March 1st, 1878. A. M. GUNN, ly D. W. K. RICHMOND. Es's Letter From tlie Fool Killer. Mountain Cave, Jan. 30th, 1879. Editor Again the wheel .of time has rolled another year into the vor tex of oblivion, arid the old man seats himself in his cave among the rocks and cliffs of tht3 wild wooda to drop a tearjover the rapid flight of time and aend you a Teport for the new-year up to date. Editor, it is sad to con template the past, and he who estops to do it and brood over his adversi tie "will be in danger, of going crazy . uSo let's be gay,'' &c, but at the same time keep "right side up, with care' always seeing to it that the children do not depart the paternal roof with out their ma'aaas kabwiug they aro out; for, as a child is brought up so will it toddle on through life, and if the indulgent parent gives a boy that r stands 4. in calf-kin np to hi kneefi an inch, hell take ell cer tain. . Editor, parents have much, to answerrfor in this world and the world to coma, for the training up of their cbildrehi i Yon may searcn the world and where you find- one man honest and just From: iuate prin ciplefrom a spontaneous lov of right and justice I'll sljow yqu two who are honest and just only from the force of circumstances. "That is to sjiy they would cheat, lie and steal at the drop f a hat but for the fear of it being found out, and the dread of punishment by the laws of gov ernment and society. .Now, Editor, when' the children are -raised up to love honesty, justice and virtue, and to spurn vice, because it is right aud proper to do so, even if thera were no no laws f government or Mtiety to punish, then tho glorious Milieu niura will come! when' chickens may "roost lower," and bolts and bars to doors may be thrown away, and men's simple words will be far better than many of their bonds are now. ; Between Woodsdale and Clarks ville I interoeptd a young man on the highway with a load of chickens and perceiving tne tears standing in his eyes I waved my club and halting him demanded an explanation: He said he was troubled ;that he took his sweetheart to a party a few nights before and that .while there an old bachelor came to him at a late hour and told him he would see the young lady home when she wanted to. go that he (the young man,) saw his ju larky on the subject and she said it was all right that he then left, 'but,' said he, with a lotid boo hoo, "don't you think that cruel old bachelor took my gal at 3 o'clock that night to a magistrate's house and 'inarrfed her!" And then be bellowed right out, but I dealt my chickea a jodarlf er that knocked tbe pin-feathers out him and dried vbim up, telling1 the lark there were as good fish ni tho sea as ever a bachelor or any other quadruped in the shape of maa pulled out." Going on I descried a young man from near Concord swimiiig flyco at the peril of a watery grave. Eievat ing my club I brought him to a stand and demanded to know who was dy ing or dead, as I supposed it was a case of lite or death with him. He meekly replied that he was "going courting!" "And who are you dying arpundV" said I. He told me aud it turned out to be the same erirl who married the bachelor, but "he had not heard of the marriage, , altho 1 was then on the bachelor s war path tor riding all over the neighborhood the day after his marriage telling the people he was married and how hap py he did feel. One tap of my club lifted the yonngstes out of his boots! Near Mt. Carmel, in Halifax, treei young men going tc a Christmas par ty got the corn juic 3 mauled tout of them very unexpect idly. I was fol lowing tnem up (for I knew they had more whiskey than jrains,) and near Mt. Carmel they xt it my f christian frieDd C has. Butts,- -oing home when 1 heard them in a grt;at gloa tell him thev were joiner, heaven, and they wanted hinXtoQfell thera th th new.jerusalem, &q. I could stand it no longer, but springing upon the soft and empty-headed larks, I ever lastingly made theraout bellow bull calves, for thus trifling with a pious and worthy hard-working man. Sitting at the X-roada near Cnn- lnguams Store, .New-1 ear s night, I throttled a party I mistrusted for the rofebera of A. T. Stewart's remains, and for a while I thought my fortune was made in securing the large re ward. But they proved to be three young men going to a party near McGehees mill; one had a box that looked like a coffin, and another had a fiddle wrapped up like a child in a blanket. The third lark looked qui to hump-baeked, but Tfound he carried a fiddle also run-up under the back of. his coat, to keep it dry. They were all married men aud said they were going to a ''pound, party" to make music. I let tnem go on, and after awhile I dropt