Tfiero were a number of prominent characters who figured with tbe Cherokee tribe of Indians while they occupied the Northern portion of Georgia, and none more prominent or conspicuous than Jeter Lynch and Katy Ward, two half-breeds, who aie charged by traditional testimony with being the perpetrators of more wanton, fiendish' and hellish crimes upon the whites and red men of other tribes than any other two porson ages that ever figured in Georgia. Soon after the settlement of the first colony at Charleston S. C., a number of'adventursome men, mostly Ger mans, made their way far into the interior of the Cherokee nation in search of gold and with a further purpose, no doubt, of satisfying a desire to see how far west the new world extended. When they reached the far-fumed Nacoochea valley, then the home of the most chivalric and enlightened'portion of the Cherokee tribe, suho of them matU'iod Indian l squaws, and quite a number of them never returned to the white settle ments. Jeter Lynch and Katy Ward were descendants of these restless and adventuresome men, and were trained to all the athletic pur suits and wandering customs of the tribe. Lynch grew up to be a man far above the usual size' of the men of bis tribe. Tbe cross between the sturdy German, liis father, and the athletic Indian woman, his mother, produced a compound of the san guine, billions and lymphatic tem peraments, the blending of which among the Anglo-Saxon has pro duced the most powerful men of our species, and has giveu to the ring a majority of the celebrated prize lighters of the country. The re fuKimmts of civilization never orig inate iu this class, and indeed a handsome woman is never found in it, l• nt nevertheless for the weightier achievements of civiliza tion this class furnishes more than its quota. Jeter Lynch was born a leader* At an early age he was made a chief in his tribe, and about this time the white men from both the Caroiiuau and Georgia colonies commenced to make frequent raids into the Indian country, much to the annoyance of the men of the for est. At an early date stringent meas ures were adopted to put a stop to these frequent incursions. Jeter Lynch was a cool, calculating man, and under ati sorts of circumstances he was a dangerous competitor. He was as brave as a lion, as far-seeing as an eagle, and as sly as a fox. Pris oners were continually falling into his hands, and but few of them e*er lived to tell the tale of the tortures to which they were subjected by order of, and under the personal su pervision of the chief himself. The “dippped-oak,’ a noted place in, Habersham county, is where tradi tion says he used to cut the lingers of his prisoners off ou his return from his frequent raids to the thinly populated settlements on the Savan nah stud Broad rivers. This done, he had no fears of their ‘ rising” at the dead hours of the night and seiz ing the guns of their captors and de stroying them in their own camp. Then again, with their lingers off, no resistance could be made even to the women and children, who it is said, in many instances, picked out the eyes of prisoners, and whipped them on their uaked backs with thorn bushes, and bamboo briars. One in stance is related in which twenty-five prisoners in one lot, mutilated and . whipped until they were raw, were t ikeu to Toccoa falls and pushed off, cue by one, by Katie Ward.

