ATLANTA, GA, Msy ga few weeks

pssrarce located in Green county. He
called himself "Abbidigsl'or ''HoIy Ore,"
claimed to possess divine nature, and
said he had received instruction by divine
revelation to free the colored people Of
Georgia from the bondage Of false re-
ligion. He gained the confidence Of the
colored Leop.e and dsluded them into be-
iieving he was their colored Savior. He
had many followers, hundreds coming
from the adjoining counties and VILLAGES
to listen to his strange doctrines. He
held services in fields and groves, snc
adorned himself on these occasions with
gaudy tuibans and flowing robes. BE
had beads and ornaments that he sold
readily as shields against the power OF
S,tan, and in this waY was resping 8
financial harvest.
He was regarded BY the white people
SO harmless crank, and little attention
wss given him until It was discovered that
ne was 3 horse thief and an imposter

on their journey. A dozen fsmilies eolf

possessed and pus the money in the hanoi

There is nothing sd likely to thorough
" disgust d stranger with a country
and give him q poor opinion OF it in
general as bad roads. On tile other
hand there are few things MS likely to
impress stranger favarably with a
country as good roads. IT we really
want immigrants we should prepare for
them In more substantial ways than
passing resolutions inviting them To
come, and one one of the things we
must have is better roads. Good public
highways have an immense deal to do
with the progress and progress and
prosperity of any country, and there is
nothing which will pay better. The
time lost. vehicles broken and the stock
injured by poor roads would many times
