There is more Catarrh in this

to cure with local treatment pro-

SLAVE MARKET OF LONG AGO.
Georgia Town Contains Structure Which

Georgia Town Contains Structure Which
W,tut So d Human Auct. Gus.
Louisville, Cain this quaint little
town an old wooden structure known
as the "slave market" stands near the
public square. 49,.
The building was erected somewhere
in the neighborhood of 1896, and it's
timbers of oak are in remarkable
state of preservation. The structure
was built and used: as a slave, market,
where owners brought their human
property to be auctioned off.
The tower contains bell which
bears the French court of arms and
the date 1772. The presumption is that
the bell was captured from French
merchant ship during the, war of the
revolution and brought to the. little
backwoods, which for several years, in
the early days of Georgia, was the
state capital. ~ =. e3 -" w.
The market proper is about 100 feet
square, being a pavilion shaped af-
fair with small Office in the center.
From the date of it's erection until the
close Of the civil war it was the center
of some lively and unique scenes. I.
A slave dealer would arrive in town
with a long string of slaves. The bell
would then be rung for about half
hour, and when the planters and veal
thy citizens of the town had arrived
| the sale proceeded. It is roughly esti-
mated that thousands of slaves have
been auctioned off at this place, and it
was the center of the trade in the
southern portion of the state. +.
i A story is told of beautiful octo-
room slave girl, who, having escaped
from owners who did not claim her,
was put up for sale. She was about to
be sold to a notoriously wicked man.
when, in preference to living, she
drove keen blade into her bosom
and, despite all efforts, bled to death.
