CORRESPONDENCE.
Mr. Editor. Was either Clay, Webster
or Calhoun ever Governor of their respec
tive States?
Enquirer.
We .have not a biography of either of
these great statesmen for convenient ref
erence; but it is our impression, as our
memory serves us, that neither of the im
mortal trio ever served in that capaci
ty.
Mr Editor: Can you tell me of a good
remedy' for rheumatism, or neuralgia?
A Sufferer.
Answer: We have little faith in the thou
sand and one quack remedies. The follow
ing is the best that ever came under our
own experience or observation:
Balsam of sulphur and turpentine mix
ed; take twenty-five drops in a little wa
ter on retiring. If it is severe, repeat the
dose, and persevere in it. It is a good
tiling and no harm in it. Any chemist will
tell you the proper quantities of each.
Mr. Editor. What is a fellow to do that
has nothing to do? Idler.
There is no man of sound body and mind
but has something to do. Go down to the
grain patches and scare away the birds If
y T ou can find nothing else to do.
i THE BALDWIN' COUNTY OAT CLUB.
Messrs. Editors Union <fc Recorder:
Gentlemen: In the Macon Telegraph &
Messenger, of the 16th Inst., appeared an
article which brings before the public the
Oat Club of Baldwin county In a very ridi
culous light. Certainly the originator of
that article has a very limited knowledge
of farming. This eiub, composed of twenty
members, was gotten up principally for the
encouragement of a moio extensive produc
tion of this valuable grain, and we are sor
ry to sec a disposition on the part of our
neighbors to ridicule this enterprise, and
in order to give a more full expression of
their appreciation of this club, they see fit
to show us up to the public in a false light.
The article states that “Judge Welden”
had applied to his acre “already rich” “200
bushels of cotton seed and 50 two-horse
loads of stable manure.” Upon investiga
tion I find that the above name alludes to
myself. I applied to my acre 25 one-horse
loads of stable manure and HO busheis ot
cotton semi, and upon land that, four years
ago was comparatively worthless. The
article also stated that Mr. Walker had
applied 1000 bushels of lime upon his acre,
which is simply absurd, to say nothing of
the others. It is to be hoped hereafter
that the Telegraph & Messenger before
publishing this eiub to the world will see
that their article contains facts.

A BRAND PIC NIC AT OLD FORT

The old Fort, is, this year, the popular

On Thursday iast, there was a joyous as

stood, was cleared of rubbish and under
growth, a stage erected under the wide
spreading branches of a huge oak tree, a
barrel for ieraonade was standing conspic
uously mar the stage, giving promise of
creature comfort, and a parior organ, oc
cupied a corner of the stage.
At half past nine o’clock, the Sunday
School children formed a line near the res
idence of Mr. Moseley, and began their
juaren down the natural causeway that
lea from thence between deep ravines
on each side to the Fort.
It was a beautiful beginning for the day,
that lino of march of those young soldiers

brought them to the fort, and then upon
the stage they crowded to perform the
second part of the programme for the day.
Mrs. Orrae presided over the organ, and
the other ladles of the school were there
waiting to assist in the music. The part
of the programme that was then perform

1st. Song by the School:—“Praise the

HOME ENTERPRISE.
Passing around town last week in search
of an item of interest, we were drawn into
the shops of Gardner <fe Cox by seeing the
frame of a new omnibus on which “Boub”
was at work. What’s this? we inquired.
“This,” said the mechanic, “is an omnibus
we arc building for Capt. Bell, and we are
going to make a good one too—one that
will stand pressure and hold together as
long as anybody’s work ’can.” Do
make the springs? asked the reporter.—
“No: tho springs are now being made in
Philadelphia, and will be ready when we
want them,” said old lieub. We left think
ing to ourself that if our homo mechanics
can do such good work as this omnibus
promises to be, our people would do well
to patronize homo industry and keep
amongst them large sums of money that
go away from them and never return.
bread, cakes and lemonade in
it was a feast in truth to them.
At about four o'clock, the party began to
disperse and return to their homes.
That it was a day of much enjoyment to
the children, is tho voice of each one that
took part in it. Hurra for Fort Wilkinson!
Hurra for the May day pic nic! May the
Sunday School have many returns of the
happy occasion and may each child learn
to be thankful to the Giver of all good
things.
Editor Union & Recorder :
Since the appearance in last issue of
your paper of the “locai,” in reference to
one of my Plymouth Rocks performing
the double duty of nursing a brood and
laying at the same time, I have heard sev
eral comments in regard thereto.
While some consider it a very unusual
occurrence others express themselves as
though it was one quite common in their
experience. I grant that many hens com
mence laying a da3' or two before they
abandon their chicks, but what age usually j
are the chicks, before the mothers com
mence to lay?
I will give my experience with four P R [
hens, ail of this breed I have set this year, i
and I ask any experienced poultry raiser if |
they have ever known the record equaled.
Tito first hen brought off her chicks
April 17th, commenced laying May 9th. !
Next hen brought off chicks April 22 com- j
menced laying May icth. Third hen I
brought off chicks April 23th, commenced !
laying May 19th. The last of the four {
brought off chicks May 2nd, not yet lay- j
ing.
Now tills is not the record of an Individ
ual bird but of a flock, and if any one can I
c-qual It I would like to have them to step j
forward and report, and if any have anoth- j
er breed, or a strain of Plymouth Rocks j
that will excell this record, I think one will
be getting the stock cheap at $10 per set
ting of eggs. C G. Wilson.

