The New Correspondent. f Innm fl,ir.V rvinldn'r ho her- W A-' -W V fc - - " ter." Tarp said to himftlf as Abner approached . him.' 'IIes swallowin' it like a hungry fish. If this thins goes through it will be the talk of the county. Say, G Uncle Ah. did you ever in your rounds happen to meet a chnp by the name o" J. L. Tarp. proprietor of Tarp's Dry Goods and General Merchandise Em I tori u ui at DarleyS Well, if you haven't you'd better keep your eye peeled, lie's the slickest and the cheapest ad vertiser in seven states and will do you if he can." And. with an exultant smile, tbe merchant turned into his store. Abner liuished reading the communi cation just received at the foot of the stairs and then went up to the office Throwing his armful of papers on a Table, he glanced across tbe room at Howard, who was at work on an ed itorial. 'Say." he began, smiling significant ly. 'yon was savin you was afeared that we'd run a little-shy on news fer tomorrow's issue, wasn't you?" 'I thought so," Floward returned, "but I guess we can manage to fill up by running some reserve matter al ready in type." "We won't have to," Abner smiled, as lie tapped on the table witb tbe folded sheets he had received. "Why? Has something happened?" Howard asked, curiously. "You'll think so." Abner chuckled. "We've got a new correspondent over the mountains at Elktown Thomas L. Keith he signs bisse'f. and he's a corker, 'ef I am any judge. Drop that work nr.' listen to this." Howard turned in his seat. and. opening the manuscript and clearing his throat. Abner began to read in a sort of declamatory tone which he vised when he wished to be Impressive: Ellttown, Ga., Wednesday Horning. EditoTv the New Clarion: ,, Pear Sir I am writing to y.oii with the hnpe tliat I rtiHy le enrolled as your cor respondent from this charming mountain h:imlet. I have never tried rny hand at newspaper work, but I have always felt that I would like it as a pastime, and after reading about what a princely host you were at your recent dinner to the rural correspondents of the New Clarion and what a gay time you all had in such a brotherly and sisterly way, I admit I have had the pen fever worse than ever. .And as for a suitable outlet for my ef- frrts. I must say. without any intention To flatter, that I knew of no journal that I would rather he a contributor to than yours. That such a well printed, well ed ited paper could emanate from a small Town in north Georcia In these days of strule is a marvel that I find difficulty to adjust myself to. "Fine, ain't It?" Abner paused to comment and spit. "lie knows what's what, ef I'm a proper judge, an I'm glad seeh a feller appreciates what we are doin. But jest wait that's jest the introduction to the main stuff. That's comin'. as youH see in a min ute." - I am happy to say, Mr. Editor (Abner resumed rcadins that it happens now that I am able to transmit some impor tnnt news news, it seems to me at this distance, to be of unusual interest to peo ple of all apes, sizes, classes and sexes Fomethlnsr of an astonishing nature has just come to lizfct here in these quiet old mountains and the excitement is absolute ly unprecedented and is spreading like swollen torrent of water. It started from an old report that has been whispered and talked and hinted at ever since the last Cherokee Indian tribe lived here and was finally run off by our early settlers to the west. As you and vour esteemed readers are doubtless aware, it is a fact cf history and present lav observation that those same Indians lu cold with considerable success all around Elktown, as is proved by the old pits and shafts which still frreet the eye in many spots. Now that fact Is not only established bc3"ond a pcradventure by what has just come to light: but mr Trover, the old story about a certain Indian tliieft.Tin burying a bit? treasure of r.u?zet gold appears to have had actual foundation, as you will see by what fel lows T:ie old tales ir.aa ciea out; folks were pcinr about their various affairs in their dai!y walks, never dreaming of the bomb of untold wealth that was to explode In eur sylvan midst, when a stranger arrlV' cn from the Indian territory and put up at the Elktown hotel. He had no partic ular business that anybody could see. but kept coming and going and saying noth Ing to anybody, borne thought lie was an agent sent out to buy up lumbe lands for some rich company or inspect water power plants. But as the man continued to stay and act secretive in the extreme, the Fpecula tion as to what he was up to became rife For ono thing th stranger had an odd look. He was as dnrk as a mulatto, had very high, if not actually protruding cheek bones, was remarKabiy