Our Farmers’ Club;
The meeting of the Farmers’ club
st Saturday, was largely attended
ul much interest was manifested in
le proceedings. The subject under
insideration was, "Improvement of
mb." Messrs. W. H. Bass, T. S.
tgley, C. P. Crawford, T. F. Newell,
<J. Ramsay and H. C. Vinson, par-
iipated in the discussion and gave
e farmers present some valuable
oughts and suggestions. Mr. B. T.
ffhune evinces a deep interest in the
ccess of the club, and makes an ex-
llent presiding officer. While the
lb has been in existence many years,
id has doubtlesss been a source of
easure and profit to its members, it
ver gave such bright promise of
efulness as at this time. For the
irpo.se of putting it upon a basis of
ire systematic and thorough work,
committee appointed for the pur-
>se, reported a constitution and by-
ivs! On motion, action was postpoii-
until the regular meeting in J une,
id the committee requested to have
eir report published in the Uniox
Recorder. The Agricultural de-
.rtment of the Union & Recorder
is tendered to the club to be used,
ider its dirction in the promotion of
■ricultuve. The offer was accepted
ith thanks and the appointment of a
nunittee authorized, which will take
arge of, and prepare matter for this
partment. It is believed that this
rangement will prove very benefi-
tl to the club.

Distinguished. Citizens who
are Dead,
Some of their Characteristics
and Personal Peculiarities.
The time in which they lived is suf
ficiently distant for us to judge of its
actors and events with a good degree
of impartiality, and yet near enough
to engage our sympathies, and to ex
ercise the influence of present and
living interests. Many of our young
men and women who have grown up
to manhood and womanhood, never
saw, perhaps never heard of
DR. TOMLINSON FORT.
When the writer came to Milledge
ville, in 1837, Dr. Fort was at the head
of his profession, and with Dr. Benj.
A. White, constituted the Nestors of
Medicine and Surgery. In those days
each physician had his own drug
shop, compounded his own prescrip
tions. and carried with liim a case or
saddle-bags in which they, and his
surgical instruments were deposited.
Dr. Fort was a man of many fine
qualities though rough in the exte
rior. He was over six feet high, and
possessed an iron constitution. He
was, though seemingly inattentive to
dress and personal appearance stamp
ed throughout with the fervid char
acteristics of a great mind and nature.
Dr. Fort's integrity was of that firm
texture that never stretched. It was
as solid as the rock Gibraltar. He was
fond of the game of chess, and he and
his contemporary, Dr. White, had
many a hard tussle over that fascina
ting and scientific game. He was a
forcible writer, as his popular book
on “Practice” abundantly attests. In
his practice he invariably rode horse
back, night and day, and never car
ried an umbrella, summer or winter.
He always wore boots, and he told
the writer that he wore one pair a
year with one half-soling. This was
owing to the peculiar manner in which
he put his foot to the ground, walking
without twisting or scraping his soles.
The Doctor loved politics, and edited
the ‘Federal Union’ several years, when
the paper was owned by Park and
Rogers. He served a term in con
gress and was for some time president
of the Central Bank of Georgia. He
loved fruit and flowers and was devo
ted to his family.
DR. BENJ. A. WHITE.
Perhaps no two men were more
different in temperament and physi
cal spirits than these two. There was
also a very marked difference in their
physical conformation. Dr. Fort was
tall, and what may be called “raw-
bone”, while Dr. White was short
and stout. We have seen Doctor
White Jay down on the floor and
laugh immoderately at some ludicrous
scene or funny object. Superior to
the pedantry or bombast which dis
dains common sources of instruction
and amusement, he was the most inde
fatigable sight-seer in Milledgeville.
An anecdote of the Dr's will be in
place. There was a Methodist minis
ter here by the. name of Mosely, who
had, it was said, a greater fondness
for dress than for expounding the
Scriptures. There came along a no
madic phrenologist, who gave an ex
hibition in the Methodist church at
night. After examining many heads,
Dr. White arose and proposed that he
examine the head of his friend (and
we believe relative) preacher Mosely.
Mr. Mosely stepped to the front and
took the chair. After a brief exami
nation and answers to the several in
terrogatories propounded, Dr. White
stepped to the front and asked the
phrenologist what sort of a preacher
he would make ?—anything else would
suit him better, was the reply. Dr.
White fell down on the floor, rolled
about and laughed as though he
would split his sides. H e had many pe
culiarities. He could walk as fast as the
average horse would trot. He found
time outside of the duties of his pro
fession to attend to those of his plan
tation and merchant's mill 11 miles
distant in Jones county. He very
rarely eat dinner at the time the fam
ily dined, preferring to eat the main
meal of the day just as he was going to
bed. He was a very exact man in his
business affairs. His will was a singu
lar one, yet in perfect keeping with
his character as a man. He exacted
that as little expense as possible be
incurred hi his burial; and ordered
that his coffin should be a plain,
square box, and that when deposited
in the grave, it should be covered with
dirt. This was neither singularity
nor parsimony. He wanted the mon
ey that might be so spent, given to the
noble purpose of educating the or
phans of Confederate soldiers. He
attended, usually, the Presbyterian
Church, but would never join in the
doxology ; he was a Unitarian in relig
ious belief.
His remarkable fortitude and self-
possession were illustrated on his
death-bed. He was aware that the
end was near. His son, Dr. Sam’l G.
White, then distinguished in his pro
fession, was lying on the bed near his
father, with his hand on his wrist.
“Samuel.” said the old man, “I want
you to give me a sign the moment of
of dissolution.” We were present.
One could not but follow With earnest
interest the progress of such a mind
towards the farthest margin of life, in
order, if possible to mark what might
he its feelings in the immediate antici
pation of the unseen world, and
whether before its departure, any
glimpses would even yet be afforded
it, of the truth and grandeur of that
revelation which professes darkly to
adumbrate some of its broken outlines
and parts. When the pulse .was flick
ering and about to cease forever, Dr.
Sam'l White said, “Father, the end is
here.” But the eyes of the old man
were closed, and liis lips sealed by the
impress of Death. He made no an
swer.
Dr. White was a highly educated
man, having had the advantages of
the finest institutions North and
South. He was a close reader and
kept abreast of all the scientific im
provements in his profession. Take
him all in all, his like we shall rarely
look upon again.

