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.” C. A. Lam a u. 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. Miss l’yrte—“What makes you Buch a confirmed woman-hater, Mr. Olcbach V Mr. Olcbach—“Well, when I war. a young man a woman made a f<x>l of roe.” Miss Fyrtc—“Anil you never got over itt" “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.