Fure.—The cry of fire about 9 o’clock, on
Monday night, 15th, stirred the city sud
denly. It was soon found to be at a house
owned by Mr. M. H. McComb, near Jar-
ratt’s spring. The lire was soon extin
guished. It caught on the roof near the
chimney from sparks. Tho house was oc
cupied by negroes. Fifty dollars will
probably cover the damages. This is the
first lire' wo havo had in tho city for a long
time, and itcaused some excitement fora
short while.
“B. H. J.” in Die Telegraph <fc Messenger
of Tuesday, had an account of what Bald
win farmers were doing on their brag oat
patches. He was as extravagant in his
facts as unfortunate in giving the names
of parties. As an instance, he said Mr. Joe
Cold Comfort—Mr. Vennor’s cold spell
for the past three weeks, has disarranged
everything seasonable inside and out of
doors. Winter clothing and covering that
: had been put away with tender care, that
moths might not corrupt them, have been
overhauled and brought into sendee again.
Wood-piles had to be reinforced and coal
scuttles resurrected from tho cellar corn
ers, where they had been snugly stowed
away. Out of doors ’twas quite as bad.
Garden vegetables would not grow, fish
would not bite, and the summer loafer
found his “occupation” on the street corn
ers rudely assailed by the Northwest wind
Pic nic parties faced the rude assaults of
tho elements and made great efforts to find
“pleasure in the pathless woods,” but all
their heroic endeavors could not suffice to
drive off the chill that shook all nature, or
tho dull clouds that obscured the sweet in-
lluences of the sun on a May day morning,
There may be the soothing reflection to
the gude-wife, that the week’s washing has
been lessened by tho absence of summer
toggery from the laundry, but this Is very
“cold comfort” to be set against the ab
sence of other seasonable and sociable
pleasures and benefits usually gathered
from the lap of May, month of flowers,
and sweet sunshine.
Prudence, Industry and sobriety do not
always make men rich or even comforta
ble in life, though they make them happi
er. A stray watermelon seed, dropped from
a car window, on a hard beaten track, will
lie there nine months, then sprout and pro
duce a healthy vine, while another placed
carefully with the hand In a hill or bed,
prepared with every precaution, and plant
ed In season will neither come up nor grow
a vine. Good luck has much to do with
men’s success in life. The Bible even tells
us, to whom much Is given much is requir
ed.
More Hopeful Times.—The past six
weeks have been the tightest In money mat'
tors wo ever remember to have experienc
ed in this town. Emphatically It was the
“ragged edge” of poverty’s hard hill. In a
few days the crops of oats and wheat will
be harvested, and the laborers will
be paid. Tho small grain will come Into
market in a few days: wool is already
corning in and meets a ready cash sale.
Fruit of all kinds will follow in a few
weeks, and then the dead-lock will bo bro
ken, thank the Lord!
“Honey Slinger,” a
you j machine by which honey is extracted from
the comb. In a few minutes Mr. Moseley
brought in a large tray filled with honey
comb in racks taken from his “Golden Bee
Hives.” Tiuse he placed in the honey ex
tractor, by a rapid whirl of which the hon
ey was thrown out in the tub, and tho
racks containing the empty comb set aside
to be returned to the hives to be again fill
ed with honey. In the meantime Mrs. M.
had given eaeli of us a plate and a knife
and we proceeded to extract the honey by
the old-fashioned chewing process, which
was a delightful occupation—It would be
difficult to imagliio anything sweeter.—

Mr. .J. S. Bierce, ono of the greatest suf
ferers in the loss of property by the lato
yclone, says ho received unexpected kind
ness aud substantial sympathy from two
colored men in this city. He carried the
fragments of his wagon to tho shops of
Frank Bell and Wm Paine and they repair
ed it In a substantial manner and refused
to take pay except for material furnished,
contributing their work to help a man over
taken by a sudden misfortune.
Unreliability is fast getting to be the
curse of the country. All sorts of peoplo
make all sorts of promises, and seem to
think they are made, like pie-crust, to be
broken. Even good men forget promises,
made without realizing their sacrednoss,
or remembering them, put them aside, if
found to be burdensome, seemingly with
out compunctions of conscience. Rev. Sam
Jones says church members have broken
so many promises the Lord will not trust
them any longer, they “must shell down
the corn.” There must be a change, es
pecially in all matters of business. The
disease is epidemic and will require heroic
treatment, but blisters must be applied
and pest-houses be established, if necessa
ry. Reliable men must avoid the contami
nation which is surrounding them. Tore-
store and maintain confidence between man
and man promises must beheld sacred and
inviolable.

Notwithstanding Mrs. Wootten has sold
so many hats since the season opened, she
is continually receiving new additions to
her already superb stock. The last assign
ment to her was a case of beautiful lace
straw hats and bonnets of tho latest pat

Surely no lady could fail to make a selec
tion, and after it went through the deft
hands of Mrs. W., could not help pleasing
the most fastidious.
In connection with her hats, was a select
lot of hair goods, consisting in waves, co
quets, charms and Saratoga waves. You
should not fail to see them.
