Back akd Front Chapters in the Life of the
Confidence Man, L. W. Kikbky, So-Called—
Him operations in Augusta and Burke County
—He Cheats Kven Lawyers in this City, Etc ,
Etc.—We have been put in possession of further
rich developments in regard to the Bogus Insurance
Agent and scoundrel, L. W. Kirbey, who came
well nigh cheating Thomas H. Hill out of $7.7
the other day, by issuing a spurious policy upon
his Cin House, the facts of which were detailed in
Wednesday’s Journal and Messenger.
lie was in Augusta several weeks ago playing his
avocation as a swindler. The report says lie one
afternoon perpetrated a cheat, ran to the river and
jumped on hoard a steam boat just as she wasswiug
ing loose from the wharf and starting for Savan
nah. lie made for the Captain, took him aside and
confidentially told him lie hud just been engaged in
a fight with some negroes, thought he had killed
one, hail run for his boat, and had no time to pro
vide himself with luggage or money; that if he
went back the enraged negroes would mob and kill
him ; and that if he would trust him for his passage
lie would send back from Savannah to Augusta, get
liis money and clothes, aud [>ay him. To all of
which the skipper agreed. But all this story was
trumped up to cheat the boat out of the passage
money. As soon as the boat got to Savannah, this
Aminadab Sleek gave the Captain the slip, opera
ted around Savannah a few days, and then, Liking
the Central train, came up to Burke county. Ar
rived there, he put up as a Freedinon’s Bureau
Agent, and commenced the business of cheating
aqd swindling negroes. He was soon detected and
given a peremptory order to leave immediately—
“ to stand not on the order of liis going, hut go at
onee.” He walked off, and after traveling some
distance, came to the house of a man named Wil
son, in tlie edge of Burke county. Stopping, he
pretended to be very sick, and asked Mr. W. to
take care of him until he got better. Mr. Wilson
assented and gave him a room. Watching his op
portunity, the rascal robbed tlie house ancl fled to
the railroad. Taking the Central train, he came to
Macon and commenced the Insurance business, as
heretofore stated, lie got one of our Agents to go
bis security for a week's board at tlie Flint House,
where he still was yesterday.
As soon as the article in Wednesday’s Journal
and Messenger appeared, he waxed exceeding
wrath around the Flint House, declared he was in
jured to the extent of SIO,OOO, intended to sue the
uffico for libel, but was willing to compromise ou
$5,1X10 damages, and nothing short. He bolted to the
office of Weems A Gallagher, and requested them
to commence action. Inquiring into the “case,”
they soon discovered that tlie facts were dead
out against Him, and then advised that he publish a
defence in the city papers. ’ He requested Col. G.
to write out tlie document for him, for and in con
sideration of tlie sum of $7 cash—on delivery. Tlie
Colonel wrote it out, and when finished, Kirbey in
nocently remarked lie would hand him the money
that evening. But that didn’t exactly suit; the
document was held, and Kirbey left. That \ was,
at last accounts, still mm eottMiibmia swimpibttx up
a-Mvmpo, with unfordablc waters all around the
stumpo.
in a few lionrs after this transaction he turned
up in the oilier of Jack White, President of the
Macou and Western Railroad, as Guellimo Koscius
ko, and nephew of (leu. John B. Gordon. He had
been traveling In Florida for his health, had got as
far back as Macon, was unfortunately out of cash,
and, arriving at the point, wanted credit for a ticket
to Atlanta, where he was sure of getting plenty of
money from his distinguished uncle, when the
trifling little matter of passage money would be
paid. But the President couldn’t bcc it in those
lamps, lie had very serious doubts about Gen.
Gordon’s having relatives in the Kosciusko family,
and told him he had better step into the adjoining
room, where he could telegraph his noble uncle for
money. And to the telegraph office he pretended
V> go.
While this conversation was going on, Milo Free
man, who was at his desk in the same room, was
eyeing and comparing him with the description in
his morning paper. Satisfied that he was the hum
bug Insurance agent, he told Mr. White so. Kos
ciusko soon put in his second appearance and re
marked that after thinking the matter over, lie had
come to the conclusion to pledge his baggage to
the conductor. But it is certain the conductor on
the next train for Atlanta, received some special
instructions from headquarters about a gentleman
calling Id ms el f Mr. Kosciusko, nephew of General
Gordon, and that Mr. K. failed in negotiating the
passage he proposed.
*We also learn lie cheated Louis Vammchi out of
a box of cigars, and that liis washerwoman is now
holding a sundry lot of duds in lieu of a little bill,
and that a warrant is out for him in Burke county.

great majority of the people here earnestly dcaire
peace. It is all they ask, and all they want. But
the coolest and most liberal minds seem to have

OBITUARY.
Died, ou tlie 2d inst.. at bi* residence in Baker
County, HENRY J. SLAPPKY, at the age of 41.
The fact which tliis simple announcement de
clares has spread a pall of deepest sorrow over a
once happy household, and lias stricken one of
Us brightest links from a long chain of pure
and earnest friendship.
Wnen quite a young inau, Mr. Hlappey removed
from Twiggs to Baker County, and engaged at
once in tlie business of sgrieulture. This voca
tion he followed to the close of his life. Unvary
ing success demonstrated at onee the wisdom of
his choice and the practical good sense which he
displayed in the management of liis affairs. He
did not accumulate any large amount of wealth,
nor did he seem to desire it; yet his means were
always sufficient to sustain an enlarged and uni
form hospitality, which was as cordial as it was
elegant, Though with capacity to discharge its
duties, Mr. Slappey never sought or desired a
public position. To enjoy. In a large degree, the
refined and refining pleasures oi social inter
course, and to drink deeply from the pure aud
ever-flowing fountain of domestic happiness
filled the measure of his earthly ambition.
Many years ago he united himself with the
Methodist Church, and his “dally walk and con
versation'’ Illustrated the sincerity of Ills profes
sion. Stricken down in the prime of life, and
almost without warning, his consistent Christian
deportment furnishes the assured hope that he
was not unprepared for the great eliange. With
arms burnished and whetted Tor the e-onfilet., and
witli strengt h constantly renewed irom the source
of all power, liis struggle with Hie “King of Ter
rors” could have no doubtful Issue.
Thus lias a good man fallen! The friend who
places this humhle flower on his grave bears
willing testimony to his sincere and ardent
friendship, bis generous patriotism, his active
benevolence, ami his earnest piety. Further ,he
forbears to speak. How well he discharged the
duties of husband and father, the pen may not
declare. The wall of grief that gushes up from
broken hearts proclaims his eulogy. May He
who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb furnish
that consolation which alone ran soothe their
sorrows. W.

