Editor Messenger :
! I have read several letters in
your paper from this section of the
country and os I hove been o citi
zen of this county 14 years 1 know
the truth and errors that are stuted
in them, ns regards this country
and its adaptabilities health, water
and such like.
Before I proceed far .in r, I wish
to say to you and your many reud
ers, that I lived in Walker County,
Ga., 27 years, and I flatter wysell
that I know the difference between
the two counties, I have reference
to the countries and not the people
for they are the same. I admit at
the start that there are great many
iuip< rfections here in many respect
but how is it there? As lor farm
ing wo can almost douule yon in
products and in ease of cultiva
tion, os our lands a e mostly prai
rie and we oau use any kind of ma
chine that it made to farm with.
How is it there ?
There is a portion of this Coun
try that is not fit for cultivation,
hut I defy an) man to find one
acre of waste land in Parker Coun
ty.thatis not'fil furtcuitivation. Na
ture nasgiyen usacrop of grass that
ezee's any.crop of grain that ev r
was planted in Georgia or uny
where else, if we will but do our
part and fornish {stock to eat, it.
How|is it there?
As to health, from your com
munications 1 think wegars fur in
advance. At the same time people
get sick here and some have died.
How is it there? Let wind Hnter
or John Limber state in their nexi
letter.
Mr. Editor I know that there aie
poor people in all countries, and
always will be. But I know there
is uo necessity for a man with in
duatrioi s habits to be very poor ic
this country,)for it is productive
with a market for every thing
Wages are high, sls per month
lowest wages for farm work. And
if a man want* to get rich on the
shortest time on record, let him
go into the business, that is
racing live stock. But it requires
capital for that now, as stock is on
a boom. Tb ere are several other
things tbat I will mention in my
next. Contented.

LAFAYETTE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1883.
Slave or Wife.
‘Ten o’clock and the lunch bus
ket not ready to take to the field —
as ueuair grunted Farmer Brewster
as he threw himse'f into ttie rock
ing chair in the kiichen, and fan
ned his flushed face with his straw
hat. A quarter of an hour wasted,
very likely, waiting here, right in
the midst r.f as flue a hav day as
any man would wish to see. Now,
my motlierjused to have her lunch
ready to the minute wi enover \ie
came for it, and I don’t see why’—
His jeremiade was checked by
tbs appearance of his wife, who
came out of the pantry, tugging
along the grsAt lunch basket, id
most too heavy for her strength.
Farmer Brewster was a young
man, in spite of his grumbling,
Only 23, tall,straight,healthy, with
blue eyes, rosy cheeks, fair curly
hair —and handsome face when it
was not darkened,as now,by a scowl
of discontent.
An only son, he had inherited a
large and handsome farm, clear
from mortgage and debt, which
supplied all the wants of his House
hold rnoit libera 1 ly, and gave
him a nice little sum of money to
deposit in the bank each year.
There was no reison why lie
should be mean, and yet miserly
habits were gradually growing up
■m him far fast r than he knew.
Nor was there need of grumbling
over the household arrangements,
since the wife of hip choice was n
termer’* daughter who knew well
how to work, and who had taken
delight in setting her home in fault
less order when first she came as a
bride to the pleasant Brewster
piece.
The same order regained still,
from garret to cellar of the square
old house, but Mrs. Brewster went
through her taskß mechanically
now, or with nervous haste and
hurry that made them almost un
endurable sometimes.
Tiie constant dropof water will
weir away a stone;, nd the Con-tan t
fault-finding in which her husba. d
saw fit to indulge, had nearly
wern the patience, tbe hope and
the eadurance out of tbe young
wife’* heart.
The comfort and happiness of
that home hung upon a thread,
which frayed more and more, hour
by hour, under tbe pain of unmeri
ted blame.
Yet G. orge Brewster saw noth
ing of this until this morning of
which I write.
‘There is the lunob, and it is ex
actly five minutes past ten,’ said
Mrs. Brewster, setting the banket
down with some emphasis atjhis
feet. ‘I was delayed that much
with the butter. It hud to be Bser
io before the sun got too high.’