Hens are curious things at times.
The writer has one that wanted to
set, but he didn't want her to set. pre
ferring to eat fresh eggs to being
troubled with raising a brood of chicks.
So he contrived vjirious schemes to
thwart her intentions, but on her nest
she would go. Finally we filled the
box half full of brick-bats, old cans
and sardine boxes. She got up on top
of these and, wonderful to relate, laid
a fresh egg, as if to chide us for our
ingratitude.
P. J. Cline & Co. are busy all the
time from the fact that they are sell
ing goods so VERY cheap and for the
CASH.

An Afflicted Family.
Last Saturday, a week ago, Mr.
Jesse Bearden was taken violently ill
with pneumonia. He had removed
his woolen underclothing, on account
of the then warm Spring- weather,
and after working in his garden all
the morning, came into the house to
rest and was taken with a chill, fol
lowed by a high fever. His only sis
ter, Miss Lizzie Bearden, who was
living in Putnam county, came to see
him and was stricken down with the
same disease. Last Sunday morning,
after an illness of only five days, she
died. Mr. Bearden,’ lingered until
Sunday night when he also expired.
Two dead in one house is a rare and
sad experience in our city. Miss Sal-
lie, Mr. Bearden's eldest (laugher, who
has been ill for several weeks is still
confined to her bed.
Mr. Bearden was a quiet intelligent
citizen. He seldom left his home, be
ing in a disabled condition from sev
eral wounds he received in the late
war in the confederate service. He
was probably sixty years of age, and
leaves eight children, five daughters
and three sons—their mother having
died in this city in 1881.
The double funeral service was held
at the residence yesterday afternoon,
Rev. R. W. Bigham officiating. Mr.
Jesse Bearden was received into the
Methodist Church by Mr. Bigham
during his illness. Miss Lizzie Bear
den iiad long been a member of the
Baptist church.
The afflicted family have the sym
pathy of our community in their daep
affliction.

