THE UNION & RECORDER.
Old “SoutbernjRecorder” and “Federal Union”
[consolidated.]
Mr^LEDOEVILLE, OA:
Tuesday, October 12,. 1875.
The State Fair-
The Georgia State Fair corns
mences in Macon next Monday, and
will continue all of the week. The re
ports from various sections of the
country indicate a very large gath>
ering of people and a very interest
ing exhibition of stock, agricultu
ral products and implements on the
occasion.
Among the curiosities on exhibi
tion, it is said, will be four or five
candidates for the Presidency.—
These we suppose will be classed
among domestic manufactures. But
this sort of domestic manufactures
needs very little encouragement, as
there are always a sufficient supply
on hand. It will, however, be well
for the American people to try to
improvo the quality of the article as
it has very much degenerated of late
years.
On the whole, the Fair bids fair
to be a very interesting affair. We
hope they will have fair weather,
which is not always the case on these
affairs.
Importance of the Ohio Election.
Much has been said and written
within the last few months concern
ing the Ohio eloction, which comes
off to-day. The importance of this
State election has not been overrated.
Its effects will not be confined to
Ohio, but will be felt throughout the
United States. It will not only be
the pivot on which the Presidential
contest will turn, but it will proba
bly give rise to new complications
in politics, religion and finance.—
No wonder then, that the eyes of
the whole count 17 are turned to
wards Ohio to-night and the teles
graphic reports to-morrow will be
read with absorbing interest. We
hope and believe the gallant democ
racy will come out all right.
The Baptist Female College.
The committee appointed by the
last Baptist Convention to select a
place for the college and receive pro
posals for its location have adver
tised that they will decide the ques
tion of its location, on the evening
of the 21st inst., in Macon. We
hope they will not be so hasty in
making their decision, as the citizens
of Milledgeville are anxious to put
in their claims for the College, but
they cannot tell what inducements
they can offer until after the meet
ing of the Legislature, and we know
what disposition they will make of
the public buildings in Milledgeville.
If the present Legislature refuse to
call a convention and restore the
Capital to Milledgeville, we believe
as a matter of justice they will donate
the public buildings to the citizens
of Milledgeville for educational pur
poses. If they do that, we have no
doubt they would be offered for the
location of a Female College. The
Committee are not compelled to
make their final decision until the
meeting of the Baptist Convention
which meets next April, and we
therefore hope they will not decide
until after the meeting of the Legis
lature.
Wilkinson Superior Court was in
session last week—Judge Bartlett
preeiding. On the recommendation
of the Grand Jury the negro insur
rectionists were discharged. An ad-
i ’ourned term of the Court will be
leld on the 2d Monday in Decem-
ber. _
The next annual communication
of the M. W. Grand Lodge F. A.
M. of Georgia will be held in the
Grand Lodge Hall, city of Macon,
commencing on the 26th instant, be
ing the last Tuesday in October.
Alabama’s New Constitution.—
The Alabama Constitutional Conven
tion has adjourned. The new con
stitution forbids aid by the State to
internal improvements; it gives ne
groes the vote, and squelches the
right of secession; it limits State tax
es to three fourths of one per cent.,
abolishes Board of Education and
office of Lieut Governor; reduces
judicial salaries 25 per cent., and
separates the time of holding State
and Federal elections.
It is to be submitted to the peo*
pie for action in the next sixty days.
There will be a four-handed fight
in Massachusetts this Fall. The
Prohibitionists, despite the cajoleries
of Kepublican journals, have deter
mined to make their annual fight.
They have pronounced very pointed
ly and very emphatically against the
Kepublican nominees and put a tick
et of their own in the field. The La
bor Reformers have also determined
to run a candidate and have selected
Wendell Phillips for their leader.
Red-mouthed Radicals will say that
both of these nominations will help
Gaston, because none of the labor
ers and all of the drinkers are in the
Democratic party.
The Colored Convention.
A convention of the leading col
ored men of Georgia was held in
Augusta last Thursday and Friday,
which was presided over by Jeff
Long. The convention was called
for the purpose of considering the
late attempted insurrection. A com
mittee on this subject made a report
Baptist Ministers’ Savings
Fund.
Mr Editor:—I do not grudge you
a single subscriber but only wish
that every Baptist subscriber took
the Index, his State paper, also.
There are many Baptists, however,
who do not read the Index, I
am therefore compelled, as Chair
man of the Board of Trustees of the
Baptist Minister’s Saving Fund, to
denying “in toto the charge of at- ! ask the aid of the secular press in
tempted insurrection, and arrays the ' making known the objects and wants
Bourbon Democracy for making up of our Board. The Board was con-
fha wlmle thin or for their own t>ur» ; stiiuted by the Convention at Ma
con, in 1872, and the duty laid upon
Familiar faces are always gladly
hailed among us. This is certainly
a fact regarding Mr. P. P. Toale’s
advertisement which appears in an
other column. We can safely say
that Mr. Toale is the Champion Man
ufacturer of Doors, Sash and Blinds,
to which he adds a large list of re
quisites for the completion of any
building- To the needy we say
‘send for his prices.” 9 4t.
the whole thing for their own pur-,
poses.” The colored people were
advised to leave the insurrectionary
districts and go to some other por
tion of Georgia, and an Emigration
Society organized with J. H. Devaux
for President.
The proceedings of the conven
tion, which were reported in full for
the Augusta papers, shows the con
vention was very inharmonious, and
further that in reality there was no
cause of complaint against the white
