She swine right now to sist CT ole nigger oman dat has been sick d long time Spirit of the old south--God grant tkat it may never die out It will do more to promote racial harmony than anything that I know of.
 story of old Days
 While browsing around .over here [ ran across d story of one of our captains of industry that will bear repeating. As everybody knows, Georgia at one time had her capi- tai at Milledgeville, the legislature declaring that a capital should be located near the center of the state and at the head of navigation After the iron horse had distanced the stcamboats. the capital was moved and the buildings left. which were used for educational purposes. The Georgia Military College was found ed there under General Hill. and in the class of 'S7 was one of our big men Back in those days his chief aim in life was to get Tom Minor, the son of a banker from Cochran, and the son of a Methodist minister and so bull frog hunting on the large pond of Dr. Crawford. On one trip they armed up with some sardines and bread to make their customary pilgrimage and have frogs legs, for dinner The boys got hold of two quarts of good booze, and reached the Crawford place. where they had patent bee gums. The booze was an chored in the lake in shallow water while they robbed the bees to make their peach and honey They got 1t so sweet that Minor could not drinS much, but the bankers and preach er's sons went after 1t with d good

He and Tom were, the champion lettuce eat CTS, and it may embarrass the good old doctors progency to know that he was so 'plebean as to fix his let tuce in a palatable Way, but all have to say is, that if they ever reach' the point in public esteem that their grand dad" did they will be all right
 The farm is still there. but Mrs Napier has changed up the lake, which contains over loo acres, and has made her q regular inland beach by hauling in sand and fitting the place up in apple-pie order She sticks to the soil so l am told and has the '. .00o-ac farm in good shape As Rev. Plato Tubb would say, "dere was men in dem days" and Dr. Craw ford was one of them.
 And think of the Minor family 15 children born of the union, every blessed one of them made good, hon. ored and respected members of so- ciety. How is it that in these bis families there seems to be more ot 'brotherly kindness and love than in your little families?
