A letter for John H. Cnrry, Maoon, ia
held for postage in the Augusta office.
Hon. das. H. Blount.—We And these
tleascnt and well deserved worda about
£la gentleman in a late Indian Springs
Setter to the Savannah News from Mr.
XiohardfOD, it* eity editor:
I have had the pleasure of forming the
acquaintance of Hon. James H. Blount.
Bep resec latlve in Corgrees from the Fifth
dietriot, who has been here for the past
week recuperating. He is very popular
here, and I learn throughout the entire
district, having been returned to Congress
four times. He is a clear headed, prac
tical, earnest gentleman. «nd,tuor'onghly
alive to the wants ef his district, wbioh
be represents with ability and honor.
Savannah owes ranch to Mr, Blount for
fats efforts in securing an additional ap
propriation for the harbor, at the session
of the last Congress.
Ansrrrran —We have in our possession
a letter from Comptroller General Gold-
flmitc tojing that a oertain sheriff who
odvertieed wild lands in the Dispatch
last year did charge three dollars and fifty
«ants per lot as advertising fees, and that
bis account had been oredited in the
Comptroller General’s office with that
amount on every lot of land sold. The
aggregate, we suppose, is over fourteen
hundred dollars. Our actual charges
were leas than seventy.fiva dollars, and
the sheriff bad no receipt or bill from us
for any larger sum.
The wholo tbiog is an outrage, and we
cannot see bow the Comptroller could
have allowod the sheriff such a sum in tl e
settlement of his aeoonnt, unless the sher
iff could have shown a receipt for it.
The Comptroller, in our opinion, should
have demanded a voucher from the sher
iff, or have refased to allow him such an
exorbitant sum for advertising fees.
We have the faots and figures.
Oatebpillars in Mitchell Ocunty
—The News makes this report on the
stews anbjrot:
Mr. G. M. Bacon says there are thou?,
ands of caterpillars on his cotton. He
sent out a gang of "trash hands” the
other day with small tin cups, and of
fered them ten oents a cup for all the
worms they gathered. In a few minutes
one of the little fellows ran baok to empty
oup No. 1. Mr. Bacon says he saw bank
ruptcy staring him in the face, oalled in
the trash hands, changed the proposition
to tea oents a pint, and turned his whole
force to piokteg off che worms. This
ehowa to what extent they are troubling
him. While it is tine that the oornorop
has been out off very seriously, we have
only found a few planters who will have
to Duy. They will all plant heavily of
•mall grain, and thna make ends meet.
The Aueusa Chronicle lsarns that “Er
Governor Brown did not favor voting
from the Stato University land scrip fued
two thousand dollars annnally to branch
agricultural colleges, and made a strong
speech in the session of the Board of
Trnstces against it. The project was fa
vored by Jadge James Jackson and Hon.
1. H- Stephens, both of whom made
peeohes, and Governor Erown finally
Igreed to withdraw his opposition if Mil-
cdgevllle was included, which was done.”

Ksvxrkino to the deith of Mrs.
Emory Speer, cf that place, the Athens
Banner pays a richly merited tribute to
her memory. It says thit "through
out our entire community, and indeed
wherever abb was known, she was most
bigblv esteemed and greatly beloved.
The drata of no one ia our midst could
have brought more genuine and heart
felt sorrow to a larger and more attached
circle of loving and admiring friends.
She waa the daughter of Col. A. P. Dear-
iag, of Athens.’
The Brunswick Board of Health has
still further tightened the quarantined
knot dawn there. It has made another
rule, says the Advertiser, prohibiting any
vessel visiting our port that shall have
been in Havana, Cuba, any time between
the 1st of July and 1st of November,
atthougn said vessel may have made
other voyages since and at time of visit
bails from a healthy port.”
The B*me paper notes a big watermelon
yield in Pierce county and then very
naturally grumbles because the editor
was not remembered in the usual way. It
says:
"Mr. J. M, Shaw planted a half.aore of
land ia watermelons, and ha3 palled from
it np this date, 700 melons, for whioh he
has reoeived $100 dear of transportation.
