HOMICIDE IN TWIGGS COUNTY
  We learn that last week, a man by the name of Railey, a brother of the ex-Sheriff of Twiggs county, was instantly killed by one Hooks. The circumstances, as detailed to us, are these: -
Railey met Hooks in the road riding with his wife in a buggy, and said he would whip him (Hooks) then and there, but for the presence of his wife, but next day it should be done in his field. Accordingly, next day Railey went to the field where Hooks was at work, and inthe act of getting over the fence, was shot by Hooks, the ball passing through Railey's jaw and killing him instantly. Hooks surrounded himself to the officers of the law, but after examination was discharged from custody.

THE NOBLE WOMEN OF TWIGGS. ONE HUNDRED CHEERS FOR THEM!
   The 4th of March found not only all the men but a large number of patriotic women of Twiggs, assembled at Marion, for the purpose of responding to the requisition made by Gov. Brown for troops for the war. The quota of Twiggs was forty-eight men.
  The gallant Colonel, Daniel G. Hughes, having his regiment in line, made the announcement and called for volunteers, when our astute friend, Daniel Bullard, Esq., judging other men by his own feelings, slyly made his way to the group of ladies gathered near the stand, and suggested to them to fall in as volunteers. No sooner said than done, and the volunteer line was filled with a bevy of as beautiful and high souled women as ever made lovers' hearts beat quickly. This was too much for the men of Twiggs, and instantly a rush was made to fill the ranks, and in a few moments eighty fine, stalwart and brave soldiers responded to the call. We suggest, if another demand is made for troops, that "Bullard's trick" shall be played on every muster ground in the Confederate States, and our word for it there will be no lack of men to fill the ranks of our patriot army. Good for Bullard-better for the women of Twiggs.

