A SCRAP OF HISTORY.
We find chronicled in the history
of our county, that in the year
1825, Mclntosh signed the treaty
forever giving the white rran the
famous Indian Spring reserve,
which act cost him his life, and we
know where his grave nestles in a
nook of wood, near Whitesburg.
We wonder why the “Red Men.” of
his tribe dont remove his remains
to Indian Spring or Jackson and
build a monument to his memory
But we are digressing. In the
next year 1820 on the 13th day of
September, there was a transaction
which has no place in history, anil
which perhaps was of more impor
tance to Butts county. There were
a few pioneer Christians who met in
these, then woods, and constituted
Macedonia church near Stark. There
is no tellii.g the good those eight
persons have been instrumental in
accomplishing. The church now
has two hundred and thirty five
members. Rev. Wm. Reeves
preached to them the first sermon,
Joseph Byars was their first secret
tary, Joseph Jolly is their present
secretary, some of their children,
grand children and great grand
children, are now living about here,
and some of them may T not know
their parents were constituent mem
bers. Here are their names:
Samuel Leak, W. M. Redman,
Thomas Thornes, Joseph Byars,
jane Leak, Nancy Thomas, Lillis
Lee, Jane Lee. Their first pastor
was Rev. James Carter. Rev. J. A,
Jackson is the present pastor.
