Uncertain Monument Abandoned and Lincoln Quiet in Politics
A dispatch from Atlanta notes the monument to Alexander Stephens was abandoned after months of effort, while Stephens family funds supported education. The report also mentions Robert Lincoln gaining ground for the Republicans and proposes Fred Douglass as a potential dark horse for the ticket. A separate account recounts a hazardous mail trip from Parker’s Station toward Ward with snowbound travel and hardship for Mrs. Poujade and companions.

Old Braap Bull Inn Burns in Winds ham County Fire
The Braap Bull inn at Thompson, the oldest Winds ham county house built in 1710, burned last week. Once a stagecoach change station on the old New York Hartford Boston turnpike, it offered a bird’s-eye view from Washington heights and hosted many local legends including Washington’s stay. The fire, fanned by a centuries-old stove and heavy chimney heat, ruined the timbered structure after 152 years of service as a hostelry.

Belled buzzard famine tale stirs Georgia superstition
A bell tied to a belted buzzard roams western Georgia counties causing fear of storms and death among whites and blacks. The bird’s legend began in Paulding county about two years ago after a farmer’s child tied a sheep bell to its leg. Since then it has frightened communities, with reports of a cyclone and divine punishment. The tale traces sightings through Putnam Greene and other counties, recalling older similar legends and spreading alarm across the state.
