Batti.k Ground. —About 7 or 8
miles from this place, near the farm
of Mr. Horsely, a battle was fought
j betwien th e Creek Indians and the
whites. This fact happened about
the year 1836. It was a hotly con
! tested affair, resulting in driving the
j Indians southward. Mr. T. R. Whit
aker, now a bailiff of this district, was
a participant in the fight.
Dkcoration Day. —The 26th of
April is near at hand. Ladies, re
member the day set apart as a tribute
of love and respect to our fallen he
roes. I ake hold of the matter with
an energy and perseverance, and
make the day complimentary to the
patriotism of the fairer sex. Begin
in time and then the matter will be
well attended to.
A Valuable Bible. —We had in
oui hands a few days ago a Bible
that was the means of saving the life
of its possessor. At the bloody bat
tle of Chickamauga, the book was in
the side pocket of the coat directly
over the heart; ahull struck the book
shivering the cover and indenting
itself half way through the pages of
the work. A narrow escape.
Have We a Board ok Health ? |
Dawson is proverbial for its healthful
ness. It ranks among the most healthy'
towns of the state. We defy contra-!
diction ; nevertheless summer is ap- j
proaching and safe guards should be
thrown around ns. Our yards, alleys,
streets, etc., should he looked after
and everything continued in a health
ful condition. Let us have a board
of health.
Private Discussion. —We have
been told that the ministers of Jack
sonville, Fla., held a private discuss
ion on the subject of Hell Well,
we are tired of the matter ; we felt
“fire and brimstone” some sixteen
years ago, and it was practical , at
that. It came out of the mouths of
riffle, cannon and minnie muskets.—
We heard it then and there and slight-
Iv felt it. We don’t want it talked
about.
Sunday School Mass], Meeting.—
W e are requsted to state that the
Rev. Samuel Ant' ony, General Sun
day School Agent for the South Geor
gia Conference, will hold a Sunday
School mass meeting! at Enterprise
church, nine miles north of Dawson,
on the third Sunday in March, next.
The Dawson, Chiekasawhate ie and
all other Sunday schools in reach are
invited to appoint delegates to the
same, and everybody is invited to at
tend.
What’s tub Matter?.— “Hell," a
little while ago, was a prominent
woM in the newspapers. Now it is
“dancing.” The last subject is cre
ating quite a commotion in some
communities. It has got to be “Red
hot" in Atlanta between Dr. Left
witch and Mr. Block, a deacon in
the Presbyterian church. The con
troversy was spicy, ending in the
suspension of Block. How great a
blaze may be kindled from a little
fire. Our advice would be, “watch
and pray."
Practical Young Ladies. —We
understand that several of our vonng
ladies will soon leave us to take
charge of schools. Our best wishes
go with them. In the school-rooms,
the women of our day and time can
best develop those noble qualities
which God has implanted within
them. All over onr beloved south
ern land woman, as a writer and edu
cator, is taking a high stand, and the
good that they will do can not be
over-estimated. School teaching, in
the hands of women, is a “mission,’
the most honorable in our land.
The War Ended.— We mean the
Cuban war. Well, we are glad of it.
The people of that little Island made
a long and brave fight, but we have
been fighting for the “meat and
bread" question longer and braver,
and the end is not come yet. But
to day we are sorter helped up; we
have in our charge a “Mexican dol
lar" and the clink of it in onr pock
ets with a few nickles to-boot, makes
us feel gladder, besides, we know
that the silver bill has passed, and
that we are going to work harder
this vear than we ever did before,
and we think good will be made. All
these things make us feel sorter bet
ter than we did yesterday.
W
Gone. —Our esteemed young friend,
Willie Janes, feft last night tor Au
gusta to engage in the drug business
with Messrs. C. T. Goitchins & Cos.,
of that city.
Fine Pictures. —We have just
received a lot of fine steel engravings
and chromos from George Stinson <fc
Cos., Art Publishers, Portland, Maine.
This is a first class house, and, proba
ly, does the finest work of this kind
in the LTnited States. One of the
chromos, “Calla Lillies” is the pret
tiest and finest work of the kind wc
ever saw.
A Strange Idea.— A young limb
of the law unburthened himself to
“ye local" the other day. In
speaking of the peculiarities of clergy
men and the good that a “little
change” in the pocket worked upon
the feelings of a fellow, he went on
to say that he was told of a preacher
who borrowed five dollars from a
member of his church just before
commencing service, and then re
turned the amount after service, with
the remark that he had preached bet
ter with five dollars in his pocket
than he would have preached had he
been dead broke.
Have We a Public Spirit? —We
ask if the military company is dead ?
One good soldier boy r , “armed and
equipped as the law directs,” showed
himself on the parade ground on the
22nd. He was indeed a forlorn
hope, the only one to respond to the
call. We think the best course for
the military company to pursue is to
disband or go to work and build up
the company on a substantial foun
dation. A well organized military
company is the “right arm” of any
community, and it is a sin and a
shame to let the organization go by
the board. They need help from
outsiders, and surely a little effort can
be made. Is there public spirit
enough to take hold of the matter ?
We will wait and see.
MAJ. HENRY ATKINSON.
