The writer has just returned from an
other jaunt among the old red hills of
Georgia, this time extending his journey to
Chattanooga, the great manufacturing
town of our sister State, Tennessee, and then
sweeping back into Southwest Georgia. Our
point of departure was from Macon, over
tlie easy-going Central, and Griffin, thoonly
place of debarkation save for a change of
cars at Atlanta, ere reaching Rome. All
along the lino of route the crops of corn and
cotton were simply magnificent—better
indeed than have Been known for quite a
term of years. All the same the croaker is
still alive and as lugubrious as ever. One
of that ilk made the depressing remark that
there was “no use counting chickens before
they were hatched.” In the course of a
long farming experience, he had never
known the crop promise as flattering at this
stage of the season but in three instances,
and in each case tire yield of cotton that
year had never been shorter.
According to the doctrine of chances this
will not happen always, however, so the
people may take heart and hope for the
best At least it is a blessed reflection that
the combined croaking of all the human
ravens in the laud cannot gainsay the truth
of au assured and abundant corn harvest.
The fact is made patent by the lusty ears
filled to the top with plump grains of this
valuable cereal, which greet the eye of tho
traveler alike in North, South, East
mul West Georgia from hundreds
of thousands of broad acres. Already
fodder pulling nas commenced and the
stalks fairly stagger under their precious
burden. Our dear old commonwealth will
bo the Egypt of tho South next year—a
very cornucopia.
Griffin is cue of tho most healthy and
prosperous towns in the State. It is steadi
ly improving, and when the projected rail
roads are finished her progress will be still
more rapid.
Prohibition in Atlanta has proved a
bonanza to tho place, and large quantities
of liquor go up the rood every day. Sev
eral important manufacturing establish
ments are located lien* and the .surrounding
country is peculiarly adapted to the growth
of tho vine, peaches, pears and other fruits.
WOOD. THE BIGAMIST AND THIEF.
New revelations continue to come in con
cerning the former career of this infamous
impostor.' Never was an innocent family
and unsuspecting community more basely
outraged. Tho whole story fully' written
out would vie with the most sensational
work of fiction in its varied phases and
startling incidents. What a lesson to
parents to guard the associations of their
families more carefully. It is to be hoped
the miscreant will bo arrested even yet and
brought, to justice.
ROME,
which is posted upon more hills and rivers
than the imperial city whose name she
bears, is fast becoming the metropolis of
Northwest Georgia. Already she claims
12,000 inhabitants, and is becoming a nota
ble railway and manufacturing centre.
Her navigable streams, too, the Coosa and
Ostanaqlf, add no little to the commercial
importance of the city. When the obstruc
tions to the channel of the former have
been removed and a
GRAND WATER WAY
to the Gulf of Mexico has been opened up,
who can set any limit to the future pros
perity of Rome? The alluvial valleys of
the vicinity are far superior to Mississippi
bottoms in salubrity, and equally fertile,
producing immense crops of cotton and
grain. A magnificent hotel also is to be
built forthwith which will supply every
modern convenience and luxury to the trav
eling public. These hurried notes, however,
written rv.iente ciilamo, merely purport to
afford passing glimpses of the places vis
ited mid the impressions made by each upon
the miiul of tho writer. From so short an
inspection of course it is impossible to outer
into details,

BLESSED DAY OF REST,
the more keenly enjoved in this season of
unprecedented heat'and dust. There is
nothing like the abandon of home when this
mercury is soaring into the hundreds. But
it is only a breathing spell he takos, pro
ceeding South, and turning up next in the
flourishing town of
IIAWKINSVILLE.
The citizens of this place are famous for
their enterprise and untiring energy. Proba
bly no town in the State of similar popula
tion can show as many or better stocked
mercantile establishments. The cotton re
ceipts will reach 25,000 bales next fall, and
when the now railroad connections with Sa
vannah on one side and Amerieus on tlie
other, are completed, Hawkinsvilie
will become one of the most
important interior trade centres
in the South. Forty-two years ago the
writer passed through the town in his lmggy
and was ferritd across the Oemulgee. It
was then a mere struggling village noted
for its unhealthiness. Now four capacious
warehouses, a cotton press, which handles
nearly every bale of the fleecy treasure re
ceived, a steamboat line with three steamers
carrying, in the item of naval stores, alone
annually
SIXTY THOUSAND BARRELS,
to te unloaded on the care of the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, and
a big volume of return freights to Abbe
ville and other points 125 miles below; a
barrel factory aud numerous other indus
tries; handsome and extensive blocks of
brick stores; elegant churches; two live and
l'epresonta tive iu us] inpers; au establishment
which puts up the best domestic wines from
the genuine juice of the grape; an artesian
well pure and limpid, and last, but not
least, a highly intelligent people to the num
ber of near 8,000 souls supply the aching
void that then existed.
