It turns up that Joe Harris, of the
Atlanta Constitution, is to make a fortune
of his book of negro chat—“ Uncle Remus.”
Mr. Cornelius Willingham, well

According! to the late census, there
will be a gain of ten congressmen in the
south and west and a loss of ten in the
north and east.
An unprecedented cold snap has been
experienced in the Southwest, crippling
the gathering of cotton, and which accounts
for the recent “rise” in cotton.
The indications now are that Atlanta
will not be able to get a sufficient amount
of coal this winter to keep tier citizens
from suffering with cold, to say nothing of
her factories, rolling mills, Ac., suspend
ing.
The Atlanta Constitution is strongly
urging the citizens of Atlanta to build the
Georgia Western Railroad. From the
report the Constitution gives, they must
either build it or freeze for the want of
coal.
The peanut crop in this country for the
last year was valued at £2.1.'>0,000. The
Nortnern people arc large consumers of
peanuts, ami they arc indebted to the
South—mainly Tennessee. Virginia and
North Carolina—for the familiar luxury.
A Fast mail train is to be had which
will make the distance from Atlanta to
New York in 215 hours. A person can cat
dinner in Atlanta one day, and the next
day dine in New York. If the Elberton
Air-Line makes connection, it will benefit
this section materially.
There is some talk that field hands will
contend for higher wages next year. With
cotton at 1)1, (and it takes about 7$ to make
it.) we don’t see how the farmers could
stand an advance. The laborer is worthy
of his hire, but there are two parties inter
ested. Farmers should be firm as well as
just in this matter. — Atlanta Phonograph.
Notwithstanding the new Constitu
tion says the sessions of the Legislature
•hall be biennial, several of the members
of the present session are in favor of ad
journing at once and having an extra
session. Since the above was written, the
Legislature has passed a resolution to ad
journ on the 4th instant to first Wednes
day in July, 1881.
Hon-. Alex. 11. Stephens some time
since stated that the people of Georgia
were getting poorer and poorer every year,
and in an interview in the Washington
(1). C.) Republican a few days ago, he
reasserts his statement; though he shows
the taxable property amounts to more this
year than Inst, but not so much as it did
in 1870. We fear Mr. Stephens is correct
in his statemonts.
Cotton, as we all must acknowledge, is
a splendid crop, and must ever remain the
chief staple of the entire South. But
there are minor crops as yet sadly neglected
there which can bo made so many other
mines of wealth to the people of that
section. None of these will be found to
afford surer or richer profits than the cul
ture of coffee, or with as little labor.—

“I assure you, gentlemen,” said the
convict upon entering the prison, “that
the place has sought me and not I the
place. My own affairs really demanded
all ruy time and attention, and I may truly
say that ray selection to till this position
was an entire surprise. Had I consulted
my own interest 1 should have peremptor
ily declined to serve, but ns I am in the
hands of my friends I see no other course
but to submit.” And he submitted.— Ex.
A negro family in Galveston are ever
lastingly quarreling and disturbing the

met the wife and said to her. “You are
always kicking up a row. Why is there
no harmony in your house?” “Dat’s jess
what I was tel 1 in’ de lazy, wullless niggah.
Dar ain't no hominy in de house, nor no
meat an’ dc bacon's all eat up, and de

