Waiting in vain for tho street gang to

Jack aiappy.
Mr. Jack Slappy left Macon week be
fore l.utt with tho intention of entering
bu-imm No* York. On tho7th instant
he connected himself with tho firm of H.
K. Thurber A Co., the largest importers,
manufacturers and grocers in the world,
lie is the drnmmcr of tho Broadway ho
tel-, and occupies a very lino position.
Mr. Slappy Dopes all of his Southern
friends will remomber him whoa they go
on to the North, and bo certainly will
look aftor their best interests. It is not
often n Southern boy cun go North and get
into so fir. 1 class an establishment. We
know, however, that Mr. Sloppy will
folly sustain himself in bis now po.i-
t on. He has ouo of tho most popular
salesmen who ever traveled in Southern
Georgia, Alabama and Northern Florida,
printers’ Rollers.
Wo invito ib j particular attention of
the press of the State to the fact that we
are now manufacturing at this oflioo
Wiklo’s superior roller gum and printers’
rollers. Mr. Wikle has perfected his
gum until wo do not believe it is surpass
es! by any other in the market. After
years of study devoted to tho improve
ment of all tho essential qualities of the
gum, ho has at last learned tho
art of manufacturing a composition free
ftom tho objections urged against other
compositions. Erery practical printer
and pressman fully understands and ap
preciates the importance of having good
rollers. An opportunity is now offerod
to get the belt, at reasonable figures,
and all orders, either for the composition
or mouldo 1 rollers, will be promptly at
tended to and satisfaction guaranteed.

Mr. Walker was universally esteemed

very greatly regretted. In it Macon loses
one of her enterprising, upright mer

Senator Bill.
Senator H:!l was je-terday v.s.tti by
many p-rsous at the Brown House, woo
embraced the opportunity of calling on
and paying their respects to the dietic-
gnished Georgian.
The number of calls showed the high
esteem in which Senator. Hill is held
in Macon. There was a decided wish
to bear .the Senator in a public speech,
and yesterday morning the follow,
ing invitation was addressed to him and
delivered by a committee of five promi
nent gentlemen:
Hon. H. H. HiU.:
Dkab Sib—Congratulating ourselves
upon the auspicious opportunity that is
afforded by your presence in onr city, we
reapeotfnlly request that your visit miy
be utilized to the universal pleasure and
advantage of our fellow citiz as, by your
addressing them upon the political issues
of the day. We would suggest that the
time and place of auen address be to-mor
row, Wednesday evening, at 8to’cIeck in
the Superior Court room. Permit us. Sir,
to earnestly insist that at this, which you
have well termed tne second crisis of our
country’s history, you will not enffer eo
large a number of Georgians to vainly
invoke for their guidance tbe wisdom and
eloquence of a Senator in whom they
have been proud to find at once the
Acliille- of American orators, the Ulysses
of patriots and the Agamemcon of a de
voted Sontb.
Very respectfully,
J. H. Caxphill,
J. P. Fobt,
A. P. Coi.nine,
K. W. Pxtteilsoh,
H. L. Jew jot,
1L F. Lawton,
J. H. Bloo.st,
W. C. Bass,
it. K. Hines,
And others.
There were about one hundred signa
tures to the invitation, and tho number
was limited only by the opportunity giv
en for additional names.
Mr. Hill responded that ho would he
unable to comply, ae business engage
ments would call him away before the
timo designated, that the platforms of
the campaign had not been laid dowD,
and that ho thought perhaps he should
be silent at this time, when the press of
the North waa so ready to take np and
misconstrue what was said, and
moreover, ho had been invite! to
speak before tho General Assembly.
This invitation ho had not as yet accep
ted, but that if he did address them he
thought ono speech was as many ss bo
should make while in the South at this
time.
It is regretted that the invitation
oould not be acceprcd.
Mr. Hill remains iu the cily until this
evening, when ha leaves for Griffin, to
engage in an important law case.

