A WILDMAN.
Last Tuesday while Mr. Marion
Tatum and Fate Quinton were out
sheep hunting in the ‘‘Sitton
Gulf” their attention was attracted
by a series of unearthly sounds
proceeding from a rocky ledge
some hundred yards from w’here
they had stopped in amazement
and fright, Mr. Quinton being
the most adventerous of the two,
proposed an investigation, which
was relunctantly agreed to by Mr.
Tatum. After advancing cautious
ly to within twenty paces of the
heart rending screames they be
held a sight which chilled their
blood and caused the hair of their
heads to “stand on end;” never
did man gaze upon a more harrow
ing sight than that they now faced,
sitting on a projecting stone near
the verge of the cliff sat a man—if
such it might be called, w’ith the
skin of a hog drawn loosely around
his lower limbs, savage fashion.
While the body was covered with
a coat of course sandy about
' an inch long, the beard of his face
was shaggy and long, and the hair
of his head was long and unkempt
and matted, his long sharp teetn
knnwing viciously upon a piece of
putred meat of some sort —
this was the spectacle which two
brave men were compelled to face,
hut only for a few moments since
the being before them had seemed
to scent their presence and was
away in a few slight bounds among
the rocks and disappeared from
their sight after two or three pierc
ing cries left his beholders al
most petrified in their position.
No one knows from whence the
wild man ;comes. and this is the
first time he has been seen in this
neighborhood, althoush a report of
his presence was received from
Walker county some two weeks
ago, yet our citizens couid not give
credience to such an unnatural
thing, but when two of the most
respectable and concencious men
of “our county arc witnesses we
would almost believe in ghosts
should they claim to have seen one
We are to believe beyond a doubt
of the exigence of a wild man in
community, whether the world ac
cepts our story or not.
THE BEAUTIES OF JOUR
NALISM.
Why should the editor of a
country paper ever be so wicked as
to contein;daw suieide? What is
it to him if his county is prosper
ous or in sunk into the mire of ev
erlasting poverty. He stills lias
the consolation of knowing that he
can say just what he wishes, and
that it will gain more or less pub
licity—probably less. If the edi
tor has a fine bouncing boy at his
house he can extend congratula
tions to himself, and if it be a girl
he need not mention the fac t at all
just as it suits his taste, ile may
have infinite trouble and experi
ence all the torments of perdition
with his wayward Devil, and on
press day may realize that he has
not only the Devil to contend with
but itself in blunders of his
refractory compositor, vet in all
this there is a certain sweetness t 0
remind him of his duly to forgive
and choke back the “cuss words”
which an irreverent man would be
likely to utter, and he goes on with
the correction of the innumerable
typographical errors he sees before
him. Occasional}/ lie will roe five
an extra large potatoo or cabbage
as the gift from some worthy pat
ron who may have been struck
with the editors hungry look, and
this compassion for suffering hu
manity prompts him to look about
for something ho does not need
which he very proudly offers and in
turn receives a complimenta-iy lo
cal notice. All of these things are
bracing to the editors nerves and
appetite, and before lying down at
night he incorporates into hismod
eet prayer, “peace on earth and
good will to all men,” Of course
an editor does not make much
money, hut at the same time he is
engaged in a business in which he
may put in his few spare dollars
and know that his country gets the
benefits. Oh, who would not be an
editor —a country editor. _
