Move for a new County We understand a petition to form a new county out of portions of Upson, Pike, and Monroe has been transmitted to the Legislature. A protest numerously signed has also gone on from this county and another is now open for signatures. We belive public sentiment here is unanimously against the movement.
Our polite Assistant Postmaster, Charley Wilson, has placed upon our table the December number of the Lady's Book and Harper's Magazine.
We have examined some inside painting executed by Mr. Francis Jordan, for Mr. Webb, of this place,and deem it but a just reward of merit, and for the information of those citizens of Upson who may need the services of a Painto, to say that we have never seen work done neater or better.

Editor of Milledgeville Recorder received one which weighed 14 pounds.
On the potato question, Talbot can take our hat!

We, the grand jurors, selected and sworn for the March Term of Talbot Superior Court

Beg leave to make the following general presentments.
In our County there is almost a total neglect in the execution of our road and

rigid enforcement of said laws.
We have by committees examined the books of the Superior and Inferior Courts and
find them, as usual, neatly and correctly kept; and also the books of the county
treasurer, and find them in like condition. He has received for the year 1859
$4,168.68 and paid out $3804.70 leaving a balance in his hands of $353.66.
Public Building....necessity of some repairs to the blinds and steps to the Court
House. The Jail is in good condition, but recommend the dungeon to be white-washed.
Public Schools. Recommend Inferior Court appoint Commissioners to examine Teachers
without delay. Recommend 12.5 per sent on the State Tax to secure the tuition of all
poor children that may be placed on the list of poor children by the Justices of the
Peace of the different districts. Teachers should be paid 7 cents/day for each poor
child taught.
....

spiritous liquors. Also prohibit betting on biliard tables, as well as all other
games of chance not already prohibited.

Arrests on a Charge of kidnapping a Negro
On Friday last George Kennedy was brought before Justices Shuptrine and Greene,
on a charge
of kidnapping a negro boy, the property of Thos G. Andrews, Esq. The evidence was
sufficient
to justify the Justices in sending Kennedy to jail in default of bail, to answer before the
Supreme
Court.
On Sat last, Charity Reed, a widow woman, was brought before Messrs. Shuptrine
and Greene,
as a principal in kidnapping and harboring the same negro. She gave bail. Mrs. R is
said to be 74
years of age, and she now has 4 sons in the Georgia Penitentiary. "The way of the
transgressor

Obit
Departed this life at the residence of her husband in Upson County Mrs. Catharine E. Lyon, consort of Jordan Lyon, on the 6th April 1859. The subject of this notice had been a consistent member of the Baptist Church for twenty years. As a wife she was faithful and affectionate, as a mother she was truly a maternal guide. By the side of her children she would kneel and commend them to the care of a Savior who has promised wisdom to those who ask. In all the relations of life she was consistent and agreeable; thus by her death her family is robbed of an exemplary and pious guide and society one of its nobles ornaments. But whiltse we drop the ter of sorrow we mour not as those ho have no hope. Tough death came suddently upon her she was found prepared for the dread conflict. The day before her death she had given orders concerning her burial and whilst death was meeting its victim she was enable to trust in her Savior, sahing "All was clear--Jesus was her portion". And after entreating her husband and children to meet her in Heaven, when Speech failed, she wrote a test of Scripture for her funeral discourse, naming the Minister whom she wished to preach. Then with calmness she fell asleep in Jesus. May her husband and children follow her example in life, and in Eternity shape her righteous reward.
[Note: Jordan Lyon (Mar 16, 1810 - June 30, 1892) is listed in The Early History of Upson County as being buried in the Lyon Family Cemetery near Yatesville on Barnesville Road. Catherine is not listed, but I would guess that she was also buried there. A son of Jordan, E.C. Lyon (Nov 28, 1813 - April 6, 1853) is listed.]