Condition at (lie streets.
The general condition of the streets is
fearful. The recent rains have played
havoc with the usually good roadways of
the city and left them scimed with far
rows dnep and wide and dangerous to
vehicles. College street beyond Georgia
Avenue toward the oemetery Is in a vary
bad condition. Walnut, from Spring
toward Rose Hill, m also very badly
washed. Large gullies extend down
Spring »nd New streets from Washing
ton Avenue, and Poplar street to Cherry,
and Poplar street is by no means free
from the iffed? of the tains. These are
bat a few places. Nearly every street in
Ibe city not on perfectly level ground
shows tbo wear of the recent rains.
Tnere is ample work for the city force
for some time to come. Second street is
now receiving the attention of the force
and some substantial work is being placed
on it between Wali and Mulberry. The
bed of the thoroughfare has been raised
—s the street finished np in the same
style as the portion extending toward tbe
southern portion of the city.

Editors Uelegraph and Messengcr: On
Saturday quite a painful accident hap
pened to little George, tho adopied son
;.i .Mr. Li. Birdsong, a merchant in our
community. A n-igro was examining a
pistol in the store, supposing it to be nn-
i ja i il.wbencni; barrel was flred.icfitc.ing
a serious wound in the abdomen of the
little boy. Dr. Shinholser waa immedi
ately summoned, and upon examination,
foniid that tbo hall on entering took an
obliqnf course to lilt) rigor, lodging in tne
muscles. The little sufferer bears tho
pain with the heroism of a martyr, even
begging the Doctor to try again ani
again to extract the ioad, and though the
pam seemed excruciating, the little fel
low stood it like a man. Such fortitude
in a child we have rarely witnessed.
The reosnt freshet has done an im
mense amount of damage to tha orops of
earn in tho Ocmnlgee swamp. Many of
onr friends had their entire crop in the
swamp, and the loss is very serious.
Acres of corn nearly matured were borne
down by the weight of the ears and rain
ed, while the young crops, being snb-
m-'rged by the waters, have rotted. The
loss Is very severe to a namber of small
farmers, who rented small patches, and
were solely dependent thereon for bread
another year.
We are having quite oool weather for
August, Cotton is generally very prom-
irhing, and beginning to open in some
localities.
Schools are well attended and pre sper-
ona. Sunday-school? flourishing. P.

Referring to onr misfortunes by fire on

receive' (in onr new quarters at No. 68
Second street,) a large fresh stock of

We take this opportunity to thank onr
fiiends and tho public for their libers]

