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. WANTED—COTTON SEED. from now untill Ist of June we will buy cotton seed. Jackson Oil Mill.