PERSONAL.
Here, too, that affable and most worthy
gentleman. Judge Grice, who once presided
over tho Macon circuit, and Hon. C. Kib
bor, the present able and indefatigable, but
overworked, Judgo of the Superior Court,
reside, and a long list of eminent lawyers
including United States Marshal Lamar,
besides many other notable citizens whose
names cannot now be given. Tho “Jones
House,” where the writer stopped, is a pleas
ant and well kept establishment. In con
clusion, we but echo the wishes of this
entire region xvhen respectfully urg
ing upon our immediate repre
sentatives in Congress, that they
would unite in pressing an adequate appro
priation for the improvement of the navi
gation of the Oemulgee. It is consid
ered the best river in the State, hav
ing an average depth of from ton to twelve
feet of water in many places. The removal
of a few shoals and other obstructions would
beau incalculable benefit to the interior
commerce of Georgia. Will they take the
hint? Let us wait and see. But “time is
up.” 11. H. J.
“ NOT AT ALL SURPRISED.”
The Last and Best Joke on Our Chief
of Police. ~
From the Athens (Ga.) Banner-Watchman.
While at Tallulah Falls last Sunday I ne
gotiated with a gammon of color to polish
my shoes, and ho undertook the task with
out removing them from my foot. It did
not take me long to discover that my con
tractor was an original character, and pos
sessed of the gift of gab to an alarming ex
tent: Ho was tho queerest looking nigger,
too, you ex T er saw. His head was shaped
like a •orkserow, but you could see at a
glance it contained more than the usual
allotment of shrewd sense. After discuss
ing religion aud other kindred topics my
shoe polisher looked up and said:
“Boss, ain't you from Affens?”
I acknowledged that I was.
“I specs you must know my young mars
ter down dar. He’s got ter be a powerful
big man now, doy tells me.”
“Who is he?” 1 asked.
“Why, Mars Oran Oliver. I thought
everybody knows him. 1 was raised with
dat man and knows him like a ’possum. Of
course you’se heerd ob Mars Cran?”
I confessed to knowing the Captain inti
mately.
“Well, Boss, how is Mars Cran doin’? I
ain’t heerd from him in a long time.”
“Capt. Oliver is doing a little hotter since
he got out of the chain-gang,” I explained. *
“Do you mean to tell me. sah, dat Mars
Cran Oliver, ob Banks county, dat was
raised will me, dun bin in do chain-gang?”
“Yes, but he was only sent up for six
months,” I explained to tho astounded
darkey.
“Boss, what did they sent him dar for?”
“He got too intimate with a neighbor's
chickens,” l explained. “You see, Mr.
Hoi ipeiulyker, who lived next door to Capt.
Oliver, had some fat spring chickens that
kept disappearing. One night he set a steel
trap under the roost, and about 11 o’clock
heard some fellow yell. Mr. Hoopendyker
went out, and there securely held in a steel
trap was vour Mars Cran, with three chick
ens in each hand.”
“An’ ho let ’em catch him an’ they sont
him to tlie chain-gang!” exclaimed the
darkey, his eyes expanding as big as sau
cers.
“Yes,” I assented, and waited to see what
ho would next say.
After scratching his head and deliber
ately nodding two or three times to my in
terrogation he replied:
“Well, boss, I was raised widdat man,
an’ knowed him all my life; an’ let me jess
here say to you, I ain’t at nil subprised.”
The iioxt day I met Capt. Yancy at Lula
and told him the story in strict confidence.
On my return to Athens I was informed
that Capt. Oliver wu-s looking for me with
that old double-barreled cannon, and that
lie had already whipped three men who used
the word “subprised” in his hearing.
THE WRIGHT-CASTLE AFFAIR.
The Affianced Couple “Meet to Part no
More.”
