“.Tlnidea’a” Reply lo “Baldwin.’*
Messrs Editors—“Baldwin’s" statement is correct
in reference to ladies “waiting to be asked”, for the
respect they have for themselves prompts them not
to do otherw ise. He uid Dot state in what wav they
answered, but there being so many unmarried men,
we can guess. He says, by proper perseverance they
rnay succeed, if they have to address fifty ladies be
fore accomplishing their design. That is the reason
that “Baldwin’’ is going to so many Associations,
Temperance Lectures, Pic Nies and Pound Parties, to
find iiis fiftieth rejecter. He inquired very particular
ly about the gentleman that thought lie was “half mar-
nod”: he can not reap any consolation from him, for
he did “try, try again ”,and at last died in despair and
left the ladies “waiting to be asked again”, and not
being of a restless disposition they enjoy their most
C eaeeful hours while waiting for the pleadings and
et-eimrs of another “halt mariied man.

Then on going to Savannah, Oa., be sure to stop at
Bresnan's European Hotel. The proprietor of this
popular house, has very recently fitted up a large and
splendid dining room, and the front room on first floor,
which,heretofoie has been used as a Restaurant, is now
converted into a reading department On a recent
nslt to Savannah, we stopped at this house, and stay
ed several days, aud we take occasion to say that
M^j. I5resn.au lias but little, if auythiug to learn about

from all trains, taking passengers and baggage to and
from the Hotel, tree of charge. No wonder that this
house is full, week in and week out, when we think of

The first dining in the new room was to be served
a day or two after we left; we were invited to retrain

permit us to do so. We are satisfied that the Maj.

Col. McKinley’s Election.
Wo take great pleasure in announcing
to our readers the triumphant election of
Col. McKinley as Representative of Bald
win county in the Legislature of Georgia
for 1875-6. The election passed oft' very
quietly. Not an angry word was spoken
we believe between the voters of different
politics, although the voting began early
and was kept up continually throughout
the day from 7 o’clock A. M. till 6 P. M.
—each party engaging energetically in
the business of the day. The result was
for Col. McKinley 850 votes; for Smith,
colored, 303 votes. McKinley’s majority ;
547. It is due to the colored people to
say that large numbers of them voted
freely and voluntarily for Col. McKinley,
believing he could and would serve their
interests as well as the interests of the
white people more effectively than the
candidate of their own color. And it is
due to the colored candidate Richard
Smith and his active friends, to say that
their deportment throughout the election
day was (like that of the whites) honora
ble tind fair minded.
After the votes had been counted, and
the result announced, Col. McKinley’s
friends assembled at the McCombs Hotel
and called him out with an enthusiasm
w hich could not be resisted. He addres
sed them in his own happy and appro
priate manner for three quarters of an
hour, frequently interrupted by cheers
and hearty out-bursts of approval from
the multitude. After thanking the citi-
zens of Baldwin county for the mark of
their confidence he had just received in
his election to an office which he had
not solicited, directly or indirectly, he
pledged his best energies to the faithful
performance of its duties. His remarks
on the harmony subsisting between the
white and colored races, and their iden
tity of interests, were listened to with
profound attention by all— pecially by
the numerous colored v ’s in the
assemblage. He advocated the estab
lishment of some cheap and ready court
where agricultural and mechanical labor
ers could recover their wages from debt
ors speedily, and without the expense of
employing a lawyer. On the fraudulent
bonds, and on the Capital question, he
spoke very happily, being vociferously
applauded; as also his remarks avowing
the necessity of a Constitutional Conven
tion. On the conclusion of Col. McKin
ley’s speech, Col. L. H. Briscoe was
called for and entertained the people in
one of his characteristically happy and
entertaining speeches, for a considerable
time. The “fat boy” of the Constitution,
Acton, put in his appearance at the call
of the crowd, by some funny remarks;
and the people dispersed to their homes
well pleased with the day’s doings.
10 REASONS WHY
Ercrybody Should Buy Their Goods
AT THE
“ Augusta Store.”
1st. Because Cline & Quinn have
the best general assortment of Dry Goods,
Clothing, Boots and Shoes, &c., in the
city, and you can find everything you
wish there without the trouble of running
from place to place.
2nd. Because it is the only place that
you can buy Bleached Table Linen for
50c worth 90c.
3rd. Because there you will find Tow
els at $2.00 dozen, (all Linen) and as
good as sold elsewhere for $3.00.
4th. Because it is the only place you
will find an all Linen Hankerchief at 5c
worth 12^c.
5th. Because you will find Black Al-
paccas, at 40c, 50c and 60c, (which were
bought at a Bankrupt Sale) and are from
15 to 25c yard, below their real value.
6th. Because you will find the most
complete stock of Dress Goods, Shawls,
Balmorals &c., ever brought to this city.
7th. Because you will find Boots and
Shoes, made to their own order and war
ranted, at prices lower than paid else
where for wood and paper.
8th. Because it is the only place that
you will find good Kid Gloves at 75c, and
Jouvin’s seamless Kids, at $1.00, sold
in Macon and Augusta for $2.00.
9th. Because you will find the most
complete stock of fine and medium Cloth
ing, at prices from 15 to 20 per cent low
er than elsewhere.
10th. Because you will find the Au
gusta Store easy to find—and by finding
it in time or before purchasing your
Goods—will find that you will save from
15 to 20 per cent on your general Bill of
goods.