SINGER'S HILL.—THE HON ROE SAIL ROAD,
A bon*, four and • half miles from Maoon
the Forsyth road sweeps uroaod tbe
southern slope of Singer's Hill, one of a
chain of hign. knobs and elevated table
lands running a little south of west and
skirting the osk and pine woods and also
the tertiary geological formation, whioh
may almost be dignified with the name of
mountain?.
The original way laid off by the early
settlers, diverged from the present ronte
near the southeast corner of lot 339 and
pavaed on the north side of the bill, the
residence now owned by W. J. McElroy,
being sitaatpd immediately on the public
road. In 1828, the Commissioner of
roads with the public hands belonging to
the State of Georgia—ignoring the old
bncket handle illnstr.uon than a road
aronnd a hill instead of over it may not
increase tbe distance and at the same time
greatly facilitate travel — changed the
road so that it passed nearly over the apex
of the bill.
Tnis change was a very unfortunate
one for the traveling public as the lOBg,
steep sscent from the noithweetern side,
was efeen, in wet seasons, so badly ect
np by the wheels of Toad wagons as to be
almost impassible, and "Singer’s Hill in
Bibb” soon became more widely known
to tbe people iben inhabiting the coup
try between Macon and where Atlanta
now is, than tho Stone Mountain in De-
Kalb. Macon was then their cotton
market and plate cf trait; and this hill
wss as dreadfol as a “lion in the path.”
Here they expected to ‘ stall” and of
ten had to “double teams” in order to
drag over and through the mud- They
generally put on "steam” and prepired
tor whipping and whooping by gettin
supply of whisky at Singer’s “Grog
Shop,” situated a few rods from the
place of tedious ascent.
Hence they called the Hill "Singer’s
Hill,” though the worthy old Dutchman,
John Singer, never owned a foot of land
on either aide of the hill proper.
Many an ax, male and horse received
harsh treatment here, which terminated
his life.
Ic was not anlil 1845 that Old Uncle
Tommy Redding, a much respected and
public-spirited planter of Monroe, pur
chased the old Lundy place and removed
to Bibb.
Knowing from experience the necessi
ty of avoiding this terrible hill he gener
ously supervised tha road hands and
changed the route again to the present
road bed, and binge;’a Hill was no longer
a terror to the traveler. It may here be
remarked that Coleman’s Cut, on the old
Monroa railroad, so called from Robert
Coleman, father of Ssm and Robert Cole
man, now enterprising merchants
Macon, is the deepest between Me con
and Atlanta, and the embankment at tbe
culvert just abovo Singer’s Hill is
the highest on the esme road.
The section of the railroad jnst
above Singer's Hill was constructed
by Story and Pratt—both Northern men.
Their grading was done principally by
wild Irish, imported for the business.
They looated tbeir tents or small board
homes, without flrors, near a spring m
tbe rear of old Singer’s honse, about tnroo
hundred yards from the hill. They were
good wotkers, bat a terribly wild set.
With them waa imported the word ‘‘sban.
ty" as applied to the temporary buildings
erected tor railroad hand?, the name,
from common mage, bemgnow indiscrim
inately applied to any cheap hots i. Tb
work on the Cclsaian Cat was dona by
negroes. In “blocking cfl” several hands
were killed. Soon after the Irish
began work, aad while raising the heavy
embankment at the culvert a very unfor
tunate oircumstance took place, which re
sulted in the murder of a worthy citizen
of Coweta county named Hnckaby. A
number of cotton wagons were passing
oa to MacoD. A large and powerful
Irishmen, named Corn Hcgan, stoed on
the embankment aa cart-dumpar—sav
eral young fellows, going along rather ns
'supernumeraries than drivers, and ripe
for fun, went up to see tho work going
on—it was a now thing. While there
they passed around a bottle of foul
whisky, laughed and retreated. It was
the signal fora row. The Irish, about
forty in number, each provided with a
"sbilalah,” (largo green hickory sticks,)
pursued and overtook the wagons near
the old McDonald gate, (now Ayres’.)
The real offenders saved themselves by
flight. Huekaby, a clever gentleman,
conscious of no offense, and consequently
apprehensive of no danger, was over
taken and beaten to death in the road.
He raised the cry of murder in
vain. This occurred toon after dark.
Next day a large posse comitattu, com
posed in part of the Bibb cavalry, came
ont from Maoon with the sheriff. Num
erous arrests were made, bat fsr lack of
evidence to identify the murderers there
were no convictions.
Hnckaby was intered by the roadside,
and bis friends pat around his grave a
neat enclosure, bat now nothing remains
to mark the spot.
There is now no trace of the double
log dwelling with its big dutch stone
chimney, which fifty years sgo, was occu
pied by the worthy and industrious cld
emigrant from “faderlacd," John Singer.
His “grog shop,” as ha called it, in the
rear of which, within the intervals of
serving customers with whisky at “thrip
a drink, seven pence pi r half a pint,” he
kept pegging away, for he was a ehoe-
tuaker, is gone also. He was much re
spected, for none of the orooked wavs of
the proprietors of tho modern “dead fall”
was ever imputed to him, and several of
his descendants are now thrifty and
highly respected citizens of Southwest
Georgia. With strong common Bense he
had a spice of good humor. His store was
broken open and robbed one night by a
negro. Next morning a neighbor came
along and inquired into the matter, ask
ing who was the guilty party. Singer
told him. “Impossible,” says the neigh
bor, "he is in the chnroh.” ‘‘By tarn,”
says Singer, “mo viah ha stay in Ats
church and keep out of mine grog-shop.”
On one occasion Singer joinea a party of
friends and neighbors engaged in the
pleasant recreation of partridge shoot
ing. HutboH from Maoon—the “crack
shot” of th6 day—the Dr. Carver of the
period, was along with his splendid doub
le barrel gun and his ribbed nosed “five
hundred dollar pointer dog.”
Wuile iu the woods a squirrel came
running by and started up r. tree, the
deg sprang forward after it. Singer fir
ed and killed both dog and squirrel.
Hubbell was frantic and was with diffi
culty restrained from killing the slayer
of his dog, though it wst, of course, an
accident. Hubbi-11 had ihe dog buried,
and the grave marked with a light wood
post, on which was carved ths dog’s
name, and which remained many years.
