Fishing for .71 uti Cat.
An Ucher Creek Scene.
“Now’s er good time to catch fish,
an efyou wants to see sum fun pull¬
ing out mud eats, you jes dig er big
gode ob bate, an ax Miss Marthy to
let you go long wid me, to-night,
down to do “cat hole.” It ez jes
fo 4 days to do lull ob de moon, an
ur
it rained day before yesterday, so
we will be bound to rake ’em.”
These were the words addressed
to us at dinner lime, by old Uncle
Mose, as faithful and reliable an
old negro as ever served under a
masters rule. He was one of those old
negroes, that did not care to associ¬
ate with his own race, butprefered
to stay round tie “White foks.” For
this reason, and the care and atten¬
tion lie always gave the children,
lie received many little favors that
caused him the envy of all the other
sla\es. He be lived in withery and
conjuring, and to prevent » “spell”
being put on him, he at all times
carried a piece of silver in his
et. He had inexhaustible supply
Of these stories, which he never
tired of telling; never failing to
have an attentive audience.
Jake hearing Uncle Mose’s re¬
quest said he was going too, and
suggested that we “find er lien
nest Ole Miss node nuffin bout and
carry de.eggslong wid us. Jake was
about fifteen years old and was in
moredevilment,and got more whip-
ping than any three negroes on the
plantation. He caused Uncle Mose
more annoyances than every thing
else he had to contend with.
Niglitcameon, it was one of those
calm quiet nights of early
Not a rift of cloud to be seen in the
clear sky. Only a few of the bright-
est stars dared to peep out upon the
night. Every object of nature
seemed to be affectionately embrac
ed by the bright moon light, whose
soft rays gently kissed the spark¬
ling drops, on the long Autumn
grass. Across the path, that wound
along through the wood, fell many
dark shadow, that looked like so
many monster animals, crouching
to spring on the unsuspecting trav¬
eler, At the creek a powerful or¬
chestra of frogs were keeping up a
deafening noise. On every side
could be heard the weired notes of
the scrlchowl. Birds fluttered
among the branches, and snakes
glided off among the reeds, but all
this seemed very amusing to a hor¬
rible laughing owl,that was perched
upon a dead poplar, keeping up his
continued “Jut! ha! li.U”
“Now you boys hate yor hooks, an
<■_ ,i „ Otar n hor dar Gar hv Oy dnt Gal loir log, and an
stickde . poles in de bank, an be inity
Htil] „„ watch de “ cork; ’ an we will be
sho ter git er big string. Wen you
hears de frogs er hollering, an sees
de mellow bugs er skeeting on de
top ob de water it ez er mighty good
sign. An ef you catch er crawfish
be slio an save ’em, fer ever one
you catch ez good fer two mud
cats.”
Of all the “tisli holes” along the
creek, tills was the most frequented.
The creek made a sudden turn here,
leaving a broad still place next to
the bank, that contained an inex¬
haustible supply of mud cat. They
bit well on the night of which we
write; all of us had caught over
twenty ancl they were biting, when
Uncle Mose was seen to slowly draw
his line near the bank, and then to
reach down and drag out a huge
turtle by the tail.
“Dar ez no use er you snapping
an trying to be so raanish. 1 knose
wen you catch hold uv er fellow you
holds him tel it thunders. But I’se
caught er turkel fore dls. You ole
scaly back rascal, I knose you lias
sum ob ebery kind uv meat in your
ole rusty shell; and Ttiar knose jes
how to fix it up. Come right erlong
honey, dar aitit no| usen yer snap-
pin’ an orbiting uv the ground. I
dun mean ter let yer git back, kase
you ez wuf ’.all de fish we’s gwine
ter ketch, Mon, one uv you boys
hit de ole rascal on de bed wid dat
stick an stun him an den 1 will cut
his ole loggy bed off.”
Having dispatched with the tur¬
tle Uncle Mose decided he had a-
bout as many fish as he wanted, so
proceeded to wind up his tackle.
But Jake was not satisfied; lie had
not roasted the eggs, which lie
would have told Uncle Mose: “Dat
Ole Miss gid ’em to me fer finding
er hen nest.” 8o to get even with
the old man for leaving so early,he
unobserved attached a calico string
to the turtle.head and placed it in
one of the old fellows shoes. Uncle
Mose always wore his shoes to the
creek on account of snakes, but up¬
on his arrival at the water he laid
them off. It was not Jong before
Uncle Mose was heard to give a
yell, and then began to kick and
roll and tumble and turn summer
saults, with the turtle head fast on
his middle toe. He capered around
in this way for fully five minutes,
when finally, after beating out the
light and frightening the frogs into
silence, the toe gave way and the
turtle head went whizzing through
the darkness,
“Oh, lordy have mercy on poor
ole Moses sole! fer he is er dead
nigger ills time sho. Tell Riar how
er great big moccoson crailed in one
ob my shoes an was the casion ov
me deth,”
“But Uncle Mose—
“No chile you kin do nuffin fer
de ole man now. Me leg ez as big
as me body alius uz. 1 kin feel de
swelling gifting in me body an me
tongue. De ole man won’t be here
| many mii utes. Jake, you tell yo
mammy an all de res good by.
Tell ’em thank the lord de ole man

