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 address Mr. C. A. Stevens, Sandy Cross, Oglethorpe county, Ga.
