He Is in Possession of Darien and Is
Whooping Things Up.

Darien, Ga, March 12.-The Ohoopee
raft hands are in ossession--peaceable,
but comp ete-of this old town. FOR the
first time in year that little river has
enough water within its banks to float
the timber which during the months of
waiting, has been gathered from the fer
ests and placed in position for the freshet
to take it in charge. The freshet has
come, the logs loated out to the wider
bosom of the Altamaha, and now that the
waters have subsidized sufficiently, RATS of
all sizes and composed of all classes CT
timber are coming into Daren, guided by
the incomprehensible Ohoopee raft hand.
The Ohoopee raft hand is a genus to
himself, always distinguished by the pc
culiar huoyancy and freshness of his ma
ture, regardless of conventionalities and
appearances. He has a distinct welcome
in Darien.
When he steps from his raft, the re-
straint which has made him FESTIVE for
months in the up-country wooGs is thrown
to the winds. He takes the town in and
proceeds to get drunk if he wants to (as
alas! sometimes he does), or if he pre-
fers, 10 view the new scenes around h,m
in soberness, but with an Originality all
his own Drunk or sober, he is conceded
the right-Cf-way, whereV err he goes, and
"
Darien, He gets the first and best atten-
ton CT the storekeeners, the timber mer-
chants give him glad hand and a good
price for his timber, and Cashier Space at
the bank, Cashes his checks with, a smile
| that is reserved especially for him. In
all these places he is allowed every liber-
ty that his liberal and open hearted ma
ture aspires to, including the use of as
much tobacco as he chooses apd the ex-
pusion of as much tobacco juice as the
floors will hold
Yes, the Ohoopee raft hand is here. He
is happy because he is here. and Daren
will miss him when he is gone.
