our farmers will receive a bet
ter priee for the next crop: for we all
know that prices are shaped more by the
bulls and bears in the metropolis Than
on the legitimate foundation of supply
and demand. With even 10 cents for
cotton next fall our farmers can make a
little clear money (i. e., if they raise
their own supplies at home and make it
a surplus crop,) with the assistance of
the rigid economy they now practice.
We do not deem it advisable for plan
ters to dabble in futures, however, as i*
incourages a disposition to speculate or
gamble, and besides did these bulls
nave good and sufficient reason to be
lieve that the staple will command ev en
a better price than their offer, they
would not make it. Since the advance
in cotton receipts at our depots receipts
of stray bales have been astonishingly
heavy dor this season, and consequently
more money than usual is afloat.
The Rond* are Worked.
Last week all the public highways in
the county not heretofore attended to
received their spring working—some be
ing put iu good order while others got
only a lick and a promise. On the road
leading from this place to Crawford sev
eral rocky barriers have been torn up
and the defects improved. While on
this subject, Yve will say a word about
the inconveniences and annoyances inci- 1
dent, to our present system of road Yvork
ing. The command generally comes at
the busiest season of the year, when all
private business and pursuits must be
set aside and a day or more devoted to
this “ public necessity.” Unless you see
fit to lower yourself by working all day
alongside a filthy, lousy set of negroes,
under on overseer, a substitute, accepta
ble to this mongrel creYV must be had,
and you are often annoyed for several
days before a hand can be had, and then,
knowing your necessities, he will de
mand and force you into giving two or
more prices. There are two remedies
open to our people against this dictato
rial evil: First, by levying a tax of $1
per annum on every adult in the county
and witli this money let the highways j
out by contract or hire a gang of hands, j
under an experienced overseer, whose
business it shall be to keep our roads
and bridges in repair. The second, and
Yve think by far the best plan, is for our
Grand Jury to recommend a County
Court when they make their report to
morrow, and then the band of idle ne
groes, incarcerated in our jail and fed at
public expense, will be speedily convic
ted of their crimes, and these being or
ganized into a chain-gang and set to
work upon the roads, will prove a
source of revenue instead of a burthen to
our tax-payers.

WINTERVILLE.
Editor Oglethorpe. Echo :
On Sunday morning of last week, about
2:30 o’clock, Mr. 11. 1). Fleeinan’s dogs made
a noise, and he Yvent out to see what the mat
ter Yvas. Oil nearing his buggy-house he
thought he heard some, one and asked who was
there. Immediately some person rode offin a
gallop, in the direction of Mr. Henry Meyer’s
gin. This aroused his suspicion, inasmuch as
the person left the publie road, on which Mr.
Fleemau lives, and took a country road. Af
ter daylight Messrs 11. D., W. .1. and J. S.
Fleemau took the truck ofthe horse and fbl
loYved him through the woods and old fields
across the the Beaverdafli creek and on into
Madison county to the Athens and Elberton
wagon road, a distance of four or tiye miles ;
but being on foot, they gave up the pursuit,
and returned home. They think that the
horse was stolen and perhaps the thief was
looking for a bridle and saddle. On Monday,
the 14th iust., about 1 o’clock p. m., Mr.
George W. Cunningham, who lives near Pleas
ant Hill, took tip a yellow flea-bitten gray horse
with a piece of rope tied around his neck, j
The Messrs Fleemau and Mr. Cunningham,
think, from the traca, that it is the same
horse that was so hurriedly ridden from Mr, If.
D. Fleeraau’s on Btin tdv morning ,’ind that the
thief had tied him in the woods, aud that he
broke loose and was trying to make his way i
back to his home and owner.
Evidently, there is something wrong. I :
heard yesterday that a Mr. Watkins had lost j
a gray horse. 1 write you the above notsim- !
ply as an item of news, but perhaps it may he
beneficial to the owner of the horse, if lie has
been stolen. Please notice the above in this
week’s issue of your paper, if possible, and
perhaps confer a favor on the owner ofthe
horse and much oblige-. T. A. Harris
P. S. —The horse is apparently about ten or
twelve years old.

A Gf.nti.e Hint. —In our style of climate
with its suddeh changes of temperature, rain
wind and sunshine often intermingled in a
single day, it is no wonder that our children,
friends and relatives are so frequently taken
from us by neglected colds, half the deaths
resulting directly from this cause. A bottle
of Bosehee’s German Syrup kept about your
home for immediate use will prevent serious
sickness, a large doctor’s bill, and perhaps
death, by the use of three or four doses. For
curing consumption, hemorrhages, pneumo
nia, severe coughs, croup or any disease of the
throat or lungs, its success is simply wonder
ful, as your druggist will tell you. German
Syrup is now sold in every town and village
on this continent. San%le bottles for trial

“ German Syrup.”—No other medicine in
the world was ever given such a test of its
curative qualities as Boschee’s German Syrup.
In three years two million four hundred thou
sand small bottles of this medicine were dis
tributed free of charge by Druggists in this
country to those afflicted with Consumption,
Asthma, Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia
and other diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
giving the American people undeniable proof
that German Syrup will cure them. The re
sult has been that Druggists in every town
and village in the United States are recom
mending it to their customers. Go to your
Druggist, Dr. M. H. Thomas, and ask what
htf knows about it. Sample Bottles 10cents.
Regular size 75 cents. Three doses will re
ieve any case.
A Disense that Wrecks the System.
Every function is deranged, every nerve
unstrung, every muscle and fiber weakened bv
fever and ague. It is, in fact, a disease which
if unchecked, eventually wrecks the system.
In all'its types in every phase, it is dangerous,
destructive. Stupor, delrium, convulsions,
often attend it, and cause swift dissolution.
. But when combatted with Hostetter’s Stom
ach Bitters its foothold in the system is dis
lodged, and every vestige of it eradicated.
That benign anti-febrile specific and preven
tive of the dreaded scourge is recognized not
only within our own boundaries, but in tropic
lands far beyond them, where intermittents
and remittents are fearfully prevalent, to be a
sure antidote to the malarial poison and a
reliable means of overcoming disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, of which a vitiated
torrid atmosphere and brackish miasma
tainted water are extremely provocative. All
emigrants and travelers should be supplied
with it.