He also planted two hills separate from
this patch, which ho anltivated differently,
and has palled from these two hills 700
pounds of melons, for which he reoeived
$5 at home. Tho largest ons weighed
52 pounds.”
The Atlanta Dispatch h&3 these items:
Ruby Lee, the frail daughter, who was
taken from a honse of ill-repute in Macon
and married Johnnie Booker, the clario
net player of the J8;h infantry band, waa
left here by her husband without funds.
She seems to have loved Booker, and
proved it by following him to Fort Assin-
iboiii, Montana Terxitory, sometimes rid
ing, sometimes on the back of a mule.
After a .long and perilous journey she
surprised' her husband by walking into
camp a few days ago.
IuPsaonaiENT seems to bo the order of
the day. Rumors of an Aaron Barr con
spiracy are afliat, and Atlanta is getting
lively. Official?, both city and S’ate, are
now restless, and some of them no dmbt
have cause to bs. Official corruption is to
have a thorough airieg. Who next ?
Hast county evidently needs a fence
and stock law. Tho Sun is warm in the
advocacy of tush a measure, and instan
ces the fact, that a public sale la that
at a public sale in that county last week,
a cow, with a good bell and leather collar,
on that wa3 worth $1.75 altogether, only
bronght one dollar. A large ox sold for
one dollar, and a good young ox, that
plowed well and worked well in shafts,
only brought tbs insignificant earn ot
three dollars—all on long credit. So
much for a county that lets its stock run
ont. :

On the subject cf the law in regard to
carryir g concealed weapons, the Greens
boro B trail makes this extraordinary ar
gument:
We : ire apt to target there are two
aides 11 tui* question. We lose sight of
the th< tboaiiad instances in whioh life
is save 1 and property p otccted from the
Attack of the rotbsr or the 39-asin by the
timely me or the exhibition of a deadly
weapon. Oaly a few days since, soon
after ;he recent mnrdets in Fulton, a
persoa in an adjoining county, saved his
life.or property,or it may ba botb.from the
Assault of a Bet of tramps, by tho use of
a pistol. We aro constantly hearing of
such oscs. Yet a person who arms him
self for a defense against robbery or as-
taaiination should be punished indisorim-
uatt 1/ with the black leg, who is armed
ar no such motive ! Is this reason or
asticer—Bull it is the law. But itia said
he law applies to concealed weapons. With
out stopping to show the inconvenience
mo otten the impracticability of aiwaya
Saving one's means of defenoe exposed to
view, we will say right here that we
Hfcv=r yet saw the sense or the shadow of
a reasou in concluding that there is more
tis age ia one’s using p conceited weapon
than one exposed—more danger in his
drawing a pistol from his pocket, than
there would be if he had it strapped out
side. You can not stop the vicious from
violating this law; then why deprive the
honest of this means of defense? We
trust then that the Legislature, instead
of throwing away time by making the
law on this snbjeot more stringent, will
either wipe ont what is in existence, or
so modify It as to give honesty an eaual
6howing with raecality.
The Meriwether Vindicator "norates,”
and evidently with considerable gusto,
the following:
Ia the iron-olad guano notes that farm
ers are required to give in these latter
days, is a danse stipulating that if the

pay the lawyer’s fee. In tbe 7th distriot

cases, ont down tho attorney’s fee below
aotual cost. In a case of $30 they allow
ed him 10 per cent., when he bad been
compelled to attend court two or three
times locking after the case, his bnggy
and horse hire amounting to more than
the fee realized. "Phancy the Phoelinks”

The LaGrange Rporter says the Ran.
gas emigration fever prevails much more
extensively among the negroes in that
seotion than is generally supposed. Many
of them would start at onoe, if they could
see their way clear. A big emigration
meeting wa3 held last week in Randolph
county, Ala., just acro33 the Georgia
line, whioh was largely attended, and at
wnich Radical ex-Congressman of that
State made a speech.