CAMP DONELSON, GRAHAMVILLE, S. C. BEAUFORT DIST., March 25, '62
Editor Telegraph - Knowing that many fathers and mothers in old Twiggs would be glad to hear from the Slappey Guards, I pen a few lines for your paper, as it has a very extensive circulation in our county. We all arrived safely at Camp Davis, and while there had some sickness, as we were exposed considerably to heavy rains. To say that the Slappey Guards compared favorably with any company at Camp Davis, is not saying enough, for I really believe ours was the best looking men in camp. We remained there several days, and before we left, the ground was arranged, the officers in command having every stump dug up and every street put in fine order. Our boys worked well, and as they had left home to fight, being very anxious to whip the enemy and return home at once, their portion of work assigned them had a great tendency to cool them down. In truth, one of our men said positively he would not eat any more until he was better satisfied. I presume his dissatisfaction occurred from the fact of a battle being delayed so long. He did not eat any at all in two days, but by persuasion of friends his determination was changed. So long then as we have such men as Mr. R__, (near Jeffersonville, Ga.,) in our ranks, we have nothing to fear. Upon last Saturday the election of field officers came off, the result of which you have long since heard. Permit me here to state that our gallant Captain, U. A. Rice, at one time, could have been elected Colonel of the 49th Regiment, but on account of very unfair wire pulling he withdrew his name. A high sense of honor prompted him to do so. He, in my judgment, was by far the best drilled officer at Camp Davis. Suffice it to say that the Slappey Guards are commanded by  a gentleman of the purest stamp. It will be gratifying to the friends of Dr. Wm. T. Zachery to learn that he was offered the appointment of First Surgeon of the 49th Regiment, but his kind heart prompted him to remain quietly with his own little band. He was one of the examining physicians at Camp Davis, and his report gave him great credit throughout the whole camp. His easy and graceful manner, together with his ready competency, gained for him the highest position had he seen proper to accept. Again, our company went into Gibson's Regiment at a late hour, and even then he was tendered the position of Assistant Surgeon, and we cannot prevail on him to take it. Those of our fathers and mothers who have sons here owe Dr. W.T.C. no little gratitude, for his attention to the company is without an equal. Our esteemed friend J.B.W., is as fat as ever, and "double quicks" finely, and will make a splendid officer. Lieut. H. L. S. grieved a few days "about the pretty girls left behind him," but now he is at his post and does his entire duty. I find him to be full of business and will at all times do himself credit. In fact all of our men seem determined to be useful to their country. I say this from the fact that I have been in camps two and a half weeks, and know their feelings. The election, as I started to mention above, took place at Camp Davis last Saturday evening, resulting as follows: Wm. Gibson, of Richmond for Colonel; R. W. Carswell, of Jefferson, for Lieut. Col.; and J. Randolph Whitehead, for Major, (of Burke.) The latter gentleman I know well, being an old college mate of mine, at Athens, Ga. I am proud our boys are with him, from the fact that I know him to be generous and kind. He is well known to the country as Jack Whitehead, and I would here respectfully say to his friends that Jack knows his duty and will perform it. Very soon after said election, this Regiment, the 48th, ordered to Pocotaligo, )pronounced Poke-he-tail-he-go) South Carolina. The origin and pronunciation of this word I will explain to my friends when I get home. As soon as possible our boys arranged their household, preparatory to travel. After traveling some 85 miles on the Central, Charleston and Savannah Railroad we were ordered to halt at Grahams Station. There we took of our baggage &c., and rested for farther orders, which we received in a very short time. We are now in camp about one mile from the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, near Grahamville, one of the prettiest villages i ever saw. It contains about five hundred inhabitants, who are intelligent, industrious, and you can see hospitality pictured upon every face. We are twenty miles from Port Royal, and seven miles from the coast. I am creditably informed that there are fifty thousand of the enemy upon that Island, busily at work.  They have captured a great many negroes, who, however, are making their escape upon every possible opportunity.
   They (the enemy) call Port Royal "The New South,"   but no addition can, as yet, be made to it. South Carolina is doing what she promised to do. I find Carolinians here in service over sixty years of age, and they are determined to see this war to the end or die on the field. There are strong forces here, and I would be please to give a full history of their preparations, but  I am not authorized to do so; it being against special orders. I will state however, that it is understood here that the enemy design taking possession of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad at the bridge  across the Savannah river, but before they do it they will have a heavy and protracted fight. These forces are commanded by Gen. D. S. Donelson of Tennessee. He and his family are in Grahamville. The General is in fine health-very plain and agreeable, and is about sixty years old. His mind is fully fixed upon the duties of his position.
   The 48th Regiment numbers 843 men, and they are upon beautiful ground, being the old militia parade ground of this district. It is well improved, and I think healthy. I would be pleased to give my friends in Twiggs county a full history of our coast defences, but it is not allowed; yet I will say we need more men. I learn this morning Governor Brown will soon call for twelve thousand more men. If so, why will not our county furnish a sufficient quota to the four companies now in the field from noble old Twiggs. I cannot close my letter without saying something to my fellow citizens upon the subject of planting corn. I have been somewhat on this and the Georgia coast, and I must say we have much to fear in the way of provisions.
   There is but little farming going on along the Georgia coast and this, and I am force to say, from the facts before me, that he who would fail to make a full share of provision, gives a severe stab to his country.
  I have very often thought of our meeting in Twiggs county, relative to a cotton crop where it was agreed upon to plant one-fourth of a crop to the land. I must state, I am now urged to say, we were wrong, and Judge Wm. S. Kelly in his opposition to our resolutions was right, and his arguments were formed upon a sold and correct basis. I see it now and feel it. The whole South should plant an abundance of corn-or we are ruined. In fact we should plant no cotton only for home purposes. The horses here at this time are being fed on rice, and corn is now very scarce. We have no use for cotton now, but meat and bread we must have; therefore see the responsibility resting upon every planter. Cotton will not pay debts, and it has failed to answer our purposes. I know it is pleasant to make cotton, or has been, rather, and if we continue its culture for the present, we subjugate ourselves. Let the debt alone. We have not time to study about them. Every honest man pays a debt with pride, but now we should turn our whole attention to this crisis, this war, and give all we have, yea, place our lives upon the altar of liberty, to obtain our rights, and protect the character and institutions of the South, against the slanders of the North. The sword is now drawn by a strong army, and every planter should remember that we must live and fight upon our own resources. We have nothing to hope from the action of England and France-nothing to hope from any source except from the Supreme ruler of the Universe - the wisdom and strength of our leaders - the strong arms and stout hearts of Southern men and the patriotic and generous impulses of the women of the South. The Confederacy must and will depend upon its own resources for strength sufficient to carry through every trial and contest now before it, otherwise we fall an easy prey before the enemy. A hint to the "wise is sufficient" on the subject. I would respectfully ask, in conclusion, upon this point, that our country should study its duty well, and then do it.
  We who live in the interior are blessed somewhat, but we must as a people defend our neighbor as well as ourselves. We cannot be conquered if we just feed our soldiers, and he who fails to do his duty in this respect is a traitor and does not know what freedom means, and should be hung at once to make room for true men.
  Once more, can we do anything in our county towards a preparation for making salt. It would be a good thing if every county in our State would aid in this work. We need everything, from a "pin to a cannon." The season for solar evaporation I learn is near at hand, and we trust the article will not be higher than in the war of 1812-1815. Yet it will be, if we fail to give it immediate attention. Why not Twiggs county take a sufficiency of hands, go immediately to work, and furnish her people with this article at fair prices. I leave this to older and wiser heads. Trusting something will be done on this subject, I must now close by saying, we are expecting a fight here every day, and whenever the first cannon roars, it will do our boys good to hear it as a signal for battle. Very respectfully, D. G. HUGHES..

