Barbecue at Capt. Heath's In Leo
county.
Editor yews and A deer liter:
Last Friday n party of live re
sponded to an invitation from Capt.
F. M. Heath and partook of Ids hos
pitality in the shape of a grand bar
becue dinner at his place In Leo
county, sixteen miles from Albany.
This was along distance to go on a
hot summer day, but tbo party was
composed of old stagers, who knew
that a Lee county barbecue was
worth going mile# to sec. The din
ner was given by Capt. Ileatb to
his neighbor* and friends, in cele
bration of the flue crop* already as
sured and in prospect. lie could
well afford to do this on the strength
of his crop prospect alone. We had
the pleasure of a • idc over his plan
tation before dinner, and the sight
we saw was gratifying enough to
refresh ua after the long ride.
He ha* orer 700 acres of as One
cotton ns we ever saw, and bis corh
fields already linve an abundant liar-
vest. Without disasters, now «
foreseen, his cotton crop will be
large a# any ever raised on the place.
Goitigand returning by different
roads, we bad an opportunity of
seeing a great many crops, and we
can fairly say that the good farmers
of Loo have much cause to feel
cheerful over the outlook. The
smiling faces we saw at the barbe
cue reflected their good feelings and
thankfulness.
The dinner was elegant, and cm*
braced everything that a hungry
man could wish for. All kinds of
barbecued meats in great abund
ance, with pies, cakes, custards,
coffee, lemonade, and everything
nice. The Albany party did full
justice to the feast, ami did good ser
vice in relieving the loaded tablcsso
that they might not break down.
After dinner a hard rain came up,
and poured in torrents for several
hours, hut it nnlv drove the pleas
ure seeker* indoors, where dancing
was kept up unt.il 'ate in the after
noon, much to the enjoyment of our
crowd, and it was with great reluct
ance that we consented to come homo
at all.
The fai man of our crowd was
foremost in tie giddy mazes, but
said: “By gum, hoys, don’t give me
away *t home.”
Among the pleasant friends we
met were Messrs. John and Alex
Forrester, Alex Duhcdii. W. B. Paul
and family, Joe Dcas, Joe Terry and
Souny Smith, of Leesburg, John
Hines and m.my others, besides the
prettiest young ladies in Lee coun
ty. The Albany crowd return many
thanks to Capt. Meath and other
friend* for a most enjoyable dav.
nr. Boats Agent Murphy Bite* to
Explain.
Editor yews and Advertiser:
A few daya ago yon mentioned the
fact that tlic papers down the road
were after Murpbr, the Mail Agent,
but you i.aid nothing as to what it
was about. Will you be kind enough
to publish the following, as tbo peo
ple might think I had committed
some great crime:
Th« Coffee Countv Gazette charg
ed tliat on Saturday, the 29tli ult.,
1 carelessly carried by their place
the Berrien County yews instead of
delivering them into the post office,
as I should, as I admitted that I hnd
them, which they could substantiate
by Col. Lastinger and also bv tho
Post Master at Pearson. Me further
states that Ibe paper# spoken
came back on the 3Iomlay following
from the east.
Now, the facts in the case arc
these. I never received any papers
at Alapaha for Pearson at all, and
never said so, hut on the contrary,
said if the papers spoken of did not
go into the office in the pouch I put
off there tliat I had never received
any for that place. In the next place,
Mr. W. B. Mooie came up on Mon
day. He Is ready to swear tliat lie
bandied no such papers on that day.
Again, Mr. Itoss went cast on that
day, and he says he carried the Ber
rien County News to Pearson him
self. Col. Lastingcr says that the
papers were sent out front his office
on Monday, and that if (he Berrien
County News came from the east
oil that day his subscribers got two
papers each for tliat week. The
Post Master of Pearson says that
there was hut one package of papers
came to his office.
Mr. Editor, these are the facts.
Let thc-public decide.
Itespcctfully,
John Mcbmiv.

