tion or Memorial Da7" at the North,
ami criticising the speeches of sncli
infcn as Beast Butler on that occasion.
We have no room in the columns of
this paper for the ressnrrection and
discussion of tho buried issues of the
late war, at a time like this, and there
fore consign tho letter of our esteem
edeorrospondont to our waste bas-
HLhotil this and
great!y o'ihge

occasionally says something, second

mising advocate of Democratic prin
ciples. —Savannah News.
—We learn that the Town Council
has ordered the beef stall on Lee
street removed, and that the building
of the now one on Culpepper street
has been stopped. This would all be
well enough, we think, if our City
Fathers would now buy a lot and
have a meat market erected as the
property of the town. It cau be
done at no very great outlay, and
then it would become a source of rev
enue to the town, if properly manag
ed. Let the market be built, then
impose a tax of twenty-live dollars
each on butchers, rent them stalls at
reasonable prices, and prohibit the i
selling of meats promiscuously over j
the town, eompeling those paying no i
license to carry their meats to the
market, and requiring them to pay a
small per cent, to the town on all
sales. This would give us a reliable
meat market, which is certainly great
ly needed.
—We learn that the farmers of
Morvin neighborhood have given up
their Grange organization and organ
ized an Agricultural Society.
LETTER FROM “EX QUIT
MAMTK.”
Crops nud Sheep-Raising in Tel
fair aud Montgomery.
Our Correspondent at a Country Quilt
ing.
MoVillk, lO.j, M. A B. R. R., \
0.i., June sth, 1876. i
Demi Reporter : Again I find my
thoughts wanderiug over the salaman
der hills of Coffee, through tho pnl
raeltto flats of Berrien, to good old
Brooks. Since writing you last 1 have
been most of the time in Tattnal
county, and part of the time enjoying
the “sea breezes of the Oconee.” The
crops in Tattnal are very promising,
and the farming interest is progress
ing finely. For the past four weeks
the farmers have been gathering aud
shearing their sheep, and nearly all
the stock men are complaining about
their slieqp “falling short,” in num
ber, aud they all think they have been
driven off and.sold, or the mark
changed by some unknown party.
Most of the citizens who have a stock
of sheep have worked hard to make
the' busiuess profitable, prefering that
to cotton making; and now when
they have succeeded just far enough
to begin to realize something for
their trouble aud labor, these “two
legged dogs,” as they are called here,
come in and take off their hard earn
ings. I think such crimes should be
made a capital offense by hanging the
rogues to the first limb.
The weather has been very dry for
the last six weeks, until a few days
since we were blessed with a good
rain. The farmers are all cheerful,
and think with a few more rains there
will be plenty made. I attribute the
success of the farmer and the pros
perity of these counties to the small
! amount of cotton planted.
I suppose you have heard of a difi
culty that occurred at No. 12 on this
■ road a few days since between Mr.
A. Curry and his son, in which the
former was struck across the head
; with a stick by the latter, and for sev
i oral days was thought to be dauger
i onsly hurt; but I now hear he is iin
j proving. Young Curry was arrested
and confined in Eastman jail, but I
suppose ho has since made his escape.
There was a Mr. Roberson found dead
bv the road-side a few days since,
supposed to have died from heart dis
ease.
The health of Montgomery and
Telfair is said never to have been
better, and drunkenness is not toler
ated, for the law prohibits the selling
of spirituous liquors in these counties.
There are a few in Telfair whose li
vens lia e not run on', that -are still
selling it, bill in Montgomery ■ county
there is not a drop of liquor sold.
Mr. Editor, I hope an occurronce
that happened to your correspond
ent will not lie uninteresting to your
, many subscribers. Ou one of the
lonely roads that I happened to trav
el I called at a house to get a drink
-of water, and as soon as I drove in
front of the door I noticed there was
a huge quilting going on, and think
ing there might be some fun for this
“rambler” at that quilting, I asked
the lady if I could stop until after
dinner, as it was then ten o clock and
excessively warm. “Oh, certainly,”
■ she said, “come in.” On entering the
house I noticed there was not an other
man to be seen. I was kindly invit
ed to take a seat at -the quilt by the
side of the best looking young lady,
! handed a needle and commenced to
: quilt—the ladies praising my good
work, and me, a poor deluded idiot,
sticking the needle under my thumb
nail every stick, trying to deserve
their compliments. Since that oc
currence I have only thought of my
self as the softest kind of clay in the
hands of skillful potters. About two
o’clock the quilt was finished, and af
ter being cut down four of the young
ladies picked it up and started boldly
for your correspondent. 1 was power
less and thought submission the best i
plan, and I was soon wvappel up
head and ears in the quilt and compell
ed to stay there for one hour. The per-;
spiration flowed freely as with the \
smothered execrations, L thought of
all of you Quitmauites, and think 1
said “farewell, farewell.” On being
unwrapped I was inform'd that that
was strictly a ladhs' quilting, and no ,
man was allowed to come to it until j
night, when there would be a grand ]
“hop.” I was compelled to stay to the
“hop,” and if I suffered in the day,
the enjoyment that night fully com-;
pensated for my sore thumb and quilt
torture. I leave for Dooly county in
a day or two, and will let you hear ;
from Dooly and Wilcox er’o long.
Ax Ex-Quitmanite
We are in receipt of a private letter
from an old friend who lives at Towns
Station, on the M. &B. R. R. He
savs that crops are looking well
but very little cotton is planted in that
section—the oat crop just housed,
very good. Here we will take occa
sion to say that naturally the lands in
that section are considered poor, and
yet the people are in a more prosper
ous condition than any part of the
State, and perhaps of the Southern
Stat.es; and it is owing almoust en
tirely to the fact that they have nev
er been foolish on the cotton ques
tion. They are generally a good, re
liable, homespun, hog and hominy
sort of people, who have turned their
attention to the education and im
provement of their children, and have
in their midst some of the best
schools in the State.
