Whether, or not, the bad spelling “humorist” is prepared to go, the country is anxious to bid him fare well. Almost any citizen would pay a small sum for the privilege of wri ting his obituary. 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 duringlifondministration of Andrew Jackson in 1834, the Indian Territo ry era* organised, and a treaty made by the (government with the Ohero kee |Ind)ans then occupying the 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 time <& the removal of these Indians it waO neoesaary for the mutual pro tectiofi of the Indians and the citi* ther with an immense tide igration then pouring into ly ucquired territory, that a placed around the Indiana- this purpose volunteers lad for throughout the oouu* and were given in marriage, and nothing h»th our Informant had led hie blushing bride to the altar, and now rt-joiced aa lord of n small but interesting household, when in 1855 or "50 the old jetl was torn down and removed from the grounds. It wai then that the legend of Woffords lost gold piece was revived, and many were Hip timev, more through idle curiosity than pecuniary gain, were the ohipa and trash kicked over and the surface sooured from Bide to side for the lost treasure, bnt all in vair. A year later when people had oeased to kick the dast about npon passing the old jail ground, and hud com6 to regard the legend us a fabulous tale, When it had buen sleeping iu the “consecrated” dnst for more than twenty-two years, it wus iound by litt|e three year old daughter ot our informant, while at play. She, like a dutiful child, plaoed it in her fa ther’s charge for safe Keeping. Mr. Daniel, the jailer, was inform ed of the discovery, and the ooin be ing thoroughly inspected, the date being 1835, which was at least two years previous to the time it was lost, the circumstance of the losing, and the place upon which it was found all considered, the ooin was unaui mously conceded to be the veritable long loet property of the deceased Joe Wofford. The coin was kept for several years. In the mean time our inform ant hsd moved from Gantou.

It would never no to elect women to all offices. II jn female sheriff should visit the residence of a hand some man and explain to his jealous wife that she had ao attachment for him, there would be a vacancy in that office in about two minutes. A Kansu? girl named Sleepy mar ried u-cently an actor by the name of Tired. When the ceremony was over 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 tive hietorv 14 Presidents have been inaugurated to occupy to the execu tive seat of our republic. Warn have been waged, buttles have been fought, victories gained, men knee become great for their t alor and their states* manship. Others have fallen from the ranks of honor, and from tbt ranks of men. Yet the little golden messenger haa silently wended ita way through the different walks and •vocations of men.

Or may be, or tailing by mere accident into the hands of some jaryman npon whose decision or verdict hung the brittle thread of life or destiny.

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. 'l-W u. -tU) ! / <cu. ■1 € '#**-Y*