Toombsboro, October 3, 1874.
Editor Morning News :
My last communication was relative to
Milledgeville and its surroundings. I
did not say all I wanted in it, for I have
a mortal dislike to long communications,
editorials, prayers and sermons. As I
said of Milledgeville, it had an air
of prosperity about it, and it would
be to the interests of Savannah merchants
especially the wholesale, to cultivate
more intimately the acquaintance of those
of that city and the adjoining towns and
villages. I was struck with the remark
of a wholesale druggist from Augusta,
when he told me that on the line of the
Central Railroad that he had no compe
tition worth talking about from Savan
nah, and that he supplied drugs to all the
little village^ and towns that ought to
trade with Savannah. Will the
SAVANNAH MERCHANTS,
in all departments of trade, wake up and
become real live men, known and report
ed for their energy and earnestness in
soliciting business ? No wonder we hear
the cry that business is dull, no business
coming to the city, business falling off,
and the merchants not able to pay the
rents demanded; all because the mer
chants stick in advertisements in a few
papers, and expect business to come to
them without any further effort. Tain
delusion, a sure deception, a fatal error.
We are living in a day when energy tells;
and personal solicitation accomplishes
the object sought. It is all stuff to sit
down and expect business to rush in
upon you. I hear a good deal said about
Atlanta, Augusta and Macon merchants
soliciting business and taking orders,
but little about Savannah. There are
about three houses in Savannah pretty
well known ; one on account of its age,
and the other two by the tnergy they
have displayed in trying to build up a
wholesale trade for Savannah, but the
Atlanta merchants seem to be ubiquitous.
Talk will tell—perseverance will pay—
solicitation will accomplish the object.
I have been led to the above remarks
from what I heard, and give it to our
Savannah merchants as food for thought.
THE TALMAGE SCHOOL.
Three miles from MilledgevilK in the
old Oglethorpe College building j, located
at Midway, has been established the Tal-
mage High School for boys, under the
instruction of Prof. Hunter, late of
Athens, an accomplished teacher. Boys
will be fitted—and well fitted—to enter
any college. I have no hesitation in say
ing that the school will be an improve
ment upon the old system, and up to the
requirements of the age in every respect.
Old fogy ideas as to teaching and instruc
tion will not play a very conspicuous
part, as in days past. Board in the Pro
fessor's family, $17 per month, the boys
to furnish their own rooms. The school
is named for the Rev. Dr. S. K. Talmage,
for many years President cf Oglethorpe
College. For particulars address Prof.
Hunter, Milledgeville, Ga. The school
is nat denominational, but simply a high
school.
MILLEDGEVILLE CEMETERY.
To me it is a peculiar and sad plersure
to wander amid graves and read the
superscriptions upon the tombs and
monuments of the departed, especially of
those that I knew well in life, and to muse
upon what they were, and let the mind
wander in the labyrinths of speculation
as to what they now are. An old writer
has said: “A tomb is a house built for
a skeleton, a dwelling of sculptured mar
ble, provided for dust and corruption;
a monument set up to perpetuate the
memory of—the forgotten.” And true,
like the leaves we ftxll and aro forgotten,
while the green and living leaves alone
please the eye and excite pleasure and
admiration. If the evil that men do
could only die and be buried with them
how bright would be the world; but un
fortunately, as Shakespeare says, “the
good they do is often interred with their
bones.” In the Milledgeville Cemetery
can be found the following beautiful
epitaph to
HENRY DENISON, OF BRATTLERORO, VT.,
who died October 31, 1819, in Milledge
ville, aged 23 years. He had but a short
time previous to his death made arrange
ments with the late R. M. Orme, Esq, of
Milledgeville, to become one of the editors
of the Southern Recorder, but died while
Mr. Orme was in Savannah making ar
rangements to start the Recorder, which
he did on the 25th of February, 1820,
under the firm name of Grantland &
Orme. Mr. Orme lived to see the Recor
der enter its fiftieth year. But to the
epitaph, said to have been written by the
late J. K. Tefft, Esq., of Savannah:
Reader, art thou a parent ? Think up
on thy own offspring and sympathise
with them.
Aft thou a good son? Mingle thy
tears *Witli his parents, for he was the
best of sons.
A brother? Monrn, for he was the
kindest of brothers.
A friend? Sorrow, for he was the firm
est of friends.
Does the muse inspire thee? Grieve,
for he was of thy kindred.
Art thou all that in manly and upright?
Bemoan hie early fate, for lie was thy
companion.
But if thou art a Christain, rejoice!
for Henry is not dead, but sleepeth.
JOHNSON SUPERIOR COURT.
I attended last week the above court.
Nothing of any importance on the crimi
nal docket, except a riot between some
three men and as many women, in which
some ugly, dirty talk was indulged in on
both sides, and the men found guilty, as
they were the aggressive parties. Judge
H. V. Johnson presides, and blest is the
circuit that has such a judge to aaminiss
ter the law. His influence for good |is
felt throughout the length and breadth
of his circuit, and in future years he will
be spoken of as the model and impartial
jurist. Ho will ever rank as one of Geor
gia’s ablest, best and purest sons.
A HORSE THIEF
came to grief about a week ago, and is
now boarding in jail in Johnston, Wilkin
son county, at the expense of its citizens.
Judge Bartlett will attend to his case in
a way anything but agreeable to his feel
ings if he be found gtulty, which he cer
tainly will be, as he was arrested while
upon the horse. R. M. O.
Oar River.
We met this morning for a few moments
Mr E. Sherman Gould, a Civil Engineer
in the U S service, detailed to make a
preliminary examination of the Oconee
River from this place to its junction with
the Ocmulgee. If Mr Gould’s Report
shall be favorable, further expenditures
by the U S Government will be applied
to the opening of the stream for naviga
tion of steamers from our city to the
ocean. We trust Mr Gould may have a
pleasant and successful exploration and
may find data for a favorable report. A
glimpse of his person gives assurance of
his energy and intelligence; and what
ever Mr. Gould does will be exceedingly
apt to be well done. Steamers on the
water line from Milledgeville to the Sea
will do a large business in transporting
cotton and merchandize, and will give a
new impulse to our growing city’s pros
perity.

