We hear of a go-,1 d >al ■ sickness in the

The water in the Oconee river is lower

DEATH OF HR. «. WAITZFfj.OF.R.
Our city was shocked on Wednesday af
ternoon by the report that this gentleman
had died suddenly, at his office at the Cot
ton Factory in this city. The report prov
ed too true. Mr. Waitzfelder. was convers
ing with Mr. Skinner, apparently as well
as usual, when he suddenly expressed
himself as feeling unwell, aud with a gasp,
expired. Mr. W. came to this city with
his brother over thirty-live years ago, and
engaged in a mercantile business. From
a trilling capital, the firm of E. WaitzTelder
& Co., grew to be the largest and most pros
perous in tiie city, and when the war came
on was considered one of tho wealthiest in
the State. After the war, the brothers
moved to New York, where they had al
ready' established branch houses, having
business connections in many leading
cities, and extending even beyong the lim
its of tho Republic. The firm, however,
still kept up their connection with the Mil-
ledgeviiie Manufacturing Company, which
under their direction had been brought to
a degree of prosperity, unprecedented in
its history; and at the time of ids death,
though a citizen of New York, Mr. Waitz-
fclder was President of this company, and
his son, Mr. Solomon Waitzfelder, was its
business manager. A lew weeks ago the
aged gentleman and his wife came out on a
visit to his sou’s family, and while over
looking the a Tails of the Factory, he died.
• The loss of s i g'XHi and exemplary a
man, even under the circumstances inci
dental to our common nature, must have
been deeply and severely felt by all around
him; but then* is something inscrutable as
well as appalling in the instant termination
of so useful a life. We have said he was a
good man—he was, and a very extraordi
nary man. He had leached the natural
limit of man’s life, but what a misfortune
that so temperate and so useful a man
should die while there was so much good
that he could do. Words fail us to express
our deep regret at this unexpected event.
To his family we extend our sincere sym
pathies in their great loss. Mr. Solomon
Waitzfelder, who was in*New York at the
time of his father’s death, reached this city
on Friday afternoon, and took the remains
to New York, by the 9 p. M. train, for in
terment.
We never knew a man in all our life who
was so quick to see what should be done,
in chalking out the plan for doing it, and
in pointing out whence the materials were
to be derived, as was the lamented deeeas-
cd. Peace to the ashes of the good old
man!

OFR COLLEGE—WHAT NEXT?
It is long since a question of so vital con
cern has been addressed to this community.
The College bill, shorn of al! appropriation,
has passed the House and will probably be
a law, this week. It commits the State
property lu Milledgeville, to the Trustors <«f
the University of Georgia, for college pur
poses without a dime to give it practical
effect. The Trustees have set apart tho
sum of $2,000 per annum, (all they could
spare) for Its use. Tho building was never
fprnished for such purposes, is wholly dis
mantled now and greatly needing repairs
for preservation, if not dilapidated. This
two thousand dollars is the only fund now
available for repairs, equipments and sala
ries of teachers. Its inadequacy, for re
pairs even, is too manifest for argument;
and the conclusion is inevitable that other
and generous provision must be made or
our college will remain a myth.
NVhat next? On due notification, the
Trustees will probably send a committee of
their own number, to estimate the cost of
repairs and equipments, ami to treat with
this city for “material aid.” The bill au
thorizes tho city to donate land, or cash
endowment, to the institution. How will
we receive them? Will we Imitate the folly
of our fathers, who repelled the Central
Railroad and diverted it- away to the Oc-
rnulgec, to build up Macon, Columbus and
Atlanta, when tho opportunity was ours
to become the metropolis, commercially, of
the South Atlantic slope and its gate-way
into tiie Gulf and Mississippi valleys? Their
selfish blindness dwarfed our aspirations,
whilst out of tho woods have sprung, as
successful rivals, Macon, Amerieus, Col
umbus, Griffin, Atlanta, Rome, Dalton,
Athens; whilst Cutlibert, ThomasviUe,
Gainesville, and other towns of a day, ate
girding their loins to pass us in the race. Is
it a wonder tthat this old town is shorn of
her prestige and her honors?
This city is out of debt and owns about
thirteen hundred acres of land, that cost
her nothing, and has been of no use to her
as yet. The successlul building up of the
College will add 100 percent, to its mark
et value. Let $2,000 per annum be donated
to the College, and in a few years, the en
hanced value of city lands will refund it,
besides establishing a permanent fund for
its continuance, and greatly increasing the
aggregate of taxable property. Confined
to this point of view alone, there is a large
speculation in the investment. This
mu9t do to give effect to the law. Nor is
this all.
Tho sons and daughters of Georgia, who
come up hero to bo educated, must find
board on living terms. If tiie grasping
SDirit of speculation possess our people to
make all they can out of the students, dis
gust will drive many to more gracious
seats of learning. A low. plain, substantial
rate of board should welcome all, who
come. Nor is this ail.
A cordial co-operation should manifest
itself in tiie beginning and to the end, frown
ing down factions, jealousies and antagon
isms. Agents, with the most devoted, per
sistent public spirit, should bo employed,
and sustained with the active conlidcnce ot
tho whole community. He that would in
terpose obstacles, should be deemed an ene
my (aiufproperly) to the prosperity of the
city. Such a spirit, with the incipient suc
cess it will guarantee, will appeal mightily
to the next session of the Legislature, to
build up from year to year, a great central
educational institution here, that will ra
diate untold blessings through the State -
brightest, of course, at the focus. Many
favorable circumstances promise aid, prom
inent among which % the second finds t li
brary In Georgia, idly awaiting our use.
Enterprise is our necessity now, and will
repay incalculable dividends. Were it not
well to hold a meeting of citizens to take
prompt action in the premises?