HOW WAIH.EY DIED.
A clergyman, writing from Jeru
salem to the New York Christian
Advocate, ray#: #
"On Friday, Juno £(, I «vr the
strangc-i sight I ever witnessed in
my life in the funeral of the Creek
Patriarch, OrcMtliciw, ns nearly as I
can spell his name. Ii wa-at groat
funeral, ns ho was a great Ilian, being
sc**ond greatest Creek Patrimcli in
the world, ami second to non*- in
s lirilual authority. In a civil sense
t ic lVriarch of Constantinople is
greater.
“The Patriarch wa- injured by
falling from hi# horse, mol died al
ter lingering several week*. Seeing
ho many people passim? I<» and from
the Constantine Chut cli of the Greek
Convent, we went to see what wan
the mailer. Wc found tho deceased
Patriarch, clothed in tlic robos of
Ids office, silk and gold richly em
broidered, seated upon a throne lac
ing the alter. Although ho was
only 65 years of age, he looked very
venerable with liis long flowing
gray beard. He hud a golden crown
upon his boail, with enameled set
tings on four sides, representing the
Virgin, tho nativity, tbo resurrection
and ascension, and surmounted by an
elegant diamond cross. Ilis breast
was covered with golden crosses and
precious stones. He hnd a crozier
sceptre of gold and silver hairing
against tho throne, while In hi* right
hand was a Testament, and in his
left a picluro of the Virgin and
Child. Behind Jhc throne was stand
ing a priest reading continually in
Creek appropriate passages for the
dead. And from early morning till
5 o’clock in the evening a perfect
stream of people were passing hack
and forth, who would kneel, kiss the
Patriarch’s hand, then the Testa
ment which lie held in It, and after
wards cross themselves and
pass out. He was quite a rich
man beforo he became Pa
triarch, his fortune being 40,-
000 Napoleons. This fortune lie
divided among tlic poor, the cliurcli,
and his si»ter. He was buried the
Mine day lie died, and tho funeral
was quite a novel affair. Just be
fore the funeral a motley crowd of
Turks, Arabs, Bedouins, Nubians,
Jews, and representative* of almost
every iimginable costume, gathered
on Mount Zion. First in the proces
sion came a band of clarionets, then
a baml of brass instruments, playing
what I would consider a lively air,
and not the least novel was an enor-
mons bass drum. Following the
baud were quito a number of stu
dents, with very long hair, who were
preparing tor the priesthood; then
came the ordained priests, then the
Bishops, dressed in elegant clonks.
All, except the soldier# who follow
ed, carried caudle# draped with
black crape. After the soldier# came
Ibe Janissaries of all the Consuls,
and of the different convent#, in
what seemed to me very wild cos
tumes, something like our Ameri
can Indians. Then came Bishops
bearing a kind of lanlern9, and
crosses of silver and gold. An old
I nan, in a very go«geous dress, who,
: Is I was informed, was next to the
patriarch himself, was bearing the
deceased patriarch’s silver and gold
ceptre. Then came the body, in
full dress as I had seen it in the
morning, with tlic crowu on his
head, and seated on his throne, as if
he were alive. Tlic procession made
a strange impression upon my mind,
as I watched it slowly move towards
the Zion gate, and listened to the
weird chanting of the priests. He
was buried in a sitting posture,
along with about two bushels of in
cense and niyrth.’^
The Death Scene Belated.
Allauta Post-Appeal.
Capt. W. U. Itaoul, tho son-in-law
of Mr. Wadlcy, gave the Posl-Ap-
Appeal wan some interesting and
hitherto unpublished particulars of
hi* last hour*. When the deceased
left lor the North he visited New
York, wlieic lie consulted a l)r.
Clarke. The latter prescribed for
him and •ligumiseri liis disease as
dropsy of the thorax or chest. He
apprehended no immediate danger
and gave Id* patient leave to travel.
Mr. Wodlc. proceeded to liis birth-

There he remained » week.
On Thursday lost he ale dinner at
4 o’clock, and'kftcrward* sat on the
veranda reading a newspaper. John
E. Ward, of New York. Geo. S.
Owens, and W. II. Daniels, of Sa
vannah, passed. They invited 1dm to
take a walk with them. Ho replied,
thauking them for the courtesy, that
he had promised to lukc u little
■roinenade with Ids wife. They
oked him about this uxorious atten
tion. He passed tho matter off in a
ilcaaaut laugldng maunor,'and the

a remarkable manner, the Jick states

to leave 111* room owing to weakness
or the condition of the weal tier, and
his feebleness is undoubtedly grow
ing greater daily. Hu*, there were
still no indications of the eminence
of the end ufitil to-day.
The sufferer is very feeble to-day.
When Senator and Mrs. Brown
called to see him ha was uiiablo to
do more than gaze wistfully into
their faces. His last resort for coni-
muulcating his words—writing—
has been abandoned from sheer
weakness. He has uot written for
three days now, and his last intelli
gible intercourse with the world has
probably ceased.
The tedkus length of this distress
ing death-bed scene has not tired the
friends of tho sufferer. Those of
them who are near him grow ten

distant friends flood his table with
llicir letters and minis of condolence
and suggestion.

