The following little story, with its moral,
though written for the Macon (Georgla) Tele-
graph, is quite too good to be enjoyed By the
South alone:
knew a man, he lived in Jones
Which Jor es is a county of red hills and stones;
And he lived pretty much By getting OF loans,
And his mules were nothing but skin and bones,
And his hogs we're fiat as his corn bread pones,
And he had bout thousand acres OF land
This man-and his name was also Jones
He srore that he'd leave them old red hiils and
stones,
For he couldn't make nothing but yellouish
cotton,
And little of that, for his fences were rotten,
And hat little cotton he had was ughten,
And he couldn't get a living from the land.
And the longer he swore the madden he got,
And he rose and he walked to the stable lot.
And he hallooed to Tom to come there and
hitch,
For to emigrate somewh here where the land was
rich,
And to quit raising cock burs, thistles, aid sch
And wasting their time on barren land.
So him and Tom they hitched up their mules,
Protesting that folks wore mighty big fools
That 'ud stay in Georgia their lifetime out,
Jest scratching a living, when ell of them
mought
Get places in Texas where cotton would sprout
By the time you could plant it in the land.
And he drove by a house where a man named
Brown
Was living, not far from the edge of the town,
And be bantered Brown 20 buy his place,
And said that seeing that sherias were hard to
face,
Two dollars an acre would get the land.
They closed at dollar and fifty cents,
And Jones he bought him wagon and tents,
And loaded his corn, and bis women and truck
And moved TO Texas. which it took
His entire pile, with the best Of luck,
To get there and get him little land.
But Brown mo ed out on the old Jones farm,
And be rolled up his breeches and barred his
arm,
And he picked all the rocks from off the ground,
And ne rooted it up and plonghed it down,
And sowed his corn and wheat in the land.
Five years glid by, and Brown. ore day,
(Who gol 30 fat that he wouldn't weigh,)
Was u sitting down. sorter laZily,
To the bulIiest dinner you ever see,
When one OF his children jumped up on his
And says, Vans Jones, which you bought
his land"
And there was Jones stan ding out at the fence,
And he hadn't 10 wagon, nor Tpu! les, nor tents,
For he bad LETT Texas afoot and come
To Georgia to see if he couldn't get some
Employment, aud he Was looking humble
As if lie had never owned any land.
9ut Brown he asked him in, and he sot
Him down to his victuals smoking hot,
And when lie had filled himself and the floor,
Brown looked at him sharp and rove and sW ore
That 'whether mems land was rich poor
There was more in the man than there was
in the land
