as his assallant was dangerous character,
had provoked the quarrel, and was advanc-

When the Emma Abbott Opera Company
was there last winter Atlanta made an ac-
QUESTION in J. c. Abdeil, tenor, who de-
cided be would cast his fortunes in the Gate
City He made many friends, threw open
the doors Of the "Abdell studio" to the
public and soon had large class. The Cen
trial Presbyterian choir considered them
selves fortunate in securing this fine tenor,
and each Sabbath he delighted the lovers
Of fine music in the large congregation of
that church. Two weeks ago Sig. Audell in
formed his friends that he would be COM
PEELED to leave the city, but would only be
absent couple Of days. 1t is ascertained
now that he told several different stories
about his trip out Of the city. The absent
tenor has not yet returned, and the class of

choir are vainly looking for the gifted
tenor. Not word has been heard from

his mysterious and prolonged absence. IL
is proper to say that there is nothing wrong

of people would like TO know where he is,
and if he is coming back.

with. The case was then put in the hands
of detective, but as he left the city shortly
after the stealing occurred. the matter was
not pushed for some time. Lately Bailiff

Brunswick ADVERTISER: Recently two
young Georgians graduated with honors at
a distant medical college, and returned
home in all their glory Of plug hats and
patent leather shoes and latest style collars

negro residing IN the community died of
some strange Diseases strange that the
resident pracucing physicians hesitated to
designate for it any of the nomenclature
with which their profession abounds. The
young graduates announced to their inner
circle of friends that they intended to ex-

perfect state. The grave was opened

The following is an extract from letter
from Indian Spring: What pretty name,
the Oboothlacoosta.' 1t is the river at In
dlan Spring. Across the stream a foot
bridge spans its way leading to the beauti-
tut tower OF the rock mansion of the Collier
family. Just down the stream is mill. and
on the other side of the mill the
Opotheoholo empties into the Oboothla-
coosta. Between these two streams
Is the reservation, and here is
the medicine water of the Indians. No
wonder Mcintosh was charmed, and here
built his dwelling place. In 1914 when
VIM. Mcintosh and his friendly tribes occu-
pied these lands he invited the Georgia
officials to visit this spring, and it was
thenceforth called Indian spring. Mcintosh
built his house here for public entertain
ment IN 1928. His old sgn-post of fat light
wood is still on duty. The venerable house
is now occupied by the Misses Warner, aud
is in splendid preservation. Miss Joe
Warner points out the rock on which Col.
Duncan Campbell stood as he explained the
treaty to the Indian chiefs which was to
give them lands beyond the Missis
sippi in exchange for theirs between
the Ocmulgee and the Chattahoochee
The first council was held
at broken Arrow, on the Chattahoochee
and failing the second was held February
II, 1875. The treaty was ratified bv Presi-
dent Monroe, but was abrogated by Presi
dent Adams, his successor, and out of the
conduct OF Adams sprung the troubles be-
tween the state of Georgia and the United
States government under Gov Troup. In
the treaty Mcintosh was allowed to retain
ms ranch and home on the Chattahoochee,
IN Carroll county. This, together with a
dissatisfaction at the general treaty, led
Big Warrior, chief of the Muscogee confed-
eraey, at the instance especially of the
Octuskees and Tookabatchas tribes. to plan
for MclntoSh's assassination. This treaty
and the killing of Mcintosh made the In
