How a Connecticut Yankee Bought
Ozone in Thomasville.
A newspaper correspondent in
Washington, from Texas, thus treats
of the typical Georgian:
It has been said that the Georgi
an is the Southern yanker. He is a
man full of resources and that quality
which the shmgv tendency of the
times calls‘gall.’ I have the utmost,
respect for them, because of their
irrepressiliility, their confidence in
themselves ami their pride in their
State. They are rustlers from away
back, and I'liavc never met one, and
vet I have met a great many, who
either did not have a speech to deliver
or a scheme to carry out. Time nor
conditions wither him. He is confi
dent and perfectly at home in leading
in prayer, in running a convention or
in making a real estate deal. A res
idence of two weeks in a precinct in
Africa would warrant him in cither
tunning for king or in fixing the
wires so he would be chief counsellor.
Set down in the heart of Asia, he
would he on top of the flesh pot with
a ladle, and a large one at that, in
his hand, an hour after his arrival.
“Wherever lie may he he is a Geor
gian. Absence from the State makes
him none the less a Georgian. I
have met them in Texas who had
left their State when they were chil-
dcn, and they could repeat the
speeches delivered by Ben Hill, Bob
Toombs, Alex Stephens and other
Georgia celebrities, and do it in splen
did and affecting style, hut still keep
ing the Georgia business eye wide
open by turning a jack from the bot
tom ever and anon. I have in my life,
though I never sported to any great
extent, lost lots of good valuable dol
lars by my eyes becoming moistened
by affecting quotations by Georgians
from the speeches of the great men of
that State.
“I distinctly remember of haying
run up on a full baud in a Georgian’s
fingers 011 one occasion just after he
had recited to me a part of Bob
Toombs’ speech on the proposition of
the Georgia Legislature to rally aud
hoist the American flag just after the
war closed. I did not hear it de
livered, but it cost me enough to buy
several Georgia meals to have it re
peated to me.
“But the object of this communica-
tiou is to show how nicely they work
the yankee even in these times. The
latter had hardly whipped him in the
last war before lie proposed a part
nership in business. He didn’t have
auy money or any merchandise, and
in fact nothing as a basis for a part
nership or to speculate on except some
land, which he called a garden spot
or mine, according to the character
of the yankee with whom lie was talk
ing. The result was that while the
other Southern States were staggering
from the blows delivered them by the
Northern enemy. Georgia had applied
a piece of raw beef to her eye and was
up and around rustling among the
enemy for his ducats just as if nothing
had ever happened.
“It was the first to. recover. It
settled carpet-bag rule in a jiflv. It
rolled up a Democratic majority of a
size tnat impressed the country with
the idea that it had never lost a voter.
It weut right out, si to speak, to take
charge of the Union, and the steps
taken by its energetic people at the
end of the war have never halted.
They are working ns persistently for
tlicir advancement and the develop
ment of their State as ever. They
have iron for sale. If a man doesn t
want iron they will sell him the finest
stone on earth, the finest farms on
earth, the finest water poweron earth,
and if they can’t strike a trade with
him in these lines they will propose
to sell him the finest ozone on earth.
O, yes, wc have the finest ozone on
earth. It is found in its purest cle
ment and essence right here in South
Georgia. The article in and around
Thoraasville is unadulterated, aud we
give the privilige of breathing it, with
every peice of land bought by North
ern parties. It is just thrown in, as
it were. Aud this reminds us, as Mr.
Lincoln used to say, of a story.
Last winter one of our live real
estate dealers was trying to sell a
piece of land to a shrewd Connecticut
yankee.
“I kinder calculate” said the gentle
man from the laud of wooden nutmegs,
“that the price is pretty high;” after
the real estate man had fixed the
figures.
“() no,” said the dealer in dirt,
“the property is wortli every dollar
asked. Why, just look at those pear
trees. Do you know sir, that there is
a fortune in LeContc pears”?
The Connecticut man didn’t seem
to catch on to the pear rack et, iuti-
mating that he simply wanted a win
ter home, not a pear orchard. Taking
the cue the versatile agent said:
“You are right. Why should you
bother yourself about fruit, or any
products of the soil. 5 011 are able
live without these. Now I have
another place, “pointing ton clump of
pines crowning a lovely elevation a
fow hundred yards away,” which will
just suit you exactly. Look there I
high and dry ; the air laden with the
aroma of the pines hearing healing
on its wings; the warm southern sun
shine plays among the swaying
houghs, bringing back the flush of
health to wasted cheeks, sending the
life blood, renewed and purified,
through every vein, while the eye
kindles with new life and hope.
There arc several parties anxious to
buy the property, but I would prefer
selling it to you, ns I am sure you will
improve it handsomely. I will sell
you that place for 8
The eloqueuce aud earnestness of
the would be seller, had some visible
effect, but, true to his teachings, train
ing and state, the gentleman from
Connecticut was not the man to close
a bargain without an effort to lower
the price.
I will give you 8 for the
place,” said he.
Can’t take it,” said the imper
turbable agent.
“We I don’t think the land is worth
any more” said the Connecticut man,
“You forget,” and the agent em
phasized his remarks by a majestic
and graceful swoop and sweep of his
right arm, in which a good portion of
the earth and air were embraced,
“that no charge is made for the
ozone.”
And the man from Connecticut
now owns the property, reaching, as
it does, down to China; and up—well
lie has oodles of ozone. And we ex
pect to make a good democrat out of
him in a year or two.
Lee's Monument.
Richmond, Va., May 9.—The in
dicatious are that the attendance of

Lexington, Ky., May 8.—Ex-

lature now in session. It is believed
