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. Cuthbert; Entorprlw. 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. / ' if. 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- tho promptly replica that lie was ready, 8 i, lp in ono lmnd a mL money In the there or anywhero else. • Interfer- '6fc|,oiv We admire" and respect enee again prevented tlie Colonel ■ ■ - - .. • from thrashing him.

Ladies who 'appreciate elegance and purity are using Barker’s Hair Balsam. It Is the best article sold for restoring grey hair to its original color, Isanty anil lustre. 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 feel alarmed when weariness con 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 Lydia E. I'inkham’ Vegetable Com pound, are quite recovered, and 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 with $5,000 belonging to tlie coun ty. Mr. Harrell has held the office for a nhmber of years and baa al ways been proraptHn bis settle ments. The county commission ers bad such laitb in bis integrity that they failed to take say bond from him this year.