Dr. Felton came out in a card last
week iu the Cartersvfile Free Press, thank
ing his friends in the Seventh District for
their support in his race for Congress, and
further says : “I trust every independent
in this district, will unite witli me in
resolving that hereafter mere party names,
party edicts and party shibboleths shall
not influence our political action or associ
ation, but we will give our undivided eflorls
to sustain in office good and faithful men—
true and tried —whatever may' he their
party affiliations or sectional connections.”
Does this sound like the Doctor thought
as much of the Democratic party as many
of his friends claim for him?
The bill before the Legislature to change
the Constitution so that the Governor
shall have the power to appoint the judi
cial officers of the State, seems to meet
the geucral approbation of the press. So
far os we can see, we are satisfied with
the law as it now stands. We can see no
harm in the yonng men of Georgia who
want the place of Solicitor going up to the
Legislators, meeting them face to race, be
coming personally acquainted, and present
ing their claims for position. Some of our
exchanges cry, “fraud.” “combination,”
Ac., but fail to show any fraud or point out
any combination during the recent elec
tions by the members of the General As
sembly. These elections were conducted
os fairly as any ever had in the State, and
resulted in the election of good and true
men. Better men would not have been
selected had the power of appointing been
vested in the Governor. Lot not the Leg
islature mistake the howl of disappointed
office-seekers for the voice of the people.
•• OLD B.“ ON JOE B.
We heard “Old B.” spin the following
yarn about Hon. Joseph K. Brown :
“ In the vesr 18.12 1 was selling goods at
a place called Fair Play in South Carolina.
There was an old bachelor there named
Dennis T ——, who was a horse racer
and gambler, and an incessant pipe smoker.
The old fellow had a tight at Larkin
Brown's grocery, and had a tlirce-corncrcd
piece bitten out of hia under lip. Larkin
picked it up after the tight and stuck it in
a crack, and a few days afterward upon
examination the beard on it had grown
out about an inch long. The notch left in
T— ——'a under lip ptoved a positive con
venience, as it was just the right shape for
his pipe stem. I had gone to Charleston
to buy goods, and left niv wife and Jesse
St rib Img a boy of twelve yeare—to at
tend to the store. Jesse—by wsy of pa
renthesis—made a splendid soldier in the
Lost Cause, and has keen Clerk of the Su
perior Court for years in Oconee county.
S. 0., and a leading man in that county
ever since the war—in fact all my boys
that I taught a few lessons in selling goods
and telling the truth have succeeded in
life, and—”
“ But what about Joe Brown ?” we in
terrupted to shorten the parenthesis.
“ Oh ! yes ; well, old Dennis ran away
while I was gone to Charleston. I found
out he had gone to the neighborhood of
Canton, Ga., where a young lawyer by
the name of Joe Brown was practising
law. I sent Joe the fifty dollar note 1 had
on Dennis. The old fellow was a slick old
coon, and settled where three counties cor
nered. But Joe Brown surrounded him.
lie fixed up papers to catch him in all three
counties; and in less than three weeks
Joe Drown sent me by mail the prettiest
fifty dollar bill 1 ever saw before or since.
I related this occurrence in Augusta, Ga..
once, when a merchant said to me: 1 I’ll
give von my experience with that young
fellow Drown. A country merchant owed
me a good large debt, and it was reported
that he was broke. I went to hunt him up
as a lame duck—not expecting to get any
thing out of him. When I got to the town
where Drown was practising law, I en
quired of the hotel-keepcr for an attorney,
lie referred me to Brown, and said he was
honest, industrious and prompt, and if any
one could get my money lie could. I went
to Brown’s office late in the evening, and
gave him my case. Brown told me the
man lived 12 miles from town, but that he
would go to see him that night, and told
me to call at his office next morning at ten
o’clock for the money. I called promptly
and got every cent of the money.’ ”
“ Now,” continued Old 8., “ here’s the
MORAL.
“ A man who is prompt, attends strictly
to his business and is honest is bound to
succeed. Of course Clod Almighty didn't
give the sense to one in a million that he
gave Joe ; but the reason 90 out of a pos
sible hundred jackleg lawyers don't suc
ceed is because they arc not prompt and
do not look to their clients’ interest—so
the) - get cost and fees they are hanpy.
There is no State in the Union where hon
est. prompt lawyers have a better chance
to rise than in this same old State of
Georgia. Promptitude, honesty and judg
ment has made Joe Brown the great man
he is ; and so long as there is a red hill or
a fertile vnllev in this grand old State, the
name of Joe Brown will be a household
word.”
We left the old man glaring at • home
stead notice some debtor had handed him.

OBITUAH Y.
MRS. D. A. TEASLEY was bom November 10th,
It#l7, an diet! November 25tb, 18.S0. Sister Teasloy
has been known by the writer only fora few years,
and can write knowingly concerning the religious
character of our departed friend only for a very
abort period of her life. She was a member of the
M. E. Church South for thirty-seven years. Her
membership was at Betlieada Church, Hartwell Cir
cuit, during this time. She professed conversion, we
think, when she assumed the responsibility of Join
ing the Church. While she was not exempt front
lin|terfertii>ns, she lived a consistent Christian life.
One of the prominent features of sister Teasley'a
character was, she loved Iter Church and always de
fended it when assailed, and with all the means in
her power he supported the Church liberally. It
was especiullv during her last illness that site gave
unmistakable testimony of her preparation for death.
Site was confined to her room several weeks, nay,
months, before her denth, and during her sickness I
visited her several times, nnd invariably found her
sneaking of the gtsslness of God, or shouting aloud
itis praises. It was soul inspiring to sit by her dy
ing Itedside and hear her talk of Heaven ami the joy
awaiting her beyond the grave. Surely she could
bear testimony to the truth of the lines—
“ Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are."
Sister Teaaley was a great sufferer, especially dur'
ing the last few months ot Iter life. She bore her
affliction* with great Christian fortitude, recogniz
ing them as witting from the Father of all mercies.
Sister Teaaley will Is' missed at home, at the Church
anti in the community. Our loss is no doubt her
eternal gain. May the Lord administer comfort to
(he bereaved husband hiiil children, and enable them
so to live as to meet her in Heaven, where parting
will be uo more. W. A. Fakish.