The IsrpxACEirsNT Manage M.—The
Atlanta Post photographs them ns fol
lows:
Hon. Henry G. Turner, of Brooks,
received nearly every vote cast, ia a gen
tleman of modest mien, and posse
mind of great analytical power. As a
lawyer, he occupies a high position. In
polilios, he is tair-minded, conscientious
and true. He is comparatively a young
man, end an acknowledged leader.
Hon. W. M. Hammond, of Thomas, is
one of the most polished, eloquent and
forcible speakers of the State, and has
been aptly termed the *‘silver-tongned
orator.” His sentences are inoiaire and
impreeeive. In integrity and ability he
has no superior, and like Aristides, he is
jnatand impartial in the elucidation of
truth.
Hon. C. D. Phillips, of Cobb, is a
prominent politioian of Northern Georgia.
He has occupied important positions sat
isfactorily to tho people. He is a lawyer
of ackaowledged ability, and with bis
temperament the State will have her in
terests well gaarded.
Hon. J. H. Polhill, of Jefferson, is a
man of portly physique and commanding
presence. Bluff and genial, ths great
force of his character is not seen at onoe.
His character is well rounded, and bis
great ability will never be exercised to
oppress the innocent or shield the guilty.
Hon. W. L. Pike, of Jaoksoo, is a law
yer of local prominenos, good humored
and fair minded. He is a yonng man of
prudence and oantion, and will likely gov
ern hiaoonduoteoas to do equal and ez»
aot justice.
Hon. R. M- Davie, of Houston, is of a
strong nervon3 temperament, energetic
and bold and unswerving in tbe discharge
of what be may oonaider to be bis duty.
He will doubtless engage in the trial with
all the vigor of his inteileot and strength
of his judgment.
Hun. A. Pratt Adams, of Chatham, is
fiaent and graoefnl speaker, clear
headed and gentle hearted. Ha wields a
keen-edged Dampens blade in debate,
and yet would soora anything unfair. As
a yonng man he exeiotses a strong influ
ence over the General Assembly, becanae
he is liberal minded and jnst.
We credit th e following to ihe last is
sne of our neighbor, the Wesleyan Chris
iian Advocate:
Gov. Colquitt’s Vindication.—The
Wesleyan gave its opinion when the in
famous insinuations against the honor
and integrity of Governor Colquitt first
saw tho light, and denounced the bad
men that invented and issued them. Tbe
Governor did right in demanding an in
vestigation by tbe General Assembly.
The General Assembly did right in meet
ing the demand. The investigation was
made thoroughly and both Houses vin
dicate the Governor absolutely. Nothing
else could be expected.
Is is not often that so pare a man fills a
high oivil office, and it is not surprising
that bad men should hate him. There
were men in Athena wbo could not bear
to look upon Ariatides. Corrupt men
have always hated pare men. They
"oalled the Master of tbe hqnse Beelza-
bnb” and crucified Him between "two
thieves.” "How mnoh more will they
call them of His household Beelzsbub J”
Not a single one of the mean and cow
ardly accusations and innendoes that
bare been made against tbe Governor en
dures the light of day. The Governor
stands acquitted before his people in ev
ery point. * It we mistake not tbe people
are in no humor to see each a man kick
ed ont and down by men who are not
worthy to nnlooss the latchet of his
shoes.
If the subscriber who recently ordered
tho Wesleyan discontinued because its
editor bas seen fit to defend Governor
Colquitt, will borrow from a friend this
iesne, he may learn that we have not yet
changed onr views. In our opinion it is
a most religions work to defend good
men against: slander and defamation. In
"spreading Scripture 1 , holiness over these
lands, ’ something is to be done besides
writing abstract articles on the doctrines
of santification. It is well sometimes to
say a word for truth and jas'.ico in the
ooncrete.
The Bacon Bill—The Repeal or the
Alston Law.—Two important measures
will be settled by the Georgia Legisla
ture—the bill prepared by Mr. Speaker
Bacon, to expedite the trial of men ac
cused of murder; and the bill to repeal
what is known as the "Alston Law”—the
law, which leaves to juries to decide
whether a convicted murderer may not
be confined to the penitentiary for life,
instead of being hanged. Tee Alston
Law practically abrogates capital punish-
ishment m Georgia. It will never do.
