LAST SHOT OF THE WAR.
Mr. C. A. Lamar Thinks it Was Fired in
Columbus.
Editor Telegraph: In to-days
issue of your paper you print n com
munication from .Judge \V. L. (-rice
of Hawkinsville, in which he essays
to correct what he believes to he an
error, ns to “When and where the
Inst gun was fired in Georgia.” A
writer in the Atlanta Constit ution had
previously claimed that the last gun
fired on Georgia soil killed Col. C. A.
L. Lamar at Columbus, Ga. Amlin
my judgment that statement is abso
lutely true. But Judge Grice “cor
rects” this writer with the declaration
that a stray shot by a bushwhacker
at Macon after the war was over was
the “lastgun” fired on Georgia soil.
It would be interesting to know how
many more guns were fired by other
bushwhackers and camp followers in
Macon and vicinity that Judge Grice
did not hear and necessarily could
not have heard.
Gen. 'Cobh possessed neither an
army nor the semblance of one when
the Fcdcrals reached Macon. The
little baud of Confederates, consisting
of old men and hoys, reinforced by
several companies of regulars, which
he commanded at Columbus had been
scattered to the four winds, and he
was compelled to flee for his life.
But Gen. Wilson’s advance on Col
umbus was stubbornly resisted and
Gen. Cobb’s little army yielded to
superior numbers only after an impet
uous and desperate struggle. At last
the Confederate lines were broken
and Wilson's cayalry sought entrance
into Columbus through the “upper”
wagon bridge across the Chattahoochee
river. Col. Lamar reached the point
first apd rallying as many men as lie
could, he attacked the advance guard
of the Fcdcrals fiercely, but in vain.
He then endeavored to burn the
bridge, but was overwhelmed by supe
rior numbers and friend anil foe be
came inextricably intermixed inside
of the bridge, and a band to hand
combat ensued. Col. Lamar reached
the Georgia shore in safety, but was
killed at short range by a Federal
cavalryman a few yards from the en
trance to the late Col. R. 1. • Mott’s
residence, which is situated at the
bridge on the Georgia side of the river.
This occurred in April, 180.), and
that shot came from the last gun fired
on Georgia soil during the war.
Gen. Wilson occupied Columbus
for several days without any molest
tation whatsoever. Because there
was nobody to oppose him. Aftc.'
burning every manufacturing estab
lishment in the city, expect Col. I!.
L. Motts’ flour mills, he transferred
his army, flushed with victory and
thoroughly equipped, to Macon. He
encountered nothing more formidable
than non-combatants and women and
children en route. Of course he paid
no attention to the flag of truce men
tioned W Judge Grice, because the
war was over, and he knew Gen.
Cobb could not defend Macon as the
“convalescents, home guard, etc.” were
utterly unequal to the tusk.
I will state just here that the body
ofCol. Lamar remained where it had
fallen—her wns killed early in the
night—until late on the next day, and
the writer—a small hoy at that time
together with liis mother, tried to obtain
from Gen. Wilson permission to re
move it, and, although he could have
seen the body from the windows of
his head quarters if he had tried, the
request wns not granted.
Judge Giicc may he right when he
says “the matter is not important,”
but I have an abiding faith that the
future historian will decide that there
was a very wide difference between
the “last shot'’ at Columbus aud the
“stray shot at Macou.”

Holtou, Aug. 8, 188<J.
Loitisvii.i.e, Aug. 12.—The heirs
of William F. and George W. North,
brothers, deceased millionaires of this
city, have decided to give 80(1,000 to
the building fund of the South Baptist
Theological Seminary, moved here
from South Carolina a few years ago.
Both brothers made princely gifts to
the seminary during their lifetime.

“AGE CANNOT WITHER HER,”
romnrkod nn old gentleman, ns ho gazed
fondly upon the comely little woman by’ liis
side; “but frankly,” he continued, “at one
time I was afraid cosmetics would. The silly
littlo woman, in order to appear youthful,
plastered her face with different varieties of
whitewash, yclept ‘balms,’ ’creams,’ ‘lotions,’
etc.” “Yes,” interrupted the little woman,
“I did, until my skin became like parchment
and so pimply and coarse.” “Well.” said tho
listener, “What do you uso now?” “Use,”
wns the reply, “nothing but common sense
and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery’.
Common sense told me that if my blood wag
B ure, liver active, appetite und digestion good,
int the outward woman would tako on tho
hue of health. The * Discovery ’ did all those
things and actually rejuvenated mo.” If you
would possess a clear, beautiful complexion,
free from blotches, pimples, eruptions, yellow
spots and roughness, uso the “Golden Med
ical Discovery.” It is guaranteed to do
all that it is claimed to, or money paid
for it will bo promptly refunded.
