When hs saw Mr. L., he stopped short and gave him a scrutinizing look, when Auut Dilsey sgoke, saying: “Uncle Ben,don’t start your eyev out at a stranger; dis ole gentle man was out traveling and come to slay iu our cabin, kase missus she can’t let him stay dar, as she’s got a heap o’ company now.” “Well,” said Uncle Ban, “We s commanded dat if a stranger eornes along we’s got to take him iu an’ give him sich as we have to sei bu fore him ” While Aunt Dilsey wus prepar ing supper Mr. L., learned much about of the mansion from Uncle Ben; h%,learned among o b that they weje a very roiigblftSsfnnnly, but the hostess bad been rt.iaed in the city ofR ch i mo nd. and bad imbibed all the fai/iouable ideas of religion, with b/ little of its true principals, and /ne of its humility.

There bee been eu idea in same of the Counties several miles south, that people here are mostly moonshiner*, delighting to indulge in Bacchanalian orgies. Such is not the cane with the people of Fanni i. They are mostly law abid ing, and the U. H., Internal Reve nue 'awa are as much or more re spected here than in any oounty of all North Georgia. In such counties as Pickens and even parts of Gilmer, aioonshming appears to be a trait hard for some to rid themselves of. In the development of thi® coun ty, and making bet’er paying farms the advent of ihe Marietta & N.Q. R. It, will form an important epoch.

Then they all marveled one with another, aud said, “Yea, yea, If he has offended thee cast him out.