New Store in Milledgeville.
Special to Macon Telegraph.
Milledgeville, May 8.—Capt. W.
E. Haygood and Mr. C. T. Caraker
have rented the Temple store on Han
cock street, and will lit it up for a dry-
goods house by August 15. Captain
Havgood is a young man, but an old
merchant of recognized ability and es
tablished reputation. Mr. Caraker has
for the past ten years been associated
with Mr. P. J. Cline.and is a thorough
business young man. His smile is
proverbial, anil his winning manners
will add much to the success of the
new firm.
Died on the 1st of April, at the res
idence of her son-in-law, Mr. L. N.
Callaway, in Milledgeville, Mrs. Emily
Speightes, in her 79th year.
M rs. Speights was born and reared in
Baldwin county, piul her long life was
spent amid the scenes of her child
hood. Her life was comparatively
uneventful—given as it was to the du
ties of her quiet country home—but
this secluded sphere was brightened
by a character which other surround
ings might have made more promi
nent. but which nothing could have
rendered more beautiful. In all the
relations of life, as neighbor, friend,
wife, mother, she came up to the
measure of lier duty as a Christian wo
man. and no higher encomium could
be given to any one than this.
One feature of her character, especial
ly deserves to be recorded—not only
because so rare, but as adding a heav
enly charm to her society-—her unsel
fishness. Her life was given to others;
anil during her later years, unselfish
ness developed into self-forgetfulness.
During the long illness which preced
ed her death, she thought more of
the unrest and labor of those who
nursed her, than of her own suffering.
It is not difficult to account for the
character and life, of which so much
might be said. She was an humble
disciple of the meek and lowly Jesus;
and her own life was influenced by the
Spirit of her Lord. It was this influ
ence which gave the charm to her
life, and rendered more beautiful than
ever the gentle, submissive spirit.
When disease was slowly- separating
her from all earthly associations, no
murmur escaped her lips—all was
right to her—because it was the will
of her Savior.
Surrounded by her children and
grand-children, and blessed with eve
ry attention filial devotion could
prompt, she spent her last days and
hours. The hope which had been her
stay during life, was her comfort in
death : and so quietly- and peacefully
she passed to the better laud. She
“fought a good fight,” she “kept the
faith,” and henceforth there is laid up
for her a crown of rightousness, which
the Lord shall give to all who love His
appearing. B.

ALABASTiNE NOT KALSOMINE!
The use of which cannot be overestimated. It
is easilv applied, strengthens the wahs, readily
fills all'cracks in Plastering, can be used on
wood as weH^is Plaster; also, over old papering,
the white does not turn yellow or the tints fade.
’Tis also a good disinfectant, making it invalua
ble for walls of basements and rendering the air
pure and healthy. All of which will be sold as
low as the cU sest quotations of Macon, Savan
nah or any other market. This is no BOSH
through the medium of printers ink, but will
prove the same. Call and see before purchasing
and I’ll satisfy you.

reasonable that these goods can he sold so low, but the only secret about it is
that Mr. Lyons of the firm of Lyons & Cline is a man of urkat sympathy and
when he goes to New York he carries his
POCKETS FULL OF MONEY,
And stays a long timk, and he visits every hob and corner, and when lie
finds a l’nan in distress, with a large stock of goods on hand, trade dull, and
bills coming due, anil no money to pay them with, he commences right awav
to sympathize anil talk BUSINESS with him, and he is a tender-hearted man,
and don’t mind paying 25 cents for an article worth ONE dollar, and these
are the goods that we are offering you to-day. Of course it takes the CASH to

sells on credit can offer you. We are selling the best Calicoes that are made
for 5cts per yard, and beautiful Dress Ginghams at 71 cents per yard, and we
will sell you all the leading brands of Sheeting and Shirting anil Checked

"A Dollar Saved is a Dollar Made.”
Said Poor Richard in his Almanac a hundred years ago. But he left out the
important part how to do it.
ILi
-Have discovered the secret and now proclaim it to the-
fl orid Ei % ee of Charge.
First.—BUY YOUR GROCERIES CHEAP.
Second.—PAY THE MONEY ON THE SPOT.
We have tried this plan and KNOW IT WILL WORK. Our. business is
now firmly established on this system, which enables us to give our customers
the benefit of goods
BOUGHT WITH THE MONEY DOWN.
Times are said to be hard and money scarce, but this onlv whets our ambi
tion to sell GROCERIES AND CONFECTIONERY CHE A’P. The man who
buys on a credit, pays from 25 to 50 per cent, for six or eight months time, and
of course can

at that rate. It is plain that if he lives on a credit he will die in debt. Our
stock for the Spring and Summer
WILL BE KEPT COMLPETE;
and you are cordially invited to examine our prices. We don’t advertise
prices but had rather give them to you personally, then you can see IT IS NO
HUMBUG. We still make

we use for buying with the