tall, as straight as a ramrod and had hair as thick and stiff as No. 8 spool thread Many noticed that he looked happy. I fact, folks on the watch caught him grin nin-r to himself when he thought nobody was looking. He paidhis bill; In fact, made lavish tips all about. He had pack ed up his belongings and was waiting for the train to take him off when be sud denly fell sick. The amiable proprietor of the Elktown hotel and 1:1s kind hearted and popular wife tried to attend to his needs as well as they could, and it appears that they overheard him snyins thinss not intended Tor-til'ier cars tTiun liis oh n7 lie eeeintd to be afraid that the hand of the grim reaper was overshadowing him and was r.nxious to set something of vast im portance off his mind and at the same time to be aware that none but hia own chosen people could be "received" Into his confidence. He kept saying: "Gold, gold. j?old! Chunks and chunks of Jt! Under the mossy rock; keep to the right! Go down bill to stream, then left up the slope and down again to gum spring!" The man died at break of day. There was nothing to do but lay him away In as decent a form as was possible. Nobody could guess what religion, if any. he had and so no particular denomination officiated, though all was represented at an Impressive. ceremony at the tomb. ) Nobody knpwed (the pronounciation was ' Abner's, interpolated in his excitement) where the deceased lived, and so his ' friends and relatives could not be noti . fled, but they were evidently on the watch 8 to his movements, w netner it was something he had written back to his folks or his failure to write can only be surmised. It was a fact, though, that within ten days after the interment two well dressed, dark skinned men with the same high cheekbones and other facial blemishes and straight backs came and put up at the notei. They could not hide the excitement they were in. They spent the days nosing about in the mountains and the nights confab bing together In their room. Sometimes they would get the proprietor of the hotel to tell them exactly what the dead man had mumbled in his delirium. As you ana your gentle readers may well imagine, the whole matter got in a ferment in the neighborhood. Nothing else was talked of at the fireside, in the field, office or place of business. The Indian fellows that had come seem ed to give up. or pretended to give up, for they went their way as silently and .mys teriously as they had arrived. But what happened after they left? With all the lynx eyed ability of their forefathers they bad overlooked a thing that a little boy. the twelve-year-old son of one of our most highly esteemed farm ers, discovered by bare accident when he had his pa's shotgun out hunting yester day. He ran across a big. flat sided bowlder of gray limestone a mile or so from town facing due east. On it were some letters that had evidently been made by the dead man with a brush and oil paint. They were fully six inches in size and. while washed with the plenteous rains which have recently fallen, were distinct ly discernible. They were: T. D. G. A. G. M. E. So. M. S. D. The boy happened to relate his discov ery to nis pa in tne presence or our es teemed town clerk and others, and you may well imagine the excitement thus promulgated Needless to say. the spot was promptly visited by everybody who could possibly climb the rugged steeps and cross the yawning canyons intervening be tween Elktown and that interesting goal. Your correspondent happened to be among he first to view with his own eyes the discovery, and he, for one, makes bold to say positively that the dying stranger who passed into the vast unknown with sealed lips with his own hand painted the letters on the rock as a landmark to guide him back to the hidden treasure. Such excitement has never been known since Lee s surrender. I beg leave to sign myself, respectfully and admiringly yours. THOMAS L- KEITH. "Ain't that a stunner?" Abner asked. as he finished reading. Ml don t know what Keith be is. hut he must be.some kin o' old Uncle Tommy Keith over thar. The Keiths in that section are as thick as flies In August. 4Xow, we must git to work an set this up In type. Put the biggest head lines on it you possibly kin get up, and. above all, mum's the word. The news may reach, Darley overland before our paper is out, but we'll hope not. It would tickle me the best in the world to see tbe folks openin' the New Clar ion tomorrow an' runnin' across an item like that just as ef seen, news was an everyday matter with us." Iloward was about to reply when he was arrested by a step on the stairs. and Frank Reymond entered. "I'have MURDOCH Local News From Tuesday's DallT.
