Tho Indian Spring has been quite
gay for the p ist three weeks, n very
large crowd from Savannah contributing
to tbe pleasures of the pises.
A number of people from Southwest
Georgia are at too Indian Spring, Albany,
Auicricus,Camilla nnd Tnomasville being
prominently represented.
Doth hotels are supplied with bands
and dancing halls.
Tno Spring was cut off from commu
nication with tbo outer world for three

The Constantly Improving Prospect,
he State Fair commenc 3 in M icon on
the 27th of Ootoberneit, and frrtn vrh*t
at first seemed a gloomy outlook, it? ipr.v*
pects are constantly brightening. The
ptuapent* now are that a fair will b6g;v n
wtich will rival any that bn taken place
in tbe last ten years.
Mr. Maloolm Johnston is on the gronnd
doing all that he can to bring the Fair
prominently before the public. Ono c*
the most attractive premium lists has
been gotten oat and scattered broadcast
over tbe State. In a few day? -pecialat
traction? will be announced, and no ex
pense will be spared to have whatever
special feature? are selected strictly first-
class.
The racing will be no small feature
•he exposition. Liberal purses have been
arranged, and doubtless will bo eopple
mented by our citizens as on last year.
Many fair* are arranged to take place
in tbe eontbern portion ol the State and
end Alabama, which will insure a
large attendance of JSae stock, and
the Fair in Atlanta, and the Slate Fair
will bo exactly on tbe circuit, and they
will stop at each place.
The displays, especially in live stock,
will Ibis year be very superior. Wo will
have more to say of tbe Fair shortly when
the programme is fully arranged.
Second Street.
Tbe improvem-nis going on and oontem-

on-, and bid (airto make that street one
of tbe most prominent in the etiy.
Mr. Crutchfield is patting np a fine bm-

Near the other corner, opposite Crotch
field's. Mr. Caider U. Willingham will soon
ommeoos tbe erection of a oommodions
two-story building, to be used as a car
riage repository.
In order to build the store it will be
necce-ary to tear down the large two,
story brick bouse on tbe lot. Some one
has suggested that the name of tbe street
be changed from Second to Monumental.
It is also rumored that a company desire
to erect sn iron wagon bridge over tbo
Ocmnlgee river at the foot of Second
street, and make it one of tbe leading
avennvs to the city. Such a bridge
would ba a very advantageous to the
trade of the merchants along this street.
The bridge «a not likely to be built,
however, for some timo to come.