We believe that the great body of tbe peo
ple are heartily in favor of Mr. Bacon’s
bill, and in far or of the repeal of the
Alston law. They feel that tbe passage
of the one and ihe repeal of the other
- re absolutely indispensable. We en
treat oar legislators to consider these
matters well. Nothing will promote
lynch-la w like a deep seated feeling among
the people that the State government can
not, or will not protect them.

Historical Sfteleh of Howard
District and the tfcmalgee
Farmers* Club.
Read by 3. W. Lundy, Esq., before the Club
August 1st, 1879-1
After the settlement cf the oounty,
Vtneville soon became a populous village,
and wsb ont off from Howard’s and form
ed into a separate district.
Soon after the perfection of the Indian
Springs Treaty, Major Tarply Holt came
over from Putnam oounty and settled
where Wo.' Johnston resides. He
bronght with him a few negroes, cleared
some land, built several log cabins, and
made a corn crop on his place in the year
1821. At Christmas, the Major moved
his family to their new home. This was
the first settlement in the heighborhood,
and it wad made two years before the
first house wa3 built, west of the Ocmnl
gee, at Maoon.
Daring the next year (1822) Dr. James
Myrick moved from Baldwin oonnty to
Bibb, and settled tbe place now owned
by his ecr, J. W. Myriok.
About tne eame time Timothy Mat
thews settled the Bowman place, Mrs.
Flewellen, the place now owned byRjb-
ert Coleman, and Ben B. Lamar, the
Park place. Other settlers came in rap
id encceeBioD, and very soon every
“Square” of land had its occupant. In
the New Purchase Lottery no one was
allowed to draw m—<* •ho»> a tat of 202}
acres, and no fortunate drawer in any
other Lottery was permitted .0 partici
pate in this. Tu» u.ot, „ U uaea wero rude
log cabins, it being impossible at that
time to obtain lumber with which to
build framed onea.
Someatime during the year 1822,
James Herring bought from Dr. Myrick
10 acres of lot No. 192, which contained
a mill site on Beaverdam (nek, and
erected thereon a mill, at which the lum
ber for building tbe main dwellings of
the Johnson, Park, Myrick, Bowman and
other places in the settlement was saw
ed. At this mill Tarpley Reas, a son of
the distinguished Maoon merchant, the
late J. B. Rose, was drowned. Thi3 oc
curred many years after the mill was
built.
The residence now occupied by E. W.
Howard was built by James Lamar, and
was the first to bs painted. For a long
time it was known and distinguished
throughout tho community as the"White
Honse.”
Maj. Tarpley Holt, the father of onr
distinguished fellow oitlzan and former
neighbor, Gon. Wa. S. Holt, was, like
most of onr early settlers, a native of the
“Old Dominion." He was a leading
man in this neighborhood, and a man
that would have been prominent in any
community. He represented Bibb ooun
ty with ability in the Legislature, and
held other offices of honor and trust. At
one time ho commanded the forces at
Fort Hawkins. He died at the place
where he built the first honse in the set
tlement^ ta'1840, and lies bnried bat a
few rods from the olnb room. I took the
following from the inscription on his
tomb: "Born in Yirginia, he died May
the 26tb, 1840, is the 63rd year of his
age.”
The Lunars, Bsnjjmia B. Limar,
James Lamar and Henry G. Lamar, were
brothers and the sons of the venerable
John Lamar, formerly of Jones county.
They wero all liberally educated, and
were men of prominence and wealth.
Benjamin B. Lamar was a Baptist min
ister. He, as before stated, settled the
placo now owned by Capt. R. E. Park,
anion a corner of one of the lota he once
owned, cur olub room ia built. He re
moved from Georgia to Alabama and
died there. Col. Henry J. Lamar, his
only surviving sen and a prominent plan
ter. merchant and financier, now resides
in Vineville.
Dr. Jame3 Myiink was born in South
Hampton county, Va., February 28th,
1788. He removed to Georgia in the
year 1809. and resided in Baldwin coun
ty until 1822, when he again moved and
settled himself in Bibb county, where,
as before stated, he was one of the first
eettlere in Howard’s District.