MAY 24, 1878. “Grandma’ Holcomb, of White county, who have seen Jeter Lynch and Katy Ward and know personally [of many of their barbarous and cruel acts. Now for the connection of a prom inent historical fact and I have done with this article. Webster, Worces ter and all the cyclopedias of the day, report that Lynch, after whom “lynch-law” was named “was an old Virginia farmer, who, having caught a thief, instead of delivering him to the officers of the law, tied him to a tree and flogged him with his own hands.” lam satisfied that the first report in the books on the subject) after which all the subsequent ac counts have been copied, \va3 a mis take so far as the location of the res idence of Lynch wa3 concerned. Jeter Lynch was the barbarous creature after whom the law, (a misnomer) xvtia name*), it was an every day occurrence with him to whip, cut maim, mistreat and kill human be" ings who happeued to fall into his power. He knew no law, owed no allegiance to any power higher than his fiendish will. The “chopped oak,” the Toccoa and Tallulah falls and the summits of Tray, Currahee and Yonah mountains, all have their horrible legends that have been banded down from colonial times and the early days of the Republic, of the tortures inflicted at the hands of Jeter Lynch. There is a moun tain iu White county named for him, and at its foot, on lot of laud No. 52, in the 3d district of originally Hab ersham, (now White county,) are three lonely graves, plainly to be seen, with a soap-stone head-stone lying near by, which marks the last resting-place of Jeter Lyncb, his wife and Katy Ward. A party of white men, “on the make” many years after they were buried, disin terred Katy, and took from her grave all her jewelry and trinkets, which it is said, were very valuable. The bones were again buried in tbe same grave by other parties. A man named Enoch AVood, some forty years ago, stole Lynch’s tombstone and used it for a time in the furnace of a distillery. Moses Horshaw, who at the time owned the land on which Lynch was buried, took out a warrant for Wood for mutilating a grave, and he left tbe country and never returned. The tombstone was returned to its place broken, and now lies several feet,, (rom the graves near the race that Rjuveys a limpid stream of water from the summit of Lynch’s mountain to the residence of Green Holcomb, Esq. The old peo ple about Lynch’s mountain are all under the impression that Jeter Lynch was the man after whom “Lynch law’’ was named, and no one will doubt that he is entitled to the honor (?) after hearing his bloody career portrayed by witnesses, yet living, who have seen Lynch lace to face, and heard of his crimes, while he was living, told by those who had friends, neighbors and relatives to suffer from his cruelty. At. V. E. Hearty Breakfast. In a large majority of cases it will be found.that the best and heartiest meal in the day should be eaten in the morning. If the closing repast of the days has not been excessive in quantity or indigestible in quality, the stomach will be rested and ac tive after the individual has had a cool bath. The stomach will then respond quickly to the necessary gas tric juice for the solution of food, and if a fair amount of exercise is taken during the day, a large mass of food will be assimilated and con verted into blood and tissue. With a good substantial breakfast, no greater amount of food will be re quired during the remainder of the day. One other meal will be ample, and that might better be taken from two to three o’clock in the afternoon than at any later period. The breakfast may be made from any kind of wholesome food, and the fewer kinds the better. The din ner should be light and readily di gested if sound sleep is desired, and strong appetite and perfect powers of digestion next day. One “square meal” in every twenty four hours is all that can be taken care of by many weak stomachs, and more than this is in excesss and induces headache, nausea and distress. If dinners were abandoned and especially late and heavy dinuers, myriads of dys peptics would be cured. + A Sable Mother’s Warning.

What the Newspapers have to say of Gainesville. In order that our readers may hear of the kind and complimentary mention of our section in the papers of Georgia, we give a synopsis of what a few have said. The accounts are many aud in many cases so lengthy that it wuuld take a paper three times the size of the Eagle to hold them all. Macon Tc-legraph] About 11 a. m., the train reached Gainesville and the guests were quar tered at the various hotels. It was the lot of the writer and family to be assigned to Gen. Loug street’s new hotel, THE PIEDMONT, which is leased by Messrs. Tram mel and Smith. It is a commodious and well kept establishment, with at tentive servants and a bountifully supplied table. Tbe same firm will open the New Holland Springs on the 15th in stant, and the “Porter” very soon after. They will certainly have their hands full, but seem in no way lack ing in resources or energy. A VISIT TO NEW HOLLAND. On the afternoon of our arrival Col. Foreacre conveyed the excur sionists in his special train to New Holland Springs, distant only three miles, which is a charming spot, handsomely improved, and is ex ceedingly popular, and so is the Piedmont Hotel, which was crowded with guests last Summer. There aTo numerous other well kept hotels and boarding houses in Gainesville, and the people are affa ble aud courteous to strangers, and seem resolved to build up their pleas ant little city which is certainly one of the most desirable points for health aud recreation in Georgia The place contains about 3,000 inhabi tants, a line academy, numerous handsome buildings, and will soon be the seat of a first-class female col lege, provided the unpleasant jarrings concerning the location which now threaten the enterprise, can be har moniously reconciled. To the peo ple of the seaboard Upper Georgia is a far