[Author’s note regarding 1835 & 1836: "As the files for this year and 1836 are missing from the ‘Enquirer’ office, and we can find only three numbers (Jan. 10 to Jan. 23, 1835, inclusive), our report of minor incidents and personal intelligence must needs be meagre. We have a file of the Macon ‘Messenger’ for the year 1835, from which we obtain some news of Columbus, and we presume that it would have made some mention of anything important during that year."] 1837 P. 88: Feb. 23. – Capt.
