A Gin Worth Receiving.

On Dec. "a, 1872, A. A. Rolf, gentle
man OF considerable property, who was n
citizen of Macon made deed of gift OF
torty-nVe acres OF land lying adjacent to
the city, between Nineville and the Co
lumbus road, to the city of Macon and
Bi0b county for the purpose Of erecting
suitable buildings thereon for the main
tenance of the afflicted and destitute Of
the county and city.
Mr.. Rotfs intention was TO have COM
modlous structure built which was to be
known as the "R0ff Home.' Tue grounds
were ample and well located and the gift
was most munificent one, indeed, and
VIII perpetuate the name Of the generous
donor - long as the city of Macon is
known a the map OF the great world.
The troubl0us times and the poverty
stricken and en- 5arrassed condition OF the
country at that time prevented the civil
authorities from executing this grand
project. Tue buildings on the present
site OF the county hospital were sufficient
ly commOdious to accommodate the deetl-
tute at that time, aud the ground which
Mr.. R9h made Christmas gift of has lain
Idle and unimproved for thirteen years.
81 late the buildings at the hospital have
begun to G9Jay, and the city and county
have been discussing the propriety OF
utilizing the Rolf property. After good
deal OF negotiating, the city Wednesday
made quit-claim deed of her share Of
the property to the county, under certain
conditions, plainly set forth, by which
the rights OF the city are fully protected,
and its privileges remain unrestricted.
In the event that the Commissioners &C
cept the deed the work of erecting build
lngs that will furnish ample accOmmOda-
lions to the poor OF both county and city
will begin at once. The land lies on a
hill, from the crest of which one gets as
1ne view Of Macon as is to be had any,
where about the city. There is q gentle
slope each way, so That the drainage is
naturally perfect, and altogether it is one
of the finest pieces OF property in Bib
county. A the time it was donated the
authorities hesitated about accepting it..
Its tax valuation was $1,500, and now, if
1T were cut up in lots and sold it would
bring at least SIS, 900.

SUIT OVER A CORPSE.



From WseaesSays Asisnta Cd Coastit,ttOa.
Mrs. Allie Belle Pierce, who. claims
that she is the3widow of J. w. Pierce, the
Texan who was killed in the Georgia Pa
clfic road accident on Dec Ia, filed a suit
in the Clerks Office of the Superior Court
yesterday, askinst the court to Snioin Mrs.
j. P. Weaver FROM having the remains OF
her husband removed nom 18estvisw
cemetery.
Mrs. Allie Belle Pierce says that she
was married to ). W. Pierce In Deem
Der, 1879, in the State Of Texas, and that
they lived happily togeths 81 until up to the
time le met such horrible death. That
Pierce saws that her husband has lived IN
Texas all his life, AID that his occupation
aud business has been that Of stock
dealer. In November last he came to At
lanta with several carloads OF horses,
which he disposed OF and started back to
h's home, when he was killed In the
wreck.
Mrs. Pierce was Informed OF the death
OF her husband, but as she lived seventy
i've miles from the nearest railroad sta
ton aud nearly as far from a telegraph Of
fee, she feared the remains of her hus-
band would be too badly decomposed be-
fore reaching her home, so she instructed
Mr.. W. D. Jones, by telegraph, to have
his remains inferred, and that at
some time she could nave them car
ried to his late home. She says Mr..
Pierce was honOred and esteemed
by all who knew him. He had many
noble traits of character, and wac 4
loving husband and father. A short time
after the death OF her husband abe was
surprised and filled with indignation at
finding that a woman, who styled herself
Mrs. j. p. Weaver, a resident OF Indian
apolis, was claiming Mr. Pierce as her
husband, and that she came to Atlanta,
and, without authority or warrant of law,
proceeded to the cemetery and, with the
cooperation of the officials, had the
BODY TAKEN FROM THE GRAVE.
This was done withoutnotice or consent
Of Mrs. Pierce and caused her much grief.
The said Mrs. Weaver claimed to identity
the body as that OF her husband, j. z.
Weaver, alias j. w. Pierce, and that she
was married 10 him IN 1867, and lived
with him till the summer OF 1882. Mrs.
Pierce says the action of Mrs. Weaver
and the officials in taking the body up
was wrongful, ana that Mrs. Weaver's
statement that he was her husband is
false. She says that deceased never lived
IL Indiana and never married Mrs.
Weaver.
Yesterday morning hrs. Pierce was in
formed by q note from the manager OF the
Westview Cemetery Company that the
company would, at 3 O'Clock IN the after.
noon, turn over to Mrs. Weaver the re-
mains OF Mr.. Pierce. This fact caused
her great anxiety, and she knew If the
company should do such q thing they
would commit u great wrong and cause
herself and child great modification. For
the sake OF this and the memory and fame
of her husband she asked tue court to en-
join the company from interfering with
the body.
Judge NJ. j. Clarke granted a temporary
injunction, and will hear the case on
Feb. 10.

