A fight in Macon county, Georgia.

A few days since, a mob, headed by Mr. Jerry Wilcher, cause not stated, assembled on Cedar creek, Macon county, Georgia, to drive what they deemed a suspicious character from the neighborhood. The man and some women fought bravely for their homes, and, in the fight, Jerry Wilcher and a man by the name of Hickory were killed, and another of the attacking party severely wounded. The rest left.
