Tho citizens huve been gradually get

dus grew into stampede after ResacO.
They moved to south west Georgin, Ala
bama, and some to Florida. Some OF
the latter wrote back that the had run
tight into the Yankees "awny down In
, Florida" ind wished they had staid at
nome. They believed they would follow
them to the worlds end.
The place was settlrd in 1898. when
the country about here was fret laid ou,
and the central lots Distributed by l2ttery
There were, during good times, sixte.er
stores, two druggists, eight groceries
three hotels, four churches, viz: Mc,ho
Jist, Baptist, Presbyterian, and Epis co

beside small schools Tor young children

In leaving the Rebels literally swep
the place clean oi every article of valu
or of utility which could potsibl
be of any. use TO the incoming army
They lore up about mile and half O
the railroad between Big Shaniy and Ma
rletta, and carried off all the frogs from
switches, to delay our advance and en-
barrass cur movements. II is the frs
instance in which they have done this |,