‘My mother always churned be
fore breakfast,’ observed George,
rising slowly to his feet.
His wife ssid nothing, but tbe
color rose hotly in her cheeks until
the lost bloom of her girlhood
seemed to have come back again,
and she raised her ejes to his with
s look that start'ed him.
Very handsome.eyeß they were
dark, soft and velvety, with a
world of love and tenderness in
their depth.
Yet now they met his own coldly
and sternly, with such an express
ion that he exclaimed!
‘Good gracious! Letty. You look
as if you hated me!’
‘l'm afraid I do,’ was tbe astoun
dirg reply.
Aud with a swift glance at the
clock, Letty hurried down into ihe
cellar with a knife and a pun t >
n, ,ks her preparations for dinner
forsixhung'y haymakers.
‘Afra.d she hates me! My wife!
She tbat was Letty Glover!’ mut
tered he to himself in bis bewilder
ment. ‘Why, wb*t on earth—
she muet be going crazy, cr some
thing or other.’
‘Letty!’ La called at tbe cellar
door.’
‘lt is ten minutee past 10,’ she an
swered from the depths ot her cel
lar 'lf I dw.’t see about the din
ner now it won’t be on tbe table
at 12 to the minute, as your moth
er used to have it I can’t come.'
Well, if this don’t neat all,’ said j
he to tbe maltsc end a .tile cat who j
ascended from the cellar, aud rup- '
bet' herself Kgsinst his legs.
A *liout from the hsyfteld rouse 1
hioi to the recollection of the day’s
tu-ines*.
He went out and dispensed the
treasure of biß basket among the
hungry men, who praised Letty’*
excellent cooking with every
mouthful they swallowed.
'lt is enough to n ake an old
bachelor like me sit down ai d cry
toeAt such raspberry shortcake as
that,’said 8 ilomun Wvae, wiping
tho crumbs of the feast from his
lips before he drank hard cider
from the jug. ‘Tell you whatsit is
Ueoree, you drew a priz ■ when you
went courting.’
‘So he did. And here’s her good
health,’ chimed in another mower
as he took up the jug.
George assented, vaguely.
They were talking of his wife —
his wife, who was afraid she hated
him.
N ver had the two hours between
lunch and dinner dragg.d so dow
iy-
As he rode round and round the
field with a sharp ra tie of the
mowing machine he guided in his
care, his mind was continually
busy with Letty’s looks, and her
words, and his e cs tuned often
toward the cream-colored firm
house, behind whose spiuce green
blinds his wife was busy preparing
dinner.
‘I used to think how happy I
should be if I ever persuaded her
to coiue here,’ he thought. ’lt is
two years this very duy that we
were married I I won. er ifshe re
members it! r 'ut it isn’t very like
ly, when she says she is a.ruid she
hairs me.’ t
Did she remember ? Ah, in that
remembrance lay the sting !
Ail that mori.ing, while she got
breakfast at 5 o’clock, and washed
the di.'hes, swept the rooms, made
the beds, churned butter, and pre
pared a luuch for six men, her
hunt turned buck to that other
morning 24 months ago, wlieu the
bright-eyed country maiden rose at
4 o’clock to complete her prepara
lions for her wadding day.
How good, how kind, how hand
some her George was than? How
his eyes followed her; how bis lore
blessed her!
Was it all her fault that the
bloom and beauty of life had de
parted in tliobe two short years ?
Looking bosk she could see no
day in which she had not at least
tried to do her duty.
And looking in <be glass she saw
how the light and glow of youth
had passed from her face, while ac
complishing the task uncheered by
tbe approval oi him she loved.
‘George has kept his color and
his good looks because Us Work
lies cut of door*,’she mused,'but
I have worked in this old kitchen
until I look old enough to be his
mother. His mother’’—she paus
ed with a bitter laugh—"l almost
wish I was his mother, then be
would be suited with what I did ’
Noon came. The 12 o'clock
whistle sounded sharp and clear
from the factory in the villagt a
mile away ; and before the whistle
ceased a little figure shipped out on
the porch of the Brewster house
and blew a horn.