people. They resolved that they
had been treated unjustly and yet
passed resolutions praising Judge
H. V. Johnson. Forgetting that
the insurrectionists had been acquit
ted by white juries, they complain
that they suffer because colored men
are excluded from the jury box. But
“J. F. Long and DeLyon, of Bibb,
wanted it distinctly stated in the re
port that Bibb county allowed ne
groes to sit on the jury, and that the
white people accorded them every
right. Long said they had the beet
Judge, the best Mayor and the best
white people in the State. He had
been on the grand jury himself, and
he knew numbers of others who had
been on different juries of the coun->
ty. DeLyon also spoke at seme
length, and explained that the ne
groes had nothing to complain of in
reference to the people of Bibb.—
They acted with great fairness tos
wards the colored people.
W. J. White said several negroes
had also been on juries in Richmond
county. He would like to have that
county excepted from the report”
Edwin Belcher who, we believe is
now out of office, pitched into the
Republican office-holders in Georgia.
He said, “it was well known that the
body of Republican whites in this
State are office holders. Must the
colored sit down quietly and submit
to these people ? He then went on
to show up the career of Brimberry
and Jack Brown. Suppose the col
ored people should withdraw from
the Republican party in the State,
what would become of it ? Hardly
a corporal’s guard would be left. And
yet such men as Brimberry went to
Washington and represented them
selves as the Republican party of
the State. When there they were
the greatest Republicans in the
Union, but at the South would hard
ly speak to a darkey. Everybody
knew that the colored people were in
the habit of going to these men for
advice. If the colored people, by
their influence, could put these men
out of place and put their true
friends in they should do it. He
pitched some hot shot into what he
called the Siamese twins, the Clarks,
of Macon. There was not a Demo
crat to day in the South who would
not treat the negro with more con
sideration than these psi/cdo so-call
ed Republicans. Ho rasped the Col
lector of the Fourth Collectorship in
passing, and said there were a num
ber of others he could refer to. There
were men who were every day heap
ing imputations upon the colored
people of Georgia, and yet were loud
in tlieir professions of fealty to the
Republican party. Designate these
men by name, and let the Adminis
tration at Washington know that
a hundred men do not constitute the
Republican party of Georgia.”
H. M. Turner was in favor of em
igrating to Africa, and took up much
time both days in a fruitless effort to
show that negroes could not live
here and they ought to emigrate.—
He was ridiculed and accused of be
ing ambitious of becoming an Afri
can prince and reigning over the no
groes. But he would not down, and
pressed a vote on the following res
olutions :
Resolved, That the destiny of the
negro race in this State, and in
this entire country, is about ended,
and that the sooner we leave the bet
ter for our future.
Resolved, That we commence at
once to prepare to buildup a nation
ality upon the continent of Africa,
and that this Convention elect one
or more gentlemen to select a loca
tion for the same, and to devise
measures for its execution.
Resolved, That we request the
Legislature of our State to appropri
ate five million dollars to aid in com
mencing the enterprise; and the Gen
eral Government to aid us in a line
of ships from here to Africa.
Supporting.the resolutions Turn
er made a long and excited address.
He. said that there was no doubt in
his mind but that the negro race had
to leave this country or be extermin
ated. In ten years there would be a
general massacre of negroes. He
didn’t mean to say that this would
be done by the Southern people.
Not at all. Their extermination,
like their liberty, would come from
the North. The Northern people
and the Northern press already
showed that they were tired of the
negro. In the course of his remarks
Turner said he had been in the Feds
eral army, was the oldest negro
officer in it, was the first colored
man to receive a commission.
J. B. Devaux—“What position
did you hold?”
Turner—“Chaplain.” [Laughter/
It was moved that Turner's reso
lutions be indefinitely postponed,
which motion prevailed
—Col. Thos. M. Foreman, who
represented the 1st District of Geor
gia in the Confederate Congress, died
at Brunswick on Tuesday. He was
an extensive planter, about seventy
years of age,
—Neil Johnson and Bud Powell
of Telfair county, were shot by some
unknown parties ambuscaded, 5th
inst. Johnson instantly killed and
Powell mortally wounded.
The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens
is announced as a lecturer in one of
the lyceum courses in Chicago, for
which he will receive $1,000.
The administration has ordered
every Ohio man in the departments
home, to vote against Bill Allen and
more currency. Says the Washing
ton Chronicle significantly: “The
Ohio voter found in Washington on
the twelfth of October, should have
pa indefinite leave of Absence-”
At a recent Connecticut fair sever
al bottles of native wines were se t
before the “wine tasting committee”
for premiums. There was great di
versity of opinion and a warm diss
cussion, followed by intense disgust
when it was found that a wag had
filled all the bottles from the same
barrel.
The destruction of several tobacco
barns and their contents, in Tennes
see, by spontaneous combustion, is
announced. Men who immoderate
ly use the weed may look out, and
the liquor drinker may console him
self that he is not the only possible
victim of a first class explosion.
Rev. Lovic Pierce, more than
ninety years old, has arrayed himself
against the style of ladies’ pin-back
dresses. We have no idea how we
should feel about it if we were as old
as he; but looking at the style from
a young man’s standpoint as we na
turally do, we feel compelled to be
come an antagonist of the reverend
gentleman. Really, we do not see
how we can fail to admire the beau
teous forms of the angels that flit
along the streets.

