Tho prisoner insists that every

Frank Sharon, »’i young barber

her asleep, kissed her three times,
then put his pistol to iier neck and
killed her instantly. He says
“something crossed his mind and

Gen. Phil. Cook, “our member”

lie was opposed to Scorctary Fol-

to store it, pay off tho national debt

is of no more political importance

they bow repudiate their promises,

According to the Nash.ille Jtan

to bo the largest cotton planter in

from liis cotton seed, obtaining
about two nnd a half gallons from

worth about 33 cents per gallon,
which would make the yield of the

On Friday last the Macon daily
Telegraph and Messenger, one ol
tho oldest papers in tiic State, was
purchased by Messrs John Jones
and J. F. Harrison. Andrew’ W.
Reese, who was part owner of the
paper and its Washington corres
pondent, lias severed connection
with it. Col Albert Lamar, who
during the Forty-sixth Congress
was tally clerk of the House, is the
editor under the new management.
The paper sold for $22,000. Col.
Harrison, who owns a large inter
est in the Telegraph and Messen
ger, was a member of the recent
tariff convention held in New York,
nnd is known to be tn favor of a
protective tariir, and it is stated
that lie will control the policy of
the paper. It is also stated that
the paper would be hostile to tho
railroad commission of Georgia.
Tlio Telegraph is one of tho best

Some Resolutions.
At a regular conference of tha
llcthusdu Baptist church, held
November 2Gtb, 1881, the follow
ing rosolutioiB were unanimously
adopted by its members:—
Whereas, There has been for
some lime, and oven now exists,
an unpleasant feeling between the
members of above church and the
Rev. J. C. Bryan, that should not
exist among true Christiuns, and
Whereas, The said Rev. J. C.
Bryan claims that the said Bcibcs-
da Baptist ^|iiircb owes him over
one hundred and forty dollars
($140) for services rendered. And
Wueueas, The said Rev. J. C.
Bryan lias used this us evidence
against the said church, which
tcuds to impede the progress of
tho church. And
WinsiiEAs, There lias been per
sons expelled from the said church
according to tho laws of tho church,
aud laws made during liis pastoral
care of the church, ‘(a law that the
said Rev. J. C. Bryan strictly en
forced,) lias attempted to organize
themselves into a church. And
Wueueas, The said J. C. Bryan
is giving his aid and iiillucncc in
trying to build up thu said persons
as a church, and lias fully proved
himself complicated in it. And
Whereas, The way in which lie
eouducts himself when allowed to
preach, and the way in which lie
boasts abo-.it it, lias become offen
sive to the ehiirub and causes a
great deal of confusion afterward.
And
Whereas, Tho persons who have
been expelled from tile church and
gone oil’, wore the leaders ill mak
ing this deht upon the church, and
havo gone olf and loft thu aaid debt
upon the said church, to pay which
is not just or equitable. And
Wiikreal, The church is not sat
isfied to he in sueli confusion,
therefore he it
Jtesolued, By the members of
Bclbesda Baptist Church in Con
ference met, that on and after the
adoption of these resolutions that
we will not give onr consent for
lliu said J. C. llryan to preach in
our church or tike part in any
worship in thu church any more as
long ns such a slate of allhirs exists
as do now; and that we will not
give our consent to pay anything
upon the said debt until the saiii
J. 0. Bryan assures us that lie is
not trying to lead people away
from our church from whom wc
must got the money—and especially
those that have been expelled—and
a re construction is brought about
among us as Baptists at Aincricus,
and that wo ate willing and ready
for it at any time. And be it
Farther ltesolced, That we ex
press our deep regret that such a
state of nlfiiirs should exist with a
missionary whom wc assist in sup
porting, it being our desire to have
them bring us together, and not
pull us asunder.
Be it further ltesolced, That we
furnish the Baptist Sun and the
Americas Recorder, each with a
copy of these resolutions, and re
quest them to publish them for the
church.
Done by order of the church, in
conference assembled.

The Millcdgevillo Herald says:
Tho Macon Telegraph recently
published an article about an old
map, which, it is true, was some
what aged, but onr friend, George
Carnker, told us lie could beat it
by one many years older. And
now wc have it before us,in a good
state of preservation, though it
was found in an old unused collar
and lias seen a rough time. It was
engraved by Samuel Harrison, in
1818. Tracing tire lines on this
map, we find the Ocmulgco river
was the western boundary of civi
lization, and the Lower Creek tribes
roamed the forest and hunted
the turkey and deer right where
Harry Edwards now sloshes around
in search of local items for the
Telegraph and Messenger. A lit
tle dot marks the spot occupied by
Fort Hawkins on the eastern side,
and a ferry is noted about where
the foot bridge now is—it being on
tlie road from Milledgcvilio to the
Creek agency. The fair city of
Macon still slept in the undreamed
future. (By tie way, we have an
old newspaper, published at Mt.
Zion, Hancock county, which con
tains an advertisement of the first
sale of lots in tho present city of
Macon.) Franklin was the extreme
northern county—beyond it tho
unexplored mountain regions. Tho
population of the counties is given
according to the census of 1810.
There were tlurly-nino counties.
Wilkes was the most populous
county, numbering 14,887. Chat
ham comes next, with 13,540; Bald-
0,35(1; Richmond, 0,350; Hancock,
13,330.

Jctlcrson Davis landed at Ho.
boken at ono o’clock this afternoon,
on tho steamer Neckar, from Brem

ter crossed tile slippery deck in
thu rain, and dived into a saloon.
The first object that met his eye
was a small, slight man, with gray
hair and beard and pale blue eyes,
liis face covered witli wrinkles,
who proved to bo Mr. Davis. Ho
was sitting oil a bugo trunk, and
wore a long rough ulster, witli a

was fatigued a little, blit otherwise
iiis health was good. Mr. Davis
said that lie should leave for Beau
voir, Loiiisana, on the next train
via the Pennsylvania railroad, go
ing direct from the steamer. Ho
anticipated great pleasure in liis
coming retirement, and spoke cn-
thusiastically of Beauvoir. His
stay abroad lias been mostly at
Chantilly, France, and in Germa
ny, where Miss Davis has been
staying.
lie was asked about the success
of liis book abroad, but said that
lie knew nothing about it. liis vis-
it abroad has becu solely for pleas
ure. The Confederate bond move
ment in England lie confessed to
be in entire ignorance of. His
face lighted up with a genuine
smile of humor when the subject
was mentioned, and lie said: “I
do not recollect just at this time
of any substantial reason why a
fund should have accumulated in
tho Dauk of England or anywhere
else that could in any way be ap
plied to payment of "bonds.” His
health was very poor while abroad,
and lie did not enjoy bis trip. On
political matters he becamo very
reticent. He bad a paper contain
ing the President’s message in his
baud, and said that lie should have
great pleasure in reading it. He
would express uo opinion on the
political situation, simply saying
that he believed the spirit of har
mony was beginning to be felt be
tween the north and the south,
and that lie hoped it would con
tinue to do so.