“There’s a woman for you,’ vaid
Solomon Wyse, a Imiringly. ‘Din
ner to the minute —aud won’t it be
a good one T
The dinner was indeed a success;
every dainty of the season and
farm was there, skillfully cocked
amt neatly served on a table in the
cool dining room—a table covered
witn snowy cloth fresh from its
fold, und glass ai d china.
In the c- nter of the table stood
a great china bowl full of red roses
that perfumed the room. Her
cheeks were red her eye< shone
dark aod bright, arid her words und
smiles were ready for every one
save George. As she sat grave
and silent at the foot of the table,
be looked at her wontleringly.
She wore a dress of silver gray
alpaca lhut had been tier traveling
dress when they were married.
A large white apron, with a tjh
shielded the glories of the costume,
but why did she put it on? Sure
ly sue could not think of “going*
yisiting” that afternoon, with six |
bay-makers to gel tea for, and tbe
milk of eight cow* to attend to *l
-
But te finally went out without
asking it. Tho wife, who was
afraid she haled him seemed al
most lie a utraiiger, although she
looked so much on this occasion
like the girl he had married jußt
two years ago.
As G< orge ne<red the door of the
wood shed wtera tbe men w-re
lounging away the rest of their
nooning, lie heard his own name,
uttered hy Solomon Wyae in tone*
of anger.
’Yes, 1 knew George from a baoy
up. and I ulw >ys said he'd make a
likely man. But I vow it i» a
shame to see how he treat* that
pretty little creature! Suchalunoh
thia morning and lueh a dinner
this noon, in such a nice,oool room,
with led roses and all the rest of it;
and s!.e just as pretty as a picture,
with her red cheeks aud bright
eyes, ind her wavy hair, and dresa
td as neat as a pink, too. And lie
sitting there as glum as a cross old
man of 90. I was ushamed of
him.”
'l've heard he does nothing but
find Intllt with her all day long,’
said a second voice, ‘My wife
nays if 1 threw my mother into hei
teeth, its George does bis in Letty’s,
she’d run away from me before the
was e day older.’
And serve you right,’ cliimss in
a third. Til tell you what my
wife suys. She says it ia conf< un
ded m an and small of George not
to keep a woman here to help bis
wife. And when 1 saw the dinner
to-duy, the pretty little thing had
got for us all alone, I thought so
too. Hang me, if I hadn’t half u
mind to stop here ibis afternoon
and help her wash up that great
pile of dishes, end let the haying
go to thunder It'* enough to kill
tbe womau to have all that work
to do- And George is rich. What
or. earth is bethinking about? But
he'll be sorry about this in a y ;ur
or two hence, when we have to
o*mn here on a different errand.’
•To carry her out in a coffin,’
said Solomon Wyae. “Yes, I sup
pose it will come to that if some of
us don’t talk seriously to George.
Shb don’t look at all strong now,
ai d her hand trembled when the
changed my plate. It's a burning
shame, and if none of you will talk
to George about it, I will.’
But when George Brewster join
ed them Solomon Wyae deemed it
prudent to defer the proposed talk
ing to, for bis brow was black as
night, and he bad no more to say
to his neighbor* now than to bis
wife at the dinner table.
This, then, was the way in which
they spoke of him behind his back,
these men who labored beside him,
and took their wages from hi* hand,
und pretended to lie hi* friend*.
And hi* wife was afraid she hat
ed him,
To whom could he turn for com
fort —from whom could he exj ect
true friendship, if she who should
have been the nearest and dearest
was an enemy in disguise 7 Lost
in moody reverie, he paid little at
tention to his work.
