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.

E. Key & Cos., Harmony Grove, 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. Wo have no brings to build, an l the exeavation will be ex remely light Educational. Agricultural And Mining New*- with ihe exception of three or io>/ in’W, and that would not tie heavy.

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. NO. s<>.
