Some Historic Data and
Old Relics.
Mr. T. A. Coratn has handed us
au interesting clipping from thej
Cutiibert Liberal Enterprise,
which we print below, and which
refers to some historical facts and !
some old relics owned by some of j
his relatives in Raiulclph county, i
Mr. Coram himself has jn Ins po j
session a pair of stirups that was )
handed down from his grand¬
father, to his father, and then to
their present owner. Mr. Coram
has kept these stirups and used
them regularly since he came in
posession of them, and says that
he is quite sure they have been
used fully one hundred years
I! ) also has a razor which has
been in the family for one hun¬
dred years, and which was given
him when lie was 17 years old
Mr. Coram is now 50 years old.
The clipping from the Libera
Enterprise is as follows:
We arc in posession of a clipping
from a newspaper from Mrs. .Bras¬
well, of Marion county, which may be
interesting to the young people and
perhaps many of the older ones as
well. The clipping follows:. “As so
many people have asked me to give
them the exact date of the “cold
Saturday” night, and the meteoric
shower or tho “falling of the stars”
I take this method of telling all who
read your valuable paper. I was then
in the ninth year of my age, and was
present at both. The cold Fa unlay
was on the 7th day of Feb. 19133. A
stage driver in Habersham county,
Oa., froze to death on his stage.
Chickens froze to death oil the roost.
The meteoric shower, or the falling
stars, was on the loth of November,
1833. About 12 o’clock on that mem¬
orable night, my father’s family was
awakened to view the phenomenon.
My mother being a brave woman,
called up her children to sec the sight,
and i myself was one of the children
to see it. and did witness the sight
with my own eyes, it was a beauti¬
ful sight, never to be forgotten. I am
nearly 84 years of age, and the only
living child of my father’s family.
William Anders was a voluntary sol¬
dier and I am his daughter. Respect¬
fully, Mrs. Ann Mariah Redding.”
A few more relics in this communi¬
ty we will mention: Mr. J. AT. Coram
Juts in It is possession a light wpod knot
that his gradmother picked up in Hie
woods in the year 1832. Our grand¬
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tims. Coram,
moved from Warren county in the
spring of 1831. Our father at that
time was about 11 years old, and they,
settled the farm now owned by Mr.
J*. E. Keese. Later they built the
house and set tled the farm where Mr.
Elmo Coram now lives. A few weeks
after moving here my grand mother i
went out in the woods to drive up the j
calves, and it was while she was on j
one of these trips that she found this [
light wood knot. She carried it with i
her as n protection from the wolf, |
the panther and the red man, they i
till inhabiting our forests at that time. |
This souvenir of ante-bellum times j
can be found on the mantel of Mr. J. i
M. Coram, and any may see it '
one
when they are at his home. There are i
also two petrified stumps in his yard j
which can be seen from the front j
walks of his yard. They were dis¬
covered by his uncle, Mr. J. J. Co
rani, nearly a half century ago. The ,
writer has a little powder gourd that
belonged to our father when he was i
a .voung man, and hunted deer and
turkey, which were plentiful in this
country at that time.
Was A Hen.
Little Harry, with his sister
and brothers, was being taught
natural history by the governess
through tiie instrumentality of a
game, saves the circle. The game
was called “Barnyard.” One
child was a duck, another a tur¬
key and a third a calf, and so on
—a noisy, delightful game.
But little Harry remained, in
all the tumult, as still as death.
Far oil in a corner he crouched,
silent and alone. The governess,
\ spying him, approached, saying
indignantly:
“Come, Harry, and play with
us.
‘Hash,” answered Harry,
'm laying an egg.”