Ar.d at la<t, at 3 o’clock in the
afternoon, there was a sudden up
roar in the liuyfield—a trumping of
hoofs, a rush of terrified men, a
confui-ion oi voices, and among
them all George Brewster lying on
the ground beneath the mowing
machine, hie right arm and leg
broken hy Ihe wheels, his head cut
and bleeding with his heavy full.
Meanv. li.le Letty io the cream
cob red houee, liud not been idle.
Ty iog on u great calico apron in
place of her white one, ebe had
quietly washed ti nt gieat pile of
dishes, and reduced the dining
room to order.
Tej was earily arrang'd ehcc it
was to consist of cold dishes, with
glissps of milk lor (tie men.
Hho tliiew a e’ean table cloth ov
er the whole ai soon us it was fin
ished, and went upstairs into the
spare chamber to pack her trunk.
Yes. Letty had made up her
mind at lust, bbe wa« goii g uway.
Life bad dtgi Lirand into slavery
UDbrightened, as she fancie j, by a
ray of love.
•And slavery will support one
any where,’thought Le ty, as with
t.embliug bands she locked aod
NO. 19.
strapped her trunk and fast nnd
her few liuee to George upon the
lid.
At the porch door she pnused sot
one last look nrr.und the house that
might have been happy.
She did not intend to glance to
ward the liny fit Id.
Yet in spite of her resoluti n her
eyet turned that way to single o it
the tall figure that gvided the tat
tling, clinking mowing n sell,tie,
“I wonder if tie will miss me u
little just at first? she mused.
‘He can get a divorce, I suppose, it
1 desert him, and thet: lie will mar
ry again. I hope he will be kinder
to his next wife than he bus beei
to me l‘
With tears that rose at th>
thought of tier sucue-tur b inding
hur eyes, Lett? failed to see llie fig
Ure that she sought,
‘•I am foolish to look at him
again. I have never been mo.e
than a liouaeke'per to hi u frnm
the first,” she thought., stun.bln g
blindly on toward the gate and
opening it to find hetself in the
center of an exc>t*d group.
‘There don’t you take on like
that I’ said Solomon Wy*e, who
ciinie first und snw the >vars upon
hei cheeks before sha could wipe
them away.
‘Were you coming out to meet
us? We were in hopes you didn’t
see anything of it. It’s a bud acci
dent, but George is so strong and
hearty tiiat he will be up and
around again almost before you
know it. We’ve sent Ben Hill ofi
on one of the colt* for the doctor,
and ifynu will only till us where
to carry him— ’
‘Dairy him?’ repeated L-tiy
S domoti stepped aside. She saw
behind him a litter, roughly made
of hay rakes and covered over with
coats, and on that I tter George
was lying, pule aud bl*< ding, with
his eyes closed.
‘Oh, Mr, Wyse, is lie dead ?’ si e
asked, turning even paler than
George.
‘Not a bit of it I Wo th 12dozen
dead men yet I Only a bit of a
break in one arm and one leg. and
a little knock cn the head when he
fell. The horeo didn’t kick, ai d
he’ll be all right as soon ns the doc
tor fees him. Shall wo take him
upstairs,or where?’
‘Bring him io be:e,’ said Letty,
recovering herself.
She led th* way to the bedroom
on ihe ground door, and helped to
shift lbs maimed figul* from the
litter to the bed.
Her soul wins d> mg within her
for Ear, yet not a word passed her
lips.
Wnen the doctor ca- e he found
a capable t urns, dresaed in d-'tk
print, who I stoned intellig nlly to
hi* directions, and promised to
carry them cut fully.
And so it happmed that at Geo.
Brewster return' (1 to life the first
words that fed upon his ear weic
u*. ered hy the doctor outride the
window, hh he mounted his gg :
‘Yes, he will do, Mr. Wyeej lie
will pull through niee if his wile
nurses him. And she cull do so
nicely if some of ycu will sene’
some one to take charge of the
bouse. She is a woman in n thou

value her.’

And (Solomon YVyse bus never seen

“Somehow or other,’ drawls Sol

And l<elty and Gvrge think so,
too.