Baptists of Georgia, dear brethren!
The men who preached the Gospel
to your fathers and grandfathers,
and by whom they were baptized
and welcomed into the household of
God, these men who can say with
Paul, “I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith,” these men, so near
Heaven, are in want. In their stead,
yea, in Christ’s stead, we beseech
you send in of your substance that
we may give to them. They will be
with you but a few days longer, and
then the Lord of glory will crown
them and make them sit on thrones.
While yet they are with you, do
yourselves the honor to entertain
well these royal men of Christ’s
Kingdom. Address your contribu

“For the Blood is the Life.”
See Deuteronomy, xii: 23. The blood being
the source from which the system is built up,
and from which we derive our meutal as well
as physical capabilities, how important that it
should be kept pure! If it contain vile, fester
ing poisons, all organic functions become enfee
bled. Settling upon important organs, as the
lungs, liver and kidneys, the effect is most disas
trous. Hence it behooves all to keep their
blood iu a periectiy healthy condition, and more
especially does this apply at this particular sea
son of the year than at any other. No matter
what the exciting causo may be, the real cause
of a large proportion of all diseases is bad blood.
Now, Dr. Pierce does not wish to place his Gold
en Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack
patent nostrums, by recommending it to cure
every disease, nor does he so recommend it on
the contrary, there are hundreds of diseases
that he acknowledges it will not cure, but what
he does claim is this, that there is but one form
of blood disease that it will not cure, and that
disease is cancer. He does not recommend his
Discovery for that disease, yet he knows it to
be the most searching blood-cleanser yet dis
covered, and that it will tree the blood and sys
tem of all other blood-poisons, be they animal
vegetable, or mineral. The Golden Medical Die-’
covery is warranted by him to cure the worst
firms of Skin Diseases, as all forms of Blotches
Pimples, and Eruptions, a’so ail Glandular
Swellings, and the worst form of Scrofu ous and
Ulcerated Sores of the Neck, Legs, or other
parts, and all Scrofulous Diseases of the Bones
as White Swellings, Fever Sores, Hip joint and
Spinal Diseases— all of which belong fo hcrofu
Ions diseases
CONFIRMED.-HIP-JOINT DISEASE
CURED.
W. Grove Station, Iowa,
Dr. Pierre, Buffalo, N. Y :
Dear Sir:—My wife first became lame nine
years ago. Swellings would appear and dis
appear on her hip, and she was gradually becom
ing reduced, and her whole system rotten with
disease. In 1871, a swelling broke on her hip,
discharging large quantities, and aince that time
there are several openings. Have had five doc
tors, at an expense of $125 who say nothing will
do any good but a surgical operation.
July 16, 1873, he writes thus: My wife has cer
tainly received a great benefit from the use of
your Discovery, for she was not able to get off
the bed aud was not expected to live a week
wben she commenced using it, a year ago. She
has been doing most of her work for over six
months. Has used twenty bottles, and still
using it. Her recovery is considered as almost
a miracle, and we attribute it all to the use of
your valuable medicine. I can cheerfully re
commend it as a bloody purifier and strength
restorer. J. M. ROBINSON.