“But say: you are not snake bit:
you are not going to die.”
“Den wliat mean ail dis swelling
and dis blood on me loot? Sides
didn’t T see an feel dat great big ole
! streaked moccoson er hanging to
me toe.”
“That was the turtle head Jake
put in your shoe.”
“Was dat some ob Jake’s debil-
ment ? I’ll teach him whose shoe
he puts turkle heads in.”
But Jake had comprehended the
situation, and stole one the old

“l’ ve heard of‘an eye for an eye,’

“I was calling at the house of uny

(Concluded.)
Every ear in the court-room was
attending upon the measured utter¬
ances of tin* speaker while over the
faces of tlic two litigants a softened
expression had replaced the defiant
one of but a few minutes before.
Continuing, the Judge said as lie
spread before him one of the topo¬
graphical maps:
“i need no surveyor to enlighten
me about the lay of land or the run-
ning of tin* dividing line fence.
have walked, I think, over every
foot of these fields and climbed ev
ery panel ol the fence. This
chestnut tree—what sport iiave we
not had chunking down its fruit to
tie proudly taken to three certain
little girls at school—the first love
either of us hail, 1 remember the
plaintiff being once a little chopfall-
en at having but a half handfull of
chestnuts to take to his girl and that
the defendant generously divided
with him his larger supply. It was
from this tree tin* defendant had the
misfortune to fall and dislocate an
ankle, causing him severe pain,
which so distressed the plaintiff that
lie shed more tears out of sympathy
for liis little playfellow than did the
wounded one himself. It was in
the little pond back of the gin house
woods that we fished for horny-
headsand into a deep part of whicli
I oi.ee unexpectedly plunged and
in my fright, might have drowned
but for the life-saving crew com¬
posed of the plaintiff and defendant.
All, those were charming days.
The memory of them is far sweeter
than is the experience I am now un¬
dergoing of seeing my two loving
chums of the old standing opposed
malignant contestants, in a court of
law, each with lawyers employed
to say unkind things of the other.
“Pardon this digression from the
proposition I started to make which
is this: that I lie invested by plain¬
tiff and defendant with unlimited
arbitrative authority to decide this
case. Will you, the plaintiff and
you the defendant, relegate 10 me
this power ? My heart revolts from
tlie hearing of any word from any
one intended to detract from the in¬
tegrity and honor of either of you.
Neither of you have done any wrong
by design; I know you both and do
not believe that the earth holds, to
day, two men of more unimpeacha¬
ble rectitude. Each of you consider
himself aggrieved by the other and
both have all the quality of stub¬
bornness comporting with proud
manhood. Both have been angered
by distorted reports carried back
and forth by certain gossips which,
unhapily, exist in even the best of
communities.
“I ask of plaintiff and defendant
that you will consent to dismiss the
witnesses, counsel mid jury and
that, now and here, I be authorized
to adju dicate this difference be¬
tween you, Gentlemen, will you
grant this favor to your old friend?”
Instantly and simultaneously
plaintiff and defendant came to
their feet and both answered “I do.”
“I thank you both,” responded the
judge in a broken tone of voice,
while his eyes were not noticeable
for dryness, “Now,” looking toward
the defendant, “you come and stand
at my right side, here, at the bench,
and you” addressing plaintiff,“stand
in a like position at my left.”
He shook a hand of each as they
came beside him and the several
hundred people in the court room
appeared undecided whether smiles
or tears were more appropriate, for
some certainly straddled the ques¬
tion by indulging in both. The
judge with the map- before him,
pointing to the dividing line be¬
tween the two plantations, directed
that the plaintiff should maintain
the fence to a certain point and the
defendant tear down his along that
distance, and that beyond that point
the defendant should maintain the
fence while the plaintiff should pull
down iliat he had built. “Your fa¬
thers” he said, “had a single fence
that w ay and you will do well to
‘remove not the ancient landmarks
