"Simon Suggs, Jr.," became as well
known in the South as Samuel Weller
or Micky Free, and whilst the case of
"Higginbotham versus Swink Slaider"
became a "cause celebre." In the
Southern households in the olden
times, you would find this book side
by side with "Georgia Scenes," and
both well thumbed by both the old and
young of the family. I am under the
impression that Judge Baldwin also
wrote another work entitled "The Partisan
Leader," but this did not make
a stir in the world like "Flush Times."
Baldwin's biographical sketch of Seargent
Smith Prentiss has been pronounced
one of the
guage.

Mr. William
Savannah, Ga.,
Tappan Thompson, of
was another humorist
contemporaneous with Baldwin. Whilst
he distinguished
torial line, he is
himself in the
best known as
edi-
the
author of a
work entitled
grotesquely humorous
"Major Jones' Courtship,"
which appeared in 1840. This
was followed by a volume entitled
"Major Jones' Sketches of Travel,
Scenes, Incidents and Adventures in
a Tour from Georgia to Canada."
In 1843, Mr. Thompson published a
third volume entitled "Major Jones'
Chronicles of Pinesville—Sketches of
Georgia Scenes, Incidents and Characters."
This was in the same vein as
the others, but it had been worked too
long, and the last volume did not win
the public favor its predecessors
had done.
