Middle Ga. Argus – December 1894
Mr. J. G. McDonald, the blear-eye subject of this sketch associated himself 
with me a year ago under false pretenses.  He claimed among other things to 
have some common sense, which I find absolutely not so.  He is spending a life 
in vain effort to be a dude, and it would bring a smile over the face of a 
graven image to see him strolling out with a woman’s wrap on him, which Bob 
Etheridge passed off to him for an overcoat.  He had rather die than to work, 
and is so constituted that he spends about four dollars every time he earns 
one.  If he has any ability of any description he has managed to keep it 
concealed, and his best friends often blush at his stupidity.  If there is a 
business in this world which want a man to spend money for them, sleep two 
thirds of his time, and sit down and growl the balance of the day and smoke 
cigarettes, I can furnish the man and will do so free of charge; or if any one 
has any old shoes or a few old rags, I will give them the junior and the market 
price of their stuff to boot.

N. J. Harmon
