SOME NOTED SCENES.
X . r AWFORDVILLE—SOME ARP TELLS OF HIS REMINIS¬ VISIT TO
CENCES.
Atlanta Constitution.
■crawfordville is a good old town of
ni-mon s historic memories. The
1S > 1 exnect, the oldest in
e, being near sixty years old.
>oly presided there in 182S, a
,at ability and wit and spr
, atural force. .Stones,
s and traditions concerning him
■::ger among tiie old men; but
I men of that day are now few
a ir between, and Judge Dooly’s
v .J tten history will soon be gone,
i’b.'ut thirty-five years ago, when I
vat ,i modest young man, I was pres¬
ent in the judge’s room at Gainesville
on s night and listen to the racy, enter
Joseph Henry Lumpkin
and Eugeni us Nisbet and Howell Cobb
and old Judge Underwood and Hope
Hull and Junius Hiliyer and Basil II.
Ovei by and some others, and my youtli
fff^mind was profoundly impressed
wibii their wit and wisdom and socia
txvity. They talked of Dooly for an
iiout- ’rr so, and I have often wished
that I had taken notes. Of all who
were present that night but one is left
one only of the grand old bar of that
circuit. The venerable Judge Junius
Hiliyer still survives. Like all aged
men, be is now living more in the past
than in the present, and must feel
“Like one who treads alone,
Some banquet hall deserted.”
But I do not know of an old man
who has'more reason to be content
itoftfUiis lot. Tlie past and the present
are certainly most grateful to him.
If.M professional career was able and
hoi tVablo and serene. Ilis more ma¬
te. • years saw children clustering
a und lnm—good children who give
1 1 no trouble or anxiety, and now
ho he totters,feebly down tin vale
are not fat away. Their level enee and
filial love comfort him and more than
make , up , for the loss of the friends of
' s
Ins youth. ... Us life has been
a success
all respects, and only one father
among ” a thousand can say J it.
.That rl>l old ,, courthouse 4l at 4 „ Crawford- P ,
,
'Mile, V, had lti judicial bench , away up
high very high, unt.l last year when it
was lowered. They were all luge m
the olden times and the pulpits m the
churches , . were high. , . , But both judges
and , priests , . have , come down , nearer . to
the .. people . and . there seats , , have
now so
. been , lowered . too. . There „„ .
was a pnso
ner’s dock in this old courthouse, hut
that has been recently removed. W.l
ham H. .. Crawford presided here for ..
many years, tlie ablest statesman ^ and ,
jurist that Georgia ever produced. .
History tT . . says that . if .. , he had ... not i been
strickeu . . , with ... paralysis , . , he would ,, , have
"
succeeded , , Monroe ,, in the presidency. •,
He XT was the intimate . friend „ . , of Madison ..
and Gallatin and Clay and Randolph
and Madams do . btael , and . ....... Will,..gton ,
and LaFavette, and had the confidence
and and esteem esteem of of all all the the first first men men of of the the
nation. He died m 1831, and was sue
ceeded by Garnett Andrews.
1 T saw a curious . record . here , upon the
. , of „ old ... . of the
an justice peace.
was the .. record . of - 900 cases brought
Hobert Toombs to one term of the
f mvt in 1841. The plaintiffs were
IV rn. Peek and R. fj. Dickerson and
.
,„'ie defendent was Thomas Chaffin. 11
\F M the sat " e Win J>Wik who <liod at
' "dartown last year. He had a debt
£“.3,000 on Chaffin, ’ and Aleck St6
'hens had , , sued , Chaffin ,,, for a , large sum
n the superior court. So Peek ern
)loywl Toombs anJ Too(nbs i;id uce l
Chaffin to give to Peek OdO notes of
dollars each so that ho might
sue in the justice . court and o :et the
first judgments. It -was a fight unto
tlie death, for both claims con'd not lie
paid. There was* then no supreme
eouiianame t d , h nuestion" l 1 1 > - in ,'olved had
to go before a convention of judges
and it is said that little Aleck whipped
the fight and got his clients money.
With some kind friends I visited
Liberty }Iall for the first time. Many
a time have I viewed the’ memorable
home of Mr. Stephens from the ear
window as we passed, but now I have
ticen m it and seen the pictures upon
the walls and the old time furniture
and the little round table upon which
for bimost a half a century he , wrote ,
fiis learned and brilliant and philosoph
ictl.oughts. He was a manof thought
and study and reli ction more than a
ot extraordinary brains. He made
the best use of bis faculties. He had
nothing h to ifinder him—no wife, no
children, no care. He fell in love with ...
thought and history, and ho pondered
well and treasured what lie pondered,
lie was the very counterpai t of Toombs,
whose native grasp of intellect took in
at a glance, while Stephens was burn¬
ing the midnight lamp. And yet they
were friends, bosom friends. Their
very “unlikeness” made impulsive, them like t aeh
other. One was bold, de
cisive ; the other slow ari sunk Faro
ful and ea itiouo, and lo.Vug i-kepli «l .< i

flowers, upon his grave, ov.er.,
the initials of his name |vu the bosom
of the earth that covers him, and their
sweet odor comes over you like the
pleasant merneory of a great and good
man gone to his rest. It is a good
sign whan the people with whom a man
has lived so long with ono accord make
a Mecca cl his grave and keep it fresh’
with Nature’s garland and are always
ready to go with the stranger there
and tell of his virtues. Crawfordville
loved Mr. Stephens and her people love
him still. I wish there was sgme way
to touch the slumbering and pa¬
triotism of our people so tiwit they
would take hold and build that monu¬
ment. IIow easily they could do it if
all those who arc able would only sond
in their mites. The gdbd ladies of
Crawfordville are struggling, strug¬
gling hard and have accomplished what
they could, but they aie almost help¬
less without the ct-operaticn of the
man. I wonder if there are not a
thousand good men in Georgia who
con spare ten dollars each. Monuments
to great and good men are the talent,
yet speaking teachers of the rising
generation. They are the monitors,
the paintejft, the Jnspirers to good
deeds and honorable fame. Old Dr,
Johnson said to Boswell that it was
every man’s duty to do something, for

A few years ago considerable num

fever”—sold out their property and
left poor old Georgia to make their
homes and fortune:) iri the West.
Some of them had families, while oth
ers were young men who no doubt ex
pected to find easy sailing and make
fortunes in a short time. After one or
two , years’experience, . aimost , , every one
of them returned, and are now satisfied
to spend the remainder of their days in
old Elbert county. Their experience
seemed to satisfy many others who had
a touch of the fever, but did not go,