Dr. Myrick waa noted throughout tbe
community in whioh he lived tor hie
earnest and consistent piety. He devo
ted almost his entire time to ^service
in the cause of religion.
“He watch’d and wept, ha felt and pray’d, for
He tried each art, reproved each dull delay.
Allured to brighter worlds and led tne w*y/
He died at hid home July 23th, 1865,
in the 78th year of his age.
The early settlers were not indifferent
to the importance of schools. One of the
first publio acts of the neighborhood, or
settlement, as it wai then called, waa the
building of a school house.
It was a log structure aid was loca
ted a few yards west of Damsscue
Church.
There is not a log or s.oso of the
building left to mark the place where it
waa built, but the site is denoted by a
large oak wbioh stood by if, and still
stands aa its living monument.
A3 scon a s the site lor the Academy
had been selected, and even before the
timbers for the building were cut, thit
ub quitioua servant of God, the Metho
dist circuit rider, found the spot and
with a stump for his pulpit, and the
b rughs of “that giant oak” for a roof, he
calhi) sinners to repentance, and warned
thorn of tho wrath to come.
Here, after the building waa eraoted, it
was the custom of the male members of
tho settlement to meet on stated Satur
days in each month, as a "Debating So
ciety,” and after the disputed question ot
the day was decided, the assembly was
changed into an agricnltnral club, which
was oalled the O. F. Club. This was
perhaps tbe first, or,among the first, or
ganizations of the kind ever formed in
Georgia.
At this place Judge S. B. Hunter, Gen.
Wo. S. Holt, -Sinfold Tippet and others
were teaohers.
Tho littlo log school honse soon be
came inadequate to the wants of the
community, and a commodious framed
building was erected near by, which was
styled the “County Line Aoademy.” A
church was also built and was called
“MaUhewsb’s Meeting Honse.” This
gave way, in the year 1859, to tbe pres
ent beautiful little building, which waB
erected at a coat of sixteen hundred dol
lars, and was dedicated ss "Damascus
Church.”
In the church yard at Damascus there
is a monument of poplar wood whioh de
serves a passing notice, from the fsot of
its being one of the interesting an
tiquities of the District. The monument
or head board in question is a slab about
four feet high by two wide, and marks,
as is supposed, the first grave made is the
burial ground. The letteiB on the mon
ument are very much obliterated, bnt
with tbe aid of a skillful assistant I man
aged to decipher a part of the inscription.
It it this:
To tho Sacred Memory
oi
Roland Parrum,
Woo departed this life, Jane 30th, 1828.
The monument is in a v.orderfol state
of preservation to have withstood the
ravages of lime for fiity-one years.
Toe old Academy was given to the
oolored people of theneighbtrhood a few
years ago. They moved it about a quar
ter of a mile and now use it as a p ace
of worship.
WASHINGTON ACADEMY.
Washington Academy, situated on
the Forsyth road about ten miles from
Macon, was chartered December 2G:h,
1826. Needham Mims, John Lamar,
Benjamin B. Lamar, David G. Worsham
and Henry G. Lamar are named in the
charter aa Trustees of the Academy.
Samuel B. Hunter and the late Jadge
Barney Hill' tanght there when the
Academy was in a flourishing condition.
There has beea no school at Washington
Aoademy for many years. The school
honse has been moved away, and
a freed man’s oabin now oooupies the
sits.
LAKE ACADEMY.
December 223, 1826, Lake Aoademy
was incorporated. Luke J. Morgan,
Thomas Lundy, Henry Andolf and Oli
ver EL Prince being named as Trustees,
in the act of incorporation.
The house and the acte of lanl upon
whioh it ia loca’ed, was conoi'ionaj^y d >-
nated to the community by Thomas
Lundy. The corner stone of the build
ing was laid by the Uasonic Fraternity,
the following account of which is taken
from the minutes of the lodge which of
ficiated:
"August 5 th; 1826, the corner stone
of Lake Aoademy was laid by the Macon
Lodge, No. 5.
A. Baker, W. Master.
A. G. Clopton, 8. Warden.
N. Barker, J. Warden.
Simri Rose, Secretary.
