SIGNING OF CREEK
TREATY AT INDIAN SPRING
Miss Joe Varner Tell* of Mclntosh
Signing Document by Which
Georgia Acquired Vast
Territory.
Indian Springs, Ga., August lS.—
(Special)—The ring of the war-hoop
no longer breaks the stillness of the
night at this former gathering place
of the Creeks, but Miss Joe Varner,
who soon will celebrate her 85th
birthday, has vivid recollections of
the time the red man stalked supreme
where the debuntante and the ailing
now find enchantment and recreation.
Miss Varner still lives in the home,
known as the Varner house, where
was signed the fateful treaty through
which Georgia acquired a vast terri
tory of millions of acres west of the
Flint river, and the doughty General
William Mclntosh lost his life at the
hands of his own people.
This building, started by the Creek
chieftain himself in 1821 and com
pleted in 1823, was the home of Miss
Varner’s parents, whose stories to
her supplement her own recollections
of Mclntosh and his followers on the
old Georgia frontier.
The counter on which the document
ceding the Creek’s tract to the state
was signed, still is in use for regis
tering guests, though the visitors to
day find the resort much more tran
quil than on that fateful day in 1825
when friendly and hostile Indians
took turns at speaking, on the large
rock in the front of the Varner house,
for and against the signing of the
treaty.
Miss Varner’s father bought the
house built by Mclntosh. Although
this aged lady’s health is not good,
she still is active for her age, and
her agile memory enables her to talk
interestingly of the early days of
Georgia history.
According to Miss Varner, Mcln
tosh was a very brilliant man and
friendly to the white man.
“He appreciated the advantages of
having his people sell these lands to
the white man and moving to the
Indian territory,” she said. “So for
a year or more he mingled with his
people, telling them of these advan
tages and trying to persuade them
that the treaty was the most advanta
geous thing for them to do.
“Finally, after several unsuccess
ful attempts at getting them together
to sign a treaty and cede these lands
to the white man, a meeting was ar
ranged for February 12, 1825.
Indian’s Gathering Place.
“Indians from all over this section
gathered here for the occasion. In
dian Springs was always the gather
ing place of the Creeks because of
the water here and it was the natural
place for them to meet to sign the
treaty. While General Mclntosh and
the three commissioners were inside
the hotel, hostile Indians not in favor
of the treaty gathered outside.
“Every little while one of these
; hostile Indians would get up on the
huge rock, which is marked by a tab
let, and made a speech, trying to
arouse the Indians against signing it.
This continued even after the treaty
was signed.
“Hostile Indians would make a
speech and then they would be an
swered by friendly Indians who fav
ored the treaty, trying to make the
others realize that it was the best
thing to do. And that is how this
rock became famous.
“Indian Springs, even in those
days, was quite a resort and people
from all over the country came here
for the water. Mclntosh kept a room
reserved for him in the hotel and
stopped here frequently, although he
paid for it just the same as any guest
did.”
Treaty Rock.
The large rock in the yard of the
Varner house bears a tablet reading:
“Here on February 12, 1825, Wil
liam Mclntosh, a friendly chief of
the Creek Indians, signed the treaty
by which all lands west of the Flint
river were ceded to the state of Geor
gia. For this he was murdered by a
band of Creeks, who were opposed to
the treaty. This tablet is placed by
the Piedmont Continental chapter of
the Daughters of the American Revo
lution, A. D., 1911.”
Miss Varner has a copy of The
Georgia Journal, dated June 14,
1825, which has a complete report of
the contents of the famous treaty.
This paper was published at Milledge
ville. She also possesses much of the
original furniture of the old hotel,
among which are some chairs.
The room always reserved for Me-
Intosli still contains some of the old
furniture, including a high four
posted bed. Miss Varner also has a
few of the old hotel registers used at
this hotel in early days.
Interesting features of the old reg
isters are the column* down the right
hand side of the pages for entries on
how many in the party, including a
column for children, another for
horses and another for servants. All
of those things had to be taken care
of by the taverns in those days.

MR. W. J. MULLINS DIES
Was Prominent Citizen of South
Georgia.
William Joseph Mullins, a promi
nent citizen of Baconton, died at the
Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital
yesterday afternoon at 6 o’clock, fol
lowing an operation, his death com
ing as a surprise to most of his ac
quaintances. His advanced age, 77
years, was believed to be the cause
of his failure to stand the operation
successfully.
Mr. Mullins was a leader in his
community, where he had lived for
twenty-five years and taken an active
part in the affairs of his town and
county. He was a prominent mem
ber of the Baconton Baptist church,
and a Mason with Royal Arch,
Knight Templar and Shriner degrees.
He was a charter member of the
Baconton lodge and was its first
worshipful master and was a past
master at the time of his death. For
twenty years Mr. Mullins served as
superintendent of the Baptist Sun
day school of Baconton and was suc
ceeded by one of his sons when he
retired.
Mr. Mullins was a former repre
sentative of Mitchell county, in the
Legislature, and had otherwise been
honored by fellow-citizens who held
him in highest esteem. Friends of
his who were in Albany today de
clared that he always stood for right
things and public progress, that he
worked constantly for the upbuild
ing of the community in which he
lived and that he will be greatly
missed in the little town he loved so
well.
Mr. Mullins was a Confederate sol
dier, a member of Company F, Sec
ond Georgia regiment. He was also
a member of Camp William Slaugh
ter, United Confederate Veterans,
headquarters of which are in Albany.
Born and reared at Milner, in Pike
county, Mr. Mullins moved to Bacon
ton about twenty-five years ago. He
was a contractor by profession and
many of the homes in Baconton were
built by him. His first wife died be
fore he left Milner, and his second
wife was Miss Anna Glauzier, of Ba
conton. After her death, he was mar
ried a third time to Miss Mary Cul
breath, of Baker county. All of his
children were by his first marriage.
His wife and six children survive
him. The children are: Ed Mullins,
of Statenville, Ga.; E. B Mullins, of
Baconton; S. G. Mullins, of Pelham;
Joe Mullins, of the United States
Army, stationed at the Panama Ca
nal Zone; Mrs. Owen, of Barnesville,
and Mrs. T. S. Jackson, of Baconton.
The body was taken to Baconton
this morning by the Albany Under
taking Company, and funeral services
will be held this afternoon at 4
o’clock, conducted by Rev. T. M. Cal
laway, pastor of the Baconton Bap
tist church. Burial will be at Mount
Enon cemetery, three miles east of
Baconton.—Albany Herald, August
10th.
