Uchee creek rises in the western part of Schley county winds down between a chain of low hills, till it forms a junction with the angry waters of Buck creek. Tliir- ty years ago this ci e -k tineaded |ts way through an almost unbroken furest, and its many deep pools teemed with fish. In some of tlu- piostfertilespots a few early settlers jiad built log cpbins, and cleared a small platt in the vicinity, which being fresh required but liriie work to make it produce freely. This ground was planted in porn and pther grains necessary for the sub- stance of man. The woods were full of game which made living cheap, and manner of obtaining it /acimiting to those early woods craftsmens. The trusty rifle from the little square windows in the hack of these primeval cabins, has often felled a huge- turkey gobler «»' "" "r ii ! ii " c "' 1 ’- I lie people had few \\ ants, that were m,t ..Sly satlstted, which offi-rcKsl much time for the sports of the day. The “pig path” and “cow trail” were the most frequented roads of travel, as by them could be reqehed the nearest point to the “Piney-woods Grocerv ” This was tlu-condition iilon^ the creek, but out on the ridges and along the “stage road” were large farms owners,' wpjl tilled by trus- t.vslaves whose were weal- thy and prosperous. A few years latcr a mania for going n west struck these creek settless, and many turned west warn! Such fabulous stories had been tol<l i>i the frontier, that some set out and even made journey in ox cart 1 . To-day early'settlers there is hardly ogu of those left. Their places have been filled by a more energetic people a pen- pie who have filled the forests, *■“* «*• are enjojing all the privileges of modern ' civilization. Memory does dot unfold to me he, record till several years later than the time ehout whieh it, thot record IJfliid many incidents of interest. I was born and have been raised near Uchee creek. As a boy I hunted the ’possum, and spent many an hour around the “fish holes” at night little earing whether I caught a fish or not, so interested was I in the many legends and witch stories as related i.y the “sla- very time negreos’who were always my companions on tiiese occasions. Space wdl not permit me to write more at present, but by permission hereafter, as they are connected With other characters I may intro-1 duce, relate some of the uiQgtW resting of these stories, which 11 have not yet s^en in print. C. ; t- I Fm'Ipm, l.n w -suit*. Southron Cultivator. j Nqt |pt)K agi, “lloh hoy,” in ;t mnnHjve form t»Tiv«* an account of “The Line Felice suits” in a cir- euit court of Alabama. TJ)c case had been on the docket for four years, but at each sessjoi) of the court, on motion of one side or the other, had been continued to the next term. The plaintiff qnd the defendant were planters n hose lands adjoined. Both estates wcfi- large, iiuipbering thousands of acres. Both men were of high Htamling in the community, educated, aeeo>jiulisf)pd and influ¬ ential. A sinjrje fence, about two miles in length, had formerly separated the plantations,and had been jointly kept in rep-dr by their respective owners. But the cattle of one hav¬ ing broken over the fence into a Held of the other, and !i hired man having injured or killed some of the trespassers, ill feelings sprang up over the occurrence between the two neighbors which culminated in ft ijuarrel am| f|ie disagreebleagree¬ ment that eneh should build and maintain a sc; erate fence immedi¬ ately alongside the other’s, Hut i even this double protection did not prevent marauding cows, owned by the plaintiff in the case, from break¬ ing into tiie defendant’s field where they were killed and for which the plaintiff hftd brought suit. Rut un¬ der the amending skill of the law¬ yers complaints and cross-bills had increa-.nl until they included the entire two miles qf double fencing and the dividing line between the the two properties, and the princi¬ pals to tlu> suit had become alienat¬ ed and for four years, though resid¬ ing but a few rods apart, and this in the country, had never spoken to each other. In (lie fourth year of this ;i}jtna- tion a new judge- had been, appoint¬ ed for the circuit and before him the case which, from its long continued presence in court, remit detl of “Jarndyce,” was at lasts .untied for trial with both sides announcing ready. Each had gone to considerable expenc.se in the re- taining of counsel amj the employ- ment of engineers for surveying the lands and drawing maps of them for enlightening the court and jury. Kcores of witnesses htnl heed sunt- moned by either side and the coin- mimity for miles around, in one manner or uno»!ter, become involv- td in the issues of the case, were now filling the court. Several hours had been consumed in obtaining a jury and other preli- m in ary work, when the taking of evi<, ‘‘ lue for tl,e P ,ai »tiff was about to proceed. At this juncture the presiding judge, a Rian of fine and noWe bearing, asked the attorneys to desist a few minutes as he had something to say hearing on the ~ When the lawyers were seat- ed the judge, leaning forward, said: “ r ^ xve » ,n inquiry-indecd a re- <luest ~ to II,ake of the P ar,, * 8 > l'ioi'diff and defendant, in this suit; 1 fepl as if l \ ,lly8( ' lf t R’P !l sense > a ,, '' r L y to || a,ul “O' deeply con- eerned uyer it.

Leaning a little further forward, with an elbow on the bench and the hand of that arm at his face, the Judge resumed: “Forty years ago there lived in the community w here np\v reside the plaintiff and defendant, three meo who were neighbors and friends.
