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, .

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.