Obituary. I yesterday witnessed the last tribute of respect paid to the memory of our departed friend Lieut. W. J. Solomon, Company B, 14th Georgia Regiment, by his brother Masons, but feel it incumbent upon myself to remind the friends and relatives of
the deceased though he has passed from earth, his weary sold has winged its rap'd flight to heaven, and his wounded and mangled head is now pillowed upon the bosom of Jesus, leaving an example that all might be proud to follow, he proudly wears his laurels.
  Obedient to his country's call he left his home on the morning of the 14th of July, 1861, and having endured all the privations of a campaign in Western Virginia saying nothing of the many battles in which he so nobly served, he at last fell mortally wounded on Saturday the 13th of December, when so many of our gallant Georgia's sacrificed their lives on the altar of their country. He died as a true and devoted patriot, defending his country from the iron heel of a _ton and reckless foe, having willingly shared the hardships incident to the life of a soldier; not for one moment shrinking from the responsibility resting upon himself.
  He has left an aged father and mother to mourn his loss, a wife and infant boy, scarcely able to list the name of the loved and lost, to strew is grave with flowers of remberance, sisters and brothers to share true bereavement; out cease your mourning mother, father, God in is infinite mercy has give you what you so devoutly prayed for "strength to endure it," young wife teach your hear to say what your lips so oft have said, "Thy will be done," remember that though  blinded both mentally and physically, his dying heart still beat for thee, and his lips now cold in death sealed themselves with your cherished name, and remember too, that though you have loved him with a woman's devotion, God has promised to be a father to the fatherless, and a husband to the widow.
  I know in conclusion, that the relatives and friends of the deceased do most earnestly tender their thanks to his gallant nurse, who with womanly tenderness soothing his dying pillow. S. P. W. Gordon, Georgia, December 30, 1862.

  Died, near Marion, Twiggs County, on the 27th February last, Mary E., only child of Maj. Etheldred and Mary A. Griffin, aged eleven months and twenty-eight days.
  She had but passed through the measles and reclaimed her usual sprightliness of body and intellect, giving renewed and stronger affections to her parents, when the Scarlet Fever followed and in a few short days felled its victim in death.
  Parents, relatives and friends have the highest consolation left them, God has said, "suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven."

Frail smiling solace of an hour;
So soon our transient comforts fly
And pleasure only bloom to die.

