Another Belled Buzzard
Is Added to Dazzling
Record of the State

The latest contribution to the
belled buzzard anthology of Georgia
for The Journal at Baldwin, Ga.
Mr.. Watts writes an interesting
account of the belling of a buzzard
by one Reuben Jordan, the year after
the War Between the States. Ac-
coring to Mr.. Watts, or rather to the
tradition he recites, both Reuben and
the belled buzzard started westward
soon after the belling, and neither
returned-unless, indeed, the belled
buzzard recently in evidence should
be the one belled by Reuben.
Mr.. Watts writes:
Journal a few days ago, Who Belled
the Belled Buzzard" which has
caused great comment throughout
the south. l notice letters from as
far south as Florida and a number
Of people claim the honor of putting
the bell on that buzZard, or buzZards,
whichever the case may be.
"Now, the mystery is whether the
buzzard that was caught in Banks
county by Reuben Jordan the year
after the Civil war, and belled, is
the one so many people have seem.
ging for gold on the old Jordan farm
near the Moss mill and for some rea-
son this bird had wandered away
from it's nest and Reuben immedi-
ately captured 1t and proceeded to
bell the buzzard, after robbing a
sheep of it's bell, which he fastened
around the buzzard's neck with a
leather strap. Before he let it go,
Reuben carved his name and address
on the bell, which was a very small
one made of silver.
Immediately after setting the
huge bird free he wandered up in
the air and went westward, and, &C
cording to Reuben'S statement, the
bell could easily be heard a quarter
of a mile.
"a few years later, after being
convinced that no gold was to be
found, and the 'belled buzzard' not
having returned. Reuben decided to
go west and neither he nor the buzz
zard, SO far as we know. ever re-
turned.
The mystery seems still ansolved
as to who did bell the belled buzz
zard that has been seen in SO many
states by. SO many people"
