The members of the commission, ap
pointed by the Governor to select a
proper location for this institution,
are doubtless carefully gathering the
information necessary to enable them
to discharge that duty wisely and
faithfully. In compliance with the
law, they will undoubtedly, as .has
been heretofore stated, fix upon that
locality which, other things being
equal, will offer the best inducements
in the way of material aid, such as
property or money. Any community
that proposes, in plain language, to
bid for it, should prepare at once to
make known what it can afford to of
fer to bring this valuable institution
within its borders. The benefits it
would confer are too obvious to re

to take such action as may be necess

Something should be done and that

making of some effort to obtain it and
our central, healthful location and
the kindly feeling which yet lingers
among the people of the State for the

would count for something, in fixing
upon a location for the school.
Death of Mr. A. W. Martin.
Mr. Archibald W. Martin was bom
in Hancock county on the 12tli of
March, 1810, and departed this life, in
this city, on the 27th of April, 1886-
his pilgrimage on earth being seventy
six years, one month, and fifteen
days. His parents moved to this city
when he was about ten years of age,
and his youth and early manhood
was passed here. His mother, who,
after the death of his father, married
Capt. Win. F. Scott, kept the LaFay-
ette Hall for a number of years, and
had charge of this noted hostelry in
1825, when General LaFayette visited
this city. Mr. Martin was a soldier
in the Florida Indian war, and after
wards settled in Macon. He spent
portions of his life in Forsyth, Ameri
cas and Gwinnett county ; and after
the late war, lived for some years
with a son in Texas, finally returning
to the home of his youth, to close his
long and somewhat eventful life. He

Mr. Thos. J. Hall, caught out of his
mill pond last Aveek, three carps, the
largest of which weighed fourteen
pounds. Carp, very small in size,
were put in the pond about three
years ago, and Mr. Hall is of the opin
ion that they breed very much faster
than any other fish in this section.
The pond is well stocked with other
fish of various kinds.

results of the war, but lost three noble
sons, killed in battle. His youngest
daughter married Mr. H. V. Sanford,
of this city, and for the past few years
his home has been with them. His
son, Mr. Robt. Martin of Eatonton,
was with him in his last brief illness.
His funeral took place from the Meth
odist church (of whieti he was a mem
ber) on Wednesday morning at 10
o’clock—Rev. J. D. Hammond offici
ating. The pall-bearers were Dr. T.
O. Powell, Col. R. L. Hunter, Messrs.
W. T. Conn, B. F. Denton, M. Hines,
and J. N. Moore.
Mr. Martin received in his youth all
the advantages of education that the
country afforded. He possessed a
high sense of honor, and all the warm
and generous impulses for which
wealthy Southern men have been
noted. In his latter years he found
in religion a solace for his losses and
disappointments, and learned patience
under the tender and softening influ
ences of the Holy Spirit. He w r as
fond of reading and spent much of
his time in our sanctum. We shall
miss him sadly. We enjoyed his spir
ited conversation. We were pleased
to hear him talk of old time incidents
in the history of our totvn, and watch
the flash of his eye, and hear his
sometimes hearty laugh. Only a few
of the companions of his youth are
left. God bless our old men. Let the
virtues of those who have passed
away he remembered and imitated,
and those who still linger on the shores
of time be treated Avith due respect
and re\’erence.
