ao’e Ccunty Gazette. RISING PAWN, GEORGIA. 1 * - , -| , |H amm rTo LaFayeHe and ISatk, f It is rather a laige undertaking to yoss Lookout mountain, when the mer it ry stands up in the nineties, but neces ity is not only the mother of invention, .ut slie is also the parent of energy in a reat measure. So in became very nec tary that We cross this “pre-eminence, jiui 12plus 2 when sol seemed to he doing ns level host to melt all things tenes r c rial* in conmpuny with a discipleof Es ulapius also a student of Elaeksteuo, Vlioseevery day name is Dr. Lumpkin, tightened the leathern straps on the Sag’s spinal column, and shoved out lor baFayette. Passing the furnace, the with his whiskers said if Von make it across the mountain this af ternoon, you are in posossion of a better horse than I^think you are.” Rut at this we were not discouraged. And driving on we soon caiiie to the base of ‘the mountain. Here we met the good {Samaritan, in the person of Rill Eoat bnan, who offered us his large balaam to quill us up the mountain, so in a twink ling we took Mollie out of the buggy and tied in the long-eared stock, and ho 'walked up the mountain with that buggy and two men just like there was nothing tied to him. We whirled on over the top of the mountain culling our oxygen with more freedom. We noticed the finest oats we ever saw raised on the V'" mountain. The water is getting very low on the mountain, and the stock arc crowding the springs to get water, but the grass looks remarkable well for the dry weather, At gri/.ly twilight we were at LaFayctte save about ten miles, stopped all night with t\w 1 of Mr. Milch Coulter. Sunday at ten o’clock we drove into the quiet little village of LaFayettc. Here we received the liotpitality of Mr. Hugh Lumpkin and fiis kind mother. At night we preached in the Methodist church. LaFavette is a very pleasant little village, and we saw some very handsome buildings embowered wif h luxuriant ev ergreen and flowers of every variety, and shaded by beautiful and stately locus trees; which were planted in 1825. The people seemed kind and inteligent "We had tl:e pleasure of a vi.sit to the house of Rro. Me Han, and was Wei! pleased with his family. Mr. Edgar Me llan, the proprietor of the Messengoi is a genial, clever, and indiistriom; young man, and deserves much credit for his enterprise. Rro. A. Median is not hurt with industry, hut is a wholesouled Rap tist and makes a good editor. The Mes senger is a good paper, and the people </l Walker to appreciate it enough to give it a lively support. Monday morning we drove out for home, and though it was very hot we made good time, and while yet the sen hung high up in the sky we drove into Rising Fawn. It may bo interesting to some of our readers who hove friends and relatives in Texas, to hear what I have to say about the “Star State Jn the first place, I think its the best place in.the world for a poor man; and when rich men go there they never return, which proves it is the best place lor them also, I have read letters saying “poor men bad better stay at borne;” this is all talk. Lot Killian (as some of oui readers re member) left here a few months since with just enough money to get himsell and family to Fort Worth; L saw him in Fort Worth, and he told me that lie ], a d bought two good cows, a horse, and thought his cotton crop would huv him a fnnn this fall. If he had remained in the “old country"’ (as Texans call it) he w< u cl nevtv have had even one c w. (food men get from 12|o 13 dollars ■pci litomli for work or. the farm, take care of stock ivc. If any class of men ought to slny away from Texas, it is tlio professional man, as cveiy oilier one yon meet is a professional man. The couniiy west of l oit is being settled up very rapidly. Seve’al hundred hands are engaged at work on the new road between Fort Worth and Weatherford over which they propose to have trains running by September next. Those western trains are always crowd ed with passengers, but 1 was informed by one of their conductors that at least half of the travel was free; there-fore we perceive at once the generosity that exists in the west. Ry the aid of our friend dim Sutton, Passenger agent in Chottanooga, we were kindly furnished with passes to Fort Worth and return, for which we ate under many obligations. Well, you have all heard oft.he“oow Roys;” a heavy set of boys they are too! If one of them were to come out here with his uniform on, and riding one of those duck-legged ponies, and with those big white handle pistols bucketed on him, our boys would eat him alive, though in Texas you find very lew men that can rakeup courage enough to tackle ou3 of ’em. They wear leather pants, big spurs and a big hat. Fanners living on the prairie usually raise two crops on the same piece ol g.iound in one season. When I got to Fort Worth they had thrashed wheat, and had planted part of the stubble and in ottuian l part in corn, aW of which was looking well when 1 left. While there I had the pleasure ol meeting Mr. Elev Austin, who is well kowu here. He insisted on my going out home with him, but being a little “home sick” I was compelled to decline. Mr. A. is a jovial old gentleman. Said he was going to send ns ten subs, for the Gazette; they have not yet arrived We saw some of their “jack Habits.” Their eais are long enough to make sad dle skirts. They are white and very pretty. If Dave Forester was to see one oil Lookout, mountain lie would’nt come home till his face would be a rod long. I guess 1 have said enough about Tex . for this time hut I’ll say # this: I believe a man can make ss*there while lie can make one here. D. M. C. Tlie Familv Wagon* How many a man’s life has centered ) .