First prlM at Royal Counties and Royal Agricultural shows. ' "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. finest in our lan- 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. RATEKIN'S SEED HOUSE.
