A STRANGER’S OPINION.
What One of the Wisconsin Editors Thinks
of Thomasville.
The following article on Thomas-
ville we take from the Betliu, Wia,
■Journal, edited by Mr. C. G. Starks,
wbo was here with the WiiCOusih
editors a few week* ag-i:
“ th!im.isviilc, Ga., the last place
vidted by the press party, is locattd
in the high lauds oi the state only 35
miles from, the gulf. ”A settlement
existed here mauv years ago but its
importance as. a health resort dates
back only eight or ten years since
capital has come in and built hotels.
Aside from the winter resiirt business
it is a lumbering region. Cue Georgia
pine being all. aronod the e»ty and
country adjacent: Pear culture has
been introduced very successlully and
tobacco culture is bidding fair to be
a very important industry. Thomas
couuty tobacco is used for both wrap
per and filler and is makiog a very
favorable reputation and the soveral
factories there are thriving.
' *'Although in a pine region most of
lhe busine63 blocks are oi brick. The
soil here is not sandy but.hard and
the roads and streets are fine. Fruits
and flowers thrive well here and out
party were loaded down with beauti
ful rosea during ou? stay of an entire
day. rhumasvilte entertained'the
press party more like a northern city
than any place we visited. Breakfast,
dinner aud, a banquet supper were
tendered gratis and all the carriages
ia the place * were at the disposal of
the party for rides about the city and
country. The day was thoroughly
enjoyed by all.
. ‘’The high elevation, taild yet brae-
it g air and the presence of pine woods
all go to make ThomasVillo a. dcsir
able winter resort tor the invalid or
other person' who wishes to escape the
rigors of a northern winter. In front
of the big Piney Woods Hotel is »
big park or pine woods, which the
northern gueais have christened
'‘Yankee a Paradite ” It is ihcir out
door breathing place during the win
ter and a grand place it is. \

A Letter From Liberia,
e arc indebted to Mr, Charle
larley
Griffin for a copy ot a let’cr recently
received from a colored man who
went to Liberia some years ago from
Lowndes county. Tr.e man formerly
belonged to Mr. B. F. Ln.e, ot Lowu-
dei, county. Mr. Griffin knows Brace-
well well, having been partly raised
with him. As will be seen, he praises
the country where he l.ves. Many
co ored men have gone to that coun
try and returned with a different, story.
As a matter of interest to the colored
race, as well aa thc whites, we print
the letter. Here it is;
Arthinyto, Sia., Aug. 29, ’91.
Dear Richard McKinney:—I am
more than ten thousand times
thankful to you for your writing, I
am aorry to hear or see you write me
mat our colored people are yet rent
ing land to farm on. Why .'.an t they
find some where on earth . that they
may buy and own land of ihcif own?
Von ask me some questions about
this country; that is tf 1 would advise
you to come to this country and what
for a living can a mm make in Libe
ria, and what all can'ne raise in this
country. Well the answer is just this:
He can. raise anything in this country
that he can'in any part of the wor.d.
It hurts me to know cf so haany of our
people being dead, but we all are
bouud to die and must die. I would
advise you to come to this'couotry if I
thought that you wanted to be a free
man and respected, but I am afraid
that yon can’t stand to come off and
leave Moss Solomon and Miss Betsey.
My brothcr>inslaw, Andrew Tusket,
after bearing me read your letter to
him a^ed me to write yju and tell
you to come out to this country, but I
shall not do it. If I saw any chance
do so; I would send you and my
aunts some coffee and tineycd. It
oever freezes m this part of the world,
and is always warm. Write me some
thing about Oak Grove church, and
iclime where is Old Uncle Sabe
Moore and his sons. Tell all howdy
for me. People don’t have to work
oard to live i 1 this country Uke they
•jo to live in other parts of the world.
\Ve don’t use corn much. We me
r<ce more than anything else, not that
re can’t raise or don’t raise corn.
P op<e don’t care for it. A fur it gets
h -rd we ^use casdarders instead of
to, not that a man can’t or don’t
• * -e corn here, but after it gets haid
!i oao’t sell *t for ten cents per bush*
1 One can’t sell it at all, but rice is
1... iu i ro to four dollars per bushel.
In s 1, a great country. Men and
* tnen of ihe n4ti(ja live here in this
1* uuiry to be a bun red years o:dand
or cr know how to pu on or wear a
*.r rt I warn you to go to B. F,
Jones or Henry Jones’ placj and find
out our ages. Alt oi Rnody's children
and wri e it to m?.
I will write and tell you much
ab »ut this country after now. Tell
Madison, Preston ami Denis Johnson
aii the howdy for me. Teil them thit‘
I am married and the father ot tin
children. All of you are well ac
quainted with my wile, for she was
a good size girl whea we left there.
Mary Turket was her name. When
you write me write plenty. I have
read your letter until I have got it
by hart and 1 want it to be ten or a
hundred times more than what it is.
We raise hogs, sheep, goats, turkeys,
ducks, chickens, 00ws and all kincs
of things here that you can find in
the world. McKinney the reason
why I don’t write you to come to
Liberia is just this: I see some
negroes come here and then go back;
then again others come and set 10
work and gats rich and wealthy. I.
aud T. Jefferson Bracewel! and the
old man Seascr, white, lives chse
together. We are close neighbon.
I don’t know if it ia there like it is
here, so mucb drunkenness and drink*
ing of liquor, rum and gin. I mmt
say that we are too free in this conn-
try. I have tried to make up in my
mind to take time to come over there
but 1 don’t see that I can spare the
time. I will close this letter tor this
time, trusting these few lines may
fiud you and all of tho friends and
family all well, as this leaves os rli
wall and doing well at the time pres
eut. I shall expect you to write me
again soon.. Your dear friend,
8 Bracxwell.

bs tried before the Supreme Judge of
qll. * -A paper, dusty and faded from
many year3 association with some
pigeon hole, turned np in the county
court yesterday. It was a true bill
found by the grand jury at the June
term of superior court, 1869, against
Zachariah Carroll. Th© charge was
assault aad battery.' Lacy Adams
is put'-down as prosecutor. His
daughter Lucy was the victim of
Zachariah’swrath.
The' bill is signed by eighteen
jurors, six of whom, including the
foreman, Mr. M. C. Smith, have since
been relieved from_jury duty by
death’s summons. ^ '
The solicitor of a quarter of a cen
tury ago was W. B. Bennett, now
judge ot the Brooks county court.
The indictment has never been dis
posed of and unlike similar old cases,
there is no entry ot death, out of the
state, etc., and so recently this musty
old paper was recovered from its rest*
ing place and handed down to Judge
Alexander’s court for disposal.^ Zich-
ariah mav yet, if he, too, is not' num
bered among the silent majority, be
tried on the charge of long ago.'