down on the "pound party" aud lo! the musicians were the only guests present; they were dis coursing music to the youngster who invited -hem to the 'party' but tie had forgotten to invite any one else! I walked in and eollaring the young lark "pounded" him about right and made the musicians double-quick it home tq theirlamUi-vl Passing on to Turbiville's Store an old colored woman besought me to go for these same musicians, saying they stopped at her house to warm and stole her children s Christmas candy toys. I soon overhauled them and demanded the plunder; two of them cut their eyes at each other and owned up but they had eaten the dog, and pushing on I caught the other lark, who had the old woman's cat (made of candy) carrying it home to give to his nephew, he said. After shaming them about taking old ne grobs toys while she was busy mak ing them a fire, I mauled the day- hg-hrs out of them. Shootiuff over into Person I atten ded a party between Long's X Hoads and Paine's old Tavern, whererall the men seemed to da tight except one, and he was a Good Term lar. Wnen I got there the landlord was chasing the good templar over the yard with a jug in one hand and a rope in the other, his aim being to catch the tem plar and, tieing him, pour the liquor down him, but I smashed the jug and mauling a half gallon of the coffin brand out of mine host, 1 routed the party. Not far from North Hyco I took the starch out of the sails of a young man who was sleigh-rioingsomo laj dies in more mud than snow hp upset the ladies and the mud pulling off a lady's overshoe, he displayed great gallantry in putting it on her toot. It was not discovered until she got home that the shoe had been put on the wrong foot and over another overshoe. I hated to do it but it was my duty to shake my club at the lady, and 1 did so with an admoni tion. I caught the same ladies out rabbit hunting in the cold snow, and warm ing their hands by holding them in a rabbit's bed out of which they had just flushed a Molly cotton-tail. I could but laugh at them. 1 slathered the goose grease out of 'Capt. Lea's Cavalry company" of the Calitbumpiau genderduring the Christmas holidays, while it was on parade in Yancey ville. The ooys were charging and coworting about town on horseback, each fellow arm ed with a fence-rail and carrying one or two of john barleycorn's 'spurs in his head, when I put in appearance with my death dealing cluo, and they out ran a yankee retreating cavalry company, but it was of no use, they wera my meat. I v ; - 4 I looked around town' for a "bean hooting" party, and caught a young man with a 4bean-shooter in bis pocket and blepd in his eye ; he said ho carried tho : deathly, instrument to shoot a youngster who had been try ing to steal ms gai ana marry her. P expostulated with him and he pro- imseu io nun noming out Diras with sbot ya. ; I ho valance ot the .shoo ten dodged me. : Hearing ot a i man 'near ' Ne w H ope cuuruu, in a wen, wuo was - ieeamg his horse on sugar! to fatten it up, I spat in my ;hand and went for him. When I got ; there his brother who had borrowed the beast' jnd which it seems had run away with, bis wagon and smashed it, arrived with the su gar fed animal "aud delivering him to his brother remarked, 'Here, take your d d horse you had no busi ness giving him, that sugar!" I col ared the sugar man and made him dance to th tune of "sugar in the gourd." Near Milton I made a clever old farmer jump the chinoapin bushes for telling a young, man hew to take warts off his hands, the advice being to cut one more notch on tbe North side of a persimmon trie than he had warts. i - But I must hie to Mountain Hill and watch the meandrings of a cou ple of Milton; larks gone to Hodnett's spring after mineral water. Will re port progress in next report. ?Excuse the length of this letter, and believe me as usual, yours very . foolishly, . Jesse Holmes, The iFool Killer. Jerry Blacks try. Judge Black, of PentJrsylvania, tolls a comical story of a trial in which a German doctor appeared for the de fence in a case for damages brought against a client of bis by the object of hia assault. The eminent jurist soon recognized in his witness, who was produced as a medical expert, a laboring man who some years before andrin another part of the country had! been engaged by h'm as a build er of post and rail fences. With this cue Uie opened his cross-examination : "Yob say, doctor," he began, with great deference and suavity, uthat you operated upon Mr. 's head after it was cut by Mi. "Oh, yaw," replied the ex-fence builder, "me do dat; yaw, yaw." "Was the wound a very severe one, doctor "Enough to kill him if I not save his life." "Well, doctor, what did you do for him ?" ''Everything." - "Did you perform the Cassarian op eration?" 