S. Scone, S. Deaconl
M. Simnon, J. Deacon.
J. R. Bennett, Tyleir.
Luke J. Morgan, Principal Architect.
W. A. Rivelen, Assistant Architect.
Rev. Thomas Gardne*, Chaplain.
Rev. Lot Jones, Orator.
John S. Childers, Marshal.
Tbe Lodge met at the honse of Henry
Audolpb, (now R. F. Ousley’t) form
ed end marched to the Academy lot.”
The bnilding was finibhed September
13th, 1826. The "conditions” referred
to in the deed of gift were these: "The
Academy edifice, when not wanted for
the use of the school, is to be open as a
place of worship, equally to all religions
denominations, and if not used for a
school for five conseoutive years, it shall
reverb te the donor or his heirs.”
The first teacher at Lake Academy
was John Danforth. He was the father
of the lat9 Jacob R. Danfortb, a Methc
diet minister, a school teacher and a man
of mneh learning, who wa3 well known
in this community and often preaohed at
Damascns Church.
Alexander McDonald, brother of the
Governor, and familiarly known as "Lit
tle Mack,” Wm. F. Hall, Wm. P. Green
all men of education and ability, were
also teachers at “the Lake.”
The Academy was without a school at
one time for six or seven years, and thns
tbe property reverted to the heirs of the
donor, bnt no interference has ever been
made with those who wish to have
schools, or to hold religions services in
the bnilding.
Thomas Lundy, the donor, and Charles
J. McDonald who drew tho condi
tional deed, descended from those who
had been driven to America by the civil
wars and religions persecutions, which,
two.'hundred years ago, prevailed in Eng
land and Sootland.
Civil and religions liberty were daly
appreciated by them, and hence the con
ditional clanso named, in reference to re
ligious freedom.
Charles James McDonald, named by
his father in honor of the brothers,
Charles and James, Kings of England,
was a lineal descendant of old Alexander
McDonald, so shamefully murdered at
the massacre of Glencoe, by the minions
of the Prince of Orange.
Lake Academy was so culled from a
small lake, situated on lot No. 350, near
where the Forsyth and river road3
fork.
Thi3 lot of land wus owned, at the
time of whioh we write, by Maj. L. J.
Morgan. He and Thomas Lundy drain
ed the lake in 1830, aa it waa supposed to
affeob the health of the community.
Major Morgan was a tative Virginian
He moved from Wilkea county, Georgia,
to Bibb, and settled the place where
Wm. Oison now lives.
Oliver H Prince is a name well known
in Georgia. He represented at one time
the Senatoiiil District to which B.bb
county belonged, in tho State Senate.
Ho ia principally known, however, as
the author of Prinoo's Digest Liw3 of
Georgia.* He waB among the early pat.
rona of Like Aoademy.
Thomas Lundy waa born in Dinwiddie
eonnty, near Petertbarg, Virginia, Da
camber 7th, 1781. Hs removed to Geor
gia and settled first at Mt. Zion, Hancock
eonnty. In 1825 he came to Bibb, and
settled tho place now owned by W. J.
McElroy. He died Feb. 23rd, 1831.
Charles J. McDonald settled the place
now owned by Asher Ayres, about the
year 1825, where he remained for a num
ber of years, and patronized tho eohool
at the Aoademy.
OOMDLQEB HIVES, FJ5BEIE3 AND FISHEB-
XES.
When tho "New Purchase” was first
settled by tbe whites, the Ocmnlgee riv
er, which formB the eastern boundary
line of tbe District, was a very different
stream from what it now is.
Then its waters were as clear as any
mountain rill or piney-wood stream, and
abonnded m the choicest kinds of fUb.
Perch, tront and shad conld be canght
in abundance. The fish are not so nu
merous now, bnt tho water power re
mains unchanged—the Ocmnlgee fnr-
uiehes in the District enough of that, if
atilized, to grind all the g tain and spin
and weave all tho cotton that is raised
within a radios of a hundred miles.
