An aged gentleman of our county,
who numbers three soore and ten
years in ike past, and is now calmly
basking ill the genial rays of life's
declining snn, relates with remarka
ble accuracy the following history of
a five dollar gold pieoe.
We gsgtem^er from history, that

Jackson in 1834, the Indian Territo

by the (government with the Ohero

northern part of Georgia, in which
treaty was included a purchase of
their laiMs, in consideration of which
five million dollars were psid tnem,
and fre4transportation by the Gov
ernment to tho fertile home in the
West.
The Indians, relnotant to give np
their homes, the tombs of their braves
nnd the old familisr hunting gronndt,
clung lo them with an irresistahle
tenaoita. And not until the saga*
cioiif Jpheral L. Cobb was ordered
to lorek them if necessary, was their
removal finally effected. During the

then that the legend of Woffords lost
gold piece was revived, and many
were Hip timev, more through idle

Mr. Daniel, the jailer, was inform

being 1835, which was at least two
years previous to the time it was lost,
the circumstance of the losing, and

a thoughtless young lady guest sang
* I’m Tired now and Sleepy loo,
come put me in—.” But some one
begins.
“^Twbs in the year 1837,” toys the
old gentlemar, ‘.we were etMEosped
near the little town of Canto*, in
Oheroltve county, when in the dead
hoars of one dark night, an alarm
was raised near town not a great dis
tance from the encampment, and
people believing the ludians had re
voted, rushed in wild ooufusion to
the place from whence the alarm
had been sounded. Upon investiga
ting the cause of the exoitement, «
man—a quiet ferrymau—was found
sweltering in blood ; murdered in his
own house, with his family, around
his own fireside. Now jto find the
perpetrators ot this fiendish deed •
'Twus not Indiaus? No. The treach
erous knight of the tomahuwk lay
quietly sleeping in his wigwam, while
according to subsequent investigation
the pale fuce neighbor, with murder
reigning like a reeking demon in bis
bosom, quietly enters his bout, and
with the deadly weupon heavily charg
ed, he rows with muffled oars along
neutli the dark shadows of the jun-
ghs along the hunk of the river un
til the house of his victim is reached,
fastens his boat, stealthily creeps in
to his premises, shoots him, hurridly
withdraws and returns in the direc*
tion from whence he came. “Mur
der will out,” it is said, and so the
darkness of the night, and also of the
deed, fled like a shadow before the
penetrating light of juntice, and Joe
Wofford paid the extreme penalty of
the law, “a life for a life.”
Daring the time of Joe Wofford’s
imprisonment, before he whs executed
in April 1839, he remarked to Mr.
Daniel, the jailer, one day that he
had dropped a five dollar gold piece
through the floor of the jail, and a3
the floor was securely constructed
ol hewn logs ten or twelve inches
squure, spiked closely together, no
effort was then made to recover the
lost com. and so- very little was said
or thought about if, and time rolled
ooughed very loudly, and there wus
an agonizing silence about four yards I on, and people pursue! the even ten-
long. lor ol their way ; lived,dud, married
starving widtWantfOr^bnbl; •hover
ing around the smouldering embers
of their dwellinge. Only the people
of Georgia, who felt the effect* of
this long to be remembejed “march
to the sea,” know how to sympathize
with those arognd the bloody Held*
of Maryland and Virginia. Bat to
the subject.
It was during this trying period
that tne old gentleman was oalled
upon, by urgent necessity for the ao-
tual comfort of tin family, to part
with the little daughter’s live dollar
gold piece. This he of oourse, did
with a gieat reluctance, promising
to repay her at some future time,
with another of the same value and
date.
Lee surrendered. The war closed.
8oldiers returned to their desolated
homes, und with sad hearts and little
means of subsistence, began to re
pair their houses and farms. The
brooding* over the lost cause were
soon supplauted by domestic cares
and hardships. Not only in trying
to jeguin the lest property, but the
struggle in many instances was like
life and death for notua! existence.
Some sought the Eldorado of the
West, came to Texas where fertile
lands and provisions in plenty were
easily acquired, and now, to their
children who are being reared in the
lap of opulence, do they tell of the
hard long fought battles, the valor of
their leaders, the desolate homes and
the weeping and bereaved mothers
and widows. Others went to work,
plowed down the breastworks, re-
tenced their forms with suoh rails
and timber as were left about the old
camps, and though the uegroes were
I retd and every man had to depend
upon the strength of his own arm
lor a support, they have made con
siderable progress, and now many ol
them are rich.
Our Mifoimant moved oritl» his
family to Texas in 1876. The little
daughter had grown to be a woman,
aud a short time alter arrival iato
this State, wan married to a Texas
gentleman. About twalva mouths
ago the old gentleman in having some
financial dralinge with the hoobaud
or hi* daughter, found in hiapotsei-
•ion the long misaing live dollar gold
gieoe.
Since the introduction of this in
animate oharaoterter to onr diminu

inaugurated to occupy to the execu

been waged, buttles have been fought,

the ranks of honor, and from tbt
ranks of men. Yet the little golden
messenger haa silently wended ita

blesmi Aspect.
The following taken from the re
port of the Commissioner of Agri
culture of this State, places a
gloomy aspect upon our farmers
and their interests. Ho soya:
Corn soils at the average price
of 89 cents per bnshel cash, and
$1.12 “on time.” This ia simply
a ruinous policy—-no legitimate
business can pay such rotes of in
terest and prosper. Farmers can
not afford to buy corn at 89 cants
cash per bushel, and yet they are
paying “on time” 54 per cent, per
annum on the cash price. Offer to
lend a man money at 54 per
cent, per annum, or 41*2 per
ceut. per month, and he would feel
that his intelligence was insulted,
and yet he buys corn, ugrees to pay
64 per cent, per annum on the cash
price, and mortgages his property
to secure the payment of principal
and interest.
Similar rates are paid on bacon
and hay which could and should he
produced on the farm.
The cities were formerly fed by
the country, now tho country is fed
from the cities. This is an unna
tural, abnormal condition of things
that must be reversed or bring dis
aster upon both country ami citios.