  Died, in Twiggs County, on the 7th of March, 1863,John B. Ray.
  Early in the summer of 1861 he answered to a bleeding country's wail, and for several months nobly performed the duties of a brave and gallant soldier. "Twas while far away from his native land, that the hand of disease was laid upon him; he returned home.
"No mother's gentle voice was there, of love and hope to speak,
No sister's gentle hand to cool the fevered brow and cheek, "
  But an aged farmer was there, to welcome his loved boy -  and a brother met him on the threshold to cheer him with words and deeds of kindness.
  Yes, he has left us, gone in the flush of youth, passed like a dream away. Gone ere his heart had felt the blight of care, or the stern world had soiled his spirits truth.
  By his noble conduct he had won for himself a large circle of friends and acquaintances, and during his protracted illness they gathered around his couch, endeavoring by words and acts of love and friendship to save him from the monster death. But alas! they watched in van, for he was destined for a life beyond the skies, a life of peace and happiness.
  Then weep not brother as those who mourn without a hope.
Farewell Johnnie
To thee, we trust a happier life is given;
One tie to earth for us hath loosed its spell,
Another formed for Heaven.
A FRIEND. Bibb County Ga. April 14, 1863.

  It is with feelings of the deepest regret that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Solomon. But God in his providence has seen fit to remove her from our midst. She has left a husband and nine children to mourn her loss, and her death has caused a vacuum in our midst which time can never fill, for as a wife there is none can surpass her, as a mother, nome more fond or affectionate.

CAMP NEAR FREDERICKSBURG, Va, MAY 10, 1863
Editor Telegraph: I send you a list of the casualties of the Twiggs Volunteers, accompanied with a few of the particulars of our recent engagement at Chancellorsville, for publication. On Wednesday, the 29th of April, we left our camps, at an early hour in the day, as the thundering of cannon at no great distance from us indicated that our exertions for the defence of our country would soon be needed. We marched down near Fredericksburg, near the scene of action, formed a line of battle, remaining in that position until the morning of the 1st of May, listening at a heavy artillery duel. About three oc'clock we wer ordered to march. Conducted by our gallant leader, Gen. Jackson, along the enemy's front, skirmishing with them clear through until he turned their right flank, where he threw us forward on what is known by the name of the plank road, leading from Fredericksburg to Orange Court-house.
   The enemy being in position on this road, well intrenched, General Rhodes command was placed on the left of the road, and Gen. Doles' command on the right, with a strong reserve. About 4 o'clock Saturday evening, the 2d inst, we were ordered to advance upon the enemy, and, going upon them with such a rush, seemed to give them such a panic that they fled, leaving everything behind that would be a hindrance to their velocity, hotly pursued by our forces. They soon brought a battery to bear upon us which soon fell into our hands; and a second one was brought up and was soon captured and sent to our rear, and still we continued the chase, over breastworks, until we had driven them about two miles, where we halted at about six o'clock.
   It seems to me that I never saw as many knapsacks, india-rubber clothes, haversacks and canteens, and several other articles that are useful to soldiers, left on one field. Early on Sunday 3d we were ordered up to assist in taking a battery that was playing destruction in our ranks, strongly supported by infantry. We charged through an open field, to all appearances was raining iron and lead at the rate of fifty thousand bushels per mintue, and yet our gallant little company flinched not, and never did men stare death stronger in the face that they did on that day, notwithstanding, they were exposed to a cross fire several times, as will be seen in the list of casualties.  Among the killed in Twiggs Volunteers, are John T. Moore, Asa Burkett, Wm N. Evans, Thos. Proctor, John Henderson, Calvin Helkins, and Eugene Lagrange. The wound are as follows:
   Lt L A Nash, in knee; Lt S Tharp, in hip slightly; R H Arrington, lost one arm; Jas Kennington, in neck severely; Allen Williams, in thigh; W B Hardy, in leg;
J Wester, shocked by a shell; James Witt, in side; J M Martin, J. D. Collins and D J Ryle, all slightly.
  Never did men show a more gallant and determined spirit than the Twiggs Volunteers. I would say for the benefit of all bereaved friends, that the deceased were all buried in due time, and as decent as is customary in uch cases. Our camp looks very sad and gloomy since the battle, and the shock ouf our much loved General Jackson, gives us renewed pain.
    There is but very little sickness in our camps at this time, and we quietly awaiting to hear from our enemies again, as we readily suppose, they will send another commander to meet us as they have previously done. SOLDIER.

