A NOTE OF WARNING.
Mr. J. C. Harris, of the Atlanta Constitution, sends us a circular, in which he states that his book, "Uncle Remus—His Songs and His Sayings," will soon be issued from the press of the Appletons, of New York, and will be appropriately illustrated by eminent artists. It is not necessary to warn our readers of the impending trouble. They have heard of it, and are prepared for its coming. The legends of "Uncle Remus" which have appeared in the Constitution have been exceedingly popular, and it is the great purpose of the author in gathering them together in book form to preserve a phase of negro dialect and character which would otherwise soon be forgotten—a phase of equal interest to ethnologists and to those who are in search merely of quaint forms of humor. The book will be for sale by our news dealers, and when it makes its appearance will be duly announced in these columns.