-out the wogon ! Asa child, lie rides as a treat, to the hay-field with 1 1 is father; as a lad, he walks beside the leader, and gets the first idea of the great world when they v isit the market town; as a man, he takes command and pilots the ship for many a long, long year. When he marries, the wagon, lent for his own use, brings home his furniture. After a while his own chil dren go l’ora ride in, and play in it when stationary in the shed. In the painful ending, the wagon carries the weak-kneed old man in pity to and lrom the old town for his weekly store of goods, or mayhap for his weekly dole of that staff of life, his aged teeth can hirdly grind. And msnv a plain coffin has the old wagon ca rie l to the distant church vard on the sicl 3of the hill. It is a cold spot, as life, t a), was cold and hard ; yet, in the spring the daises will come, and the thrushes will sing on the hough! The senate has n worrying over a bill to prevent the linger furnishing of intoxicating liquors within two miles of elections. . The veas and nays were called-for on t! c bill offered by lloii.M. A, E. Tatum, of this county, to abolish the state ng riculural bureau, with the following re sult, Of) yeas and 82 nays. Pending this pill Mr. Livingston made these re marks ; “Dade >vas a large state and it would take a man a longtime to catch ambit in it, but she sent her trade to Tennessee, what legislatures and the constitutional convention had in vain endeavored to do, Dade had better let alone.” The Gonst it ut ion of yesterday has ! this to say ; “Mr. Tatum, of Dade, the author of the hill, instead of closing the debate himself, yielded his lime to Mi ]Miller, of Houston, and Mr. King oi ,tdo\d. We wilt give a fuller accotin; of of the proceedings ol the legislature next week. A Washsngton corspon.dent, writing t 0 the Cincinnati Commercial,higi medical authority there, iue!u liniment hem of the National Hoard of Health who have given the matter constant an careful attention, and who are iu<!\ in formed by medical experts traveling ) the South, are of the opinion that 1 ’ Southern States are to escape a visitation of the fever this summer. Does Her Own Work. Docs she ? What of it. ? Is it a dis grace ? Is she any the less a true woman less worthy of respect than she who sits idle in clothes, vain of fingers that never labor ? “Does her own work.”— We listened to this sneer a few days ago and the tone in which it was uttered be tokens a narrow ignoble mind, better fitted for any place than a country whose institutions rests on honorable labor as one of the chief corner stones. It evinced a false idea of true womanhood, of no bility. It showed the detestable spiiit of case, of rank, which a certain class try to establish—a caste whose sole foun dation is money, Position in their rank is bought with gold, and each additional dollar is another round in the ladder by which elevation is gained. moral Character. There is nothing which adds so much to the beauty and power <f man, as a good moral character. It is bis wealth —his influence —his life. It dignifies him in every station, exalts him in ev ery condition, and gloryfies him at every period of life. Such a character is more to be desired than every tiling on earth, It makes a man free and independent No servile tool, croaking sycophant, or treacherous honor-seeker ever bore such a character. The pure joys of truth and righteousness never spring in such a person. If young men but knew how much character would dignify and exalt them, how glorious it would make their prospects, even in this life never should we find them yielding to tlie groveling and base born purposes of the vicious. Yellow Fever. The latest news is that the yellow fe ver panic in Memphis has subsided. It is thought by those who ought to know something about it, that there will not be much in f Memphis this year, and none in Chattanooga. Rut there is one thing that we are compelled to notice, and that is, the course the and imes took last year, and the one taken by that paper ibis year. Last year if there was any vil liage or town quarentined against the yellow fever, the Times was tnc first to publish it as being-filled with selfish-, inh umiuypeotde. bus year Chattau- rWlav strict quaren tine around the city, alnl say thus far shall thou come and no farther.
