After passing the hi«n # M of S*il»s &

wood. Arriving at Green wood, we were
greeted by the pi iace of good fell

town. The town of Green woo.; is not as

After shaking hands with many of our
triends and laKing in several subscrip
tions we rapaired to the bardecue pit
and found thirty or forty fat mutton and l
pigs sputtering over a hot tire. Messrs
John Marshall, Bill Dicker, ami Jim
Burch had charge ot the cooking and
three better men wuh their army of as
sistants could not be found Look at
thi< pig said .Inn Burch, he is roasted to
a turn and then gaze down the line at the

ft home too soon for breakfast
and as Jim Burch and John Marshall ex
patiated on how to mnke a mutton or
pig taste good, we longed for the dinner
hour to come.
To the right of the pit were several
large pots, filled with chickens liver and
small bits cut frou. the carcasses, aud n
number of assistants cutting up huge
baskets full of a * aud corn for hash.
This is considered one of the dainty
dishes at a baThecm*. and right well does
the Oconeeite snow how to prepare it.

a table,one hundred yards long. When

dinner was reai^, and everybody reg

in coupanN* with our genial friend, Dave
Gann, got to a p!:icj at the table where
the good thing* were piled up in pro

barbecue ever cooked in Georgia. It
was seasoned right; it was cooked well,

Bob Ingersoll writes to a friend on
sending him a llask of oi l rye:—
1 send you some of the most wonder
ful whisky ihat ever drove the skeleton
from a feast or painted landscapes in the
brain of man. It is the mingled souls of
wheat and corn. In it you will find the
sunshine aud shadow that chase each
other over the billowy fields, the breath
of June, the carol of the la»k, the dews
of the night, the wealth of summer and
autumn’s rich content—all golden with
imprisoned light. Drink it, and you will
hear the voice of men ami maidens sing
ing the “Harvest Home,” mingled with
the laughter of children. Drink it, nirl
you will ft-el within your blood the star
lit dawns, the dreamy, lawny dusks of
many perfect days. For forty years
this liquid joy has been within the hap
py staves of oak, longing to touch the
lips of man.
Late Wednesday evening’a leporter of
the Bans*hi:-Watchman spied a crowd
standing on the steps of Barrow &
Thomas’ office, and noticing a broad
happy smile encircling the faces of 'font
Hampton and Capt. Bradcen, w*» inquir
ed what caused sogfciuch happiness.
Col. Madieu being ir^e party, said : “I
have just lifted the last old debt hanging
over the Covington and Macon road, and
it has certainly lifted a load from my
shoulders.” These debts were contract
ed by Post A* Ingersoll, and were due by
them to the contractors. When 1 took
charge of the road these gentlemen owed
$&lU,Ot>0. I entered into no written obliga
tion with the contractors to pay the debt,
only gave them my word that the last
dollar «»f it would be paid with interest
and only a few minutes ago 1 gave them
•fid,000 for the balance of their debt.
The reporter remarked that this was
the biggest debt he ever heard of being
paid with only one man’s word for it
that it would be paid.
‘•Yes,” said the Colonel as his eyes
sparkled with pleasure, “I have kept niv
word to these men altho igli it has cost I
me many a sleepless night”
“Did any of the contractors fall out
with you on account of not paying them
sooner?”
“If they did I have never heard of it,
and the best evidence I have of their
kind feeling aud friendship is that the
last one of the contractors that worked
for Post A* Ingersoll have been with me
to the finish and we have got to be a
kind of bappv family.”
“Haven’t you got more work for us
when this *'S finished?” asked Tom
Hampton, “we want to stay with you.’’
Said Col. Muchen, “I can’t say
just now but will keep a lookout, and be
fore long there might be some other sec
tion to develop.”
Col. Machcn certainly* deserves more
credit than it is possible to give for his
promptness in settling up these old debts
Think of one man undertaking to pay
$•>•‘>0,000 of a debt not contracted by him j
and with no obligation, only the word of
an honest man. It was certainly a stu
pendous undertaking. The paying off of
these old debts has relieved a great many
many parties who have been depending
on it for s.veral months. Col. Machen
will remain in our city for a few days.
He is *i plain affable gentleman and easy
of approach. He is strictly business and
makes every man feel easy who meets
him.
