B. Austin. Mr, Austin, your questions am childish and arenotworthy of not ice but as it is an established rule with the editor of The Times to give all a bearing we do so. However this is the first time a jackass 1143 ever had the Dpportunityto bray through our columns. Your neighbors Mr. Austin are our informers, and their words are not to tie impeached by mep of your and Jones’ stripe. William Jones DID whip his poor qld mother and you daye not deny it I And you are upholding him, The citizens of the county should not countenance any rp&n that shields a scoundrel like William Jones who resides at S, B. Austin’s! Jones is a very honest man is he? fts strange that no one else knows it but S. B. Austin, Hell is too good for Jopes and you know it! Mr. Austin vou should he ashamed of yourself for defending Jones and you should in the fpture keep yourself from among your fellqw citizens} If we have damaged the pharac ter of Japes he can resort to the law and get damage. And we dare him to do it! If he does we will see if Captain Reese can’t have the satisfaction of using his strap on him- We cquld stand by and see it wefl done, and we belioye it would do the captain good to get at this mother-beator. We presume that it will ho fqpnd out yet that The Times dpes not publish accounts of occurrences without first getting the facts to back its assertions.

THEIR SNOW WHITE WING? OX WHICH TIIMY WILL PLY TO GLORY. And Without Which They Are A Sharp Making M.vnej 04 the lennranvr of His Rupectl* tloiisT'V!ln%ys„lTi>gin*j’t’hem 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, iug wings, on which he guaranteed the trip io glory could be safely made. His scheme is to ahow the dark, ics a picture of the wings and 001. 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 wid,” said an old woman of tbfl fourth ward to the schemer. “De debbil pd blow his brefT at me an swinge all the feddem off fore I got high as de top er de 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 |an tees _them to stand tfie fiery bre»th of obi «atan when he flies hither ar. * t her through the air 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. ing summer days, and that she 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. The nanio of the schemer, as stated above could not he learned, hut there will doubtless bs some very disappointed darkies who will he out just a quarter when tho res. crreetion morning fails to come, One ftioro Clmwoc, Krom The Aritzonia Kicker. Lillv Dobson, proprietor of the Blue Front saloon ami gambling house, was the first subscriber to the Kicker. He encouraged up and occasionally lent us money, «rd opr gratitude has prevented us from drawing public attention to this pen of iniquity. We can not promise to hold off much longer, We shall give him one more chance to reform the and if he doesn’t improve it we shall give him three or four columns per week of the hotest kind of lan guage.

Why not be polite and courteous to every one you meet? These com. mdditie;;, though rare are. exceed ingly cheap; indeed they cost nothing, save a little exercise of brain and musoel, Don’t look sour, gentlemen, be cause Uncle Sam’s “Williams” do ’fc grow on trees, Let smiles disipate 1 he frowns and irradiate the counter nance, for tlioy are the sunshine of social life. A western paper supplicates this ‘‘Toll me. ye angelic hosts, ye mes senger of love, shullewindla printers here below, have no rednss abos'e?” The angles flappd their wings and said. “To you a hope in given, delin quents on a printers hook can never enter houven,” A newspaper and a newspaper editor that people don’t talk about, and sometimes abuse are rather poor concerns, The men and bus iness that an editor gometimes feel it a duty to defend, at a risk of making enemies of another class, are often the wry first to show their ingratitude, The editor who expects to receive much charity or gratitude will poon find out hia mistake ; hut he should go on and say and do what, he conscientiously think# right, without regard to frowns or smile, The Atlanta Constitution says there is no agency that can do so. much foi a town or city as an earnest liberal newspaper that leads the way to progress. The money that a merchant puts in his home paper brings him a better and broader return than the mere advertise ments of his ware. A local newspaper that works unintermittingly all through the year for a city, anp sees a traveling psiater comes along, who cuts ten cants in prices and takes orders X from those business men who ought to feel kindly enoguh toward it or eztend patronage feels like the old family phisician who has been turned off without any excuse or explination.

The Alabama Chautauqua which is to be held at Fort Payne, ip that State, will be made memorable by a odebate between Secretary of State, James G. Blaine, and Sena tor Morgan of Alabama, Tho Plumed Knight will defend the Republican doctrine, pure and simple, of protection; and Sana tor Morgan will advocate, as he 30 often and so eloquently* done be fore, the pure and undeliled policy of tariff revision, The debate will take place Sep tember lOthof this year, It will he the piece de resistance and the greatest feature of the Alabama Chautauqua, Extensive prepera-> tions have been made by the direc tors of the Chautauqua to have a large audienoe to listen to this de bate, whnhwili be, in all probabil ity, the most able clash of intellect and the keep words of parliament ary discussion that will have taken place in the South.