Outrage in Twiggs County-One Killed and Two Wounded.
    Last Tuesday evening three men, supposed to be Federal soldiers, crossed the river into Twiggs County. They were on foot, and were accompanied by a negro. After crossing the Brunswick Railroad bridge, they proceeded toward Marion, their goal being to rob Mr. ROBERT PAUL, of $15,000 in gold and silver, which their negro guide represented he had hidden in his house. Arriving at the house,  they entered, and seizing Mr. Paul, placed a revolver at his breast, at the same time demanding the money. He told them he had none, and asked them where they got their information. They told him that the man, Wyatt, gave them the information, but on looking for Wyatt to prove his statement,  he had left. They swore awhile, and at about 11 o'clock P.N. left, taking with them three horses, two mules, a two- horse wagon and two pistols.
     After they had left Mr. Paul sent word to Marion and through the neighborhood, and the people gathered to the number of twelve or fourteen, and started pursuit. Among them were many of the most respectable citizens of the county, such as Judge J. E. McDonald, C. R. Faulk, J. P.; H. M.. Loyless, Clerk of Superior Court; J. B. Denson, W. A. Higgings,  T. R. Robinson, John W. Cowen, Dr. W. T. Zachary, and G. W. Lee.
    The thieves had more than two hours start, but delayed by not knowing the road, and by stopping by Mr. Pierce's to take a saddle and bridle.
  About half an hour before daybreak yesterday the thieves were overtaken near Denson's mill, about seven miles from this place, and a portion of the pursing party that had gone around and headed them out, rode up on them and demanded their surrender. They replied by a volley from their revolvers and turning their horses galloped back the road they came. The citizens now opened fire on them, firing about six shots. Two of the thieves turned back down the road, at full speed, about eight yards, and then jumping off their horses , escaped into the swamp. They were both-it is supposed-wounded. The third thief dashed on toward the mill and fell from the horse dead near the creek. One of the horses was severely shot. All the stolen property was recovered and returned to its owners.
  After the affair was over, four citizens of Twiggs County, whose names have been already given went to town and reported the affair to Gen. Wilson who referred the matter to Lieut. Col. White, for investigation. Their affidavits, made before Adjutant Doyle were substantially as above. They were released at once. The body of the man killed was at once sent for, and is now at the Ocmulgee Hospital.

JOHN MCPHERSON BERRIEN DENSON
  Was born August 31, 1841, and died October 15, 1867, in Twiggs county, Ga. Few men have died who have left stronger assurances of a blissful immortality than him whom we now mourn, but not as those without hope. From childhood he honored and obeyed his parents, and in his manhood he still loved and cherished them.
  He was married February 6, 1866, and in this relation he was a most kind and affectionate husband. To his young and devoted wife, now bowed and crushed with sorrow, he was all goodness and love, and he always said his only regret at dying would be the thought of leaving her and his little boy, who were so dear to him. His highest pleasure was to read the sacred Scriptures and hold sweet discourse of their blessed and divine truths. To his relations and friends he was ever kind and indulgent, and sought by his God like walk and the purity of his heart to be an ornament to his profession, fearing God and eschewing evil.
  From infancy his constitution was feeble; yet on the 17th of June, 1861, he, with his three brothers, left home and friends and served their county in Virginia, nobly and faithfully, till the surrender of our armies. In the Summer of 1861, while still a soldier in that State, he joined the Baptist Church, and remained a true and consistent member till called as we earnestly trust, from the Church militant to the Church triumphant.
  For many years past he was afflicted with rheumatism, which finally settled on his heart and suddenly terminated his short but useful life.
  Oh, it seems so hard to be thus deprived of one so young, so lovely, so generous and so good. We can ill spare him, but God's ways are not as our ways, and He doeth all things well. He was taken away in the prime of his days and the midst of his usefulness, but his example remains bright and instructing.
  A dutiful son, an affectionate father, a fond and noble husband, a warm and generous friend - but above all, a sincere and zealous Christian - surely his life was not in vain, but was a shining light which shineth more and more unto the perfect day. How cheering the hope that, though on earth we never more shall she his pleasant face, nor listen to his kindly voice, yet our loss is his eternal gain. He was found at his post ready and watching, and has entered into the joy of his Lord. A FRIEND.

