PARALYSIS OF THE HEART.
RANSOM .MONTGOMERY, “THE WAUI) OF
THE STATE,” MEETS AN IJN-
EXPECTEI) DEATH.
Constitution.
Ransom Montgomery, an old
colored man who is known exten
sively in the city and all over the
State, died suddenly at Ins home
on Forsyth street, yesterday, of
paralysis of the heart.
The old man was long known as
the ward of the State. He lived in
this county during almost his en
tire life, having come here when
only twelve years old and dying at
the age ot seventy-five.
In 1845 Hansom was a slave nnd
was living on the old DePoor ierrv
place, which is near the Challn
iioochec river bridge. 0..e day
soon alter the Western and Atlan
tic road was started, lie saw that
the bridge over the river was on
fire and at once left liis ferry boat
and proceeded to the scene of the
conflagration, On arriving there
lie found that the watchman had
gone to an election and that the
bridge had caught from a passing
locomotive. He set to work to ux-
tinguishdj:e fire nnd worked witli
greaX-GHOT^y nearly the entire day,
at last succeeding in saving the
bridge. His m-rviii's were duly
appreciated by the State. He was
purchased and given ^bis freedom
and the State employed, him as a
watchman or office man around the
State road depot. He was given a
house and lot near the old Macon
nnd Western roundhouse, and it
was understood '.but he was to have
a home and employment as long as
be lived. Sherman’s men tore his
house down, but after the war ho
rebuilt it. When the State road
was leased the new management
dismissed Ransom, who had then
been overtaken by age, and was
not able to do much work. He was
also turned out of ids house. At
the last session of the legislature a
resolution was passed directing that
he be given some light work around
the capitol at$15 per month salary,
which was done, and he has been
serving the State since the first of
October. Governor McDaniel will
pay the expenses of the funeral,
ly collect. We recommend that
jurors be paid $2.00 per day;’bail>.
ifffl $2.00 per day; riding'bailiffs
$3.00 per day, for the year 1884.
We also recommend that Mr.
Nick Kenney be paid 15 cents per
day for a certain child that was

An Appeal to tho People of Georg a
From the Homen’s Christian
Temperance Union.
The Woman’s National Christian
Temperauce Union have appointed
the 23d ot December ns a day of
thanksgiving anil prayer to God ior
the rapid advancement of the tem
perance cause throughout the
world. The progress has been so
marvelous of what was considered
a few years ago a “forlorn hope”
that God has surely been in it,
working upon ti c hearts and con
sciences of men and women, and
stirring them up to duty, and to
the performance of His will.
“The morning light is breaking,
The darkness disiipp-nrs,
Tho sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears.
“Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar
Of earth’s remotest nations
Prepared for Zion's war."
And the light that is breaking is
so full of “promise” to the wretch
ed and hopeless, to the captive and
sin-burdened, to the helpless and
defenceless, and to the suffering
and perishing, as to appear almost
like the sccoud coming of the Star
of Bethlehem I
Let God’s people, then, every
where tako courage, and rejoioing
with thanksgiving, help along in
the work.
We call upon our own State es
pecially to return thanks for the
glorious victo.ies gained, and the
good benefits received! Our sister
States are looking toward us witli
interest and for example. Gnd grant
that we may set them a noble one
of a speedy anil lasting reforma
tion!
• The day set apart is t-lic anniver
sary of the women’s temperance
movement in our country, and as
it falls upon Sunday the ministers
throughout the Statesare requested
to preach a gospel temperance ser
mon on the morning of the 23d,
and the people requested to have
temperance mass meetings in the
niternoon or nl night, at which col
lections shall be taken as a thank
offering to tho cause and donated
to the Woman’s Temperance Chris
tian Union to help them in their
work.
The funds will be used mostly in
the distribution of temperance
literature for the purpose of arotls-
ing nnd keeping alive the interest
upon the subject. Many good peo
pic may he willing to help us who
are opposed to “total abstinences”
and “prohibition.” We hope they
may help us. And to them we most
earnestly ask the question that, it
tlie original “blessing" has been
turned (through misuse and adul
teration) into the most blighting
curse to the human race, and is so
recklessly destroying souls that
are so precious in the world to
come, as to keep two kingdom
(heaven and hell) at constant war
fare for the possession of them, then
is it not right to beg God’s deli .-er-
mice . from sueh an evil, and to do
all we can to banish it from onr
midst'(
If we arc wrong in our work
may God pardon it and “brine it
to nothing.” If right, may He
bless and direct and prosper i
To those who are opposed to us
we claim leniency for the sake of
our moti vc and the good we hope for.
To those in sympathy with ns, wc
ask their prayers ami their encour
aging help. And as the 23d ot
December is a day set apart for
tills especial purpose wo hope the
efforts will be made in our behalf
throughout, the entire State.
We beg that “temperance
especially will exert themselves' to
make arrangements for the oo
casiou. Respectfully,