Hedges.
Editor Southern Cultivator.— Why
is it that farmers do not make hedges?
In three or four years they could have
a fence that nothing but a rabbit can get
through, and that no stock will try to
jump or push down. Besides, free
negroes can’t bum it up. If they don’t
want hedges in their farms, it would pay
around their lots and orchards and cabins.
ith a hedge around the orchards, and a
gate that could not be climbed, we could
save our fruit.
It is not as much trouble to make a
hedge as some, people think. It can be
done at wet times when we cannot plough
or do much in the farm. I think the
McCartney Rose one of the best hedge
plants we have. It grows very readily
from cuttings or nuts. In wet weather
you can take a crow-bar and make the
holes and put the cuttings in, and if
they are deep enough in the ground most
of them will live.
If we will make a fence after Ward’s
patent, (which is straight.) and set out
the McCartney Rose before the fence rots
down or needs much repairs, we will have
a hedge that horses or cattle cannot jump,
and one that will not have to be repaired
every year or two.

Our Homes.
Who can tell the worth of a true home?
There is nothing on earth equal to it and,
I often think, nothing which gives us so
true a type of life in Heaven. Nothing
can do what home can to elevate and
purify the world; nothing makes men so
strong and steadfast, so firm in principlo
and manhood; nothing makes women so
truo and noble, so gentle and womanly,
so loveable. ’Tis the pure, happy homes
scattered up and down our land, out of
which came loyal, honest men and wom
en, in which our hope lies, and which
will do more to free us from the evils
and woes of intemperance and conniption
in their multitude of forms and phases
than all the laws and politicians can ever
do.
Make the roots pure and right and the
tree will be vigorous and healthful.
Homes are the roots of national life. If
these be pure, our national tree will cast
off all unhealthy growth, all corrupt
branches and become in time good in
every part. Woman is the Heaven ap
pointed home-maker, and here she will
find a work broader, grander and more
beautiful than any other, though I would
by no means disparage any of her efforts
for good wherever and whenever made.
So, I say, God bless the homes and their
inmates, and make them all they are
capable of becoming—make them many
and blessed everywhere.