A Mammoth Mercantile Es
tablishment.
On the corner, so familiar to every citi
zen and countryman, stands the splendid
dry goods establishment of
ADOLPH JOSEPH.
From the crown of his head to the sole of
his foot, Joseph is a live business man. There
is not a lazy bone about his make-up, and
every muscle is strung to its utmost tension
in business hours every day. He has tact
with all his industry, and a cultivated taste
that is indispensable to the building up < f
a high reputation as a popular and a .
successful merchant—especially a Dry- j
Goods merchant. He is not a believer in '
luck, so-called, nor does he post his books
by the incantations of tho lickle goddess
Chance. He knows there is no success to
lie obtained without labor, and he practices
the precepts he professes by a strikingly
illustrative example.
Hearing that Mr. Joseph had received an i
u-iusually large and attractive stock of Do- >
metios, Staple and fancy dry-goods, and an
endless variety of made-up suits for men,
hoys and children, we called in on Wed
nesday to see what could be seen without
trenching too much upon the urbantity of
the “Boss,” and the patience and politeness
of his clerks. We found Mr. Joseph ready
and willing to answer onr inquiries, and
after using our gimlet pretty effectually
we extracted the following, in connection
with what we could see for ourself.
In the Dry-Goods department are to be :
found every article from the cheapest Print
to tiie choicest Woolens aud Silks, all taste
fully arranged and In endless variety. Here j
also may be found a beautiful assortment
of Ladies’ Cloaks, in all styles, and at all i
prices. The amiable and accomplished Mr. ;
E. E. Bell, takes tho first position in this
section of the store, and his long experience
and cultivated taste eminently fit him to
preside here with usefulness to his employ
er and satisfaction to his customers.
In the departmentof Piece Goods, Jeans,
Cassi meres, Domestics, Ac., Mr. Sol. Bar
rett, with his well-known courtesy and j
thorough acquaintance with the business, I
stands ready to wait upon customers. This :
i - one of the solid sections of the house,
and here the purchaser wiU find an exlen- '
si vc, durable aud exoeliont line of goods, i
The department of Notions, GentsNFu r--;
liishing Goods, Hosiery, Gloves,' Ac., Ac., j
is very attractive and stylish. - Here the !
eye is fascinated by the tasteful arrange
ment and beautiful display. Everything is
new, neat, bright, captivating, and man
aged artistically by Mr. Ed. Bell assisted
by Mr. T. E. White. This is one of the pret
tiest sections of this elegant store.
In the Boot A Shoe department can bo
'found all styles of men’s boots and shoes,
ladies’ shoes and slippers, and boys’ boots
and shoes, made of the best materials and
sold at reasonable rates. Mr. Paid Miles
(’ariingtou will serve you here, and please
you, if politeness, attention and prices can
do so. This department is extensive and
filled to meet all demands of trade.
In the 5th section we found an immense
sti >ek of Clothtno, Hats and Shirts—the
tho largest perhaps ever exhibited in this
market. Here a man or boy can be dress
ed in suits from a few dollars up to fifty.
J his department is under the management
(•; Mr.T. L. McComb, assisted by Mr. Em
mett McComb, both well-known and first-
class salesmen.
In Carpetings, Rugs, Oilcloths, Blank
ets, Ac., which is a specialty in this house,
M r. Joseph defies competition. Here Mr. T.
L. NieComb displays his fine taste in the
artistic arrangement of these beautiful
goods. Tho ladies, especially delight to
visit this partof the store, and are always
met with a courteous reception by Tebe
McComb.
Mr. Miller White presides diligently at
the Cash Desk. Of course Mr. Joseph super
vises everything, but having the good gen
et a’l superintendence, indoors, of iir. T. L.
McComb, he is enabled to spend a good
partof his time In receiving, buying anci
shipping cotton.
But to know how pretty a Dry— Good’s
st<>re can be, one has to go and see Joseph’s
elegant establishment. Where there is such
a variety and so many different tastes to bo
catered to, mere description is very unsat
isfactory. The silks and the linens and the
woolens are so inexhaustible in stock, style
quality, and the laces, ribbons, gloves,
neckwear, hosiery corsets and tho thousand
other articles women love to buy and wear,
are displayed in such profusion that lan
guage fails to enumerate much less to de
scribe. Then call and see and be satisfied.
I.adies at a distance needing any goods
usually kept in a first-class dry-goods
store can implicitly rely upon gettiug pre
cisely what they order from Adolph Jo
seph’s Corner Store.

