William Patterson's Will.



William Patterson was very wealthy
tradesman Of Baltimore. In the early
days Of franklin county, Ga, he
bought up great many tracts Of land
in the county, and spent good portion
Of bis time In looking after his interests
thorc. He was said 70 be rs strong as a
bear and ms brave as lion; but, like all
brave men, he was o lover of peace, and
indeed, q good, pious man. Neverthe.
loss, his wrath could DO excited to q
fighting pitch. On one occasion he at
tended q public gathering in tho lower
pnrt Of Franklin county, at some district
court ground. During the day two op-
posing DULLES and their friends raised a
row, and general fight was tho conse.
quence. At tho beginning Of tho ARRAY,
and before the fighting began, Billy
Patterson ran to the crowd To
persuade them not to fight, but to
mako peace and DO friends. But his
efforts for peace were unavailing, and
while making them, some of the crowd
in the general melee struck Billy Patter-
son severe blow from behind. Billy
at once became fighting mad, and cried
ont at the top of his voice, "Who struck
Billy Patterson I" No one could or
would tell him who was the guilty party.
he then proposed to give any man 500
who would tell him ''who struck Billy
Patterson. From 500 no rose to $1,000,
but not $1,000 would induce any man to
tell him "who struck Billy Patterson. "
Years afterwards, in his will, no related
the above facts and bequeathed $1,000,
to be paid by his executors, TO the man
who would tell "who struck Billy Pat.
terson." His will his recorded in the
Ordinsry's Office at GAINESVILLE, franklin
county, Ca, and anyone curious about
tho matter can there find and verify the
preceding statements.

Indian Journalism.

Here are some curiosities in vernacu.
lar journalism in India. Some time ago
a native paper Of Ahmedabad published
one OF its issues on yellow paper. Its
readers were at a loss to account for the
Transformation, when week afterwards
1t came out on dark green paper, with
an editorial note explaining the reason,
which was that their stock Of white
paper had been exhausted. Conse.
quently the proprietor was obliged to
use some colored paper which was in
tended for wrappers, Another native
journal in Guzerat disappeared from the
scene for two consecutive weeks. On
the third week it appeared with an apol-
oget note stating that readers were not
served in consequence OF the editors
sister being i'll. A third was in O similar
way temporarily eclipsed. In this case
the editor had to proceed to Bombay as
u witness in O small cause court case.
This week the Sun,shar Bahaduy OF All.
medadad, has hit upon tho original idea
of printing its first side, heading and all,
on the fourth page. 1t has carried on,
the singular programme consistently.
