TO Ask Mcintosh Memorial
The Georgia legislature will be
asked at it's present session to appro-
pirate enough money to build in Car
rollton a monument to General Will
liam Mcintosh, and to place a marker
on his grave on the Chattahoochee
river. This was announced last night
by Judge Millican in his mastery
address on the history of Carroll
county. General Mcintosh was the
half chieftain OF the Southern
Creeks, whose loyalty and bravery in
the early days of Georgia secured
for the government the Indian treaty,
ceding to the United States all the
land southeast of the Mississippi.
His services in this respect and his
valor under General Jackson in the
Indian wars have never been recog
nized either by his country or by his
state. Judge Millican paid a magnifi-
cent tribute to General Mcintosh,
and many of the editors promised
their help in getting the appropria-
ton through the general assembly.