Editotw Union & Recokdeb:—Since
last I wrote you I have witnessed many
pleasing sights and heard many pleasant
words spoken. On the second Sunday in
tiiis month I went to see Mr. John Boyer,
Sr., one of the oldest citizens in this coun
ty baptized. He is old and feeble and had
to be baptized sitting in a chair. After
preaching I had an invitation to dine with
him and attend service at his residence in
the afternoon. Messrs. James and John
Boyer have splendid crops. I attended
“Deep Step” camp meeting. The weather
was so inclement as to prevent avery largo
attendance. I met Rev. G. G. Smith there,
of your city. Washington is his native
county, and lienee he was no stranger
there. “Dark Corner” is not suoh a dark
place as one might think, if he would just
stand and listen to the noise made by the
steam gins and saw mills. Fox and Robin
son are running again on full time cutting
some very pretty lumber. Mr. Thos. Pros
ser after losing his mill took his engine a-
way-ftnd put up a steam gin. Mr. P. is not
easily baffled and is going ahead in his
mill again. Mr. James Harrison has a new
mill just above Mr. P.’s on the same stream,
so you see enterprise is not confined to the
cities entirely.
In my next I will tell you something of
Linton and its inhabitants. Farmers are
harvesting their crops as fast as they can.
As a general thing cotton was damaged by
the late dry weather and will only yield
three-fourths of a crop in this section.

Died, in Baldwin county, on tho 22d of
September, 1879. in the 74th year of his age,
Mr. John J. Buck, after a long illness of
over two years. Suffering at times with
rheumatism and partial paralysis, he was
never known to murmur, but bore his af
fliction with patient resignation. He was
born and lived about half his lire in Wash
ington, the balance in Baldwin county. He
leaves a wife and five children to mourn
their loss. The writer has known him fifty
yearsand has never known a more upright
and honest man in all his dealings with
men, nor a more congenial companion to
his family and friends. He merited the
confidence andestrem of all who knew him.
We buried him in the Linton cemetery in
the presence of a large concourse of rela
tives and friends. The Bov. T. J. Adams
made a few appropriate remarks, warning
all that they too must die, and after death
the judgment. s. E. w.