District und tbe (tcmalgee

August 1st, 187*. I
[coutesc xn. ]
After the settlement of tho county,
Vtoevilie soon became a populous village,
snd was cut off from Howard’s and form
ed into a separate district.
Soon after thd perfection of the Indian
Spriogs Treaty, Mtjor Tarply Hoi: came
over from Putnam ooanty and settled
where Wm. Johnston resides. He
brought with him a few negroes, cleared
eom- land, built several log cabins, ami
made a eorn crop on hi? place in the year
1821. At Christmas, the Major moved
hia family to their new home. This was
tne first settlement in the heighborhood,
*Dd it was made two years before the
first house was built, west of the Ocmul-
gee, at Macon.
During the next year (1822) Dr. James
Myrick moved from Baldwin county to
Bibb, and settled the place now owned
by his ecu, J. W. Myrick.
About inc came time Timothy Mat
thews settled the Batsman place. Mis.
Flewelleo, the place now owned byRib-
ert Coleman, and Ben B. Limnr, tbe
Park plaoe. Other settlers came in rap
id succession, and very coon every
“Square” of land had its occnpsnt. Io
the New Purchase Lottery no one was
allowed to draw more than a lot of 202j
acres, and no fortunate drawer in any
other Lottery woe permitted to partici
pate In this. The first houses were rude
log cabins, it being impossible at that
time to obtain lumber with which to
build framed ones
Sometime during the year 1822,
James Herring bought from Dr. Myrick
10 acres of lot No. 192, which contained
a mill site on Bcaverdam creek, and
erected thereon a mill, at which the lum
bar for building the main dwellings of
the Johnson, Park, Myrick, Bowman and
other pla .-es in the settlement waa eaw.
ed. At this mill Tarpley Roes, a son of
the distinguished Macon merchant, the
late J. B. Ross, was drowned. This oc
curred many years after tbe mill was
built.
The residence now occupied by E. TV.
Howard was built by Jacie* Lamar, and
w-s (be fir.,t to be painted. For a long
time it was kuown and distinguished
throughout the community as the “White
House.”
Maj. Tarpley Holt, the father of out
distinguished fellow citizen and former
neighbor, Gen. Wm. S. Bolt, was, like
most of onr early settlers, a native of the
“Old Dominion.” Ha was a leading
man in this neighborhood, and a man
that would have been prominent in auy
community. He represented Bibb coun
ty wtlh ability in the Legislature, and
bold other offices of boner and trust. At
one time he commanded the forces st
Fort Hawkins. H-- died at the place
where he bmlt thn first house in the set
tlement, in 1810, and lies buried but a
few rods from tho oiub room. I took the
following from the inscription on hie
tomb: “Bora in Virginia, n» died May
the 26lb, 1810, iu tne 63rd year of his
age.”
The Lamars, Benjamin B. Lunar,
Janies Lamar and Henry G. Lamar, weie
brothers and the sons of tbe venerable
John Lamar, formerly of Jones county.
They were all iib .-rally educated, ard
were men of prominence and wealth.
Benjamin B Lamar was a Baptist min
ister. He, as before stated, settled tbe
place now owned by Capt. R. E. Park,
and on a corner of one of tho lots he once
owned, cur club room ia bnilt. He re
moved from Georgia to Alabama and
died tii -re. Col. Henry J. Lamar, his
only su -riving son and a prominent plan
ter, merchant and financier, now resides
m Vincvilie.
Dr. James Myrick was born in South
Hampton county, Va., February 28th,
1788. He removed to Georgia in the
year 1809. and resided in Baldwin conn
t y uatil 1822, when ho again moved and
settled himself in Bibb county, where,
as before stated, he was one of the first
settlers ia Howard’? District.
Dr. Myrick was noted throughout tho
community in which he lived for hi?
earnest and consistent piety. He devo
ted almost his entire time to .service
in the cruse of religion,
"He watch’d and wept, he felt and pray’d, for
all;
Ho tried each art, reproved each dull delay,
A: lured To brighter worlds and led the way. 1
He died at hi? home July 25th, 1865,
in the 78th year of his age.
The early settler? ware not indifferent
to tbe importance of schools. Oao of the
first publio acts of tbe neighborhood, or
settlement, as it was then colled, was the
building of a school bouse.
It was a log structure acd was loca
ted a few yards west of Damascus
Church.
There is not a log or stone of the
building left to mark tne place where it
was built, but the site is denoted by a
large oak which stood by it, and still
stands as it? living monument.
A? soon a s the site for tbe Academy
bad been selected, and even before the
timber? for the building were cut, tbit
ubiquilious servant ol God, tho Metho
dist circuit rider, found the spot and
with a stump for his pulpit, and tbe
boughs of “that giaut oak” for a roof, he
called sinners to repentance, and warned
them of the wrath to coma.
Here, after the baildiog was e.-eoted, it
was the custom of the male members of
tbe settlement to meat on stated Satur
days in each month, as a “Debating So
ciety,'' and after the disputed question ot
tbe day was decided, the assembly wr.s
changed into an agriculture! clnb, which
was called the O. F. Club. This was
perhaps tbe first, or.among the first, or
ganizations of the ktnd ever formed iu
Georgia.
At this place Judge S B. Hauler, Gen.
Wm. 8. Holt, Sanfoid Tippet and others
were teacher*.
Tbo little log school house soon be
came inadequate to tbe wants of the
community, and a commodious framed
baildiog was erected near by, which was
tyled the “Chanty Ltne Academy.” A
church was also built and was called
Mattbew?6’s Meeting Home.” This
gave way, in tue year 1S39. to tho pres-
ent beautiful little building, which wes
erected at a cost cf eixtcc-n hundred dol
lars, and was dedicated a? “Damascus
Church."
In the church yard at Damascus there
is a monument of poplar wood wbioh de
serves a passing notice, from the fact of
its being one of tbe interesting an-
liquitieeof the District. The monument
or head board in question is a alab about
foot feet high by two wide, acd masks,
as is supposed, the first grave mide ia the
banal gronnd. The letters on the mon
ument ore very much obliterated, but
with the aid of a skillful assistant I man
aged to decipher a port of the inscription.
It it this:
To tbe Sacred Memory
of
Roland Parrum,
Who departed this life, June 30th, 1829.
The monument is ie a wonderful state
of preservation to haro withstood the
ravages of time for fifty-me years.
Toe old Academy was given to the
colored people of theneighb:rhood a few
ycats ago. They moved it about a quit
ter of a mile and now nso it a? a plate
of worship.
