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, TIIK JEWET.S OF THE CITY are her admirable foundations of learning.

Hero the Sab bath intorjKises a 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.

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.’ ” 3cods That Germinate Quickly.