more agreeable and less ex pensive resort for health in the sum mer months than the far distant north. Hartwell Sun : In a short time we were duly de posited here iu Gainesville, and be ing rather in an eating humor, wo launched into about the first hotel we struck for breakfast. It proved to be the Piedmont, a large hotel, built, and kept a few years ago by General Long-street. It is an exten sive hotel, well kept by J. G. Tram mell Sc Son. Ilefreshed by a good, hearty Gainesville breakfast, we bad tho day before us, pleasantly spent* it, passing about the city, viewing its beauties and admiring its charms. It is sometimes called tho “Queen City,” and that is a fitting name in tho truest sense of the word. With nearly all its buildings new and tastefully constructed, its well shaded walks and groves, its crystal water, its cool, health-giving breezes wafted from the mountains, and em inently located amidst the most pic turesque and attractive scenery to bo found in tho State, Gainesville is indeed a “Queen City.” Add to t his a citizenship as generous as they are warm-hearted, as noble as they are true, and yon have no place that aff mis greater facilities of leading a joyous, happy life. The people of Gainesville are as clever as they can be, aud not only are ttiey clever; but they are a public spirited and enter prising people. They run three newspapers, support two large schools; have just erected a large brick two-story College budding; have just located the lot aud are pre paring to commence operations on a Baptist Female College, and have made a splendid commencement in the way of a public library. They are a live wide-awake, “pushative” people—always got an eyo to the main chance, and ready, willing and awaiting to “press” (no pun) for ward all laudable schemes. The brilliant aud generous manner in which they have entertained the members of the Press during its Convention here, reflects undying honor on Gainesville that will never be forgotten. Brunswick Advertiser. Gainesville is situated fifty-three miles from Atlanta, iu a high and mountainous country, and owiDg to its delightful climate, pure water, pure springs and nice hotels, has be come, of late, a great resort for those able to seek a cooler clime during the summer months. Through the generous hospitality of the people of this city, the entire press have been entertained in princely style, free of cost. This section of the great State of Georgia, is as yet in its infancy. Its vast resources of metals, both use ful and precious, as yet undeveloped, will soon bring hither a teeming pop alation. Why, just think of it, gold was dug up iu the streets, here to day. Mr. W. W. Habersham, mining editor of The Eagle, (and, by the way, well known in Brunswick) in forms us that the deposits of gold and silver hereabouts are excellent, and that machinery is now being erected near by for collecting the same. Toccoa Herald : We joined the excursion at Toccoa on its return to Gainesville and after a delightful ride of little more than an hour, over a portion of the best managed and best equipped Rail road iu the South, we reached that charming “Mountain City” yclep’d Gainesville, where we were most kind ly and hospitably cared for by our ex cellent friend Mr. John T. Wilson. Auguste Chronicle; The meeting at Gainesville was a success. It was more largely atten ded than any Convention siuce the organization of the Press Assoation. There were about seventy papers re presented by over one hundred dele gates. The people of Gainesville be have handsomely. They entertained the members, aud left nothing un done in contributing to thir enjoy ment. I)r. Bradley, tbe Mayor, re ceived the members very cordially in behalf of tliß citizens. Colonel John B. Estes delivered au eloquent ap dress of welcome iu behalf of the local press an 1 library’. Dr. Bradleys' address was brief but pointed, while Colons! Estes’address was pronoun j ced by all to be in excellent taste both ! as to the matter and manner of de- I livery * * * * The city of Gainesville is situated on a hill. Therefore its light cannot be hid The town is improving. The clmate is all that can be desired. The water is good and the air is pure aud in vigorating. The people are honest and virtuous. They have schools and churches, aud railroad, aud tele graphic facilities. Asa Summer re sort, Gainesville presents attractions “lor the people of this section. There are several large hotels in the town and vicinity, where good accommoda tions can be at reasonable [rates. Tliere is a vast amount ot mineral wealth in this section await Lug the advent of capital and skilled -labor for development. Dr. Haber sham, the geological editor of the - Eagle, speaks in glowing terms of the vyealth that lies hidden in the moan tains of Northeast Georgia. He saj s that the prospect for development is encouringing. Several capitalists have already invested and others are making personal investigation. The future of Gainesville is inviting. The editorial fraternity are most favorably impressed with the people jmd the town and its surroundings. Monroe Advertiser; Our party returned to Gainesville End spent Thursday night, and early on Friday morning were en route to Atlanta to enjoy the pleasure of au Excursion over the Western and At lantic rord. We cannot speak too highly of the hospitality of tho citi zens of Gainesville. For our part we lsid not expect such unbounded hos pitality. But we found ail the hotels Of that city of hotels, at the disposal of the editors with doors thrown wide open to go in and out as they •fSeased, with expenses all arranged beforehand by the people of the city. A committee, composed of the news paper men there and other citizen, iv%re in constant attendance upon the convention and were untiring in their efforts to make the visit of each one really delightlul. . -Jonesboro News. The hospitality was unbounded. Gainesville as a summer resort can not be excelled.

