EAST MACON IHS'BICT BAKBK-
CUB.
A Day of rieasure.
Every year abont this tim“ a neighbor
hood barbecue i» given in Ess! Macon a
short distant from the city, wbich is of a
very enjoyable character. The farmers
without any definite organization nave
formed themielves into b club and m-et
ach year with tbeir families and friends
to mingle together in social p as
urea audio oompare notes in regard
to the farming operations of the sanson*
These pleasant reunions have been
kept np for a number of years. Yester-
Jay another one was added to the i st,
nd none more pleasant has gone before,
some ten Or a dozen famili-s were gath-
xed together and represent-! tho hardi
hood and beauty of the district. The spot
for holding tne barbecue was quite near
the new iron bridge over Walnut creek*
The day was more favorable than any of
week, a pleasant breeze keeping the
atmosphere cool and pleasant.
The comparison of crops which ha9 In
the p»=t been qni'.e an important part of
the day's prodeedmgs, was no* qmte so
closely observed. The highland crops
have baen parched in some places and the
lowland, were nnder the water. Tnere is
also a good deal of what Is known in the
district as “bumble bee cotton,' though
who took the award in that line it was im
possible to disc ever. The crops general
ly throughout the distnot are reported
good, and the harvest will bs better than
our farmer friends thought it wonld be a
few weeks sicoe.
The time paired pleasantly away, Mr.
B. J. Baddy adding a great deal to the
occasion with his violin.
The dinner which was prepared did
not in the least indicate any BOsrcity in
tho land. A splendid barbecue repast
of endless quantity and quality that could
not be surpassed was served hot and
savory to the a sambled inhabitants of
the district and the gifests. Suoh a din
ner has been seldom seen on a like occa
sion, and at its close the many fragments
taken np would have fed as many more.
It lakos the Eist Macon District farm
ers to set the model for a barbecue din
ner and to serve it with that generous
hospitality and liberality which show
that thoir guests are more than welcome
to their good cheer. From th e city quite
a number went out, among them Aider-
men Flanders, Hudgins and Higgins,
Mr. J. B. Nelson and others.
We hope the annual custom long will
continue, and no occasion bo less pleas
ant than tho reunion of yesterday.
The managers who made the affair a
success were Messrs. B. J. Beddy, M. M
Massey,'D. Davidson, E. G. Dongla.-s
and J. W. Williams.

December 22i, 1826, Lake Academy

in the a^t of incorporation.

which it is located, wa3 conditionally do

Lundy. The corner stone of the build
ing wai laid by the Masonic Fraternity,
the following aocount of which is taken
from the minutes of the lodge which of

■‘August 5 b, 1826. tho corner stone

Tbe Lodge met at the house of Henry
Audolpb, (uow B. F. Ousley’s) form
ed end marched to the Academy lot.”
The buildine was fini-hed September
13-h, 1826 Tbe “conditions” referred
to in the deed of gift were these: “The
Academy edifice, when not wauted for
the UBe of tho school, is to be op j n as a
place of worship, equally to all religious
denominations, and if not used for a
school for five conseoative years, it shall
revert to the donor or his heirs.”
The first teacher at Lake Academy
was John Daaforth. He was the father
of the late JscjL B. Danfortb, a Metno-
dist minister, a scuool teacher and a man
of much learning, who was well known
in this community and often preached at
Damascus Church.
ALxander McDonald, brother of tho
Governor, and familiarly known as “Lit
tle Mack,” Wm. F. Hall, Win. 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 yeirs, nnd thus
the property reverted to tbe heirs of the
donor, but no interference has ever been
made with those who' wish to have
school?, or to hold religions services in
the building.
Thomas Lundy, tho donor, and Charles
J. McDonald who drew the condi
tional deed, descended from those who
had been driven to America by the civil
wars and religions persecutions, which,
twolhundred years ago, prevail-.d in Eng
land and Scotland.
Civil and religious liberty were duly
app.eciated by them, and hence the con
ditional clause named, in reference to re
ligions freedom.
Chat! *3 James McDonald, named by
his father ir honor of tbo 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 tho Prince of Orango.
Lake Academy was so called from a
small lake, situated on lot No. 350, near
where tho Forsyth and river roads
fork.
This lot of land was owned, at the
time of which we write, by Maj. L. J.
Morgan. He and Thomas Lundv drain
ed tbo lake in 1830, as it was supposed to
affoct the health of tho community.
Major Morgan was a native Virginian.
He moved from Wilkes county, Georgia
to Bij)b, and settled the place where
Wm. bason now lives.
Oliver H Prince is a notne well known
in Georgia. He represented at one time
the Senatoriil District to which Bibb
county belong.- d, in the State Senate.
He ia principally known, however, as
the author of Prince's Digbst Ltws of
Georgia. Hu was among the early pat-
rons of L tke Academy.
Thomas Lundy was born ia Dinwiddie
county, nsar Petersburg, Virginia, De
cember 7tb, 17SI. He removed to Geor-
gi a and settled first at Mt. Zion, Hancock
county. In 1S25 ho came to Bibb, and
settled the place now owned hy W. J.
McElroy. He died Feb. 23.-d, IS31.
Coarles J. McDonald settled the place
now owned by A3her Ayres, about tbe
year 1S25, where be remained for a num
ber ot years, and patronized the school
at the Acadt my.
OCMULGSK RIVER, FERRIES AND FISHER

Wh- n the “New Purchase” was first
settled by tbe whites, tbe O.-mulgee riv
er, which forms the eastern boundary
line of the District, wis & very different
stream from what it now is.
Then its waters were as clear as any
mountain rill or piney-wood ttream, and
abounded in tbe choicest kinds of fish.
Perch, tront and shai could be caught
in abundance. The fish are not so nu
merous now, but the water power rt«
miioR unchanged—iba Ocmulgee fur
nishes in the District enoagh of that, if
atnized, to grind all the grain and spin
and weave all tbe cotton that is raised
within a radius of a hundred miles.

Joshua Harris moved from Virginia to
Georgia abont the time of the great ex-
odus from that section, which so quickly
populated Hmcock oounty. He came
along with the tide of immigrat oa until
It reached Bibb county, and settled al
most immediately on the line of Jones
and B:bb, on the east side of tbe river.
Harris kept a terry just below the Wim-
t u,h Shoal, and „ko had a “Seine
Beioh," which at that time was very
profitable.
He was a well-to-do farmer, waa v-ry
feed of hunting, and usually kept fifteen
or twenty fine epecimena of the old fash
ion stag bound.
He frequently cime across the river
and hunted with Dr. Myrick, the Bain-
ess. Flewellyns and others.
Many a fine chase hai ths party had
along Wolf and Savage creeks, and
amcr.g the huckleberry branches sonth of
the Libratory after the antlered book.
Joehui Harris had, psrhap?, more bees
and more pigeons than any man in the
State. HeremoTed from Bibb to Early

I DESIRE to return my sincerest thanks to
many friends who rendered me many kind
nesses curing my recent illness which followed
the breaking of one of ray limbs accidentally.
I deem it unnecessary to call each name, but to
each I owe a debt of gratitude which I feel I can
never repay, but with best wishes and hopes for
each and every one’s happiness.
