| May 9, 1829 OBITUARY. Died in Muscogee county on the 25th of April, 1829, Mrs. Lydia Chapman Of Monroe county, in the 72nd year of her age; in the death of this truly amiable and Excellent woman, an extensive circle of friends have to mourn the loss of one of Their brightest ornaments, and a numerous family of children have to deplore the Loss of a faithful and experienced guardian and friend. To a fine and cultivated Mind, Mrs. Chapman added a suavity of manners and a mildness of disposition that Endeared her to a devoted family and an admiring circle of acquaintances, and by Whom her death is deeply deplored. All thought Mrs. C. died at “a good old age”; Yet her death if possible, is more deplored by her family and friends, than if she Had been cut off in the prime of life. They have been so long accustomed to apply To her for counsel and advice, and to rely upon her wisdom and experience in all The difficult and trying exigencies of life, that her loss is felt with a force That transcends the ordinary loss of the head of a family. But they have the Consolation of believing, that she died in the full assurance of the hope of a Blessed immortality; and hope was anchored on the “Rock of Ages.” Her long and Valued life was marked with the strictest purity of Christian Morals; and never Did a Human Breast contain more of the mily of Human Kindness than hers. She was Emphatically a follower of the meek and lowly Jesus; and she evinced her faith in Him by humbly endeavoring to perform those duites, which he by his life and Doctrines inculcated; and which shed a moral luster over the life and character Of his humblest followers. |

| October 30, 1830 MONROE SUPERIOR COURT. October term, 1830 We the Grand Jurors chosen and sworn for the county aforesaid, having completed The usual duties of the Court, now proceed to make our general presentments. The grand jurors aforesaid congratulate their fellow citizens of the county, That under the benign influence of an all-wise Creator, they are enjoying a large portion of health, with fields abounding with plenty for the comfortable support Of life, and for the harmony and good feelings which characterize the body of our Fellow citizens of the county; nor can this body refrain from expressing great Pleasure in finding a large portion of our fellow citizens refraining in a Considerable degree from the use of ardent spirits, and holding in disrepute Those who from day to day re found ‘hangers on’ around the retail shops indulging In almost habitual drunkenness to the great annoyance of the good order and Morals of our citizens. But, not withstanding the blessings enumerated we regret to say that from The officious intermeddling by individuals of other states, with the internal Government of our own state, that the publick mind has become greatly agitated With a subject, deeply involving the interest and future destiny of the good People of Georgia. And we feel confident that a crisis has arrived, when the Active cooperation of the good citizens of this state, should be offered to the Deliberations of the Legislature and constituted authorities of the state, in Regard to the right of soil, which the state holds within that part of her Territory lying within the Cherokee Nation, and believing that this body in Common with others have the right of publicly expressing their opinion on a subject So intimately connected with their immediate interest, and sovereign rights As a State – Believing therefore the Legislature of the State in passing a law Extending the jurisdiction of the State over that portion of her territory lying Within the civil and criminal laws of the State, and we are clearly of the opinion, That the law ought to be so amended, as to insure the enforcement of it in the Complete subjugation of all persons, Indians as well as whites, to its civil and Criminal jurisdiction, so as justice may be done to a misguided and miserable race Of beings. We are apprised that the policy of removing the Indians west of the Mississippi, has been condemned by designing political demagogues for electioneering purposes, and there may be some who act under the influence of false information or, mistaken philantrophy. Notwithstanding the opposition of such men and the hired threats of Mr. Wirt, Georgia knows her rights and will pursue them. (To view the Georgia 1830 May, see: http://www.familyhistory101.com/maps/ga_cm.html) In conclusion we approve of the policy of the President of the United States In effecting the permanent happiness of the Indians by locating them west of the Mississippi, and if the policy pursued by the State in cooperation with the President In his humane and benevolent purpose is persisted in the desirable object will be Secured. And to this we will as far as we are concerned (and we believe it to be The sentiment of the county, and of the State generally), that we will support the Constituted authorities of the State, in all legitimate and constitutional measures To carry into effect the rights which the State has in, and over the territory lying Within her territorial limits. We have had under consideration the subject matter of reducing the number of The members of the Legislature of the State, and we are unanimously of opinion that They ought to be reduced, and believing that the object could be best secured by The call of a convention for that purpose. We recommend our Senator and Representatives To use all their influence in the Legislature, to procure the call of a convention, Provided said convention can be restricted by law to the single object of reducing The members of the Legislature and equalizing the representation. The Grand Jury of Monroe county recommend to the Inferior Court of the county, To purchase ten able bodied negro fellows, between the ages of 18 and 25, as public Hands of the county, to be placed under the direction of an experienced overseer, For the general improvement of the markets and settlement roads of said county, Provided the funds of said county after paying the debts of the county are sufficient As early in the year 1831 as is practicable. The Grand Jury present David Holmes for keeping his store house doors open, and Suffering disorder in his store house on the Sabbath, in the county of Monroe, to wit; On the third day of October 1830. Witnesses, Giles Dewberry, John Dewberry, and James McCommon. The Grand Jury having carefully examined the Jail of said county, find From its state of general decay with the contractedness of the dungeon, and Small size of the windows that humanity is made to shudder at the miserable Condition under which the unfortunate victim is placed when immured in the Dungeon of said jail amounting to little short of death; and the grand jury Believing that the jail is not commonly intended for a place of punishment, But as a place for the custody or safe keeping of prisoners, and believing that The upper room is altogether insufficient for the safe keeping of those who May be committed for minor offences; do therefore earnestly recommend the Inferior Court of said county to cause to be built an entire new Jail on a More enlarged plan, making the prisons more commodious, and the windows larger With large bars and more space between them so as to admit more freely the Circulation of air, for the health and comfort of persons who may be confined Therein. The Grand Jury having carefully examined the books of the Clerk of the Inferior Court, find them neatly and fairly kept, and on examination find in Notes due the county, the sum of six thousand one hundred and eighteen dollars And forty-nine cents; and the grand jury, would recommend the Inferior Court Of said county, to require persons indebted to the county to renew their notes With good and sufficient security. The grand jury allows James May, Tax Collector of this county, for the Year 1830, fifty-three dollars and forty-nine cents, for his insolvent list. The grand jury require as a condition for the allowance of the above Insolvent list, that the Tax Collector forthwith turn over to the Clerk of The Inferior Court of this county, all the insolvent Fi Fas issued for the Taxes for the aforesaid year, 1829; and the grand jury request the Inferior Court Directions to us all legal and necessary means for the collection of said Insolvent Fi Fas, and report at the end of the year, the amount of money Collected to be held subject to the order of said Inferior Court. In taking leave of the Court we respectfully tender to his honor Judge Strong, our thanks for his polite attention to the Jury during the term of this Court, with the full assurance of our confidence in his ability and his faithful Discharge of his official duty. The grand jury request that these presentments be published in the Georgia Journal, and Macon Telegraph: Elias Beall, Foreman John Cureton Jeptha Hill Eleazer Adams Nail McMullen Robert Wynn Charles Wamack Moses Dumas John Powell Zach.

