Death*
Mr. George Prestwood died in this
city on the 10th inst., after a long illness.
He was a Confederate soldier and lost a
leg in Virginia. He was buried with
military honors by the Baldwin Blues.
Capt. Jesse Horton, an old and re
spected citizen, departed this life on Fri
day morning, 13th inst. He was over
7 0 years of age, and had been a citizen
of Milledgeville for about thirty years.
Mrs. Rachel Shea died suddenly, at
the residence of her daughter, Mrs. S. B.
Brown, in this city, on Sunday night
last. She went to bed in usual health,
and fell sick dming the night. A physi
cian was sent for, but she died before he
arrived—disease of the heart causing her
death almost immediately. She was in
the 81st year of her age.
Itir Edward J. Evans & Co., Nursery
men & Seedsmen, of York, Pa., have an
advertisement in this paper to which we
invite attention.
Old Furniture Repaired.
Messrs. Parker & Fears are prepared
•to do up and repair old furniture and

Supplies for the Asylum.
We invite attention to the advertise
ment of Mr. E. D. Brown, Steward.—
Sealed proposals for furnishing supplies
as specified, will be received by him till
thl 17th March, 12 M.
The regular term of Baldwin Su
perior Court will begin on Monday next-
We regret to learn that nothing has
been heard of Mrs. R. A. MeComb, who
disappeared from the Hotel in this city in
a deranged state of mind about two
weeks since. Diligent search has been
made, but up to this time it has proved
fruitless. The distressed family have the
heartfelt sympathy of the community.
)6r*We are indebted to Dr. Tkos. F.
Green, Supt. &c., for a report on the Lu
natic Asylum for the year 1873. The
number of patients in the institution is
575. This number will probably not be
diminished during the present year, and
cannot possibly be increased to accom
modate over 600 patients. The estimate
made by the Trustees for the support of
the Asylum for the present year is $105,-
000,00.
In this connection we are pleased to
state that the small pox has entirely dis
appeared fr om the institution.

The Conoert of last Thursday at the
State House, was a very pleasant enter
tamment. Under the auspices of Mrs.
C. C. Mitchell, a lady of large experience,
great executive power, and much aesthetic
and artistic ability, it could not fail to de
light the intelligent audience which filled
to overflowing the old Senate Chamber—
There was a mixture of the grave and the
gay in the varied performances and in the
‘kfPky all of which were well exe-

™“ lt ’ h! were gipsies, and em
perors, highland maidens, brides and even
stars of the npper sky, all displayed with
n . l !™k^ ess other fascinations in the
glittering succession of wonders. We
must mention one little Miss who sun-
a comic song against the propriety of
marrying ‘-an old man and we heard
several old gentlemen congratulate g
themselves that they were already married
else they would stand no chance under
such a regime. The seeuic effect of the
Oliver Moon, a cordon of fairies by
moonlight, was beautiful, and all felt re-
gret at the curtain-drop signal to return
home. The following was the programme
of the evening:
1. Chorus—“Come where my love lies
dreaming.”
2. Court Scene.
3. Norma.
4. C—for a vote.
5. Anvil Chorus.
6. Night and Morning.
7. Alpine Morning.

