Mr, Austin, your questions am

the editor of The Times to give all
a bearing we do so. However this

And you are upholding him,
The citizens of the county should
not countenance any rp&n that

Jones who resides at S, B. Austin’s!
Jones is a very honest man is he?
fts strange that no one else knows

Hell is too good for Jopes and

Mr. Austin vou should he

keep yourself from among your

TO PREPARE FOR THE RKSHttRCTION,
There are quite a number of
Atlanta darkies who are preparing
to leave this mundane sphere on
the 16th of August in grand atyl<\
They propose to mount straight
up to heaven on that day upon a
pair of Atlanta made snow white
wings.
Last week thorp was published
in the Journal a prediction made
by one of the numerous false
Christs in the country, tnthooffeot
that the world was coming to an
end on the loth of August, The
more ignorant negroes have boon
very much excited over tho pre
diction, and have been talking of
of little else sjnoe it was made,
Bnme sharp negro, whoso name
could not ho learned, lias been mak
ing money out of these ignorant,
superstitious people, He has been
going around to th"ir houses sell,

the trip io glory could be safely
made.
His scheme is to ahow the dark,

lect 25 cents from any one who
wished a pair. He would measure
the applicant for celestial bliss
take his name, and agree to deliver
the wings a week before final day,
.another quarter to be collected
then.
He sold quite a number of the
Wings over in the second ward and
then tackled the fourth ward,
among the morn ignorant inhabj.
tanta of wbiub his wi»F went like
hot cakes,
‘»I wan a nope or vour yarUdy
wings to fly homo ter my Jesus

fourth ward to the schemer.
“De debbil pd blow his brefT at
me an swinge all the feddem off

house, an den I’d come down more
saraer dan a broke wing pidgeon.
No sab, gimme de wiugs er faith,
Wats made wid yrar, and den I
know I’il get home all safe an
soun.”
The schemer is a good talker,
and has studied his subject thor
oughly.
He explaines to the negroes
among whom he is working that,
the Lord had comipisisonod him
to save his chosen ones among the
blacks be providing the with wings
to escape the fires that will de
stroy the world on the 16th,
The start for kiugdom come
will be made, he says, from the
now capitol when the legislature is
not in session.
He urges his patrons to be par
ticular how they fly and strike a
bee line upward, He urges them
to keep away from the direction of
Macon apd Chftttftnooga or else the
devil will surely gat them,
He says the wings are made by
a secret process handed down to
him from heaven when h Q was ip
a trance,
He guarantees them to stand
the burning sun that wifi arriso on
the resurectiop morn; he guaran-r
tees them to be proof against the
fires that will gwirl apd swish
around this old earth of ours on
the 16th of August, and he guar

scooping up the poor unfortunate
uarkiea who are not provided with
wings.
The wings am pore white, so
that rtafnn may not see the darkies
too readily when they make the
start ft r heaven.
One very ignorant old negro wo
| man informed the reporter that she
I had paid her quarter f<n a pair of
wings, and would have the other
quarter ready when the wings
were delivered,
She said the man who had taken
the order guaranteed that she
would reach a land of never end.

would spend an oternitv of bliss in
a palaih) huijt of watermelons and
frescoed with white handkerchiefs
and palmetto fans, while through
the center of the palace gurgled a
river of red lemonade that flowed
outward and onward through the
streets of pur« gold, and emptied
into tho sapphire sea.

stated above could not he learned,