This may some day be pnt to service,
and a Lowell or a Manchester be built
within sight of "Ocmnlge9 Hall.”
Joshua Harris moved from Virginia to
Georgia about the time of tbe great ex
odus from that section, which so qntokly
populated Hancock county. Ho came
along with the tide of immigrat'd until
it reached Bibb oonnty, and settled al
most immediately on the line of Jones
and Bibb, on the east side ot the river.
Harris kept a ferry jnst below the Wim-
bush Shoal, and also had a "Seine
Beach,” which at that time was very
profitable.
He was a well-to-do farmer, waB very
fond of hunting, and usually kept fifteen
or twenty fine specimens of the old fash
ion 8 tag hound.
He frequently cam9 nerosa ths river
and hunted with Dr. Myrick, the Rain
ses, Fl? welly ns and others.
Many « fine chase has tho party had
along Woll and Savage creeke, and
among the hu»fcleberry branches south of
tho Libratory after the antlered bnok.
Joshua Harris has, p-rhaps, shore baes
. and more pigeons tea 11 any man in the
State. He removed fmru Bibb to Euly
county, Georgia.
The moat extensive anil most widely
known fishery on the river was at the
Wicked Shoals.
Opposite fraction lot No. 345, there is
a succession of shoals and falls near to
gether.
At these shoals Needham Mims, Luke
J. Morgan, C. W- Rainea and others had
fisheries. People came from far aid
near to purchase fish, and daring the
shad season both sides of the river look
ed like a oamp meeting, for shad were
sold by the wagon load, eight to the dol
lar or a seven-penoe apiece. Here all
sort of people assembled, and gambling
became very fashionable, as it is, too often
at our fashionable watering places.
Here the celebrated Bennett, wity his
"Thimble Game,” U9ed to play hia vo- a .
tion. It waa very natural to oall thh
place the "Wioked Shoals.”
Oar former mnoh reap: cted folio w citizen,
Maj. W. D. Williams, told an amusing an
ecdote of his experience there daring his
boyhood. His mother, living in Jones
county, sent him horseback, and armed
with a good sized wallet to purchase fish.
They were plentiful and cheap.
There was as nsnal a large crowd on
hand. B.nnett was there manipulating
the t&imblea. Major, then a mere boy,
watched the game with attentive inter
est. He srw him more the thimbles
about, and pnt a grain of corn under one.
"I’ll bet any man a dollar that he can’t
toll which tbimble ’be corn ia under.”
The Major said: "I MW the corn put
under the thimble ana lojked npon it ae
a dead sure thing, and I thought I had
juat as well make a dollar that way as
any other and quickly responded, ‘I’ll
take that bet.’ ‘Plank down your mon
ey, sir,’ says Bennett, and I did plank
down some of the money I bronght to
buy fish with.” The thimble waa raised,
and sure enough the grain of earn was
net there. “Yon mnst look sharp yonng
man and try your look again—watch the
game a little and yon will ba more ex-
pjrt," was the consolation that the
t harper gave onr hero as he pocketed
the money. He did watch for some time
without betting, guessed right tvsry
time. It cconrred to him tha*. he ought
to win hia money back and a little more,
too, ae be had studied the game dud felt
like one of the "knowing ones.” Bun-
nett hocussed-pooussed again end called
for another- bat. Major put down his
pilaard lost. Said he, "I was morlifisd,
ashamed to go home without fish, and I
did not like the idea of facing my moth
er.” Some gentlemen present, seeing
hia distress, filled hia wallet with ehai
and sent Mm on his way rejoioing, a wi
ser if not a better boy.
Many years thereafter, Major oame
with bis family to Bpend the day at our
house. Some of us went with him to
visit the soene of hia boyish adventure,
and he told the story with that inimita
ble humor for whioh he was celebrated.
Half a mile above Wicked Shoals and
opposite Fractional lot No. 344, just
above the month of Langford creek, was
a ferry.
It was established by Mullins, then
sold to Samuel Tompkins, Eubseqaently
it was kept by James Boqnemore. This
was a popular ferry, and at one time it
ranted for $1,000 a year. H. H.
