Good Cotton Picking —Mr. Jr*. M. White
bus a negro on his plicu who picked t 55 pounds
of cotton in one day, last week. Mr. Gu* Smith
“ sees that,” and goes him better, thus: his son,
fourteen years ot age. In a contest with a negro
toy, picked, in cue day, £B6 pounos; the negro
picking 688 pound*. This exceeds any picking
that we have heard of this season, in Middle Geor
gia, and is truly wonderful for this section
Storm in Macon.— We understand that con
siderable damage was done in Macon and vicinity,
on Sunday night, by the s’orm. A portion of the
rooting of the tine court-house, the Lauier House,
and several warehouses were greatly damsged and
ten to pieces. The shade trees on Cotton Ave
nue were torn up by the roots, aud much damage
otberwk c done.
Passengers ou the train from Atlanta also re
port considerable damage done in that city.
A Frightful Condition of Affairs.— From
Mr. Thomas E. Chambliss, who has just returned

the finest and most valuable lands can be pur

A Sad Death. —We are pained to announce the
d-ath ol Mr. Jese Aycoik. aged 70 years, wh.eh
occurred at bis residence iu this city, on Sunday
morning.
“ Uncie Jeß*e” is so well known to our citizens,
that it 1* useless to rt'er particularly to bis many
virtues. llaviDg occupied official position in our
midst fer many years, he came in contact daily
with all classes of our people, and his virtues and
faults were all alike known and discussed. The
general judgement must be, since he has been
laid in the cold earth, that here lies a good heart
ed, generous man, respected by his friends for his
many acts of kindness —hated by none—whose
long and painfull illness, endeared him more close
ly to the community, and whose Christian virtues
endured to the end, entitle him to the reward.
But few clods, that cover mortality in the earth,
will find a more generous form to inter, than the
clay that wrapt him in his cold grave to-day.
Triumph to his spirit—Peace to his ashes!
Citizens’ Meeting—lmportant Resolutions
—The Town Currency to be Sustained. —At
the citizens’ meeting in the Court-house, at 7
o’clock, a. m., Nov. 12, 1573, Capt. J. M. Ponder
(in the absence of Mayor T. B. Cataniss) was
called to the chair, and Andrew Dunn chosen
Secretary.
The Chairman having called upon Mr. J. R.
Banks, that gentleman explained that the object
of the meeting was to take decisive steps to sus
tain the currency iu the emergency of an adverse
decision by the Courts; aud also pledging per
sonally to pay the taxes that may be assessed by
the City Council, in carrying out the contract en
tered into by the City Council and 6ur bankers
and brokers, faithfully and to the letter. Captain
8 D. Mobley, at the request of tue meeting, gave
a full and succinct statement ot the issuing of the
currency, the steps taken to make it a sale circu
lating medium.
On motion to appoint a committee of seven to
report business for tue meeting, the Chair ap
pointed J. R. Banks, Monroe Clower, Geo. A.
Cabuniss, Jell. Dumas, W. A. Banks, Jeff. Hogan,
E. M. Amos.
The Committee, having retired lor consultation,
returned, and through the chairman reported the
following resolutions:
Wbereas, certain citizens of Forsyth have re
cently tiled a bill seeking to enjoin the collection
ol (axes by the City Council oi Forsyth, aud the
circulation, by the Council, oi the currency of the
town, and said case has not yet been decided by
the Court; and
Whereas, it is the fixed determination ot the
undersigned citiz ns of the town, to make the
curt envy good iu any event, without, regard to
any decision regarding its validity, aud
tulu, by all means in our power, the confidence ot
the public in said circulation;
De it resolved. That we hereby bind ourselves
to pay such taxes as may be levied by the town
Council to redeem the currency ot the town, iu
accordance with its contract, and #e turther bind
ourselves to receive, as usual, such currency for
merchandise sold by us, aud lor all claims due to
us.
Resolved, further, That our confidence in the
currency is unimpaired, and we declare it to be
our judgment and conviction, as business men,
that it is pertectly sate, aud is without exception
as good a local currency as we have ever known.
Resolved, luriher, That the said currency is
worthy of, and should iccciv., the u: qualified
confidence and endorsement ol the public, and
that we, whose signatures are hereunto affixed,
do bind ourselves fully to carry out these resolu
tions aud agreement to make it good.
Be it turther resolved, That we cordially invite
to co-operate with us, those of our fellow-citizens
who have differed with ua in the past, and who
have instituted the proceedings referred to in
these resciutious.
Rev. D. J. My rick made a few earnest, praci
eal remaik* upon the currency, its istue. aud use,
•stiil .-peaking of the liiora! question involved,
plainly demonstrated that uo citizen, wuo voted
lor the currency nud approved the contract be
tween the City Council and the baukers aud bro
kers, could refuse to submit to taxation, to carry
out in good faith the contract without dishonor,
even should the decision of the Court be averse.
Au importunity was thea given to sign the rvs
oluti ns and the pledges, which was responded
to with an alacrity not often witnessed.

This excellent combination of art-n'c novelties,
zoological attraction, and museum wonders, will
exhibit in our city on the 12th of December. The
wonderful success obtained by this truly South
ern show, is not only wonderful, but indeed start
ling. Oiganized in the city of Atlanta only a few
years ago, by gentlemen o! no reputation as show
men, and but Utile experience in the business, it
has made character for excellence and superiority
by no means confined to this continent, but
world-wide. With a grand combination of leap
ers, vaulters, tumblers, and riders, of world-wide
fame, the most choice aDd elegant array of horses,
with every species of strange, wonderful and
mysterious animals, from the jungles of South
America to the deserts of Africa, there is no rea
son why the exhibition should not be worthy of
seeing, when considered from a temporal stand
point. There may be reasons of a moral charac
ter why many should not go to the show. As we
are the keepers of no man’s conscience, every one
must 'act as duty dictates. To those, however,
who have no conscientious scruples on this ques-.
tlon, we say frankly, from the opinions of the
press, that all will be pleased and amused by at
tending thie grand exhibition.
Important.—A6 a matter of general informa
tion, and for the benefit of those interestad, we
publish below the 4800th section of the Code of
Georgia, which says:
No person after having executed a mortgage deed
to personal property (cotton, stocks, &c.) shall be
permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of the same
with intent to defraud the mortagee unless the
consent of the mortagee be first obtained before
payment ot the indebtedness for which the mort
gage deed was executed; and if auy person shall
violate the provisions of this section, aud loss
is sustained by tue holder of the mortgage, the
offender shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor
aud upon conviction thereof shall be punished
by a fine double the sum or debt which 6aid mort
gage was given to secure; and upon failure to pay
said fine immediately, the person so couvicted
shall be imprisioned io the common jail lor a pe
riod ot not less than six nor more than 12 months.

terprising aud successful firm, live recently re