A distinguished American, Gen

arrived in Paris. In an interview
with it friend just before railing for

the South now as n liner field for leg

Tlic attraction of the Sooth, uh pres

no one more worthy of respect and

to have presented the claims of llie

Dr. S. II. Tyntr, Jr, entertained
last evening at dinner, at the New

one of the leaders of the new South,
who is now devoting himself to the

1 am tberoforo constrained to ask
if the nominee of the Republican
Slate convention, James Longetrcct,
bus been withdrawn, and if you have
been substituted in his place? That
paper speaks of a convention
of “bolters,’’ comprised, as it
asserts, “or a few gentlemen
and representatives of every other
grade of society, from the ex-convict
down,to the strolling vagabond from
Skowbegan/' which was opciicd
with prayer (so it affirm*) “by a con
vict lately discharged from the Geor
gia penitentiary and wound up by
puttiisg out a bastard ticket, to beset
down upon by honest Repub
licans.” but it docs not {inform
the public who were the nominess
of tliat convention. While I do uot
adopt ns my own, nor have I the
heart to approve the very harsh anti
acrimonious language or that paper
against “the oolters,” yet, I am forc
ed to the conclusion, you arc one of
tlic nominees of that body of. men
alluded to In said paper, “who, to
save themselves from utter rout, bol t-
ed the convention and organized
another body,” and placed in
nomination that “bastard ticket" in
opposition to the one nominated by
the “Republican State Convention’’
on which I find tho iiniuo “James
Longstrect” for “Congrestman-at-
largc.” I would, therefore, respect
fully but kindly suggest, if these
fact# a# stated by the organ of tlic
Republican party he true, (and it
docs not become uic to deny them)
that you are opposing James Long-
strcct for Congressman-at-large and
not myself, and that you should have
addressed your communication to
him, asking him tocanvnBs with you
before the people of Georgiu, the
claims of the candidates of these re
spective conventions, and. that if lie
consent* to the arrangement, 1 know
volt will agree with me ihat ft would
be exceedingly unbecoming In me to

We can make as many and as fine

August or September, they would
probably mature by cold worn Iter
and keep all winter.
There i* another way for you to
try, which is raising n second crop
from same seed. When you take
up ilie first crop, cut some of them
in pieces of one to two eye* enrli.
When the cut surface dries, spread
litem lo a cool cellar or under a t-hed,
cover with straw ami keep this
damp for about a week. The eye*
will then begin to swell, nml they
arc ready to plnii!. If these suc
ceed in your country ns they do
iiere, you «^tn keep the product
through winter, and they will make
' the best seed for the next spring.
ed by those he liest loves, Is about to
discard an earthly tabernacle and put
on garments of .immortality. It was
notour intention to disturb Mr. Hill or
even to sec hint. Wc simply desired
to have him know that a call had been
made and reverential message# left.
Both of us had seen tlic glorious Ben
Hill in the dry# of Ills might and maj
esty, and both wished to remember
biin always as lie loomed up gigantlcal-
‘ y and god-like hi the past, when all was
. ictory, health and vitality. But when
the Senator understood w ho Ills callers
were, lie signified a wish to sec them.
By the devoted wife wc were ushered
Into the presence of our friend, and It
was a great shock to see him so pros
trate, so changed, so druadly mute, so
unsjieakablv afflicted. The brow was
a radiant dome of thought. It glowed
with supernal beauty. The large blue
eyes spoke a recognition that the tongue
could no longer fashion. Tears gather
ed In them as he looked, with almost
unearthly fixedness upon us, as if tlic
brilliant triumphs of Uic Confederate
Senate and the matchless career on the
Federal arena hail met in the presence
of the oldcrand younger man who stowl
before him. Hi# face lutd grown much
thinner and whiter. The nose had be
come sharp and pinched. Tlic terrible
chasm in Hie right side of the throat ami
. aw, hidden by cotton wadding and
' xuidagcs, had shruken his lower fea
tures, which were more distorted by an
abnormal swelling of the under lip.
'Jills gave the whole countenance an air
of stem though resigned sadness. Uis
thin hands lay upon the counterpane
bethne* helplessly, and then again they
were raised with Ids old executive ges
ture to the lace or else motioning tor
Ids tablet and pencil for Hie purpose of
communicating au errant thought, lie
took us by the hand, and the rc-
|>eatcd pressure told us telegraphical
ly from heart to heart all that lie would
have so gladly siMikcu. Twice he
wrote upon Ids tablet, -conveying the
first time what lie hnplly deemed to lie
Ids real condition* ’Hie second writ
ing was to assure us that he could
Hear well, although he could not ar
ticulate, and that it did not disturb but:
rather pleased him to listen to what
was said. We kept one sheet of
the manuscript, which is still lioldly
written. Other expressions of Ids in
tlds form were shown ns by .Mrs. llill,
who finds it hard to emulate the jicr-
fect resignation of her great, loving
and stricken husliaml. In one of these
comuuudraUou* -Mr. Hill testifies to
Ids utter faith in Christ Crucified, and
the firm hope he has that as tlic sin
less Redeemer suffered for sinful man,
so all cliastcuiugs should be Imrue in
the same spirit for the same etui, and
that a* God Is most wise, the trials
sent upon His children must be accept
ed with the wisdom of endurance nnlo
the last. In another communication,
lie reason# out the burial, resnrection
and the life from a grain of coni tliat
must be enkindled in onler to spring
forth hi symmetry, fndt and licauty
So lie, reposing with child-like trust ii
the Eternal Sower, will go to dust ami
then i-merge Into everlasting light with
strength, comeliness . and usefulno -
spiritualized and renewed. And
