An Aristocrat Stops Over
We had a distinguished visitor in
the city. Arrived Wednesday eve
ning last and sought entertainment
in a barn (rather singular place for
aristocrat to ask it) and after
wards went home with our friend
Sperling to spend the night. He
was labeled 8,701 with a very light
aluminum card and withal was one
of the finest flying machines made.
Oh, if man could only invent on
like this one! His weight was.
maybe a pound and his stretch of
wings about twelve inches This Is
guess work on our part. He was a
beauty with his lovely dove grey
coat and splendid irrideseent breast
His plumed head and proud step
marked him for a thorobred. He
was so accustomed to kind treat*
ment that our Hebrew friend had
no tr< üble in picking him up and
escorting him home for the night
from the inhospitable street.
On the morning following he had
rested sufficently to indicate he
would like to continue his air cleav
ing for home and far away friends
Where he came from was not di
v ilgcd by any sign, but from the top
of Sander’s Wagon Factory he rose,
circled awhile as he went up higher
■*nd higher and finally took a course
that divided the compass ab ut
equally between North and West
grew “small by degrees aud beaut!
fully less” until the air swallowed
him up Piease write as soon as
vou eet h me and let us hear of
you, Columba.
The Children of the Confederacy
Held Its April meeting at the home
of Louise Temp’eton, and we are
ndeed indebted to Mrs, Templeton
for a most delightful meeting.
The children are very regular in
attendance, and are very much in
terested in the work The study oi
he lives of our Confederate gener
tls has proven quite a pleasure and
a great benefit. We want each
member of the chapter to make
Gen. Jackson’s mottoes theirs. He
<aid: ‘You be whatever you
resolve to bo.” The great and trood
general added the words of Paul
the great Apost'e, ‘I can do al
hirgs thro Christ which strength
eneth me.” These mottoes were
the key notes of his life, and led tb<>
penniless orphan boy to become one
of the immortals.
Avery nice paper on the life of
(jlen. Jackson as a teacher was
read by Florence McElmurray. Af
ter which we had questions, and
answers to same were in Confeder
ate generals names. This contest
was very helpful and interesting.
The following committees were ap
pointed.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM
DR. W. B. BURROUGHS
Regarding His Recent Visit to
Waynesboro.
Macon Ga, May 3,-Mr. Editor:
in my search for Colonial and Rev
olutionary relics for exhibition by
the State at Jamestown, it was my
good fortune to spend last Saturday
in your historic town and I was
amazed at its wonderful growth
arid development. I am under
obligations to many of your citizens
for courtesies extended, but espe
cially to Mrs. Win, E. Jones, Pres
ident of the D. A. R, who called tor
me at the hotel in her elegant lan
dau aud beautiful pair of iron grays
and devoted the afternoon iu point
ing out the places of historic inter
est, among which was the spot
where the Burke Jail stood and a
great battle was fought there in 1779
m which Colonels Twiggs and Few
defeated the British under the no
torious and c.tel Colonels Brown
and McGirih. History tells us that
in this battle C p ain Joshua If -
man killed three o the British.
It was at this old jail where Nan
cy Hart of Revolutionary Fame,
opened its doors and liberated her
son in-law who had cut off the head
of his wagoaer who re used to obey
his order. In speaki goit re occur
rence, she remarked ‘That’s the
way with them ail Drat’em, when
they get into trouble, they always
send for me ”
This remarkable woman was six
feet high, and very muscular and
ike all women, very much devoted
to the principles of her country, and
hated the British and Tories.
On one occasion while alone with
her little girl, six Tories entered
her cabin and ordered dinner, His
tory tells us she was a famous cook
as well as a fine markswoman.
when the smoking venison and
oread were placed upon the table,
.he Tories stacked arms and sat
down ; quick as a flash she seized a
muskei and with an oath said ‘The
first one that moves, I wiil kill him”
and turning to her daughter said,
‘ Go and blow the conch ” The men
coming, the Tories suffered accord
ing to the rules of the times, but
nothing in the war of the Rvoiu
lion ever equalled the butchery and
cruelty of Colonel Thomas Brown
•ommanding the King’s troops, who
had our women, men and children
• brown in the fire and burned alive.
When Waynesboro became the
capital of the county, the Inferior
Court Justice passed an order, that
the old church six miles distant on
the o!d Quaker road from Augusta,
to Savanuah, should be pulled down
moved to the county seat and used
as a court houie; but Lawyer Allen
true to the teachings of his mother,
opposed the order and quoted the
Bible to these Justices. “My house
shall be called a House of Prayer,
but you have made it a den of thiev
es.” In his opposition he was suc
cessful.
It was with great pleasure that I
heard from Mrs. Jones, much of
Buike’s revolutionary history, and
I was rej >iced to learn that tte
chapter which she had the honor to
preside over, owned the historic
battle ground.
To The True Citizen to your
worthy Mayor. Col E E. Chance,
and Messrs. Munnertyn, Bell aDrt
Gresham f r courtesies iu the cot rt
house, where hang the oil portraits
of Judge E S. Garlick and Judge

Looking upon the portrait of Jud

•everted to the early struggle of our
State University for life.
Burke county nobly responded,
furnishing three of the seven grad
uates for 1806 showing her determi
nation to excel in knowledge and
xcellency, and it was the good for
une of one of her sons, Dr. James
Whitehead to win the first honor
in hisclas-; he with his brother
J >hn, ‘tie said, loved Judge Berrien
*8 a brother, but John’s love for his
lister Julia Berrien, and James
love for his sister, Ruth Berrien
was stronger and culminated in
happy marriages, and here we find
one familj? in old Burke county fur
oshed three sevenths of all the
graduates in 1806. Should I trace
fhe descendants of these three geD
tiemen, what a wonderful exhibit
would they make!
This college has had a struggle
and three years in succession, in its
infancy, failed to graduate a man,
to-day it is one of the best Univer
sities in the world.
With personal regards,
Yours truly,
W. B. Burroughs,
