Lincoln County, Ga., Oct. 25. 1879.
Editor Journal .'—l have but little
news to write, but I’ll write you a
short le'tcr anyway. The crops in
Lincoln are very spotted There is
a variety of opiuiios as regards the
average. You can hear of a flue crop
of corn or cotion in most any locality
—better than common—but, on the
whole, tho crops will be short. Up
land coni amount* to nihility. The
fall has been particularly favorable to
late cotion where rust has not taken
bold, b t the dry weather baa check
ed the sowing of fall oatr. The rain
on the 18th was heavy. Savannah
has climbed out of its banks a few
feet, doing some damage to corn and
cotton tiiat came in its reach. I look
for a high riv* r on the t ext wet spell.
Next week is court week over here,
why can t you fix up and ome over?
I never I;ear'd of your being in the

Letter from Dealing.
Deabxno Ga., Oct. 1879.
Editor Journal:
The regular Fall Term of the Su
perior Justice Court convened at this
place ob Saturday the 25th. The
docket wa unusually light, there
being but two cases, .... I they were
continued. In addition to the local
bar I noticed in attendance Mr. C. H.
Shockley, of Harlem. The Judge
presided with his usual dignity, and
he has one of the most efficient con
stables in the county. When the
Judge is at a 1 ass to find a place to
hold his Court all he ras to do is to
notify John Rai/ord and he can take
a dry goods box and t~o cross ties
and e?ect an altar of justice quicker
than any man you have ever seen.
I am sorry to say that George Wil
lis, a young man who was engaged
with Aiken Stanford in sawing wood,
received a very painful and severe
cut on his ieft hand, severing the
thumb and necoud finger from the
hand Dr. Usry, however, thinks he
can s.*ve the hand. George is doing
well at thin tune.
Henry Phillips lias declared him-
seif for Bayard and Gordon, and says
the defeat iu Ohio will be reversed
in November 1880. He eavs he pre
dicted this thing when he parsed
through that State early in the snm
‘mer.
Stephen is breathlessly awaiting
the news from the New York S ate
election in November. Ho predicts
tht election of Robiuson by a small
majority.
Isaac Stapi ton contemplates mov
ing t-:> Pope Hill in Jefferson county
aud going into the mercantile busi
ness. If he does Dealing will loose
a good citizen and Jefferson gain one
more genial gentleman.
Tom Clark is fast pushing himself
to the front ronk> of the mcrehautile
nsmess. His idea is quick sales and
small profits.
I noticed Cupt. Howard out at
Court. H is as genial aud good

Down hi la iliac* raw.
On the .6 nit. I attended my first
negro wedding. As soou as I got in
nearing, the tramping of feet and
barking of dogs rang iii my ears.
When I reached the top of the lull,
to my surprise I beheld about two
hundred negroes, of all ages and
sizes, clad in garments of all colors,
sorts an.l fashions. The preacher
was there iu read inn -s, and soon the
word was given “Clear de way an’
let’em come P Two couples walked
out, in good order without any con
fusion, aud the parson spit iu his
hands and tied both knots at one
standing, having taken the job at
wholesale rates. As so mas the cer
emony was concluded he cried out,
“Salute de bride- !" and then each a
kissing aud snicking was never
heard. **’
When the announcement was made
that supper was ready they rushed in
li e sheep go ng through a gap when
the be 1 wether leads. T\.e little fel
lows fared badly. They were elb >\v
ed out of tie way, aud run over and
trod on, and ns> dup generally. As
many got to the table as could, and
then provisions began to move.—
Every once-iii-n while the sound would
come from the dining room “Da’s
oufceu meat in hear !’
Old Jake stood around the carving
table like an old ridge eoou and yelled
back, “Gd away frnra dar! yer ain’t
a gwine ter git ro mo’!”
I lit my torch and led them.

Tt is >:iid there is n lx y in Concord,
New Hampshire, who can rep -at the
multiplie d:om table backwards, and
he is only nine years old.
We know that boy. We were rover
in Concord lmt we know him. We
lived r ex' door to that boy when we
were a boy, a.d it is not so long ago
but that we remember him distinctly.
He always went to bed at eight
o’clock, and had a slight cough. He
brusi ed his hair back of his ears, and
carried a st- re handkerchief, and
when be played marbles it was to
wiu. He always got home from
school boon* we did, and employed
the interval in detailing to his mo.li
the “ oitiug” that boy next door was
getting. And indeed we were get
ting it, but then* was no special in
terest iu it for other folks. He was
the model boy, the boy our parents
used to point to, aud speak of, in
mingled admiration and regret, while
unfitting u~ for anything herder than
a ponltic *. He never ran away from
school, nor st ; • m >uey, but lie us-.-i
to throw oval ■.■ -Id people when
tiny v.-ru‘; I -oku g, and unse.fi- y
throw rlt o ' ns. Aud then
see thyl bi\ ... around into our
vara i jam •- ■, ‘nr, bread. That
w ;.i the hist Lather—that was the
ci u<ax to all the sorrows our young
hearts knew'. We could have wil-
Migiy forgiven everything else, but
ilmt jam upset us. It went right
down into our heart of hearts, and it
rankles there yet. If sent ns into
the house bawling for jam, aud get
ting it, but not on our bread. We
remember that with ghastly distinct
ness.
“Man wants but little here below,
He is uot hard to please,
But every woman that we know
Wants * very thing she sees.”
When Artemus Ward was exhibit- |
ing his show in Salt Lake City, his
complimentary tickets £o the city
officials read as follows ; “Admit i
bearer and one wife.
At Rancho Grand, Texas, two
highwaymen came into Brown’s store, j
bought cartridge* for tic ir Henry j
rifles, turned the muzzle in Brown s
diu ction and made him hand over ;
8500.
The great E st River bridge enter- |
prise to connect New York and Brook
lyn, has already cost $11,073,820, and !
the trustees want 81,700,000 more to
complete it, which they think they
can do in eighteen months.
It was court week at a country tav
ern, and a late comer was given one
of a dozen cots, which had been put
up temporarily in the parlor. There
was a grand chorus of snores from
the other cos. After an hour or
more of this uproar, one of the most
rousing snorers brought up with a
suort, and was suddenly silent. A
Frenchman who occupied a cot in the
extreme corner of the room, exclaim
ed: “Thauk God, you ish dead!”
