One of the girls said the other

impression that Matties Vickers
who went away from home so
mysteriously some weeks ago,
was a daughter of Dan Vickers,
Tax Collector, but this is an er
ror. She was the daughter of
D. W. Vickers, and his only
daughter, w’hile Daniel Vickers
has several daughters, well
known and popualr girls, too.
Bro. H. M. Meeks writes from
Nicholls, that he “has been sick
for the past ten days with “grip”
and at that writing wa#*sti!l in
bed, with the expectation of be
ing there for more than a week.
He regrets that he was compell
ed to disappoint Jpis congregation
at Harmony Grove last Sunday.”
And I may add that they w'ere
disappointed also, for his faith
fulness in the past was an as
surance that his absence was
caused from some hinderance
over which he had no control.
Dan Bennett, of this county,
went down to Jacksonville on
Sat. of last week and bought
about two hundred pints of whis
key, took the train for home, and
just as he was leaving the train
at Kirkland with his load, the
Sheriff’s officer arrested and
brought him to jail. Our sheriff
and his men don’t make any mis
takes, but the man with his whis
key does when he comes in the
county. Five hundred pints
were destroyed two weeks ago,
poured into the sewerage and
drained off to Twenty and Seven
teen Mile creeks. Pouring so
whiskey into these creeks will
soon put the fis hand gators on a
big drunk, and these same whis
key fellows will be the cause of
r. t.l e trouble.
Jestice Bell, of Warwick.
It will be remembered that in
the Note Book, two or three
weeks ago, 1 published an item
telling of how Jestice Bell, of
Warwick, settled a possessory
warrant for a hog which two par
ties claimed. I sent a copy of
the Enterprise, which contained
the Note Book to his daughter,
Mrs. Wainright, and a few days
ago received this answer: War
wick, Ga„ Feb. 15.—Dear Uncle
Jim: Your letter and paper re
ceived, 1 read what you said
about my father, and from what
I have heal’d from him and
others, it is in the main true. My
father was Justice of the Peace
in the Warwick district for six
teen years and was in office when
he died, ten years ago. Papa
did not have the educational ad
vantages that he gave his child
ren. He had six children, and
gave them all a good common
school education, because, he said
he had seen the need of knowing
how to read and write. He
built Bethel -church on his own
land, for Missionary Baptist ser
vices. and when it was impossible
to get a preacher to come and
hold services he did so himself.
He worked and lived for the ser
vice of others, tried to help every
one that was worthy, and even
those that did wrong had his
sympathy, help and advice. He
was Justice of the Peace for the
benefit of others not himself, and
performed the marriage and fun
eral ceremonies for all the people
around us for years. In his mar
riage ceremonies he was very
solemn, and after he had joined
the parties together as man and
wife he always closed by saying
“Whom God and the law hath
joined together let no man cast
asunder, and may God have mer
cy on your souls,’’ and he meant
it. too. He was 83 wears of age
when he died, and was well and
active up to two years before his
death. A lightening rod agent
came through our section about
three years before his death, and
did a lot of work, putting up rods
and. selling wire fencing. He
made his headquarters at our
Viome, and was around there for
a month or more. This agent's
name was Little, and at nights
he would bring his fiddle to the
parlor, and my sister, Jane.
about 17, would play the organ
and together they madae fine
j music. We all liked it and
(thought Mr. Little was a nice
man. When he was through
with his v. ork he went away, and
what is more, sister Jane went
with him, under the promise trial
they would be married at Haw
kinsville. She wrote to us for a
while, and then the letters stop
ped and never came again. My
j father and brother hunted every
: where for her and Mr. Little, but
; could never find them, and they
could not find where they had
been married. We had to give
up all hopes of ever seeing oi
knowing what had become of my
poor sister. Two years after
jward, one dark, cold night, old
Mrs. Moore, a widow woman,
who lived about a mile from oui
home, came and knocked at the
door, and told us that some one
at her house wanted to see us.
As quick as we could we went,
and all along the way, Unde
Jim, I felt like something dread
ful was going to happen,* and 1
was right. Mrs. Moore led us
into a room where a woman was
lying on a bed, with her face to
The wall. Father walked up to
the bed, the woman turned her
face toward him, held up her
arms and cried “Father, I have
come home to you to die.” And
Uncle Jim, she had, for when
daylight came she was dead, and
pny poor sister never had a
I chance to tell us how she had
been treated. Father grieved
from that day until his death,
and I am raising my sister’s
I daughter, little Jane, with my
own children. Come and see it,
Uncle Jim, fot it is innocent, and
does not know that its mother
sinned and died. Yours, Rosa
Bell Wain right.
