David W. Meadow. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To-day about 12 o’clock Dr. Sorrells of this place and Dr. Banks of Jeptha had a fight. It seems that Dr. Banks had written Dr. Sorrells a note in regard to some matters, which Dr. Sorrells took as an insult, and wrote Banks another. When Banks got the note from Sorrells, he came to see Dr. Sorrells, and called him out of his office to talk the matter over. In the course of the conversation, Banks gave Sorrells the d---- lie, immediately after which Sorrells knocked him out of the buggy with a rock. R. L. Brooks who was with Dr. Banks held Dr. Sorrells, while other friends inferred. Brooks and Dr. Banks left for home at once. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Madison’s Gold Gold is still being taken from the Ridgeway and Carrington mines in the lower part of this county. If these mines were only developed, gold could be found in paying quantities. The hills of old Madison hold all kinds of ores and if capital in sufficient quantities could be had to develop it, there is no telling how rich she is. The gold taken from these mines is of the finest quality, and the parties who own them have a bonanza. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Muster Roll of Co A, Madison County Greys, 16 GA Regiment P A C S from Madison Co, mustered into service at Athens, Ga. July 11th 1861 by James Burrow, will be published next week. If you want extra copies, get them at once.