MURDER AND SERIOUS DISTURBANCE IN TWIGGS COUNTY  - LOYAL LEAGUE CALLED OUT. - We learn from several planters who were in the city yesterday the particulars of a murder and riot in Twiggs county. It seems that on Monday two negro men working on the plantation of Mr. Beckham, and engaged in pulling fodder, named Nelson and Carolanus, got into a fight. Nelson killed Carolanus on the spot and fled immediately. Word of the difficulty passed out to the adjoining places in a few hours. One Jones, Captain of the Loyal League, at once ordered out his men. He works on the place of Geo. W. Faulk. Taking all the hands on that place they went to the plantations of J. G. Coleman and Mrs. Smith, and perhaps others, and forced the negro men to join them.
  After the mob was organized Jones led them to the house of Hardin T. Smith, where Nelson was supposed by them to have been concealed. Arrived there they demanded the right to search, which was refused for some time. At last Mr. Smith agreed to allow one of them to go over his house with him. Nelson was not there and was not found. Nelson was a Democrat and Carolanus a Radical. It is said that the Loyal League of that county have taken an oath to kill any one who may kill one of them.
  This difficulty created great excitement throughout the county, and is now the universal topic of discussion. We presume the leaders of the mob will be arrested and strict search made for the murderer - Macon Jour. & Mess. 19th

TWIGGS COUNTY - RELEASE OF ALL BUT TWO OF THE PRISONERS ON BOND.
Gentlemen who came up from Twiggs county yesterday, report that all the men engaged in the Hardin Smith riot, 26 in number, but two, had been released on bond. Those two, Lewis Jones and Cornelius, who were the leaders, were sent to Milledgeville for safe keeping. George W. Faulk, Short Griffin, and another man, whose name we did not learn, went on the bond of the twenty-four for their appearance at the next court. The bonds men are all Democrats. As soon as released the prisoners went back to work, swearing vengeance against the Loyal League, which had gotten them into all this trouble.
  It is said the Negroes of Twiggs county are terribly down upon that abominable organization, and have determined to break it up. It was the direct cause of the whole difficulty, and they fully know this. After leading them to jail, Democrats took them out.
  The excitement has entirely died out, and every one resumed his usual occupation in peace - Jour & Mess, 28th.

The Difficulty in Twiggs. Denson's Station, September 1, 1868.
  Messrs. Editors: In order to prevent misrepresentations and to let the truth be full known, I write you these brief facts. You have already shown in your Daily the facts concerning the legal arrests of the negroes who searched, without warrant, the residence of Mr. Hardin Smith, in Twiggs county.- While those negroes were under arrest several leaders of the Loyal League were going around trying to excite the animosity of the blacks towards the whites, endeavoring to get up a general insurrection, and thereby rescue, by violence, those outlaws whom the Sheriff had arrested.
  Last Saturday a meeting of the citizens was held in Marion, and they came to the conclusion that it was best to have warrants issued and those violators of the civil law arrested and brought to justice; accordingly the warrants were put in the hands of Sheriff Lee. He summoned help to make the arrests and proceeded that evening first to arrest Berry Hill, (col'd) on Mr. John Denson's Oaky Bend plantation, one and a half miles from his home place.
  Berry was found at home, and as soon as he was ordered to surrender he leaped into his house, seized one of the guns, which he had loaded for that purpose, and began firing on the crowd. They then ran to his door just as he had fired the third shot, which they forced out of their way, and as he was still making fight they, also, were compelled to shoot; so he was mortally wounded before he would surrender, and he lived until Sunday evening and died.
  Three bullets of Berry's second shot took effect on Mr. Thos. Melton, one passing through each thigh and one through his leg. Mr. Melton's wounds are not mortal, but painful. He was carried home in a buggy and I suppose is doing very well. An inquest was held and the Coroner's jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide for resistance of civil authority. EYE WITNESS

