by an exodus of the negroes, but
owing to the fact that every year the
area .of cultivated lands is increas
ing. The blacks of Oglethorpe are
working very, well and are contented
and prosperous. xMany of them have
bought and paid for good farms of
their own, and are making and sav
ing money. It is a noticeable fact
that so soon as a negro owns a piece
of land of his own, he at once be
comes a better citizen, and generally
votes a democratic ticket. TLe white
people encourage the darkeys lo buy
farms, and sell them land on easy
terms. You never hear of a negro
who has bought and paid for a home
getting into trouble. It is only the
thriftless vagabonds that stir up
strife. The farmers of Oglethorpe
county arc not in favor of moving
the negroes from the country. They
believe this race to be the best labor
the South can possibly get. aDd if
politicians will let him alone, be will
bel against such an outrage. They
demand that the Constitution be
changed as to give to each race the
money it pays into the treasury.
The people around Stevens Acad
emy arc anxious to employ sgood
teacher, and will get up a large and
paying school. They have a nice,
building, and there is not a better
settlement in the Slate,
desiring a first-class school should
