Athens, Texas, Feb. G, 1882.
Editor Recorder:—Thinking that
many of your readers would like to
hear from this country, I will, with
your permission, write a short let
ter through the columns of your
exclllent paper.
Athens is the county site of
Henderson, and is a thriving little
railfoad town with one thousand
inhibitniits. Henderson county is
in tile eastern portion of the state,
ami is noted for its water and tin^j,
her, both in quality and quantity.
Its boundaries extend wijst to the
Trinity river, and east to the Natch
ez river, at a distance ranging
froth thirty to seventy miles. Its
south boundary joins Atuiersou
county, and the north Vanzantz.
It lias an arm of about one thou
sand sqiinre miles, and a popula
tion of tell thousand souls. The
soil is of a loose sandy loam, and
is Very productive. The average
yield per acre, is, com, oats and
peas about ijvcnty-fivc bushels.
Wheat is an uncertain crop, and
seldom exceeds lillcen bushels.
Cotton, about seven hundred
pounds in the seed. Cane grows
fine. Potatoes and ail other vege
tables grow to perfection. Tobac
co, also, grows very line. Lands
arc very cheap, and on the best of
teritos. Unimproved from fifty cents
to two dollars per acre; improved
from two to five dollars per acre.
The health is about on an uveruge
with tlie slate. There is.a great
deal of this county under water,
caused by almost perpetual rains
within the last month. Much
damage is being done to railroads.
Small pox is creating no little
excitement here at present. Scv
oral cases arc reported near Athens
op! the railroad.
Having resided in this county
but a short time, I shall not he
able to give many items; neverthe
less, I Imvc been over a great deal
of her territory seeking a lost
horse and corn to feed to him, and
lip to tins writing have not suc
ceeded in either. Corn is a scarce
article at one doliur and twenty-
five cents per Imshol, oats at one
dollar, bran at forty cents, and
peas at one dollar and fifty cents
pur bushel. I believe that farmers
are lower spirited limn I have ever
seen them in Texas. Very few
lmve corn to run them until crops
arc made. Flour is selling at from
nine to eleven dollars per barrel;
bacon ut fourteen cents per pound,
and the trouble is, cannot be had
in tills market at the prices quoted,
for cars pre not running now on
account of nccidents, nor will not
for a week, and perhaps longer if it
continues to rain as at present.
In jny truvcls over this and
other counties, I had the pleasure
of meeting with several of my old
acquaintances from Georgia, among
whom wns Mr. Jno. I). Askew, of
Webster county. He lmd been in
the statu about a month, and I am
peused to state that both him and
his wife were well pleased with this
country, ami regret not having
come sooner.
The political campaign will open
with us this fall, and we anticipate
a lively time, as the ofllce seekers
Pass Him Aronnd.

Hearing of a difficulty that oc
curred between two drummers at
tho depot on Tuesday, as the pass
enger trains were passing, and that
one of th: gentlemen, Col. W’. H.
Bradley, of Paducha, Ky., (who by
the way, is a Georgian by birtjji,
and well known to many of our cit
izens, as a high-toned gentleman,)
was still in the city, we repaired to
the hotel and learned from Col.
Bradley, and the other gentleman,
the following circumstances:
While sitting at the hotel
Madison, Ga., some two evenings
previous, conversing with other
drummers, upon the "Commercial
Brotherhood." a life insurance and
relief association of Atlanta, Col.
Bradley asked one of the party,
a Mr. Tlmd M. I’lantz, who is rep
resenting the Queen Varnish Co.,
Cincinnutti, Ohio, if he would not
like to join tile Brotherhood. To
which i’lantz replied that lie did
not. Nor did he want to belong
to any of tile Southern organiza
tions, that lie was a Northern man,
ami had no love whatever, lor
tile South or the Southern people,
Unit lie was with General Wilson
in his raid on the South, ai)d
took special pleasure in lending liis
personal assistance to the many
house robberies ami city burnings
for which General Wilson wns no
ted'; that he was present, and as
sisted in sticking the torch to At'
lanta, and had but ouc regret to
make, and that was that the entire
South had not been burned up.
Colonel Bradley denounced him
then and there, as a robber, thiel
and house-burner, and interlcrence
only kept Col. Bradley from giving
him a sound Hogging then.
I’lantz was ordered to leave
Madison at once, or suttcr the al
ternative of a eont of tar and leath
ers. He chose the former.
Colonel Bradley was getting off
the train at this .point on Tuesday,
when he wns met by I’lantz, who
was gutting oil, with the statement,
that he had the advantage of him
at Madison, but that lie would get
even with him. Colonel Bradley
promptly replied that he was ready,
not object to I’lantz having been a
Federal soldier, tlmt lie can slmke
hands over the chasm with any
Federal soldier, provided he is a
gentleman, Init he docs not propose
to have such n scoundrel us Plantz,
boaet of the fact that he stuck the
torch to our homes and cities in
his presence.
YVc would suggest to tho Queen
Varnish Company, which I’jantz
reprsents, that before they solicit
the trade of the Southern mer
chants, they should select u repre
sentutive that has, ut least, com
mon sense enough to keep his
month shut on such subjects.
YVe hope the papers of tho South
will pass this house-burner I’lantz
around, and we lake great plcusure
in complimenting him with this
free, notice.