From the Gainesville (.Fla.) Advocate.
The young lady, Miss Castle, who arrived
Monday evening to meet her, until then un
seen, affianced husband, remained at
Bayer’s Monday night. Yesterday morning
she appeared bright and happy after a good
night’s rest. The news of her arrival was
generally known and numerous were the
Hillers, female and otherwise, she had in the
morning. As it Was generally supposed that
Mr. Wright would arrive on the morning
train a largo crowd, such as has not been
seen since the day on which Rev. Culpep
per left our city last winter, as
sembled nt the depot to witness the ndvent
of John Wright. But it was John’s tirno to
L< tnrdv, and he failed to arnsair. Matters
dl l not long roninin in a doubtful condition.
John sent, n colored man lo town with a note
to Miss Castle telling her lv would put in
an appearance by Jiikl in tho afternoon.
came as quietfv as tlie falling due -of a
thirty day note. John came; ho curuo in
geod style and a buckboard. He called on
fns old friend G. W. Sparkman to “chan©
roue” him. They called on ludy.
They met and gazed. John elevated his
straw hat und said: “I’m pleased to se©
you ” Miss Lillian grasped his hand and
exclaimed: “I thought I would never get
hero, tiio distance was so long.”
The spectators, half a dozen m number,
then withdrew and tho soon-to-bo-man and
wife sat. down, we presume, and had a good,
sensible, straight business talk. This morn
ing they will embark in the blackboard, for
John’s home, which is twenty-six ir lies west
of Gainesville. They will probably bmnar
ried to-day at the homo of John's lather.
Mias Castle made many friends by hor
free anil honest, manner during lmr short
Ntuv in Gainesville. J.ffm Wright is a son
of our old friend U. A. Wright, one of tho
most solid and reliable men of Alachua
county John is a sulwhintiol young mail
with hosts of friends, all of whom wuu him

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. JULY 29, 1887.
HOW THE FLAG WAS LOST.
A Sumter County Confederate Has a
Story to Toll.
From the AmcricwiXGa.) Republican.
I was a regular soldier in the Con
federate army over four years, enjoyed its
triumphs, took my part of its defeats to
heart as much as anyone, starved, suffered,
bled, froze and melted in winter and sum
mer under the glorious cross of the South,
with a heart as full of devotion as a child
could have for a mother or a devotee to his
true and beneficent Ood.
When I first s sited out from tho loveliest
town in an adjoining State a lovely daugh
ter of the city gave me a Confederate (lag,
made of silk, with the bain and starry deco
rated cross shining and gleaming with gold
and silver threads. It was a pretty thing,
and I carried it hid in mi inside pocket, for
it was not larger than a gentleman’s hand
kerchief. I carried it wherever I went, for
1 had promised to plunt it on tho Washing
ton monument if I over got there.
While Lee's array was encamped near
Chambersburg, Pa., one Juno afternoon I
strolled out with Felix C., and about four
miles from eatnp found a cozy retreat in a
cottage inhabited by on elderly lady and a
beautiful girl of about te years. We got a
good dinner aud heard tho ladies deplore
the war, for they had relatives South with
whom they spent tho summer every year
until the war broke out. Now this pleasure
was debarred. While they were talking I
went to a cool shade and soon fell asleep,
and then Felix, forgetting my presence, left
me. A)>out two hours after I was awak
ened by the young girl and someone
talking, and found that a wounded
Federal officer was her companion.
They did not know of my presence,
and when they ran upon me I was
awake and pretty much alive: but as tho
officer remarked, “He was not in service on
account of a wound received at Cedar Run,
and we could exchange civilities.” We hud
a pretty good talk and milk aud bread where
we were. During the talk I exposed the
flag, which was snatched by the girl, who
exclaimed exultantly; “I have captured a
rebel flag and intend to keep it.” I begged
her for it, but she wilfully shook her head.
I told her it was a present from a dear
friend named Mattie, and that she should
not have it. Then she said: “Well, Rebel,
sir! my name is Mattie, a good union
girl. I havo my hands on tho emblem
of treason, a traitor’s flag; and I’ll
keep it or die!” and her eyes flashed with
fire. “I wish I wore a man,” she said, “that
I too might fight.” I tried to snatch the
flag, but she was too quick, and the officer
said pretty loudly: “Here, sergeant, bring
your men quick!” and it seemed as if I
were surrounded by four or five men in blue
uniforms before 1 could turn around. The
girl said, “Well, Lieutenant, you can keep
your prisoner in the cellar until you and
your men have tea,” and led the way.
