MOoNsHINER SANDERS.
What He Says OF His Experience In Jail
His Ancestry.

Homer Ca Cor. Athens Bonner Watohndn.
Among the distinguished visitors we
notice Capt. Aaron Sanders, alias Pea
Sanders, is in attendance upon Banks
court, having reached Homer Tuesday
morning. He has just returned from a
visit to the stockade in Atlanta. He ex-
presses himself as we'll pleased with his
trip. He says he was treated royalty by
the janitors, Messrs. Pool and Osborn. He
left Homer on Nov. % for stay of six
months in the Gate City, but owing to an
attack OF meningitis was turned out after
serving out half of his time. He
says the doctor of the prisoners
gave him every medicine known for the
disease, but there was no improvement III
his condition until he got a quart of corn
whisky. He began to Improve imme-
diately. He expresses himself as de-
lighted with the menu OF the stOckade.
He was fed on COW peas and corn bread
every day, with cabbage once a week for
a rarity. They also gave him beef on
Thursdays and Sundays for delicacy.
For breakfast he had four biscuits the
size Of a silver dollar, coffee and bacon.
He SAYS while in the resort he has been
studying for the ministry, and thinks of
going to China as a missionary. Mr..
Sanders was of Dutch, Irish and Scotch
descent. his ancestors served con-
spicuously in the battles of Waterloo,
under William Wallace, for Scotch indie
pendence, and his great-grandfather was
at Yorktown at the surrender of Corn
wallis. We think Peas ancestry, judging
from his appearance, were the followers
of Confucius. Pea is a perfect Mongolian,
with the exception Of que. Pea himself
boasts of proud war record. He was
with Gen. Scott in the Montezumas, and
claims TO have been his aid-de-camp when
he entered the City OF Mexico. He was
In nearly all of the big battles OF the late
war, and was at the battles OF Bull Run,
Charlottesville, Gettysburg, and
many others. Pea has never as
yet surrendered his Confederate
allegiance. He is a ToOmbs man, and
has been at war with Uncle Sam and the
revenue men for the last twenty years.
He is like Gen. Johnston, too, in one re.
| spect, in his career-he is an officer who
knows how to retreat. and has always
managed to keep away from the officers
and to evade the revenue men. Pea says
now that he is going to farming; has
rented four acres of land and intends tC
make good crop Of peas. He also in
! tends to quit blockading, and expects to
! live quiet, peaceable citizens life the
! balance OF his days.

We have heard OF "bull in a china
shop" but not until Wednesday morning
did we ever hear OF a Texas mule in a
drug store. One of these wild quadru-
peds from the Western plains plunged
headlong into POwelPs drugstore last
Wednesday morning and rushed wildly
through from front TO rear, passing out
into the back yard. His sudden and I'M
looked tor debut into the store discomfort
ed our usually serene and unruffied May
or, but the presence of his HOnOr's person
near the rear door had no effect upon his
muleship, whatever. ResOlute and I'M
daunted by sight Of man or smell of per-
fumes from aromatic herbs, kerchief eX-
tracts and deadly drugs, he fixed his gaze
upon the rear and held his course until
the point was reached. He was fleeing
from a dusky son OF Ham whom he had
left flOundering in the mud and slush at
Harris corner, and like a stampeded
army, his only object was a hasty and
sure retreat. Strange to say, he did no
harm outside OF the temporary democrat
izatiOn to Sam Freeman. Sam says he
has had visits before from the biped genus
mule, but never from the Quadruped.

Onening a CORNERSTONE.

At West Point Ca, Friday the corner
stone of the college was opened and great
number of people were disappointed.
There were few furnished coins of small
denomination, constitution and bylaws
of the West Point fire company, a Mont
gOmery Advertiser, a silver plate with the
Mayor and Councils name engraved on
it, a tin type likeness OF Mrs.
j. T. Zachry. The corner
stone contained the things enumer-
ated above, and had it remained there for
twelve years longer nothing would have
remained visible but the metal, for all the
papers were in poor state of preserva-
tion. The cornerstone was a big thing
when it was laid. Everybody was in
vited to place a relic within its vault. but
when handed in and called out in a stem.
tOrian voice with the name OF the deposit
tor 1t was quietly placed in some other
vault! The happy person going his or
her way, feeling that some unborn gener-
alton would view the little present, but
the heartless fire has destroyed the hopes
of many such. Had everything been put
in the cornerstone that day, March 10,
1874, brought for that purpose, IT would
have taken a hogshead to have encom.
passed them.

worthless article than to wait for the
prosperity that ultimately results from
honest dealing. These are the men who,
when asked for BensOn's Capcine Plas-
ter, will recommend some cheap and
trashy substitute or imitation, saying il
is ''iust as good" Sometimes they will
do up and sell the miserable imitation
without remark, allowing the customer to
suppose he has Berson's. If the value

say he made mistake; if not, he has done
a good stroke of business. The public are