The Press of Georgia have never been more liberally and hospitably entertained than the people of Gaines ville aud the railroads have done in this instance. Col. B. W. Wrenn, of the Wertern Sc Aalantic road, and Major Houston, of the Atlanta and Air-Line road, will be emba med in the memory of the present editorial fraternity of Georgia. Nothiug was neglected or left undone that would contribute to tho pleasure aud ac comod-tionof the “Colonels.” Tliotnasviile Euterprise; We have the largest delegation ever seen at a Press Convention and Gainesville is determined to make them, enjoy themselves if posible. The members who reported all had cards given them, showing to what places they had been assigned and introducing them to their hosts. We are most comfortably quartered at the Brown House, kept by our old time friend Mark C. Few, who is married and keeping one of the best hotels we have stopped at in many a day. We were most agreably sur prised at meeting him and still more so to hud him in this business.— Gainesville is a considerable place, doing a good business and bound to grow, as this country is developed. It extends from the railroad depot for a mile to this point, which is the centre of the old town, and goes on for some distance farther. It is a city of hotels, there being at least six of them to our knowledge. Certainly parties coming here for the summer seed never lack for accommodations. Cue couutry is elevated, the water fine, and the climate perfectly healthy. Mineral springs are numerous in the immediate vicinity and the railroad, with the street car line, render them easily accessible even those who stop immediately in the town. Carroll Comity Times: After getting an excellent supper at the Piedmont House, we repaired to the scene of action, Library Hall, were we found a merry crowd, all seemingly enjoying theiuseves very much. The ladies of Gainesville were out in force, and we must say right here, that the mountainous re gion of that country seems to be pe culiarly adapted to the development of beauty, judging from the rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes and graceful figures of the fair sex that we saw present. On the next morning, Fri day, we-bid Gainesville adieu. The pleasant time spent in this beautiful city of the mountains, as well as the kind and hospitable treatment by its noble citizens, will long be re membered and treasured up by the members of the Fourth Estate. Gwiuuolt Her&kl : Arriving at Gainesville, we found that urbane gentleman, Col. Rad wine, Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, prepared to assign homos to all, notwithstanding there were at least fifty more than was ex pected. We cannot permit the op portunity to pass without returning our thanks to Mr. Few, of the “Brown House,” for his kindness to us during our stay. We never passed under a more hospitable roof, and bis kind attention will bo long remembered. * * * The large number of vis itors aud seekers for health who come into this’ section during the summer months, have demanded an extensive increase in its accommoda tions. There will j certainly be no complaiut in the Juture, for, while the number is expebted to increase, it would be hard to overtax the pro visions made for their accommoda tion. Gainesville has three large hotels and a number of first-class hoarding houses. At Gower’s Spring, two miles above town, and connecting with the depot by a street railway, is another extensive Lotel. New Holland is supplied with a good hotel, and a number of cottages where a large crowd can be accommodated; and the Sulphur Springs, that fa mous place of resort in the olden times, will soon be open for guests with an entirely new outfit. Hawkinsville Dispatch, j The Association ipent two days and nights at Gainesville—the guests of its generous and hospitable people. Gainesville is the “gem city” of the mountains. The purity of its water, the salubrity of its climate and the culture aud refinement of its citizens are sufficient to recommend it to all our friends in Southern Georgia who desire to enjoy a few weeks or months of recreation away from home. Aud then the beauty and charms of the ladies of Gainesville (if we may, as a married man, be so permitted to express ourself) are enough to attract visitors from all sections. We shall long remember our visit to Gainesville, and the many pleasant acquaintances and reminiscences at tendant thereon. * * * * * * We know of no more desirable or de lightful a point to spend a portion of the summer season than Gainesville, in North East Georgia. The climate is salubrious, the water pure, the at mosphere bracing aud invigorating, and the citizens sociable and refined The surrounding scenery is very good, and accommodations abun dant. During our recent jaunt to and sojourn in Gainesville we were tho guest of Mr. Daniel Quattle baum, who, with the members of his family, made the visit of ourself and our brethren of the press very pleas ant. Mr. Quattlebaum is known to some of the older citizens of Pulaski and adjoining counties, with whom ho did business thirty or forty years ago. He has an exceedingly attrac tive home, fair accommodations in the way of bouse room, aud gives excelieut table fare. He entertains visitors during the summer season, and we recommend him to our friends. His residence occupies a beautiful location, and is convenient to the city.