DIFFICULTY AT JEFFERSONVILLE - a serious difficulty occurred near that place on Friday last, in which two gentlemen were badly wounded. It seems that E. W. Crocker, Esq., had purchased a  cotton-gin of Mr. ___Wimberly, and called to remove it. This was objected to by Mr. ___Boynton, who fired at Crocker, inflicting a severe flesh wound in the right arm. Crocker fell but rose again and fired a pistol at Boynton, which took effect in his back. The wound is considered very dangerous if not fatal. We have not learned the particulars sufficiently to state them further. -Macon Journal and Messenger-

DIED, in Twiggs county, October 13, 1858, DANIEL W. SHINE, Esq., aged 82 years.
  He was born July 20, 1786, in Jones county, North Carolina, and emigrated to Georgia about the year 1810, settling in Pulaski county, then on the Indian frontier. In the war of 1812-14 he held the commission of Lieutenant in the command of the late Gen. David Blackshear, as may be seen by the published muster-roll. His father, John Shine, was a soldier of the Revolution, whose services at the battle near Camden, S.C., in 1780, are referred to in White's "Historical Collections of Georgia;" p. 656.
  At the close of the war in 1815, D. W. Shine opened a store in Twiggs county, and for ten or fifteen years pursued the trade of a merchant, in which he was eminently successful. Retiring from business more that thirty years ago, he devoted himself to his large planting interests, and to the education and settlement of his children. For several years he was a Representative in the Legislature. About his fiftieth year he connected himself with the Baptist Church, and continued faithful to the last.
  In all the relations of life he was exemplary and upright. His personal piety, his kind and obliging disposition secured him the respect and confidence of all who knew him. The great loses he sustained by the war provoked no complaint, all was resignation to the will of God. In February 1864, he was smitten with total blindness, from which he has never been relieved until a brighter world burst upon his vision after death had closed his earthly pilgrimage.
  Thus lived and died a venerable man whose memory is dear to his children, to his many relatives, to his brethren of the Church, and to the community in which he passed more than fifty years of his useful and honorable life. M.

  Died in Twiggs county, Ga., on the 25th day of March, 1869, Dr. R. A. NASH. He was born February 2, 1801, being sixty-eight years, one month and twenty-two days of age. He commenced the practice of physic in 1826, and continued the practice until 1854. During that period of time, no one, perhaps, ever did more charitable practice than he; living the greater portion of the time in a section of country where there were a great many poor people, he was ever ready to relieve their wants, and soothe their sorrows.
  He was married to Miss Mary Hart in 1828, and they lived peaceably and happily together until his death.
  Dr. Nash joined the Baptist Church in 1835, and lived an upright, orderly life, ever using his influence to advance Christ's Kingdom upon the earth. He was quiet and unassuming in his manner; his disposition kind and amiable. Amid all of his afflicting misfortunes and disappointments through life, he bore up with Christian fortitude, never murmuring, but having the full assurance that all things would work together for good to those who loved God. For twelve or eighteen months before his death, he was severely hurt by a fall, being old and infirm, which forced him to remain at home nearly all the time, comparatively shut out from the world; yet his time was spent in reading the Bible, and making preparation for the hour of death, which he felt was rapidly approaching. The writer was with him during his last sickness, and heard him say that he desired to depart and be at rest; that he had lived to be old and helpless; his children were all grown and able to take care of themselves, and the war had stripped him of almost every thing; consequently, he felt that this world had no charms for him; that, if it was the will of God o take him he was ready and willing to go. He left an affectionate wife; a large number of children; quite a number of grand-children,and a large number of friends, to mourn his loss.
  By his death, the country has lost a good citizen; his family an affectionate husband and father, the community a good neighbor; the Church a faithful, zealous member.