The subject cf ’liis sketch was imr i
in Cumbei land, Nova Scotia, March
21, 1821, and died in Dawson, Gi.,
F-h. 6, 1878, m iii- 67**i ye*t. Lli
fattier was an Englishman, hi mnitiei
a native o< Ireland. Of his early
history, we liavehut little minia.tn>n>
When about 16 years of ng,*, he
engaged as an apprentice in s carriage
factory at Sackviile, New Brunswick.
At the expiration pt his turn of ap
prenticejhip, he was not satisfiml with
the trade he had learned Accord
ingly, he determined to prepare him
self for greater uselulness in life, by
seeking the education which he felt
necess ry for this purpose. Here we
first see an exhibition < t the energy
and perseverance which chaiacteriE-d
him through life. Although now 21
years of ”ge, and with Eery limited
means (his parents being poor, and
having reoeived but 374 cents from
hi- employer during bis apprentice
ship) he attended school at Suckville,
N. 8., for some time, paying his boa. and,
tuition, etc., by doing all the work he
c- uld in the meantime to meet his
expenses.
Alter leaving school, he went to
Boi.*i>n and then to New Yn*k in search
of employment. By diligence, econ
omy ami steady habits, he acquired
some means which he invested in a
merchant vessel. A* out the year
1850 lie came to Savann h, Ga., aoi
commenced work in one of the car
shop* tneie; and soon afterwaids
married a Mis 9 Phelps of that city
His industry and skill were soon re
warded hy promotion io the positii o
of draftman and patern-maker for
he shops, which position be held un
til about the commencement of the
war.
He w a member of the Chatham
Artillery; but when war came, and
the services of skilled machinists were
especially needed, he was assigned to
duty in the arsenal in Savannah, and
made foreman. In this capacity he
served with much credit to him-e'f,
satisfaction to his employers and ben*
efi* to the country. In the manufac
ture of arms, and some times in di
reeling the mounting of the heavy
guns of the forts near the city, his
B°rvices were highly appreciated.
He nltei wards removed to Macon,
G . In family then consisting of wife,
laughter and son, and was firs: em
ployed in the atsenil and then in the
C. R R. shop of that citv. In the
year 1865, he came to Dawson, and
entered upon the discharge of the
luting of Bu|ierinfendent of the Cat
Factory of this place, which position
ho ably fi led until the clote of hig
use ful life.
Possessed of na ordinary powers of
mind, resolute in spirit, unwavering
in purpose and indefatigable in his
labor*, be surmounted gieat obstacles
and reached high po-llioo as a me
chanic and architect. Many buildings
and some of the streets in Dawson,
planned and in conduction directed
by him, bear pleasing testimony
ot his aichirectui at taste and
skill. Another, who is himself no
ordinary machinist, raid j..st before
toe Major’s death, thet H was n pity
that -uch koowlodge as he possessed
Could not be transferee! or perpetua
ted to benefit th world after hw had
gone. The Dawson Manufacturing
Cos., cm scarcely hope to have bis
{.lace so well fried.
Strictly upright in all his transac
tions and gentleman’y in deportment,
he commanded the respect and esteem
of all who knew him Strong minded
and clear righted, he had much influ
ence over those with whom he was
associated, both in I uriuess and social
circles When there was work to be
done which riquired application, he
gave it his whole attention, so much
so. that he was sometimes considered
abrup'; hut in society he was ever
courteous and sinceie. Ha lecognixed
the claims of humanity upon him
and was ready, if need he, to divide
the last morsel with ttie needy, the ugh
such objects wore . in some instances
unworthy of Ins generosity. On one
occasion, duri> g the war, at a time
when Wheeler's cavalry were opera-
ting near Macon where he then lived,
two soldiers of that command called
at his house for food, just as the fam
ily were going to supper The tneal
was sciut, with no facilities’tor the
immediale preparation of more. True
lo the rules of hospitality, the Mijor
and his nite cheerfully abstained
from eating that night, requesting the
troopers to take the food intended fur
the family. They did so, ami more.
Not being watched, on leaving the
| 'able, tiny took the silver forks and
spoons. They were, herhaps, or the
Butler family. In relating this occur
r nee to the writer, the Major cou- lud
ed by saying, “They even took my lit
tle son’s tin cup.”
He was a hn’ough master of vocal
and instrumental music, wi’h a bass
voice of well nigh matchless power.
Our community has enjoyed many
speudid musical enterlaininsn sand
inner interesting exhibitions undei his
efficient leadetship, and will long feel
th loss sustained by his death.
Iu June last year, he re'uctantly
yielded to the advice of his physician i
and the impottunnies of friends to
cease from work by which fie was !
physicahy much exhausted, ml went
to the springs of N -nh Oa., hoping le
recruit his failing health. He return
ed in the fall somewhat improved; hut
soon there was lurthbr decline, and
he was compelled to take his hed,
from which ue nevet rose again.—
His sufi. rings, though protracted and
s v. re, were born- with much patience
and fortitude. While lie lived in
Ha.annah, he was an exemphuy
member of the M. E. Chuicli, and
though he removed without asking
for a letter, Hnd so for many years
lived out of the Church, and, as i e
fieely confessed to the writer do ring
ins si' kness, failed to exert that i flo
eece on ihe side of religion that he
should have done, which he deeply
regretted and piayed tor health ag tin,
