A VISIT TO LIBERTY HALL'
From the Savannah Morning News.
Crawfordville, Ga.. Aug. 15.—
Every admirer of the late Alexander
Stephens is anxious to make a pilgri¬
mage to Liberty Hall. Amon
number of pilgrims recently was
writer. The first impression on
at Crawfordville is one of
ment. The town is an old one. The
idea appears to have prevailed from
first improvements that it .was
Nobody has had the courasre to doubt
opinion or change the status o. affai rs.
One new house and a few buildings
paired constitute the improvements
the last decade.
There are some very clever and intel¬
ligent people here. Some charming
young ladies passing on the streets re¬
lieve the dull monotony of the scene.
Business is dull, and numbers could be
seen around the pool tables and playing
draughts on the sidewalks. Iliereare
some good stores, with splendid stocks has
of goods. To-day, the citizens say,
been an exceptional dull day. This
fact, taken in connection with the un¬
painted buildings, and the dilapidation
apparent everywhere, was calculated to
impress the pilgrim unfavorably. There
was but one talisman that would arouse
the average citizens from his dreamy
indifference, and that was the name of
“Little Aleck.” They never tire of
discanting upon his virtues and proud¬
ly point to the plain, unpretentious of
building, almost hid by the grove
locusts, on the distant hill as the home
of the Great Commoner. To an un
sophisticated stranger the impression is
made that these people bank largely on
Mr. Stephens’ reputation. There are
some industries here which are worthy
____ is
of all commendation. There an ex¬
cellent gin factory, from whence soma
of the test machines in the State are
sent out Messrs. Andrews & Jones
get up an excellent paper, the Demo¬
crat.
THE WRITER BELIEVING A TRIP
to Liberty Hall would be best enjoyed
alone, wenaed his way thither unac¬
companied. There was more time to
look upon the scenes that had become
part of the life of one of Georgia’s great¬
est statesmen;more opportunity to med¬
itate upon those things which employ¬
ed one of the greatest minds of the day.
It is one of the remarkable characteris¬
tics of human nature that simplicity is
the charm of tha truly great. Osten
tati on belongs to the vulgar and the
would-be patriot. Here simplicity
reigns supreme. The house i* modeled
after the old Southern residence, with
its long piazza in front anil wide hall
through the centre. I was met very
cordially l>v Mrs. Corry, a niece of the
dead statesman,and conducted through
tte apartments open for public inspec¬
tion.
The parlor and Mr. Stephens’ ted
room i email is just as he left them when
he went to occupy the more luxurious
apartments in the Governor’s mansion.
Everything comfortable and substan
tial,liut there good were lady no threw tinsel ornaments. the li¬
When the open such
brary room. I was surprised that
an extensive collection had not been se¬
cured by some of our public libraries,
not only because of its associations.but
because of its real merit. It was pur¬
chased by Col. John A. Stephens, who,
no Route, would dispose of it to some
public institution on reasonable terms.
The Stephens Memorial Association,
through the efforts of Miss. Gay and
Mr. Myers, of Augusta, purchased the
buildings aud ground, and furniture in
the pa rlor and bedroom. They did not
feel able to purchase the entire proper¬
ty as it stood. It is a great misfortune
that they were not able to do so. Sit¬
ting on the broad piazza and looking
down over the lawu in fi ont of the house
I gave free reign to imagination.
Here the great man had ofttimes sat,
and gazed in wondering admiration
upon these same trees, and the sloping
lawn, until every object became to him
animated with life, and as familiar as
his own thoughts. Here he sat and
heard the songs of praise that went up
from the bumble Methodist chapel that
stands in the left corner of the yard,
which had been ereeted in accordance
with his wishes. I was aroused from
my reverie with the consciousness that
that which made this spot grand and
great was no longer here. The mortal
was held in a rock-bound tomb in the
cemetery in Atlanta, while that which
made the man great and grand had
entered into the pale realm beyond
where, unfettered by frail mortality, he
lives the real life awarded to the just.
Slowly the writer wended his way
through the long avanue of shade and
passed out into the outer world. The
little village of unpainted houses was
soon left behind,and only the Plane. memories
of the day remain. Jack

INDEBTED TO A
HOW EX-GOV. ST. JOHN FIRST
KNOWN TO FAME.
Kansas City Star.
“Apropos of the nomination of
P. St. John as the candidate of
Prohibition party, recalls to my
the circumstances of how he came to
Governor of Kansas,” remarked a
tleman to an evening star reporter
morning.
“How was that ?” asked the
“Well, if you would like to hear t
do not mind giving you the facts in

John owes his present notoriety to
Crow Chile3, a former desperate
acter of Independence, and who
killed by Marshal Peacock, at
dence. in September or October in 1874.
A few year prior to this occurrence
John was practicing law in that
under the firm name of St. John &
Dawson. One day Chiles shot a
n front of the old Hickman
and St. John was tiie only witness
there to, or at least the only one upon
whose evidence the prosecution could
rely. Chiles went to the saint and told
him if he did not leave the State he
would kill him, whereupon like a good,
utiful child, St. Jobu stood not upon
h e order of his going, but got up and
for Olathe, Kansas, where lie
formed a law partnership with Col.
Bar ker, and went to practicing. So
see if he had not been run out of
Independence by Jim Crow Chiles he
probably would have been a oue-horse
lawyer yet.”
“Chiles must have been a hard man
to frighten St. John away so easily,”
tlie reporter. hear of Jim

“How did he happen to be Killed ?”

was allowed to take itacourse, resulting
in the acquittal of the Peacocks.

Kidney Complaints.
For over six years I have been a terri¬

complaint, for the relief of which I have
spent over $250 without benefit; the most
noted so-called remedies proving failures.
The use of one single bottle of B B. B, has
been marvelous, giving more relief than
ail other remedies combined. It is a quick
cure, while others if they cure at all, are
in the distant futre.
