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 The old man helped to build the first framed house ever erected in Atlanta, it was the office of the Western and Atlantic railroad and was situated on the corner now oc cupied by the Kisers. The only houses then in the city were two or too young to be seperated from its three cabins. Railroads were scarce mother, who lias been held in jail.! but as the old man expressed it a public roads. I few days before he died, “stage Owing to tho dry weather we find j horses were as plentiful in them the roads to he in unusualiv good I days as car horses is now.” He condition for this season of the also helped to carry a chain when year.

' 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, Mrs. W. C. Sibley. .Augusta, Ga. State President, W. C. T. IT, Miss M. H.