The Diamond Cotton Chopper and
Cultivator.
This most valuable agricultural imple
ment, which was on exhibition at all our
recent Agricultural Fairs, has, wo are
pleased to learft, been still farther im
proved by the addition of a most excel
lent planter and guano distributor attach
ment. A planter who owns a Diamond
Cotton Chopper and Cultivator has little
need of any other implements for the
cultivation of cotton, except a plow, with
which to break up the land before plant
ing- We know of no implement which
combines so many excellencies. It plants
the cotton and thoroughly cultivates it.
until the tune at which it is to be picked
out. It is light, simple, strong and dur
able. We have seen numerous testimoni
als of undoubted reliability, in which it is
stated that the Chopper does all that is
claimed for it. It at one time and with
one man and horse, bars, ehops^ weeds
and dirts the cotton. This machine, be
fore the planter attachment was added,
was exhibited at many of the Southern
Fairs last fall, where it attracted much
attention, and received extravagant praise.
At the Georgia State Fair it took the
grand sweep stakes prize—the Gold Med
al—over all competitors. The addition
of the “planter” greatly increases its val
ue. It is important tliat our planters who
propose to use this implement, should
send in their orders at an early date, as
some time will of necessity be consumed
before the machine can be delivered, and
cotton planting season is almost upon us.
We expect to have one of these ma
chines on exhibition at mu' office in a few
days, and invite the fanners to call and
see it.
See advertisement in onr columns.
The City Council.—Last week we pub
lished the proceedings of the City Coun
cil, and were pleased to see that the new
Board have entered upon the discharge
of their duty with zeal and commendable
economy. They have reduced the sala
ries of their officers and contracted with
Mr. S. A Cone to keep the streets in ol
der for $2500 per annum. Mr. I. L.
Hunter was awarded the contract for
publishing the proceedings of the Board
at $24 a year. This is too cheap. Mr.
H. should at least be paid enough to
cover the special tax on his office. We
must say we expected a higher apprecia
tion of the Press from such an intelli
gent Board: but then they are young yet,
and we will help them all we can. We
will continue to publish the proceed
ings of their meetings, if they are furn
ished us, without charge, expecting, how
ever, that their large levy of taxes and
economic expenditures will enable them
to get along without taxing the press.
It will be seen by the report of the
Clerk, published last week, that after pay
ing the current expenses of the month
and making a payment of $300 on the
Hook and Ladder Truck, that he has a
cash balance on hand of $912 78. This
is an encouraging exhibit.
We publish the Tax Ordinance this
week, and in doing so, beg to suggest to
the Board, and we have the experience of
many prosperous cities to sustain us, that
any encouragement extended to mechan
ics is bread cast upon the waters which
will return after many days. The indus
tries of our town should be taxed as little
as possible, and the working tools of
mechanics should be exempt fr om taxa
tion. Let capital bear the greater por
tion of the burden of the city govern
merit. Encourage mechanics and they
will build up' the town, and in good time
pay tax on real estate.
We see that $20,000 for the public
buildings in Milledgeville and Atlanta
is again in the appropriation bill. We
would like to know how much of the
$20,000 appropriated at the last session
was used for repairing the public build
ings in Milledgeville! Won t somebody
send us a copy of the report of the Su
perintendent of Public Works t
Sandy Gannoway, a freechnan, of this
county emigrated to Liberia a few years
ago- At that time he had accumulated
some money and after selling off his
effects, it is said, he started to the home
of his ancestors with $1,200, in specie.
He had be^n warned by those who had
visited Liberia that it was not the land of
promise he had pictured to himself, but
go he would. He has paid dear for his
experience. He had to steal away from
Liberia and has succeeded in reaching his
old home, a wiser man. His means how
ever were not sufficient to bring his fami
ly back and he had to leave them in New
York. We think there will be no more
emigration to Liberia from this section.

F ARMERS can save 5,000 rails per mile by using
Smith & O.d's patent Improved Rail Fence. It
is built of eight rails per rod against 25 rails per rod
of the ordinary ten rail worm fence; is a straight fence,
aud stock and wind proof; five rails and a pole lider
per pannel. Nails, plank aud screws are neither used
m its construction; nothing but rails and a small
amount ofwire,at aeost of one cent, per pannel of the
fence. This fence is stronger, higher, aud more dura
ble than the ordinary worm fence, and will last for
years without the least repair. For cross fences, two
rails and the pool rider ouly are used; this makes a
stock prooffence against large stock, substantial strong
and wind proof.

PRATT’S ASTRAL. OIL.
Absolutely safe. Perfectly odorless. Always uni
form. Illuminating qualities superior to gas. Burns
in any lamp without danger of exploding or taking
fire. Manufactured expressly to displace the use of
volatile and dangerous oils. Its safety unr.er every
possible test, and its perfect bnrning qualities, are
proved by its continued use in over 300,000 families.
Millions of gallons have been sold and no accident
—directly or indirectly—has ever occured from
burning, storing oi handling it.
The immense yearly loss to life and property, result
ing from the nse of cheap and dangerous oils in the
United States, is appalling.
The Insurance Companies and Fire Commissioners
throughout the country recommend the ASTRAL as
the best safeguard when lamps ai e used. Send for
circular.

These periodicals constitute a wonderful miscellany
of modern thought, research, and criticism. The
cream of all European books worth reviewing is
found here, and they treat of the leading events of the
world in masterly articles written by ineu who have
special knowledge of the matters treated. The Amer
ican Publishers urge upon all intelligent readers in this
country a liberal support of the Reprints which they
have so long and so cheaply furnished, feeling sure
that uoexpeuuiture for literary matter will yield so
rich a return as that required for a subscription to
