It was formerly the custom at the
funeral of a great mar to dress up an
effgy representing him while in life,
and then to carry it before his hearse to
the grave. After the burial it was. set up
in the church, sometimes under a TEN
porary monument, to which a laudatory
poem or an epitaph was affixed. The

back to the fourteenth century, but the

dred hands TO come to Macon last Mon.
day to get their share of the last crop
money. They commenced arriving in
town bv seven o'clock, and by nine the
street had all the appearance of a dav
before Christmas. OF course all the
womer and children didn't come in for
a share, but only those with whom con.
tracts were made. Among these about
50, 600 Twas distributed. 1t has been
many DAYS since So many wagons were
loaded. in a simmer day with goods Of
everyy description, and some OF them
wanted the very best to be had. Said
one old venerable amen corner brother.

money was invested in guns and furni"
ture and many new trunks were filled
with dry goods, shoes. etc. They were
very orderly throughout the day, as
happy as any lords. and not one was
seen who had made the acquaintance OF
a blind tiger.
Mr.. Jones has no trouble in securing
all the hands he needs, as he deals
squarely with them and they receive
every cent due them, Besides the
above mentioned places he has other

A CITY OR A

In view that the Town is going to
have Wateworks, and Electric Lights
and going to build herself up that
she might assume the aspect OF a
City, it occurs to me that it sab0ut
time to quit pastlring cattle Or for
our Town to cease becoming an old
field for cattle and stock to u at
large. People who desire to beauti-
fy the sidewalks by planting trees,
can i'll afford to do so as long as the
cows are allowed to run out, and if
our City Fathers or Law Makers will
read their Bibles more, especially
the DIST Chapter of Exodus, begin
ing at the 2Sth verse, which reads
as follows:
"lf an OK gore a man or a woman
that they die, then the OK shall
surely be stoned, and his flesh shall
not be eaten, but the owner of the
OK shall be quit. But if the OK be
wont TO push with his horns in the
time past, and ii hath been testified
to lis owner, and he hath not kept
him in, but he hath killed a man or
a woman, the OK shall be stoned,
| and his owner shall also be put to
death. If the OK shall push a man
servant or a maid servant, then, he
the owner of the ox) shall give I'M
to their masters 80 shekels OF silver,
and the OK shall be stoned, &C."
We fee assured that they would
pass the needful ordinances that will
terminate our Town from a pasture,
and help those who want TO beauti-
fy their little City to accomplish
their purpose, Children playing or
the sidewalks or in the streets are
| always more or less in danger from
vicious cows; young ladies very
frequently take the road on account
of beng afraid OF cattle standing on
The sidewalks.
You appreciate the fact that good
milk and butter are not only a lux
ury, but a necessity, but public in
terest does not Justify our streets
to be made a pasture. nor our chill.
dren in danger from vicious cows.
In fact it is necessary to build such
high fences in our Town as would be
necessary to keep cattle in lots as s.
cattle buyer would, on account of
every kind Of a COW being turned
loose in our streets.
We hope our present Board at its
next meeting will look into this
matter. and pass appropriate ordi-
nances. CITIZEN.