Who Has (he Bight te Crow l
From certain speeches and news
paper articles it is made manifest
that our Northern brothers are
laying claim to the credit of hav
ing brought about the present
prosperity of the South, while it is
true that some few localities in the
South (Atlanta) have been
partly built up by Northern capi
tal, yet the people at largo owe no
thanks to any outside help for the
modicum of prosperity they enjov.
They lmve achieved it by their
own pluck and determination, their
own hard, steady work. Crushed
more by the mistaken policy car
ried out in reconstruction than
even by the war itself, they have
developed a wonderful recupera
tive power, and have not only re
covered from the back set which
misgoverning gave them, but have
gone far beyond their ante-bellum
attainments in material and intel
lectual progress. They raise more
cotton and of better quality; they
have learned not Co lean on this
one staff, but to diversify their
crops and by so doing increase
their income while they improve
their soil. Every day brings new
developments. Tlie seed of the
cotton is found to contain a bon
anza; new and improved cereals,
new fibre plants, new fruits are be
ing cultivated, manufactures are
being established and new rpIIroad
lines built to carry the increasing
products to market. And the
Nortli says: "Behold, we did all
this for our brother; shall he not
render us thanks?” Not if we know
ourselves. True, lie knocked the
staff ol slavery out of our hands
though not through brotherly love
God wot; but when we fell to tho
earth, did he play the good Samari
um ? Not he. We had to crawl as
host we could, until strong enough
to stand alone. Where he saw an
apportunlty of putting money in
his purso by easting bis sheckels
on our side, he did so. He invest
ed occasionally in good paying
railroads, manufactories etc., help
ing us incidcntly while adding to
Ids millions. We were glad to have
him come among us with friend-

A Wonderful Case.
(Jriffln Nows.
Some liftcen months ago ayming
son of Mr. Byrd Lovett, of Meri
wether county, was taken ill with
typhoid fever. Hu gradually grew
worse and finally becamo inscn
sihle. He rallied again, however,
hut continuing ill at last had Ids
reason dethroned, and for five
months was considered non com
pos mentis. In pH, he 1ms been
sick eighteen months, never leav
ing his bed in Hint time. Ills age
is about eighteen, and his father
never imagined he would get well,
expecting daily'to see him die. A
few weeks ago, however, be com
menced to rally, and without any
apparent cause, gradually grew
brighter, mentally, and stronger,
physically, until now he promises
to get well entirely. Before his
weight was only GO pounds; now he
weighs 120. Ills mind is perfectly
clear and ho lias been up some.
Altogether this is one of the most
marvelous cases of sickness on re
cord.
A IVOman’s Experience.
Mothers and Daughters should

stantly oppressed them. “If lam
fretful from exhaustion of vital
powers anil the color is fading from
my face, Parker’s Ginger Tonic,
gives quick relief. It builds roe
up and drives away pain with
wonderful certainty.’’-Buffalo lady.
The ladies who sometime since
worn unable to go out,having taken

have gone on their way rejoicing.
day is duo mainly to the rigid
economy, the dogged grin-and-
bcar-it, the persistent hard work
and brave determination of her
men and women.
"Don’t crow till you aro out of
thu woods," says tho old adage.
The South was a long time coming
through the dark woods of poverty
and despair. Wolves of hatred
tracked her, thorny obstacles wore
thrown in her path by licensed
hands—licenced by a government
that should have grasped a wider
policy, if but for polioy’s sake.
Owls of unbelief hooted after her
in mockery, ‘So, hot Told you sol
Down you go; can’t walk without
your stuff of slavery." She an
swered nothing; only pushed on,
half fainting, bat gathering
strength from sheer necessity,
until behold, she is out of the
woods, she is in the clearing and
sees broader light ahead. But
before she can get breath to‘crow,’
the ytrsiu of self-gratulatidn is
taken out of her month. Lo, her
Northern big bud who baa stood
oir and seen the struggle, cries,
“Hurrah I see what I havedonct"
It is just a "leetle” too much, and
we ure forced to utter a word of
protest Sunny South.
Hon. W. H. English, of Indiana,
late Democratic candidate for Y r ice
President, has made a personal
statement, in which be says the
principal cause of the Democratic
defeat in Indiana in October. I860,
was tho decision of the Democratic
Supreme Court overthrowing the
constitutional amendments which
changed the election from October
to November. Be says more mon
ey was used by the Democrats in
the Indiana campaign of 1880 than
wbb ever used In any previous can
vass. Mr. English says be Is ac
tually glad that he was not elect
ed; that he was “a big fool ever to
think of such a thing," and that be
“finds it difficult to understand why
he ever consented to run for the
office stall."
Jacob Harrell, tax collector of
Decatur county, has absCbnded