'Oh, yaw, yaw; if me not do dat he die." , . "Did you decapitate, him?' "Yaw, yaw, me do dat too.' "Did you hold a post mortem ex amination: 4Oh, to be shore, Schudge, me al ways do dat.' "Well, now, Doctcr," and hero the Judge bent over in a triendly way, "tell us whether you submitted your patient to the process known among medical men as post and rail-fence o rum. The mock doctor drew himself up indignantly. "Scherry Plack, said he, always knowed you vas a tam jayhawk lawyer, an' now I know yow for a tam mean man ." On the 5th ot October, 1854, Mr. George T. Walker, ot Santa Clara, Cal , gave Mr. William Hood a note , seemed by mortgage, for $1,850 at six months; interest at the rate of 3 per cent, per month, to be compoun ded and added to the principal if not paid at the end xti eack month Mr. Walker went to Mexico before the note became due, and when he re turned a few wetks ago his creditor sued him and got judgment for $9, 000,000. Mr. Jefferson Davis writes that he will never enter politics again. ; llorrlblo Tragedy In Atlanta. :iiWhv(foRstitutim- of SaturdaVprints the sickening details offia raurdeV, with the causes which prompted tlw commission of the terrible deed., Mr. Sam Hill and Mr. John Simmons met in the bar-room of the National Hotel, and almost Immediately after Meet ing, Mr'Hiif ; shot Mr;' Simmons in flicting a fatal wound in ' the head. OeneratinlSf Stated thatll Hill 'a wite Avaciinected witM the aSanr, and that some wrong i to her was the cause of bisection inth preraisos. Mr. Hill gave himself up to a, police man , was jaken Itbltbe' station house, where he. made a statement, to are porter corroborating the i rumor. Said he : T have; been wronged, ' wrong ed deeper thauTiIfcan"telluyou.' : I have been off and on in Atlanta seve ral years. 1; have few friends here and many- people thatare-down on me. I have been - wronged. T I mar ried a girl Jiere--a , nobles woman. Everybody who saw her loved her. I know that she loved me devotedly. Last fall ! while I was away, I - was wronged wronged - deeper -1 jian i f 'a man had shot me, and left mo to lin ger out my life in pain. - Men' who havo not wives cannot tell how, l.was wronged, but a man with a mother, and a sister, ou'ht to he able to ap preciate it. ; While I was gone a man went to my wife and ot into her confidence by representing himself as my dear friend. I came back to At lanta and sold pooJ on the city elee tipns. One.nignt just aer this.;ele tien I was up town, ' when a friend came to me aud told me I had better go out home, as some one had gone there and told my wife that J was coming home to kill her. L hasten ed out to m f homo, ati 260 East Hun ter street, and found on the door a note saying: 'My dear husband, good-bye. 1 call you by that name for the last time. I am gone.' "It was signed by my wife, and I believed that a man came in a car riage and took her away." The prisoner was then asked if the man he had shot was the man who had wronged him, to which he repli ed: 'I never saw him before in my life, but from the description I have heard, I think it was the same man." Mr. Simmons' friends give a version of the affair very materially different. They say that after Simmons was shot, and was lying on the floor when he could hardly speak for the blood in his mouth, his brother, Mr, Mote Simmons,. of, tbe firm of Simmons & Hunt, came to him and 'the wounded man said in gapa, "He shot me for nothing." It is also denied that Mr. Simmons ever had anything to do with the wife of Mr; Hill. Says the Constitution: 'The case is one of the most unfor tunate wo have ever chronicled. Mr. Simmons is a young man who has many warm friends here. He is a- bout twenty-two years old, and i a member of the Atlanta cadets. Ho is the proprietor of a drug store on Marietta street, aear tbe cotton fac- torj."' ; Boys, oa't 121 clc Up Your Way. I was sitting in th office of a pro minent manufacture in Bichmond,not long since, when a boy about sixteen entered with a cigar in his mouth. He said to the gentleman: "1 would like to get a situation in your shop to learn a trade, sir !n "I might give you a place, but you carry a very bad recommendation in your mouth," said the gentleman. "1 didn't think it any harm to smoke, sir; nearly everybody smokes now!" 'Ir am sorry to say, my young friend, .! can't employ you.- It you have money enough to smoke cigars, you will be above working as an ap prentice; and it you have not money, your love for cigars might make yoa steal it. No boy who smokes cigars can get employment in my shop. A word to the wise is sufficient. A Feiexd to Bors