The Parcels of cotton were beautiful – prettier lots of unland staple were probably never Seen – and in awarding the premiums, the committee on whom that duty devolved found No easy task, where the claims of so many appeared so equally balanced. At the hour appointed, samples having been fairly drawn from each bag and laid Before the committee, (who of course were ignorant to whom the cotton belonged), In a retired room in the court house, each lot by itself, and numbered, the Committee proceeded with due deliberation and care to make up their decision. Having so done, they came out into the portico of the court house, and proclaimed The result to the anxious crowd below, and forthwith delivered the premiums. The first, a large Silver Tankard, valued over $100 was awarded to Mrs. Penelope Bryan of Twiggs county, she having exhibited the best lot of eight bales. The same cotton was afterwards put up at auction and sold for 13 cents per pound, Purchased by B. S. Griffin.

JUNE 18, 1831
MONTPELIER SPING, MONROE COUNTY, GA.
The Undersigned, after great labor and expense, is at length enabled to offer this establishment to the notice of the public. In a climate like ours, where the enervating influence of long and warm summers is experienced by all, inviting the operation of causes, tending to the production of autumnal disease, it is an object of no trifling import to the community to have recourse to a situation in which the assaults of disease may be prevented, its violence mitigated, and recovery rendered speedy and effectual. Such a place the undersigned honestly believes he is offering in the Montpelier Spring. Independent of the advantageous location of this establishment; situated in a region unquestionably healthy; the medical qualities of the water, are of a character entitling it to high claims upon the confidence of the community. The waters of Saratoga and Ballston have, long since, rendered them places of estensive resort, both by invalids and persons of fashion. And the signal benefits derived from their use by persons laboring under chronic disease (especially of the digestive organs) have obtained for them well merited celebrity – and from a pretty accurate analysis, by gentlemen of competent science, comparing the result with the analysis of the waters of Saratoga and Ballston, as published by Dr. Mead, they find the waters of the Montpelier Spring, to possess, with a trifling exception the same chemical qualities. As a chalybeate containing more iron than the former and less than the latter, with a large proportion of the muriates of soda and lime; the most striking difference being the absence of uncombined fixed air, with which the Saratoga water abounds. Of the beneficial application of this water is disease, the proprietor is enabled to bear ample testimony. In chronic affections of the liver, spleen, and their concomitant functional derangement of the stomach; he can confidently assert that he has seen no remedy of equal value. In dyspepsia, that hydra of modern times, it is an invaluable remedy, when aided as every remedy must be, by the temperate use of a well selected regime. In diseases of the skin, and particularly tetter in all its variety, it is a certain remedy. In dropsies from visceral obstructions, chronic rheumatism, and that relaxation and debility consequent upon a residence in low, unhealthy situations, its value is not easily estimated. Abundant testimony could be produced to establish the truth of this statement, were it necessary; but an intelligent community will make the experiment and decide for themselves; and with their award the proprietor will cheerfully rest the reputation of the Spring. The undersigned assures the public that he would not thus recommend the use of the Montpelier water, but having been extensively engaged in the practice of medicine in Georgia for nearly thirty years, claims the right to judge of the remedy he recommends. This fountain is situated in one of the most healthy and best improved situations of Georgia, seventeen miles from Macon near the road leading from that place to Thomaston. His building is large, airy and comfortable, situated on an eminence, high and commanding, surrounded by springs of the purest water, and refreshed by an atmosphere pure and invigorating. The proprietor will be able to accommodate comfortably one hundred regular boarders, and as many transient persons as may favor him with their company; and as interest and liberality are inseparably connected in such business, it is his determination to keep as good a house in every sense of the expression, as is kept elsewhere in the Up Contry. His BAR will be stored with the best; his STABLES well furnished and attended. His Prices will be the same as those charged at Indian Spring. Comfortable TENTS will be prepared for those who prefer furnishing their own board. NICHOLAS CHILDERS, Montpelier, Monroe County, May 18, 1831. |