Boon I was locked up alone in a cellar,
wherein there was no security, and tho girl
laughed as she waved the flag nt me. [
knew that I had to get out before supper
was over, and os I pondered over my posi
tion, a fear began to creep over me that I
was to suffer a long confinement in a Yan
kee prison. After an hour or two an inner
door opened and Miss Mattie, who had stolen
my flag, stood before me, candle in hand,
saying: “I guess, Mr. Rebel, that you and I
can come to terms. You have no arms, and
I can trust you. I’ll keep your flag, and for
my love of friends in tlie South you shall
go free. Cousin Robert and liis men are
eating.”
I wont through the house, found their
arms, and tailing off the caps, wet the tubes
thoroughly, stole a pistol that belonged to
the officer and star toil for the door while
the young lady was entertaining tlie soldiers.
I ran thirty or fortv steps before they dis
covered my absence, when, with a yell,
they broke for their arms. You can bet
there was no shooting, and I sped onward
as fast as possible. During my race toward
camp two Dutch guards halted me, but as
they were some distance off, I replied, “I
don’t understand,” and kept running. The
Dutchmen joinod tho pursuers, but a de
tachment of Lomax's cavalry approached
and they ran the other way. I have no de
sire for the return of that flag now, for it
has lieen South several times since the war
and will come again and again.
A CHAIN OF COUSINS.
Virginia Families Trace Their Kinship
Back to the Little Corporal.
Washington, July 2)1.—1n tho Washing
ton Herald tho “Lounger on the Avenuo”
says:
“The number of ‘cousins’ any Virginia,
South Carolina or Kentucky family ‘that
was ever anybody’ has and claims kin with,
lias always been a matter of groat astonish
ment in tho North, where this charming
‘cult’ is not cherished. Ami these cousins,
‘flown to the fortieth degree,’ are to bo found
everywhere. A charming Indy, whom the
writer lias the pleasure of knowing, said to
me the other flay: ‘You would scarcely be
lieve that Virginia and South Carolina fam
ilies could te related bv blood ties to so
many people as they really are in England
and France. Nowhere, holding up a late
Parisian journal, is the announcement of
tlie marriage of Princess Eugenie Murat,
the great granddaughter of Marshal Murat,
better known as tlie commander of tho cav
alry in the grunde’armec tliuu as King of
Naples, which he nevertheless was, to Prince
do Torella, at an Italian magnate. This
bride, Princess Murat, lias not less than 100
Virginia and South ( arolina cousins. Her
grandmother was Miss Fraser, of Charles
ton, whoso brother was the founder of tiro
great commercial house that during the war
was so famous as Fraser, Trenholm
& Cos. Both the sons of Marshal Murat
married Southern women. The eldest,
Achiile, came to America. His wife was
Miss Bottio Willis, of Virginia, whose moth
er was tlie distant cousin of the Dandridges,
the Harrisons, the Pages, the Careys and
munv others whoso names are historic. His
brother, the second son—Murat’s wife, you
know, was Caroline, sister of the great Na
poleon—marritxl Miss Fraser, as I just now
told you. Ho her gram 1 daughter, who,
thougn a Princess, looks like any well-bred
ami well-nurtured Virginia girl, is the great
Sruinl niece of tho first Nn|)leon. When
ohn Y. Mason, of Virginia, was our Minis
ter to Franco, the ladies of the
Murat household were his particular
friends. I know ho used to astonish
some of tlie old French gentlemen
about the court of tho second cuijiire by
gravely explaining tliflt these indies were
nis cousins. The Empress Eugenic heard of
it aud was much interested in the fact that
tile grand-ilaughters of She ex-King of Na
ples, Na|>oleon’s brother-in-law and greatest
cavalry commander, wore akin to a repre
sentative from tho great republic. I think
both the Carrington and Stone families of
this city were connected witl: the Willises
either by direct lino or collaterally, mid if I
am right, they, too, are akin to this young
scion of kingly ami imperial lineage on one
side, und goixl old Virginia blood on tlie
other. I thought this mi.-lit I n interesting
to you, anil so I mentioned it.’ ”