the sweetest flower of the field.’’

Oh, how hard to give you up, little “Johnnie!*,
What hopes, what prospects, were blighted when
the “Destroying Angel” c'aimed him as its own 1
Scarcely did we learn of his Illness ere we were
called upon to shroud Ids little body for the grave.
(Jiving promise of ft bright career he was the
pride of the family, and none knew him but to
ove him. Farewell, Johnnie; thy little voice,
so merry In the home circle, is hushed but to join
“the holy, happy band singing glory.” Said
mother, “He always laved flowers,” as Fannie
was paying her last earthly tribute to her little
lost brother, by placing In his Icy bands a white
rose. Then, oh! with what joy will Johnny
gather flowers from the eternal blooming fields
of EJen. Cried mother, as she was kissing John
nie's pale Ups for the last time, “He’s one of
God’s brightest.” Then how proud, sorrowing
mother, to add another jewel In the coffers of the
“King of Kings” and “Lord of Lords,” that will
grow brighter and brighter with refulgent beauty
throughout the ages of eternity.

Weekly Review of the Macon Markel.
Monday Evening, Sept. 7, 1868. g
The volume of trade for our first fall week is very 1
satisfactory. Our wholesale dealers in General
Groceries are making fair shipments to tlie coun
try. They are confident of a good fall and winter
trade. New York and Baltimore purchases arc
living received quite freely, and the receipts will
be much heavier from day to day as tlie season ad
vances. It may be remarked, we are ju6t getting
our first nibble of fall trade. In a week hence we
expect to see anew face upon our market. IV Is
even now far brighter than ten days ago. Tli*e
mand for Western Produce for tlie week lias been
fair. Meats have been sh ady, with a shade advance
upou Clear Ribbed Sides, At least half the heavy
transactions are upon time. The planters are so
near a realization upon their Cotton crop that they
can easily negotiate for supplies upou short time at
a small advauce upon cash prices.
We regret to see our Cotton market upon the
downgrade. It is hopelessly below 25 cents to
day. The very best article would uot command
that figure. We hope our planters will hold on to
the last day possible, firmly believing, as we do,
that they will get 25 cents before the season closes.
Our crop will bo 1(X),(XX) bales short, and if the price
goes below 20 cents tlie consequences will be. hard
upon Georgia. The Mississippi Valley and Texas
will make a great deal more than they did last year,
but the gain will not more than balance the loss in
the South Atlantic States. So that in no event can
the grand aggregate yield go over tlie crop of 1807.
The weather since last Thursday has been very
favorable for the growing Cotton. Upto tiiat time
we had a long month of almost incessant rains.
These rains were ruinous to tlie crop. The pres
ent is tlie last week for the crop to mature. The
season will dose by the 15th.
Financial.—Our Bank transactions are very
light. The Stock and Bond market still slumber*.
Tiie financial affairs of the United State, are getting
truly alarming, and a universal collapse and crash
is looked for by the oldest heads. Already loaded
with an enormous public debt, the country 4s get
ting deeper and deeper into it. Since tlie first day

STEEL BRUSH COTTON GINS.
I HAVE TAKEN AN AGENCY for the sale of
1 the above Giu, little known in this section,
but well known in Southwestern Georgia and the
Western Slates, as well as South Carolina. Jn
proof of their superiority, I have numerous tes
timonials from Planters, Cotton Dealers, and
Spinners, many of them well known in this com
munity and commercial elides, all testifying to
the superiority of the Cotton ginned on them ;
that it readily commands from one to two cents
more than that from the common one-brush
Gins. The steel brush, or comb, is the last to act
on the Cotton, and leaves it appearing as nicely
carded. Manufacturers say it saves them labor
lu preparing the Cotton for spinning, and hence
they can afford to pay more for it. They are
made under the personal supervision of the in
ventor, who is a Southern man, and who only
awaits the issue of their success here to build up
extensive shops among us.
The Gin may be seen at Messrs. Car hart &
Curds’, Macon, and will be acknowledged as a
perfect machine.
Terms, 80.00 per saw, cash, or approved paper at
ninety days.
Every Gin guaranteed to please.
Please address me at Clinton, Jones County,
Ga., or Macon, Ga., care of Carhart & Curd, who
will act lor me, if not. with them.

I of Construction, and the ease with which it can Is- o| »■ raU-d by either Hand, Horst, \S alei. or
Hteam Power— the change from one to the Other being effected in a few minufi s.
Another great advantage which this Pres* p .--. s*is, it take- up so little room that it may ho
placed in and run In the Gin House, thus saving mm b extra iabor and lo- , ol lime, the Cotton hem
placet in it as fast as ginned.
Occupying hut little space, and kept out of the weather, thi- Pro * is very durable, rum not Hahn
to get out of order, both lue Screw and the Frame being of wrought iron.