Howard, who married a daughter of
Sam Tompkins, had a grocery store on
the Bibb side of the river, and, for a
while, waa ferryman. Here Bennyan
Howard, while under the infinence of
“spirits,” jumped into the river with hia
clothes on, to race with the ferry boat,
and was drowned. Near this ferry are
now traces of tho old Indian trail, mark
ed on the Land Surveyor’s Plot, and
signs of an Indian town, and the wig.
warn where some cld expert made and
repaired arrow heads.
A MUBEKLITB.
Between the Ferry and Shoals are aev
eral islands. There is also a splendid
spring, which gashes from a rock in
deep gorge within a few feet of the riv
er.
Near the spring there is a large cave
to be entered from the side next the river.
There is a well established tradition that
in this cave, one ot.the clan of John A.
Muriel, the famous Temessee robber
who was gs notorious in this country for.
ty or fifty years ago, as Claude naval
or William Nevison were in the 17ch cen
tury, concealed a horse that he had stol
en fromsome one then living on part of
the land now owned by Robert Coleman.
The Mnrrelite had first stolen a negro
man, hia wife and child and concealed
them on the largest one of the islands
jnst above Wioked Shoals. They were
destined for the Mississippi swamp, Mnr-
rel’s headquarters, to be sold and restol
en as often a3 practicable, according to
the usual practice of the Clan, with the
promise of a division of the money and of
being carried to a free State, but really,
to use Marrel’s words, "dead men tell no
tales,” they were to ba eventually mur
dered, ripped < ft in, filled with stones and
thrown into some convenient stream. In
this instance, the horse, a large one, with
a peculiarly marked foot, was tracked to
the cava and recovered, the robbsr fled
and the negroes came ont from the hiding
place and were restored to their owners
Hence the name, “Nigger Island," was
given to the island nearest the northeast
bank of tbe river, which it has ever Einee
bsrne. There was another ferry above
Mullins’ called Latvia* Ferry. Here
many of the first comers of the “New
Purchase” crossed the Ocmuigee. There
was a store on the bank of the river near
the Ferry, which was need aa a private
trading post with the Indians and with
the frontier .men of Jones oounty. The
stock of goods and the store house be.
longed to a man who lived in Sparta,
Hancock county, and employed the ferry-
mao, William Waller, to superintend his
business. Waller must have been an un
principled scamp, for he deserted hi3
wife and marritd an Indian squaw, in or
der to become popular with her tribe and
secure their trade. On Saturday night
daring the Harrison freshe f , William
Waller, n man by the name of Heyser,
James El wards and a negro were in the
store. Tho white men were drinking
and gambling at.a late fccur in Ihe night,
when tbe water rosem the store.
They climbed into the loft, the water
followed them there, and ‘hey crawled
out on top of the house, which aooa
floated down tho river for some distance
and lodged agiin3t a tree, where, on the
next day tho neighbors beheld the extra
ordinary spectacle of a honse floating cn
the river with four men astride the top.
Elwards was very much frightened, and
p-ayed incessantly, Hejssr, who had
seized the jug of whiskey at the first ap
proach of the water and still clung to it,
oalled to the people that had assembled
on the bank, ‘‘For God sake save Ed-'
wards, I’m all right,” as he imbibed
’salvation” frem his “little brown jug.”
Lumber was procured and a beat built,
but no en6 could bs found who wonld
venture to go to the relief cf the house
wracked men nntil Tuesday morning,
when Ell, a faithful servant belonging to
Edwards, arrived. He, withont hesita
tion, seiz-d tho boat and rescued his mas
ter and hia companions from their peri-
Ions situation. These men had cothiog
to eat from Saturday night nntil Tuesday
morning, and had lived during that time
on Heyser’s jng of spirits, which he
clang to nntil the last. The house went
to pieces«nd the men climbed the tree
against which it had drifted.
This w&3 washed tip, as was also sev
eral other trees into which they had
imbe'% before the boat was brought to
their relief. •
Ten ycar3 ago that same faithful ne
gro, Bll Elwards, and there were many
like him in onr Sonthern country, wsb
living, end was much respected by ell
who knew him.
