FRIDAY MRACH 23, 1894, PIONEER DAYS IN GEORGIA On wl at is now known as the Bo z i>lace, there lived nearly sixty years ago a family composed of husband wife and one little baby girl. The house wafi a simple Fg cabin surrounded by a plain fence, a fer tile valley heavily timbered etretchf d for several miles to the north east and to the south west and this was overlooked by a lofty hill. Several acres was then under cultivation. A 1 the Indians had not yet left for the far west, and were friendly to the whites and mingled freely with them, hunting or trading. Yet then as now not all Indians were good Indians. One morning tke gcod wife, who was a woman of large propotions and possessed the the strength of a man and more of courage, was alone with little Lizzie sleeping sweetly in her rude “crib,” as cradles were then called, but busy about her household affairs. Now and then, with a mothers ten der solicitude, she would tip-toe to the “crib’’ and look down with a smilo of ineffable sweetness on her sleeping first-born. Thus', with attention half-devided between the babe and household du ties, the hours flitted I"-, when sud denly a shadow fell across the floor Looking v.p the savage countenance and stalwart frame of an Indian met her startle d Seeing no on® near Ln’ a lone wo man an J er sleeping chib 1 , this no ble lord of the forest demanded something to eat. Being told nothing was cooked, he grew pompous and dominicnceringly demanded with significant taps np the rifle widen he cairieu slung loose ly aCxOBS his brawny shoulder, com manding in his guttr ral toned voKe: “Cook.” “I have other affairs to occupy me now,” replied the mother fearless lv. At this the savage lord grew more threatening, thirsting to cow her into submission . But little reckoned he with whom he had to deal. In that motherly bosom dwelt a soul as heroic and fearless as ever led Spar tan to victory; for as the savage brute advanced upon her she looked around her for some defensive weapon. The first thing her eyes rested upon was a huge “blacksnake” whip and seizing that with her right hard she quickly grasped the surprised savage with her left and down with all the force of her goed right arm fell the merci less lash. Again and again it rose and fell, and rose to fall again. Round and about the room the surprised and now terified Indian jumped and squirmed as faster and faster, harder and harder fell the pitiless blows, till almost exausted, she let go her hold and with the majesty of an outraged qi e?n she pointed wth the hand which •till held the whip to the open door uttering the one word: “Go!” A second invitation was net needed. The eowed wretch slunk out like the whipped cur hs was. A week later father and mother were standing in fn nt of their hum ble home, when suddenly there ap peared without a mcments warning a dark-ekined son of the forest who bore across his shoulder a recently slain deer. Depositing his game at the feet of the woman he said very humbly: “For white squaw, white squaw heep much brave; whip Big Bear like deb ble,” and turning was soon lost to sight in tke forest near by. The baby wl o lay in the cradle twenty - ight years afterward be came the mother of the writer. Fact. MYRICK’S TICKET. STEVENSON AND CRISP FOR 1896' It’s A GOOD TICXBT.

If there lives a more wouderoii s performer on the piano tl an M is® Mario Louise Bailey, then R‘>u.e has indeed a treat in store some where in the near future. Alisi Bailey was at Shorter Col lege last night, and for nearly two hours she held a large and most select audience, spell bound by the j perfection with whick she executed “a Fiat, major” and “B Flat major” and knocked all the musical stuf fin outen “B Flat minor. The rapidity with which Miss Bailey touched the ivories was such that often her hands while in motion could not be seen Perhaps, if there ever was a wo man who could put her finger on the Irishman’s fabled flee, Miss. Bailey is that woman . She used a Baldwin piano, and being a Na a hville girl with a Nashville made piano, and giving cut such wondrous music, some how or other one would naturally think of Tennessee’s lecturer ger - ua “Our Bob,” of “Fiddle and Bow“ fame. Miss Bailey‘b manager claims tbe.t she has been “Royal Saxon C urt Pianist? We nea-d I r play last night and do not need further proof. She's a-charming litt’e South ern girl and alu-lu on a piano.