Dunlop Cough and Cold Syrup
Milled™villi,Ga., Sept. 10,1875.
Mrs. Dunlop :
It affords me unfeigned pleasure to testify to
the real merit of your Cough Syrup. For more
than five years I have suffered from attacks of
Catarrh and Bronchitas, causing pain in the
chest and severe cough whenever I take the
least cold. I have tried perhaps more than twen
ty different remedies—the best of tbem gave but
little relief and most of them none at all. About
five weeks ago, I was caught in a rain and had
the severest attack of cold in my breast that I
have ever had in summer and my cough was
intolerable. Fortunately for me your little
daughter brought me a bottle of Cough 8yrup
to school one morning and requested me to try it,
I did so, and began to improvefrom the first dose
I took. I have used two small bottles aud am
entirtly relieved of all pain, and my cough is
about well. I am prepared to say that ‘Dunlop's
Cough Syrup’ is the best I have ever used, and to
the Manufacturer. I would say you cannot bet
ter serve your generation Ilian by placing this
medicine in the reach of all who have suffered as
I have done.

Anothkr Batch of Kimball’s Chick
ens Coming Home to Roost.—Last
Friday the Governor was formally
notified of the existence of another
batch of the infamous Tennessee Car
Company's notes, and was called up-
on to pay them. The history of this
infamous fraud constitutes one of
the blackest chapters in the black re
cord of the corrupt Bullock reign,
and we regret that the name of one
of our conspicuously prominent citi
zens is most intimately and damnably
connected with it This gentleman
is Mr. H. I. Kimball, President of
the Atlanta Cotton Factory, and
owner of the Kimball House. In or
der that our readers may compre*-
bend the enormity of the fraud, we
will briefly note the history of the
transaction. In April, 1870, Rufus
B. Bullock, Foster Blodgett, E. N.
Kimball, H. I. Kimball, and others,
conspired to defraud the State by a
bogus contract with a bogus com
pany, for the delivery of a certain
number of bogus cars for the use of
the Western and Atlantic railroad.
This bogus company was called the
Tennessee Car Company, and the
following is the contract: “The Ten
nessee Car company” are to furnish
and deliver to the Western and At
lantic railroad fifty box cars, of usual
length, height and width, double
roof, of clear, pure grooved sheeting,
and flooring of matched pine, and
made after latest patems, thorough*!
ly braced, trussed and ironed for the
price of §850 per car. The “Ten
nessee Car Company” are to com
mence delivering the cars at Chatta
nooga or Dalton within sixty days,
and deliver all within ninety days.
Tennessee Car Company,
By E. N. Kimball.
Western and Atlantic Railroad,
By Foster Blodgett.
Approved: Rufus B. Bullock, Gov
ernor, and ex-officio President Wes
tern and Atlantic railroad.
In pursuance of this contract,
which was known and entered into
as a deliberate fraud, there being no
such company as the Tennessee Car
Company, and none contemplated,
Foster Blodgett passed and paid the
following notes:
$4,049 00. June 8, 1870.—One
day after date I promise to pay to
the order of the Tennessee Car Com
pany forty-nine dollars for value re
ceived, payable at the Georgia Na
tional Bank, in Atlanta.

