The freight train on the Milledge ville and Eatonton railroad was dis continued last Tuesday. Services for the Baptist congrega tion are held regularly in the Bald win Blues’ Armory. Our Baptist friends should lose no opportunity to increase their sub scription list for their new churoh. Baldwin county is among the last to move on the temperance line, but she is coming in with flying banners. Rachel Malone, an aged colored wo man, died at the home of her daught er, Mason Odom, last Monday night. Mr. Sol Barrett is a zealous leader of the prohibition movement, and is chairman of the Executive committee. Married— In Baldwin County on Jan. 10th 1886, by Rev. C. B. Ander son, Mr. Win. Curry and Miss Mattie Martin. Mr. Emmet Caraker has been ap pointed Express Messenger on the Central railroad, between Eatonton and Macon. No record on the pages of your life’s history will bring ns bitter remorse as the thought that you have “led oth ers astray.” Mr. L. II. Wood is making a fine run fin his Legal Seal cigars. From a sample given us, we think they have just claims to popularity. Mr. W. 11. Hodges has been married ten years and never bought a load of wood until last Saturday. The rea son is plain, lie hasn’t lived in towa. The brick work on our new court house is nearly finished. It is expect ed that the building will be completed by the July term of the Superior Court. John Davis has opened a meat shop in Washington Hall, next door to Mr. Hendrix's store, where lie is serving tile public with excellent beef, pork and sausage. Mrs. Mary A. Martin, died at the Mansion last Friday. She was 77 years old, and paralysed. Her remains were taken to Savannah, on Saturday, for interment. I have a few Cloaks and New markets left, which I offer at and be low cost. H. Adler. A prominent citizen bad a streamer printed last Saturday for his little grand son, with this motto : “For my creator and fellow-men, and against the retail of LIQUOR.” The legislature at its late session passed an act requiring the superin tendent of the insane asylum to re turn to ilieir respective counties all ♦iarmless incurable insane. We learn that Mesrss M. Ferst & Co., of Savannah, and Mesrss. R. A. Pat terson A Co., tobacconists of Rich mond, have each given $5.00’for the new Baptist church. A prominent citizen of Putnam bounty said to us, the other day, “if you will put whiskey out of your town our county will send you five or six hundred more hales of cotton.” Rev. Dr. Evans, presiding ejder, preached at the Methodist church on Sunday night and again yesterday morning at 11 o’clock. Quarterly con ference was held after service yester day. After ten days of the coldest weath er ever known here, Sunday’s genial sunshine was welcomed with gladness, and all the churches had good con gregations. notwithstanding the melt ing ice made the sidewalks very wet. If prohibition should be carried in this county, it would not go into ef fect until next December, as the liquor licenses already granted wiil not ex pire until that time. This will give the liquor men ample time to close out without loss. A market house would soon pay for itself by the rent of stalls. Our city council has the financial ability to arrange for the erection ef a hand some market, by the use of its credit, without cost to the city. Such things are common in other cities, why not here? There is a saying—or there ought to be—that men hear their neighbors’ misfortunes with a great deal of for titude. The burning of the old “Washington Hall.” on Sunday night is certainly a good illustration of this hit of proverbial philosophy; especial ly as it is hoped that a fine building will spring up on the ashes of the old one. Under a special act of the last leg islature all voters in Baldwin county are required to register their names in order to give them the right to vote in any election. The carrying out of this requirement of the law will prob ably make it fifty or sixty days before the election on prohibition can come ofT. Superior Court.—The regular term of our Superior Court was open ed on yesterday morning hv the or ganization of the grand jury, Mr. Frank B. Mapp having been elected foreman, and the delivery of the usual charge by Judge Lawson. We learn that the docket is not a heavy Married in this city, on the 14th in stant, at the residence of Mr. Wm. A. Jarratt, Jr., the brother of the bride, Mr. Win. C. Sandeford of Burke coun ty, Georgia, to Miss Minnie Jarratt, daughter of Dr. Win. A. Jarratt of this place, Rev. A. J. Beck officiating. The attendants were Miss Mollie Hunter, of Milledgeville, and Mr. Cave, of Barnwell, S. C.; and Miss Lula Jones, of Burke county and Mr. George llaug of this city. There were no cards issued. Very few persons were present, and they consisted almost entirely of the near relatives and friends of the contract ing parties. The bride received quite a number of handsome presents and certainly carries with her to her new home the sincere good wishes of many warm friends living here and elsewhere. The newly married couple took the 10 o'clock p. m. train for Augusta, on their way to their home near Waynes boro, and the writer, who has known the bride from her childhood, begs leave to tender his congratulations, and to add to those of many others, his best wishes for their future happi ness and prosperity.

