A sketch from War Times.

From the Athens Ca Banner W0tch0adh.
A gentleman in Athens tells us that
during slavery times his father owned q
worthless negro boy, as stubborn as a
mule, which neither persuasion nor lash
would move when he set his head not to,
so trIfiing was he that he gave him to one
of his friends. The son of this friend was
gOingtO do battle for the Confederate cause,
and took the negro along as bis body ser
want. BY kindness on the part of his mas
ter he became attached to him, and on
many occasions risked his life to
save that Of his master. On one
occasion, in a battle, when the shot
were falling around like hail, glancing
his eyes over the field be saw among the
dead and dying his young master reeling
and stumbling, ready TO fall from a shot
from the enemY's guns. The negro, with
no thought for himself, rushed into the
hottest Of the fray, and, gathering the
Young man in his arms. bore him To a
place of safety. The master, knowing
that the wound was fatal. gave the negro
the money that he had about his per-
son, as also his horse, and Entrusted him
with some messages for his family.
When the young man died the SER
want gave him the best burial possible
under the circumstances, walked back
from Pennsylvania TO Georgia, and deliv-
cred the messages. Before the master
died he gave bis boy his freedom and told
him there was something in him which
ought TO be brought out. The servant
thought Of this, and when be came TO
Georgia went TO work TO carry out the in
junction of his master, and to-day owns
one of the best sloOps that splits the
waves Of the Atlantic ocean between New
York and savannah.

In Years Ago.

From the Athens (Sa.l BanRsr- Waterman.
A gentleman remarked the other day
that when DR.. Chase was Chancellor of
the University, every boy was required 20
be IN his room at O'Clock every night,
that cOurlers were sent 10 the boarding
houses OF the students TO see that they
were there, and II IL was found that a boy
was absent from bis room after this hour,
for three times, he was expelled from col
lege. aud as a consequence such men as
Alexander II. Stephens, t. II. X. Cobb,
and Herschel v. Johnson were
turned out. Such strict dsci-
mime is as necessary now
az then, and more so, too, for the temp
tauons which surround them now are
more numerous. While 1t Is true we have
not the grog shops, still there are assocla-
tons In every community which the
mind OF the young man should be taught
toshun. wheap parents send their children
mere they expect them 10 be looked after
and waite ed over IS though they were at
home" The foregoing Is given for what
IL Is worth, and we would add that too
much care cannot BE- exercised In watch
ing over the Young OF our town.

He bOrrOWe = Ankto from - Fellow
Traveller Into whose Throat He
Plunges the Blade.
From the Rome ga Courier.
Monday afternoon news was received
in this city of a probable murder and a
robbery on the highway.
The man who was assaulted is named
Wood, middle-aged white man, who
lives near Cedar Bluff, Ala. The name OF
the negro desperate is unknown. A knife
was the instrument used, and the place of
the attempted murder is near the Berry
hill farm, about seven miles down the
river. The time was about 3 O'Clock
Monday afternoon.
1t seems that Wood had been to the city
and was returning to his home near Cedar
Bluff on foot. On his way he met up with
a negro man who said he was also going
to Cedar Bluff, and the two concluded TO
make the journey together. When near
the Berryhill place, the negro, under some
pretext or other, persuaded Wood to 90
with him into a strip of wood near the
roadside. The negro then asked Wood II
he had knit and when answered In the
Affirmative, requested the loan Of IL. Lit
tie dreaming OF the purpose of the negro,
Wood pulled out his knife and handed 1t TO
him. No sooner had the scoundrel got the
weapon in his hand and opened than be
turned on his companion aud made a
murderous stroke at his throat with the
blade. The steel went true TO It's mark,
aud an ugly and dangerous cash was
made across the throat OF the victim.
Wood tried 10 grapple with the assassin,
and the knife was driven In two more
places, one In the back and the other near
the shoulder. Exhausted by the loss OF
blood and exertion Wood fell to the
ground, and In a moment the negro went
through his pockets and made of with
about $35 which he found.

From the BrSAsSoSck (Gd.) Brsese.
About O'Clock Christmas morning a
well-known lady OF this city was alarmed
by cOlored man entering her kitchen
and insisting that she get him something
TO eat. Unable to get rid OF the man she
called in the assistance of her son, who
went over to a neighbours to borrow a
pistol. The neighbor was enthusiastic
when he learned that there was mid
night marauder at hand, and, armed
with pistol, accompanied the son
back TO the scene of the con-
fiict. Upon their arrival, finding the
negro still there, the son borrowed the
nelghbor's pistol and sought TO induce the
colored brother TO depart, by threatening
to ire on him, but he w8s obdurate. FL
nally he backed out of the kitchen with
the son, the neighbor and the pistol fol-
lowing him. A short distance from the
house was a lumber pile, and here the
colored man armed himself with piece
of scantling and turned upea his assail-
ants. As he started toward them the son
fred two shots without eject, but as CUT
ne stall advanced with that terrible en-
CINE OF vengeance, the piece Of scantling,
raised ready for striking, both the son and
neighbor turned and fed. After running
some distance the neighbor looked back,
and seeing that the negro was not following
seized the pistol from the son, exclaim-
ing: solve it TO me and see me shoot the

who although he had abandoned the chase,
still chung to his scantling, the neighbor
fired two shots at him in rapid succession,
whereupOn Cutie, nothing daunted, seized
brick and let drive at the plucky neigh

hand ana the scantling in the other, ran
both the neighbor and son for dear life,
