A Tribute to Mr. J H. Barnes.
Meriwether Vindicator.
Another former Meriwether cit
zen passed awav last Saturday in
the person of Mr. Joseph Henry
Barnes, of Griffin.
The deceased was our boyhood
friend and nearest neighbor. Wo
were schoolmates, bunted, fished
and played together and were very
fast friends. His death severed one
of the strongest links that binds us
to the past and his departure makes
vacant a niche in memory that time
cannot fill.
Mr Barnes wa on about sixty years
of age, being the youngest son of
the late Jordan Barnes. He wis
born to manhood in Mer
iwether at the family homestead
near Harris City. Alter the war he
moved to Griffin, which place has
been his home for the last thirty
years or more. Before removal
to Griffin he was united in mar
riage to Miss Ophelia Nichols, the
daughter of the Hon.,. Isaac C.
Nichols, a most charming and ac
complished lady. To them were
born several sons and daughters
who have grown up to noble men
and women, rtfooting credit upon
their loving parents.
Mr. Barnes was long a member of
the Baptist church, joining while a
school boy at Antioch, where his
parents were members. He was a
faithful and consistent member
until the end came _und he was
called up higher.
As the companion of our youth,
the friend of riper years, we shall
ever cherish his memory and re
member his many noble qualities
of head and heart.

WILL CHANGE NAME
BACK TO SPALDING GRATS
Griffin Rifles Have Decided to Perpetuate Name of
One of First Companies in War.
■ ■
''
BEN FUTRAL,
Who Enlisted With the Grays in 1860
and Has Been a Member of tho
Coxpany Ever Since.
The Griffin Rifles organized at a
time when the military spirit had
fallen to a rather low ebb in this
city and was only revived by the
approach of the first encampment.
It was therefore deemed advisable
to choose a new name and take a
fresh start, and so the old Spalding
Grays, which had existed so long,
fell out of the ranks along with the
Griffin Light Guards. Being now
firmly established and in flourish
ing condition, a majority of the
company have expressed themselves
in favor of restoring and perpetu
ating the n»me of a valiant and
honorable organization, and a com
mittee so reported Friday after
noon, which action will be ratified
at'the next meeting of the com
pany. It has already been endorsed
in advance by all of those who have
heard of it.
Brief History ol the Grays.
The Spalding Grays were organ
ized in Griffin in the early part of
1860, with L. T. Doyal as their first
captain. In April, 1861, they went
to Mucon, Ga., and with the Macon
Volunteers, Floyd Rifles and Col
umbus Guards formed the Second
Georgia Battalion. From Macon
the battalion went to Norfolk,
being the first troops to go to the
defence of Virginia, and it was the
nucleus around which the army of
Virginia was form.-d. Capt Doyal
was promoted to colonel of the 53d
Georgia regiment and John E. Du
pree was elected captain of the
Grays. Capt. Dupree was killed
FAVOR CONVICTS WORKING ROADS.
Ata mass meeting of the representative citizens of Spalding co untv,
held at the city hall yesterday morning at eleven o’clock, a thorough en
dorsement of the methods of Mr. Felder, of Bibb, to secure to the State
an adjustment of the convict lease system, wai made.
Tho meeting was called to order with Lion. Seaton Grantiand in the
chair and R. L. Duke and H, P. Brown wore requested to act as seer etaries.
Chairman_Grantland in a few well chosen remarks stated tho object
of the meeting, heartily endorsed by everyone present, when he said
“good roads in the State are paramount to any personal interest.”
Col. J. M. Strickland spoke at length on the subject and made a mo
tion that a committee be appointed to appear bofore the senate and house
committee and insist that felony convicts be worked upon the public
roads ; that the present law' be repealed and the iniquitous, unjust and
almost unholy convict lease system be abolished.
Mayor Bailey, Aiderman Burpee and Col. B. N .Barrow and others
made speeches that were favorable to this motion, und after all had ex
pressed themselves, the following committees from each militia district
were appointed, with Hon. Seaton Grantland as chairman of the whole,
to appear before the legislative committees Monday, and it was suggested
that those who could not go appoint alternates.
The following are the committees as appointed, and the county
commissioners were also appointed to go along :
Griffin—S Grantland, chairman ; D J. Bailey, J M. Kelley, J. M.
Strickland, A. L Burpee, H. T. Johnson.

Mr. F. H. Wells, the merchant at

Leiter From a Lieutepant of the
Grays.
The following interesting letter
from Capt. English, of Atlanta, who
was a lieutenant of the company,
gives a further history of this his
toric organization :
Atlanta, Ga , Julv 23, 1903
W. H. Beck, Lieut. Griffin Rifles,
Griffin, Ga My Dear Sir >-I hear
that your company is considering a
change of name from the Griffin
Rifles back to the name of Spalding
Grays Asa member of that dear
old company, 1 woo d like to see
tho name perpetuated on the roster
of the military organ'zitions of our
State The name isono that- Griffin
and the county tor which it wa u
named ought to be proud to perpet
uate. I cannot recall to mind and
company from our State in the
army of Northern Virginia that
made a better record in the Confed
erate service. It entered services
for the Confederate States in April,
1861, and went through the war,
fighting in the last battle on the
morning of April 9th, just before
General Lee surrendered the army
of Northern Virginia at Appomat
tox court house.
The Grave was a member of the
2nd Georgia battalion, an I for years
it formed a part of Wright’s Geor
g a Brigade, and participated in
every batile in which that brigade
whs engaged. If the students ot
Confederate military history want
to know the hi-tory of the Spald
ing Grays, I would refer him espe
cially to the record nude by
Wright’s brigade—one brigade that
I know never assaulted a position
occupied by the enemy that it did
not carry, and the 2nd Georgia bat
talion and tt>e Spalding Grays were
always th* ’ ’nd did their part, and
coniri:...ute ■. i.oir full share of dead
and wounded to win the victory.
A better company never entered
the Confederate service, and I know
of none that came out with a better
record.
Those are some of the reasons
why I think the name should be
adopted and why I would like to see
it perpetuate d on the military roster
of our State.
It was my good fortune to serve
with the Grays from start to the
surrender. Nearly all of them were
good, true and tried soldiers and as
such I love my dear old comrades.
Trusting that you will pardon me
for troubling you with my views, I
remain, Very respectfully,
J. W. English,
Member Co. D. 2nd Ga. Bittalion,
Wright’s Brigade, Army N. V.