One note of similar tenor, dated
January, 17, 1870, for $614 83. One
dated January 17, 1870, for $5,222.
One dated June 8, 1870, for $4,095
66. One same date for $4,072 33.
One same date for $2,564 02. One
July 25, for $6,321. All were simi
larly endorsed. Also, the following
passed bills: January 7th, $9,550;
December 27, $17,534 91. This mak
ing a total of $59,622. All this mon-
ey was paid to H. I. Kimball, and
not one single car was received by
the road, according to the sworn
statement of the yard-master, who
says: “I was yard-master of the
Western and Atlantic railroad in At
lanta, 1870. I know of no such com
pany as the Tennessee Car Company,
aud never saw any cars on the State
or any other road with this name on
them. The position I held as yard-
master was such that if fifty new box
cars, or even one box car, had been
placed on the road I would have seen
and known them. * * I am positive
in saying that no cars were ever re
ceived by this road from any such
company. This is the mythical com
pany as developed by a committee
appointed by the Legislature in 1872.
It will be observed that had it been
a genuine company and furnished
the cars as alleged that the company
had exceeded the contract by over
fourteen thousand dollars, but when
it is known that not one car had
been delivered, and that the entire
fifty-nine thousand six hundred and
twenty-two dollars was fraudulently
drawn from the treasury, the magni
tude and villainy are apparani But
as if this $59,622 already paid was
not enough, here comes two notes
held by the Eliot National Bank of
Boston, for an aggregate of over
$20,000, and the Governor is appeal
ed to pay them. And the appeal is
made so forcibly, and with such an
air of justice that we can hardly see
how the State can honorably avoid
the payment. The Eliot Bank cites
as an evidence of good faith on its
part in negotiating with Mr. H. I.
Kimball, the certificate of Governor
Bullock, and the fact that the other
notes had been paid by the State.
The transaction is a disreputable one,
and places Mr. Kimball in an un-
eviable light before an outraged com
munity, Had he negotiated the
notes in this State he would be
amenable to the laws, and would be
arrested as soon as found. But as
he negotiated in another State, our
statutes cannot take any cognizance
of the offense. The Governor h«m
the matter of payment of these notes
under consideration, and we have
faith in liis judgment to do justice
to the State and to the parties who
claim to bo victims of the swindle.
Very Truly,

Bradfiei.d’s Female Regulator.—Wo
have often read in the newspapers of the grand
success of medical compounds put up at the
North and elsewhere. Many of those medi
cines have had their day, and we bear no more
of them. Their proprietors have made fortunes,
not 80 much from the curative powers and vir-
tues of their mixtures, as from the notoriety giv
en them by advertising, by which people were
made to believe all the good that was said of
tt™. _ A preparation is now before the public
which is becoming very popular, and is known
as Bradfield’s Female Regulator, put up by L.
H. Bradfield, of Atlauta, Ga , at $1 50 per bottle.
Such is its curative virtues, that it bas gained
widespread popularity all over the country whore
it bas been made known, and it is being intro
duced everywhere. We are informed that im
mense quantities of this medicine are being anld
in all sections of the South and Southwest, es
pecially in the city of New Orleans and in Tex
as.
This much we say in justice to its proprietor,
who is a gentleman of integrity, and who would
not engage in the manufacture and sale of a hum
bug.—La Grange Reporter.

The citizens are all under arms and

from the negroes unless three hun

negroes from further violence. Bus
iness is suspended and the citizens
are in a dreadful state of alarm.
The negroes, five hundred strong,