AN INTERESTING LAWSUIT.
Mr.. r. L. Moss Refuses to Pay for the
Gainesville SOuthrOn.
IL. n

GaiBesvflle SOuthrOn.
From the Athens (Ga.) Banner.
During the Speer-Candler campaign,
Col. Lawshe flooded the country with the
Gainesville S0utbron. 1t was understood
that the papers were sent out free by Mr..
Speer az campaign documents, and while
a majority were refused, great many
were taken from the post office by the
parties to whom they were addressed.
Among the SOuthF0ns that thus came to
Athens was one addressed to our esteemed
fellow-citizen, Mr.. II. l.. Moss. This gen.
tleman naturally supposed that
Mr.. Emory Speer, with whom be
was personally friendly, sent him the
paper as a compliment, continued to take
it from his box. Several weeks ago Col.
Lawshe sent to an Athens lawyer great
stack OF those campaign subscription
Hills, including one against Mr.. Moss for
SO 80. On presentation Mr.. Moss said he
had not subscribed for the Gainesville
SOatbrOn; that it was sent him voluntari-
ly by the editor, and he would not pay
the bill. Suit was at once instituted be-
fore Justice Evans, and Mr.. Moss en-
pl0yed George ID. Thomas, Esq, one Of
the ablest lawyers In Athens, to defend
his case. But the court decided in favor
Of the SOuthrO1l, and Mr.. Moss gave no.
bAOC w appear W AHC superior OOuIbs
Judge Evans notified Mr.. Moss that he
could not do this until he had paid the
costs in the case, amounting to about as
much as the original bill, as also give
bond for twice the sum involved, viz, 81.
Mr.. Moss proposed to let the question
Of costs stand until final settlement OF
the case. and the man who lost pay; also
that instead Of going TO the trouble OF
hunting up DOndsmen for the 81. that he
would deposit the amount in cash. Both
propositions Judge Evans reject
ed. when Mr.. Moss paid the costa
and furnished bond. He has in
structed Mr.. Thomas to carry
the case not only 10 the Superior Court OF
Clarke county, we learn, but II that tri-
bunal decides against him TO carry il up
10 the Supreme Court OF the State. Those
who know best the character OF Mr.. Moss
say he IL incorporating when he feels
he is in the right, and that he will spend
$1,000 before he will pay Col. Lawshe that
So 30 for subscription, as he feels that he
does not owe II. A great many other of
our citizens are being pressed for sub
scriptiOne to the SGuthr0n, and they are
red-hot about IL, too.

Prohibition Pointers.



The incidents related below tend to
show small portion of the evil effects Of
the liquor traffic. They are not drawn
from fancy or imagination, but are facts
which can be substantiated:
Some days ago man came to Hawkins
Vile with 81 so, which amount his poor
wife had succeeded in collecting together
for the purpose 81 buying meat. The hus-
band left home fully determined to spend
the money as his wife directed. He
didn't have pound Ofmeat in the house.
He entered a store where liquor is sold,
and, yielding to the temptation which has
ruined him and thousands of other men,
he called for drink, and when he finally
left town he had only 30 cents worth Of
meat, having thrown away 81 Of the hard
earnings of his poor and unfortunate
wife.
Another instance: A poor woman re-
siding seven or eight miles from town, on
the east side of the river, and whose chill
dren were clothed in rags, saved up So or
So worth of butter and eggs. Her husband
having occasion to come TO town, she en-
trusted the butter and eggs to his care
and requested him TO buy cloth TO make
the children some ga ments. Imagine
the feelings of that confding wife when
her husband returned home about mid
night in beastly state Of intoxicatiOn,
having spent every cent of the proceeds
arising from the sale Of the butter and
eggs for whisky.
And still another instance: It was Sat
urday night, and in a small hoVel in an
adjoining county, sat a man ana his wife,
They didn't have a particle of meat, and
not cent of money. The poor wife went
out and selected a fat chicken from
among her poultry, and, returning to the
house, she asked her husband TO take the
chicken 10 country grocery store near
by and exchange it for bacon. He sold
the chicken for 25r., bought loo. worth of
whisky and 10c. worth-of bacon.