that your fathers have set.’”
The trifling damage which had
been the one item of the original
suit the judge did not even refer to,
but eliminated it along with amend¬
ments to complaint and answer by
saying “Life Is too short for any part
of it to be fritted away over these
vaporings of lawyers’ invention.”
Then folding the map the judge ask¬
ed “Gentlemen, do you accept the
verdict rendered as conclusive?”
The defendant answered “yes” as
the plaintiff said “I do.”
“Once again I thank you both,”
w r as said with evident emotion, and
then, rising from his chair, the
added, “Now there is one ex¬
tra judicial request I have to make
of you. In the name of the friend-
ship between our fathers and ap-
pealing as over their graves in the
little church yard; in remembrance
of our cordial companionship in
childhood, youth and early mau-
hood; for the sake of the friend who
s tiH i ()Ves anf ) honors you other’by both l
as k that you take each
one hand.”
As their right hands met iu
orous clasp the hands of the judge
clasped them over and under. So
they stood for a full half minute
which time the Judge required for
regaining his self jmssexslon; then
as tire hands were unjoined, he unids
“There is one point yet to he attend-
od to, the fonts have not been
vlded for; but there shall he no dis¬
pute uhout that; Mr. Clerk,” lie ad¬
dressed that official “you will please
foot up the cost accrued in this case
and hand the footing to me. I
shall pay them myself,”
As very serious or pathetic passa¬
art* sometimes succeeded by
mirthful ones, so the scene, to this
time full of pathos, now became a
decidedly humorous one, for in the
same instant plaintiff and defend-
ant pressed toward the clerk each
clamoring that he himself should
pay. Such was their earnestness
ami such the contrast from their re¬
cent contention that the judge, af¬
ter a quick glance at their faces, was
seized with a tit of hearty laughter
in which t he audience joined hear¬
tily. When quiet was restored the
Judge said: “Well, let me settle
this disputed point also. I direct
the cost be equally shared by plain¬
tiff and defendant.” And so ended
“The Line Fence Suit;" but what a
different one would have transpired
at the end, had these irate farmers
kept up a useless and expensive lit¬
igation, without a thought of yield¬
ing on either side, and a refusal to
compromise. Finally, no doubt,
both farms would have been swal
lowed up by court costs and law¬
yer’s fees. The cheapest, happiest
and best plan to settle differences
arising between neighbors is to com¬
promise in a spirit of brotherly
kindness, always meeting half-way
concesssons made in such a spirit -

TO HIE PLANTERS OF SCHLEY and ADJOINING COUNTIES
Having rented the Warehouse of W. I) Murray for the coming season,
I beg leave to call your attention to the same, and respectfully asking of
a liberal share of patronage. Having an experience of eighteen years in
the Warehouse business, I Hatter myself that I understand it.
I shall endeavor at all times to get Americus which prices for cotton, which
can be done, save the difference in freight amounts to about one
eighth of a cent per pound. My charges will be the same ns Americus
charges, fifty cents for storage, twenty-five for extra storage, and twenty,
five cents per bale for selling. But any farmer has a right to sell his own
cotton ami I shall at all times render him any assistance I can In so doing.
I have employed Mr. J. K. Gaines as my sealesman, he having been in
the employ of Mr. W. D. Murray for two past seasons. I believe he is a
man that will stand perpendicular between the buyer and seller
I have engaged Mr. Murray to look after the warehouse, business until
1st of September, being compelled to look after and wind fq> my business
in Americus. I then come among Respectfully you as a citizen, Yours, and ijrti I ask of you
is a fair trial. H. TMDEE.

I have a complete stock of every kind of furni¬
ture; such as fine parlor sets, Bureaus, Wardrobes, Bedsteads of every
description goods and and prices to correspond. I cannot be excelled In quality of
prices anywhere. There is nothing about your house in the
way of furniture that I cannot furnish. I have all sorts and flatter my¬
