A local disturbance among the
darkies took place last week, and
for the lime being, threatened lo
add serious complications to the
race problem.
The darkies around town have
always been peaceable and hard
working, and it has been a rare
Ihing to hear of trouble or disturb
anc© 011 their account, until one
dusky damsel sporting the eupho
nious aognomen of *Miss Jesse
Willingham,’ came her© from Har
mony Grove, and stopped with her
‘Cousin Tom Sanders.’ Her charms
were too much for Tom, In some
way she allienated Tom’s affections
from his wife, and then the trouble
commeneed, which culminated in a
fisticuff fight, anti afterwards in a
sculll® in which sticks and rocks
were used, and in which Jesse and
Tom’s wife were the principal ac
tors, Jess# being tha victor—Tom’s
better half suffering from the ef
fect of several sever licks. On Wed
nesday morning Tom’s wife earn©
to town and procured a warrant for
Jesse, charging her with assault
and battery. After due investiga

That Dummy Lino from hero to
Lula! Let us have it! r J ho cost, is
a mere triliie to the good! Wake
up from the backwoods’ slumbers
of grandfathers and greatgrand
fathers. If wo live to be recogniz
ed, W 9 must keep up with a world
ot progress. Our grandfathers and
greaf-graadtathers’ customs were,
in earlier days fo live ninety and
an hundred years m leg cabbins,
in tho then wild and unsettled in
terior woods and swamps of this
couwtiy and use the old Hint lock
muskel in killing and trapping the
red man/ the beaver, the otter and
other game were their mode of liv
ing. They would start in the ear
ly fall by water in a dug-out a dis
tance of a thousand miles to souse
city to sell their skins, furs, etc. It
would tike them six months to go
the round trip. They could afford
it; they had an hundred years to
live in without opposition. We, of
this progressive age, have scarcely
half tXo time to live in, with plen
ty of opposition, and ta spare. We
can’t afford to live in log hills, there
are nane; w@ hive no beavers or
otters, we have no waters, no dug
outs, we don’t want them; our lives
are too short to afford us these pleas
ures, if wa had, the progressive
world of this day, would laugh us
to sham©! We have railroads like
network throughout tho country,
And steamboats and steamships,
which cut our veterans’ time down
tram years and months lo hours
and minutes, ay! seconds. With
all this vast improvement and pro •
grass looking us in the face, how
can we longer slumber? \Y r e are
now in excess of Rip Van Winkle.
He only slpt 20 years; we have
slept 40 and more! Wake up! Let
us have a Dummy Line from He
mer to Lula.
New Railroad Enterprise.
I notice in Sunday’s Constitu
tion an estimate tor anew railroad
from Narcross to Gumming, a dis
tance of 21 mil©3, including exca
vation, drain-pipes, trestling, bor
row, and a bridge across the Ohut
taheocha river. TbeestimUe is bas
ed ujon a preliminary survey made by
Mr. Henry Collier, a eivil engineer of
Atlanta, figured on a road-bed 14 feet
wide and aa embankt-sent 12 feet wide,
which would be sufficient tor a broad
guage road. The wtal cost i@ placed
at $32 047, including Chattanoookee
biidge at a cost ot SI‘J,OOO.
Now, from this e.-tiuaaie let as make
a rough at the cost of g-ating
and trestling a road bed from Ilosuer
to Lula, a distance o 12 miles
Mr. Collier places toe eitm its for
giading at something less th<u 800
pir tni e, and it is through a rougrer
country than ours, but say 12 miles at
BUO dollars per mile, 9.600 dollars,
He kiSKimates for 192,000 feet oftrest
1 ng (board measure) at 22 dollars per
tbOaaßd, but it will not require mors
than one sixth of that amount for ocr
road, or about 32,000 feet—say 800
dollars; the barrows at 3JO dollars,
and the drain pipes at 300 dollars, or
a total oi 10,700. lam not seq laim
ed, ws you know, with lailroad work,
but 1 nave long b?eu c nviuced that
the entire road bed can be completed
for less than 12 000 doll us.

The Cure for Uosip.
What is the cure for gossip? Simply
oal ure. There is a great deal of gos
sip that has no mal gaily in it. aooi
Matured people talk about their neigh
bus because, and only because they
have nothing else t • talk about. As
we write, there cumn to. a picture
of a family of lalie.. We have seen
them at home, we nave met them iu
galleries of art, we have caught glimp
ses of them going fr irn a bo; k store or
library, with a fresh volume iu their
hands. When worn-et them they are
full of what they hare seen aud read.
They are brimming ud h questions.
One topio of conversation is dropped
only totrive place t > anm her, in which
they are iu'etested. We have left. them
after a delightful ho >r, stimulated and
refreshed, and during the wnoio hour
not a neighbor’s gann.'nr, rr. soiled
by so rntieh as a touch. They had
6ome;hißg to ttiSt about. They knew
something tnd wanted to know more.
They could listen at well as they could
talk. To apeak freely of a neighbor’s
doings aud belonging t would have
seemsd au impertiaivca io tnoaa, and
of course an impropriety. They had
no temptaii>n to goss p, oecause the
doings of riiir ueigh tors forma t a sub
ject very much less interesting than
those which grew oat of tueir knowl
edge and their caifnre.
And this teiis the whole story. The
c >tihrinjd gossip is always either ma
in i us or ign rrant Tee one variety
ne ds a change ol heart, and the other
a ebaage oi pasture, a ws.p is alwri s
a persauai confession sir her oi’ malice
or imbecility, and the young should
not only shnu it, but by most thor
ough culture, reliova themselves from
all temptation to iudalge u it. it in
low, frivolous, aud too ortea a dirtr
bueiDOjis, There are couutrt neighbor
hoods iu which it rages like & pest.
Churches are split in pieces by it.
Neighbors are made enemies by it for
life. Iu many persons it degenerates
i ito a cbinic di-ease, which is pra;*
ticaliy incurable. Lit the young cure
it while they may. — [Scribner.
