GEORGIA. By his Excellency John Clark, Governor
and Commander in chief of the Army and Navy of this State, and of the Militia
thereof.
WHEREAS I have received information
on the 24th inst. by the official report of the Coroner of the county of
Wilkinson, that on the 29th day of February last, a certain JACOB JUSTICE,
of the county of Wilkinson and State aforesaid, did commit murder on the
body of Nathan Bowen, of the
said State and county.
And whereas it is represented to
me that the said Jacob Justice has absconded or concealed himself from
justice, I, therefore, thought proper to issue this my Proclamation, hereby
offering a reward of Two Hundred Dollars, to any person or persons who
may apprehend the said Jacob Justice, and him safely deliver into the custody
of the sheriff or jailor of the said county of Wilkinson; and I do moreover
hereby charge and require all officers, civil and military within this
state, to be vigilant in endeavoring to apprehend the said Jacob Justice,
if to be found within this state, so that he may be brought to trial for
the crime of which he is charged.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the State-House in Milledgeville, this twenty-eight day of July,
in the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred twenty, and of the Independence
of the United States of America the forty-fifth. JOHN CLARK, By the Governor.

A family. - in the pine woods of Wilkinson
county, a couple (both natives of Burke county,) were, in 1801, married-the
gentleman, a bachelor, forty years of age. Since that, time they have lived
together in a state of uninterrupted happiness, which has been crowned
by the birth of twenty one children, ten sons and eleven daughters; all
alive and healthy at the present time. Some places boast of their increase
of hogs, others of their horses, and others again of their cattle; but
we challenge the world to beat Wilkinson in what is infinitely more valuable-the
increase of fine healthy children. We would recommend a Summer's residence
in Wilkinson, to the married portion of our wealthy friends of the seaboard.-

Since the Penitentiary was
burnt, several of the convicts, for whom there was no profitable work within
the walls, have been employed under a guard, in quarrying rocks on the
town common, to build the cells for their solitary confinement. One of
this number name Hezekiah
Williams, sent from Wilkinson county for manslaughter, having attempted
to make his escape on Tuesday, and not stopping when required to do so
by the guard, was fired on and killed. If the circumstances are correctly
reported, the shooting of the convict was absolutely necessary to prevent
his escape, and perfect justifiable.

I discover an article, under the
head of the Milledgeville Times, stating the circumstance of an
outrage committed on the body of HENRY EADY, by his negro-man AARON,
which is closed by observing, that the circumstance of the said Henry
Eady's being shot at in his own house, on the 20th of January last,
at night, was yet involved in mystery. The mystery has been cleared up
by the confession of the aforesaid negro, Aaron. Henry Eady has
charged this foul crime on Richard Lewis junior and myself, without
any just cause and while he had evidence of our innocence. My father, Richard
Lewis senior was one of the first settlers of Wilkinson county; myself
and Richard Lewis junior were both born and raised in the county;
and it is the first and only time that one of the family was ever accused
of any thing ungentlemanly; and, in fact, Henry Eady is the only
man that has ever said anything against our characters.- For our character
and standing, we appeal to our neighbors, who have known us from childhood,
in justification of ourselves, we feel duty bound to state to the public,
that the above name negro, Aaron, died on the day he as hanged for
shooting his master, Henry Eady, the last time, openly confess,
that he died shoot at his master on the 20th January last, in Irwinton.
I think that
Henry Eady ought to have published the confession of
his negro,
Aaron, as no suspicion can be entertained against any
one else by him or his friends; but he has not-which is our apology for
troubling the public through the medium of the press. Aaron
confessed,
that the did walk from the
Heydon
Place, (a plantation of H.
Eady) on the twentieth day of January last, at night, and shot at his
master
Henry Eady, and he stated that the Messrs. Lewis were
accused, but that they were innocent, and that no white person had any
hand in it, or knew any thing about his shooting at his master, for he
did it himself; and he wished every body that stood around him to hear
him. Robin (another of
Henry Eady's Negroes) gave him a pair
of moccasins to make his escape, so that the dogs would not track him.

$100 REWARD - Runaway from the subscriber,
living in Wilkinson county, a negro man by the name of OWEN,
a blacksmith by trade, about six feet high, of yellow complexion and about
25 or 26 years, inclined to be stoop-shouldered, and has a downcast appearance
when spoke to. Said negro belongs to David Blount, of Mississippi,
but has been in my charge, as the agent of Mr. Blount, for the two past
years. He is an artful fellow, and probably has got in with some white
man to carry him off; if so the subscriber will give a reward of
One Hundred Dollars to any person who may apprehend them, on the conviction
of the white person, or Fifty Dollars for the negro, if delivered to me
in Irwinton, Wilkinson county, or any safe jail in the State. JONATHAN