white women and children.
The fighting commenced within
three miles of Friar’s Point, where
the negroes made a stand. Fight
ing was kept up to Clarksdale. As
yet there are no reliable statements
as to losses. Pickets just in report
fighting in the vicinity of Oak Ridge
road. Eight negroes and one white
man are reported wounded in yester
day’s fight Sheriff Brown is now
at Jonestown, fourteeen miles east of
here, reorganizing his party for the
supposed purpose of another attack
on Friar’e Point The negroes are
said to be rendezvousing in large
numbers.
So far as I can ascertain, this is
no party movement, both Democrats
and Republicans being united to re
sist an incendiary effort on the part
of Sheriff Brown, who has been or
ganizing the negroes into armed bod
ies upon the idea that the whites in
tended to kill them, when, in fact,
the whites had not uttered any such
intention ; nor had any meetings for
such purpose been held, nor did they
hold meetings of any kind. I am
assured of this by Senator Alcorn,
Judge Harrison P. Ried, and other
prominent citizens, who believe that
the presence of aid would prevent a
fatal collision between the whites
and blacks. The former dread such
an occurrence, and will only act in
defense of their lives and property.
This is the last telegram that will
leave here to-day, and is forwarded
by a special courier to Helena. The
courier will wait there to know what
action had or may be taken by citi
zens of Memphis. Gen. Chalmers
and cavalry have not yet returned to
town.
Latest from Friar’s Point—State
ment of Alcorn.
Memphis, October 8.—The latest
from Friar’s Point states that Cbal
mers was driving Pease’s force from
Jonestown and bad them nearly sur
rounded. Chalmers has determined
to capturo Pease, and this will end
the disturbance.
Sheriff Brown, who is still at Hele
na, denies having incited the riot,
and has telegraphed to Ames that he
would quiet tho disturbance.
Senator Alcorn telegraphed the
Attorney General the following:
Having read so many incorrect and
sensational dispatches touching the
recent race troubles at Friar's Point,
I beg to assure you that there need
be no alarm for the peace of this
county. Several hundred armed ne
groes, who had been incited by an
ill-tempered chief, marched on our
town and were rapidly repulsed by
the whites, under the lead of the
most prudent citizens, who have been
following the armed bands of negroes
and dispersing them with as little
violence as possible, and urging them
to go home. The mob has been dis
persed, and I trust will remain quiet
These is no question of politics in
this excitement, and the whites are
to a man on the defensive.
Those of the negroes who have
been misled are fast being reconcil
ed. A community of planters may

nee rivers,
Nine months since the Macon Savings Bank
was organized under the direction of such men
as J. M. Hoardman, W. A. Huff, W. P. Goodall,
B. P Walker and H. T. Powell. The veteran
Boardman acting as President, and the experien
ced and thoroughly post9d H. T. Powell takiug
the place of Cashier. Under such guidance,
if within the limits of possibility, the enterprise
was bound to succeed. But theirs was a new
field in Macon, and the public required to be
trained and educated in the premises ere they
could appreciate the advantages and benefits
of tbe Savings Bank.
Practice aud immediate results, however, soon
sufficed to silence every doubt, and inspire uni
versal confidence.
In this brief period the bank has opened over
four hundred aud fifty accounts, and every day
brings new depositors to this convenient and
profitable institution.
The peculiar advantages of a well ronducted
Savings Bank may bo summed np as follows :
1. Unlike the stockholders of ordinary bank
ing institutions, who are bound for all the debts
and obligations of the concern, the depositor has
the right to withdraw his funds at any moment,
receiving legal interest npon the same, aud be
ing absolved from all responsibility.
2. They teach tbe salutary lesson of economy,
and encourage even the common day laborer to
lay aside some portion of his hard earnings for
a rainy day, where it will not only be within
reach, but constantly accumulating.
3. They afford one of tbe best methods of life
assurance, because the money deposited bears
constant interest, and at the same time is availa
ble before death in the event of any sudden aud
unexpected calamity.
4. They are not subject to the fluctuations of
the money market, and those depreciations which
are constantly occurring in slocks and bonds,
because payment on demand is guaranteed to
the depositor.
5. They aie more profitable than any other
corporation.
Ills reader i* aware how rapidly compound
interest, that is inleretl upon interest, multiplies
the principal. And the savings bank will add
tbe interest of each deposit, when not withdrawn
to the principal, and thos the interest is com
pounded. It is astonishing how even a small
■am deposited and let alone, say at the birth of
a son until he attains majority, under the mys
terious and unceasing action by day and night
of compound interest, will be converted into a
splendid patrimonial endowment. Even simple
interest is a moth, when a man has it to pay,
but if the case be reversed, and he rereives it
compounded, how rapidly will he gi ow rich.
Lastly, these institutions are of great value
to tbe community by keeping its capital alive
aad Id active circulation. Bnt for them, how
many thousands would be hoared and hidden
away io all manner of places, thus abstracting
so much productive wealth from the country,
besides being constantly exposed to the depre
dations ol thieves.
To show bow this method of investment is
appreciated in the rich and prosperous Northern
cities, the city of New York alone has deposited
in her savings banks three hundred and ten mil
lions of dollars, while in thrifty Massachusetts
he capital thus bestowed exceeds the com-
bined money asset* of all the other banks.
We trust that our citzens of every rank and
class will appreciate the advantages of tlie i
Macon Savings Bank, and make it a rnuiua j
blessing to all connected with it.
