The South western news. (Dawson, GA.) 188?-1889, 1888-02-29

ackebhaiA ana got II DacK again.
Later on we had to send General
Taylor and Jefferson Davis down
to Mexico and whip them out, and
later own we gave Texas to Uncle
Sam state big enough to give
her 2,200 United States, senators
if she had as mony in proportion
as Rhode island. 1t is the big
! hearted, unselRsh south that has
been foremost in securing the land
and building the house, and be~
cause the north has put in the FUR
niture they are claiming the whole
concern. The declaration of indies
pendence is ours, and the Fourth
of July and Washington and JEFF
ferson and Madison, and Patrick
Henry and Randolph and Poca-
hontas and John Smith, and all the
Lees, and Clay and Calhoun, and
Gene ral Jackson, and Stonewall,
and states rights, toe, If there are
any left. And we have clothed
the world with our cotton, and CIV
ilized all the negroes the yankees
stole and brought over, and We
have since raised up six millions
more in good order and condition,
and are making democrats of them
just as fast as we can. / see that
the republicans now want them all
sent to South America and c0lOniz
ed. Well, we don't care. Maybe
it will be a good idea We csn get
as many more from Africa as we
want and we will civilize them, too,
and will keep on importing and
civilizing until all Africa is re-
deemed from barbarism. The yam
KEGS tried Liberia and failed, but
we never failed.
l see that Mr.. Clement: has put
in Jill to get pay for some dam
ages the fcderals did to n church
in Marietta. | wonder what that
means, Don't he know that he
CAN'T get that hill through? Was
any such bin ever pair There arc
scores Of them up there now, in the
| pigeon. holes or some old box. We
sent three from Rome, eighteen
years ago, and the proof was Pill
made jam up, and it was certihel
to by General Vaadivcr, of Mary
land, the very man who did the
damage, but they never got fur
Their than the vestibule, and were
switched off on a sideStrack. Ii
Mr. Clements has any encourage.
menr, | wish he would hunt up
the old papers that came from all
along the line, and then press all
alike. There were two colleges
and three. churches burned right
here i'll Barlow, and it was said
that, as churches and colleges we're
lion~combatants and didn't belong
to anybody in particular, they
would be paid for. But there was
oar beautiful oemetary at Rome,
that had nobody living in it but
deed folks who couldn't fight, and
old Sherman with his vandals,
broke up every tombstone, and
monument and iron railing il it.
I found the monument that mark
ed the grave of our own little bow
rolled away down the hill, and I
could hardly fad the place where
he was buried. What do you think
is the prospect Of ever harmonizing
that boys mother? Some of this
pension money is going to the very
bummers who did that kind of
work. Well, | reckon they had
better grab all they can in this
world, for pension money will be
scarce in the next. But these lit
tie bills for southern churches won't
be paid. Southern piety is at a
big discount up there, and the bill
is not big enough to furnish a mar
gin.
had a very good letter yester.
day from man who says that We
mistake the northern republicans;
that he knows them, and lived
among them for twenty years, and
they ere the very best people up
north. I've heard that before.
They are good to everybody but
us. ,Fhey vote for our slanderers
every time. They take the papers
that SANDER us, and they believe
them. They hate Mr.. Eamax for
no other reason than that he Is
from the south. They don't want
us to have anything ard so we fight
back, They may build their church
steeples to the sky and cry abba
Father" all day sunday but the
book says without charity they are
nothing but any empty sound and
a tinkling cymbal, When they
are good to us we will make friends,
and in no other way can they
ever break the ranks of the solid