Leaving Atlanta Wednesday morn idg at 7 o’clock, a few hours ride over the splendid Air Line Itoad brought us the “Mountain City," Gainesville, where we were welcomed with a hearty greeting and generous hospitality by a people who have practiced the “liberal” so much that it has become second nature with them. The writer was assigned to the Gainesville Hotel, kept by Mr. Johnson, and others found homes at the different ho'els and boarding houses. * * * * While in Gainesville we met quite a number of old Mariettians, among them Judge Geo. D. ltice, Rev. Willie Wadsworth, Col. Gordon and wife, Mr. Charlie Dupre and J. R. Barnes, Mr. George Walker, Mr. Walter Shugart and others. We like Gainesville; it is a pretty place, full of energy and enterprise. Some 1,500 people summered there last year, and they expect 2,000 this year. Hamilton Journal. During the convention we had the pleasure of stopping at these Springs and can add our testimonial to the genera! conclusion that Gower Springs is the place to suend the summer. Col. E. N. Gower is the proprietor and manager, and is a whole-souled genial gentleman, who takes great pride and pleasure in se curing the comfort and entertain ment of his guests, and is celebrated as an epicurian who places every thing to tempt the appetite upon his table. The most excellent manage ment of these Springs is remarkable when we reflect that the place where this magnificent and commodious hotel now stands was a dense forest two years ago. Every building about the place is entirely new and all finished up in fine style. A movement is on foot in Chicago to do away entirely with the present system of using gas to illuminate the streets, and substitute in its steal a dozen electric lights at different elevateed points, with which, it is claimed, the entire town could be made almost as light as day, and at much less expense than the present costly gaslight system. The Awful Phonograph. The phonograph is certainly tin most wonderful invention of this or any other age, and the purposes to which it may be devoted an- manifold and surprising. Mrs. Carmeen need no longer sit up until midnight for a late husband —that is, late coming homo. She can now speak her lecture in the diaphragm of the phonograph, at tach one end of a cord to the trank and the other end to the knob of her chamber-door, and retire to her downy couch with the sweet and comforting assurance of having “spo ken her mind” where it will do the most good. Carmeen will come sneaking in at 1 a. m., as usual, and and creep stealthily upstairs, but no sooner does he open his bed-room than that awful phonograph will up and tell him in his wife’s well-known voice, what she thinks of “such con duct as this,’’ winding up with the stem command: “Now come to bed*, you old fool, and don’t sit there blinking like a sick owl!” And all the time this performance is iu prog ress, Mrs. Carmeen may be revel ing in sweet dreams, iu which spring bonnets and the latest love ly thing iu polonaise predominate The phonograph is also capable of playing some pretty shabby tricks, and if Deacon Peppers could have laid his hands on the inventor, a ; few nights ago, he would probably have torn him into two thousand frag ments— more or less. The Deacon is, or was, a good man and a class-leader in the .Brownsville Church. He visited New York recently and wandered into an establishment where several phonographs were on exhibition and for sale. He became much fnrerested in the instrument, and when he spoke into the mouih-piece of one of the machines and heard his own words ground out with startling distinctness he manifested liis ( aston ishmentin one prolonged “W-h-e-wl” Then a happy thought struck him. He usually made a brief address at class meetings, on Friday evenings, and he suddenly conceived the idea of speaking ins piece in the phono graph, purchasing the invention, and surprising the brethren and sisters at the next meeting. The idea was carried into execution to some ex tent. The Deacon charged the pho nograph with au appropriate