am sorry that gcogrdfys and rale
robes and tcllcegraf wires ever WIN
invented. But FIR these Thad Stey-
ems nor no boldly else would have
found out whar Sardis IL. These ma
be 81 very good thugs TO have UNI
der sortin circumstances, but In our
peculyr fix, thay or mcens Of opprcs-
shun and charg like all thunder fur
the favurs thay confur upon 49,.
You rccollcck that shortly after
the Confedrit soldiers lado down thar
arms because thar wur 50 mcnny al
home and so menny in the quarter
masturs aud commissary departments,
Kurnel Otto Funk cum 10 Grenada
to keap things stratc. Well he inn
mediaiely isshued a bnshcl basket FIJI
of handbils tcllin III as how Lincon
was ded, but that just aforc he died
he sot Che niggers free and thay ware
thar4 free to alI intents and purposes.
Wee bein embraced in his military
deestrickt obadc with alackrity--quit
culfin and kickin the niggcrs by his
spesshal request, and liver since then
We hay bin behavin oursclis as well
as we had branes to. Wee thort the
Kurnel slitually mistaken when he
Sod the niggers ware free. Wee had
bort en- and pade fur EN-. | kno !
pade Mr.. Bird Hile 1900 dollars fur
q cupple jest aforc the war, and | had
never sed thay ware free. Nobody
haint pade me fur EN- and as thay
belonged TO me as much as airy mule
| had | thort the Kurnel was egage-
ratin, but however | sed nothin, but
quietly muvcd along and so did evry
boldly else. Sardis. commenced i'm
proving. Howses was goin up on
evry side Of town and on both sides
of the rale rode. Nobody want
cuttin up nor cussin. The farmers
had awl the niggers employed KILN
grass, and evry thing was muving
rs slick as a grecsed ingurn.
Thar was lots Of k~arpcnturs in town
all at work. Thay ware composed
of Southern gentlemen, sum frum
Cannady, sum free niggers, and a rite
smart sprinkle frum the north, all at
work. Well we wor doing fast rate,
parhapsa icstle to much that way 10
suite evry boldly who didn't have the
welfare Of the union at hart. We
are all union men, and for mi part, |
never was any thing else and love the
c%onstitushun to day bettern airy radi-
cal outside Of h--hadecsc. Well
sur, thusly ware wee muving SWIM
mingly along not KNOWN wee ware
wurthy Of attracktin the attonshun
of amy boldly or set of men, when
the fust thing wee knowd kerchunk |
down Gums n buroe slap dab in our
midst. What he cum for Ide like To
kno. What is thar to do what amt
all reddy bin dun. The niger has
eyry recoarse at law the white man
has. Honeit men-men whose in
tegrity no boldly dare dispute have
taken an oath to do EN- justice. The
civil rites bile gives the niger evry
immunitp guaranteed to the whites, SO
what necessity thar is for q buroe at
Sardis l can't possibly understand.
The perquissitcs ma pay but thar am
such q thing in the wurld as justis
and rite. This buroe am capable OF
doin good sum say if inclined that ar
way, and a was deel of harm If in
clined that ar way. Wee shall sea
what wee shall sea rs the prcccher sed
tother sunday. Judge Hudson is a
honest man aud will give the niggcrs
and whites both iustis and l cant for
mi life sea the needcessity for a buro.
Ii may scratch the scab of old sores
what had heald up long time ago, but
| trust no SIGH coorse will be pursu-

it, A Niger told metuther day that
Sumboddy called another Niger
I"Unclc,n in hcering Of a radical who
immediately sent word to headquar-
tiers that Sardis was n disloyal place,
and needed a buroe. "Uucles in
