Mr. .1. If. Paulk says Air. .1. L.
Mixon is- right about ground peas
drawing varmints. He hauled home
a sack of seed ground peas the other
day, and he thinks the possums
smelled them as lie passed along
and followed him home, for that
night he killed a possum not in his
mark, just after the “varmint” had
killed a turkey hen and sucked a
Best of eggs. Next night, armed
to the teeth, he charged a swarm of
them in his horse lot and stayed
them right and left. Some of them
were in Jim Henderson’s mark,
others in Jim Paulk’s, and so on,
showing that they followed him
nearly from town. Those who miss
their possums will now understand
about the calamity that overtook
them.
ELDER MATTHEW SIKES,
That Old Pot.
Editor Dispatch : When Unole
Sam had about (iuisbod the work of
(hoisting the stars and stripes over
her two newly acquired “hemi-
Ispheres” and whipping the- insur¬
gents into “fraternal union,.”' the
nex± thing- in. onder was k> send a
.posse of his subs down into Dodge
county on huab of am old 1 pot. For
jso had- his majesty been informed
that a certain old pot had been
guilty of robbing the hogs of the
skimmings taken from the syrup
kettles, that the cry of the hungry
swine had gone up against the said
pot, and further, that it had* con¬
verted said slop into a Christmas
dram in violation of the revenue
laws of these United States and det-
rimentaJ to the peace , dignity and
|*good order of the community. A
certain witness disposed and said
that, be beiiig on a birtit hunt, to-
wit, two'days before Christmas, he
did shoot- a- certain, flying bird which
fell in a thicket; that when his gun
fired, a voice issued from the thicket
imploring,- him to “not shoot this
way.” And when the went into the
thicket in search for his bird, behold
he espied an old “wash pot,’ - having
certain fixtures . and accoutrements
thereto attached, and issuing there¬
from was a very small stream of very
poor whiskey, of which; said* witness
did theii and there driiik until he
was “dog drunk,” and that he was
the recipient of numerous drinks of
the same drug at sundry times
thereafter,, and that he felt in duty
bound to reciprocate Ahis kindness
by keeping the matter profoundly
secret. But it came to pass in pro¬
cess, of time that a “fracus” occur¬
red between the said parties; in
which the manufacturer of said drug
.dM aur3c,. vilify and ins-alt said* wit¬
ness and straightly threatened to do
great violence to his oorporosity ;•
Whereupon, said' witness did
judge that his duty to reciprocate
kindness did forever cease—that it
now became his duty as a good cit>
zen to punish his enemy by. report¬
ing all violations-of the law by him,
which things the said witness did.
Then Uncle- Samuel, as aforesaid,
did send his boys- down t,o investi¬
gate, and after making a few tracks
around the old pot and enjoying a
rich blessing ( ?) from the wife of
said manufacturer, proceeded to
give him and said witness a free ride
tO Macon, where he entertained
them kindly for tw-enty-four hours,
and when they took their leave, he
ave t- hem a pressing solicitation to
visit him again soon, when he hoped
tto 1 be in shape to entertain them
longer;
Well,- Uncle Samuel must bundle
some little smutty things as well as
great ones. While-he'itrlioUling the
reins of government' over this broad
commonwealth and carrying on
commerce with the world, be must
also keep one eye on the old wash
pots.
I give this little matter to your
reader^ for the lesson that is in it,
viz:
If you wish to convert your shim¬
mings into a Christmas dram, you
had better be sly about it, because
Uncle . Sam is keen on the scent of
whiskey a id is- hard to fool. His
detectives are mostly old- “moon-
shiners” aii'd know exactly how to
hunt. A rn'an A a dune'© that trusts
his violations of la-vt in the hands of
any man. Nine-tenths of the people
will give you away is they get mad
with you. But a man that will
drink another’s whiskey for months
and then report him for making it,
should not be allowed to testify in
court, nor would I put much confi¬
dence in his testimony, for it will
generally appear that his object is
more to take revenge on his enemy
than to protect the law.

li'i 1 of .Mi*, ii nil .M i>. Wiley K. Whitley, died
March tKIlll.
Gan it he that sl^e is dead, our
lovely, sweet young cousin? Has
she left her home and little friends
and good school teacher? Did
father, mother, sister and brothers
jhavc to bid her a last farewell, their
little daughter and sister whom they
[ill loved so tenderly?
All, yes, ’tis sad, and yet ’tis true.
The sweet, fragrant flower is broken..
She was given you by her heavenly
Father, and by JHbs loving hand was.
taken.. We- think it hard to give
her up.. We almost felt like she
was innrs—almost forgot she was
only loaned, and belonged to a
higher Power.
Loved ones, grieve not for her.
God Jins carried her to heaven.
'Time is swiftly rolling past—you
will not lye long from her riven.
’Tis vain to wish her back again, to
suffer, grieve and sorrow ; you will,
not be separated long — perhaps
’twill be-only tomorrow. • Then lift
up your heads in gladness, fail
Cousin Mollio is; in heaven. God
has a purpose,, wise,, unknown to us,
in calling her so early. It may bo
1 le knew her to be too pure and good
to battle with life's dangers. Then
to God’s will' be resigned, and ere
king you will meet her in heaven.