ad dress, and while he ...was bargain-ug with the ovuer for the instrument, in another part of the room, a rough, bushy-whiskered individual, attired iu corduroy pantaloons and a speckled shirt, slipped in unobserved and howled a-lot of stuff into the same machine. The Deacon paid for and carried off the phonograph, entirely ignorant of the frightful sentences injected into it by the rough person, vvuo, as subsequent events proved, was the intellectual driver of . team, anAuot very choice iu his lan guage- \ The next day was Friday, and iu the evening the Deacon marched into the church with his phonograph un der his arm, and his face illumined with a radiant smile. “My friends,” lie continued, “I have a little surprise for you. Ido not intend to address you this eveu ing. I have brought a substitute to speak for me. This little instrument I have hero (holding up the phono graph) will now address you brielly on your duty to the Church and to suffering humanity.” The Deacon, with a smile ex tending from ear to ear, gave the crank a couple of turns, and illl the color lied from his face as the phono graph thundered forth: “Git up there, you dashed old crip ple ! Whoa, Sal! you blind —’ It was awful. The hair of the brothers in the front pews stood straight up; a sis ter in the back part of the house fainted dead away, and the Sexton yelled “Fire!” “There—is—some terrible mistake here!” gasped the Deacon, after a few minutes of painful silence. “I must have turned the crank the wrong way—or maybe the linch-pin is loose, or the safetj valve has lost a screw or something.’’ And, per spiring at every pore, the Deacon es sayed another turn, and the machine yelled: “Gee, Bill! Where in the dastma tion are you going you son of a mule ! Peddi-whoa-a-a 1 Blast your eyes, can’t you— The awfulness became more aw ful. Thre more sisters fainted, several brothers clapped their hats on their heads and their finger into their ears, and started for the door shout ing “Police J’' and the Sexton hal loed “Murder!’’ while the Deacon wbdly clutched the phonograph by the neck and choked it till it was black in the face, and its eyes bulged out an inch. But ’twas no use. The interna] arrangements of the machine were evidently demoralized, and the cyl inder continued to revolve, grinding out the most frightful language ever heard outside of a political Ward Convention; and when the audience were saluted with “I’ll kuock your dashed brains out, you long-eared—” they didn’t wait for the remainder of the “address,” but got up as one man —and one woman—rod made a dash for the door in a decidedly pan ic-stricken manner. The Deacon, with his face the color of a small pox flag, threw the phonograph over the pulpit, sprang after it and kicked it down the aisle into the street, where the Sexton smashed it with au ax just as the Deacon's address began to issue from its mouth-piece, and then placed it under the hydrant and let a stream of water run on it all night. A Committee was appointed on the spot to investigate what appeared to be the Deacon’s highly improper and painful conduct, and that well meaning person has concluded to move West and grow' up with the country. The late Chief Justice Chase was the originator of the term “greenback,” as applied in the currency. Floating: Feathers. Dr. H. T. Hembold has agaiu be come iusaue; this time he is ver wild and violent. President Hayes sticks to his or der forbidding officials of the gov ernment from making political or ganizations.

When the new National-Green back L ibor-ii donn Party, limited, gets into power, it is going to restrict the hours of labor, so as to give us all time for “social intercourse. ’’ This idea will meet with hearty approval in the newspaper offices.

The Republicans are not symetri cal in their falsehoods, as it were.

Bancroft, the historian, ander whose directions, as Secretary of the Navy, in the administration of Polk, the Naval Academy was estalished, revisited that famous institution on Saturday, for the first time in thirty three years.