Denham, one of Putnam county's oldest and best citizena, passed through this oity last Satur day, on his way home from a visit to his daughter at Jewell's. He says prohibition has been of great benefit to his county, resulting in a deorease of crime and an increase of farm pro ducts and trade, and the peojile pay their debts better. WASHINGTON HALL BURNED. About 2 o'clock Sunday night the dread alarm of fire aroused our citi zens from their warm beds. The leap ing flames and lurid sky told that the fire was in the-business portion of the city, and anxious men hastened to the scene. It proved to be the old Washington Hall, once a famous ho tel, hut for some time past occupied only by colored people. It was a wooden building and made a big blaze. On the east was the brick block known as “Joseph's Corner,” and on the west, the brick store of Mr. H. E. Hendrix. It looked like the whole square was doomed. The crowd, which soon gathered, began at onee to remove the goods from the stores of Messrs. Joseph Staley, Mas sey and Ennis, and H. E. Hendrix, and also the furniture from the resi dence of Mr. Hendrix. The night was very still and damp, and the fire en gine did effective service, and most fortunately the fire was confined to the burning building and a kitchen or two in the rear. Washington Hall was the property of Messrs. Munday and Hendrix. The store rooms were occupied by John Da vis, meat shop, Hal Loftin, shoe shop, Flem Reynolds, eating house, Burley Davis, meat shop. The second floor, where the fire originate#, was also occupied by colored people. NOTES. The colored people had an Odd-Fel lows Lodge up stairs and lost all their lodge property. Mess. C. B. Goetehius and C. G. Wilson rendered valuable service in suppressing the fire. Mr. Staley treated the young men who guarded his goods after the fire, to hot coffee, light rolls and butter. Mr. Lee Hernandez, Mr. A. L. Elli son, and F. B. McGriger (colored) were the first to reach the engine house. Mr. Hendrix's porters. Bob Collins and Alonzo Torrence did valiant ser vice, under the direction of Messrs. L. H. Compton and H. E. McComb, in saving his store. Ann Williams, a colored woman who lived in a kitchen in the rear of Washington Hall, first discovered the fire and gave the alarm. While she was arousing the family of Mr. Hen drix, and others who lived near, her house caught fire and nearly all her household goods were destroyed. Our oldest citizens cannot remem ber when Washington Hall was built. Mr. Martin says a man by the name of Duncan kept this hotel about 1825 or ’26. This man Duncan was enga ged to be married; the night arrived and he failed to put in an appearance. A friend went after him and-found him in bed. He hastily arose and dressed himself, saying he had “for gotten all about it.” He reached his impatient bride in time to be mar ried. The election ordered by the city council to decide whether the work of boring the artesian well should be continued, took place yesterday. W r e went to press before the ballots were counted, but at 4 o’clock p. M. only 119 votes had been cast, and the larg er number were ‘‘against the well.” Hon. W. B. Hill's Address. MASS MSETIttG. fcjaer-'ihiTrr-rwiiaifMBWMM AT AMUSEMENT HALL. The prohibition meeting on Thurs day, notwithstanding the cold weath- •r, was very largely attended. Many of our best citizsns from the country met a large number of our town peo ple at Amusement Hall, and the large turn out, estimated by good judges at seven hundred or upwards, added to the enthusiasm of those present. The Hon. Walter B. 11111 of Macon, had kindly consented in response to an invitation, to make an address and about eleven o’clock, he was presented to the waiting audience by Col. Miller Grieve. Mr. Hill’s effort is spoken of by all who heard it as a very strong and effective presenta tion of the prohibition cause. He is a gentleman of very tine abilities and he had doubtless studiously and carefully prepared to discharge well and thoroughly the duty he had tak en upon himsalf. We think we may safely say that he made many friends who will be glad, if possible, to show ia the future, that they are not un grateful for his efficient help in the outaet of the prohibition campaign. We shall not attempt to report the speech. We should do the speaker an injustice were we to do so. The effect upon the audience seems to have been all that could have been desired. Strange as it may seem, some people who are not wanting in intelligence have never looked thor oughly into the question at issue. We heard of some of such people who were at the meeting, and who after hearing Mr. Hill’s speech, acknowl edged they had been enlightened and cenverted to the support of prohibi tion. The spirit of the speech was admirable and it could give bo just cause for offense to any reasonable person. All who wish to get a fine pair of woolen Blankets cheap, before the cold weather is over, call on me, as I am selling them for less than New' York coat. H. Adler. A writer in the Russkaia Meditz says that he has great success in the cure of over three hundred eases of acute and chronic catarrh, or cold in the head, by the use of ice cold water. The legs from the knee downward, are washed with it in the morning and at night, and rubbed vigorously with a coarse towel. It is necessary to do this for two days only, and many patients are said to have been cured In one day.

Walter Hill, for his address, to-day. On motion of Mr. Wm. Vinson, en rolling of names for the call of an election for Prohibition was then commenced. About seventy signed the call. There being no further business, the meeting then adjourned. E. P. Lane, Secretary. 1 Splendid UiMirluHili. On the morning of Dec. 19th, 1885, the angel of Death entered the home of C. R. and Anna E. Harper, taking from their arms their darling infant, Emma Goodloe, age 4 inos., and 27 days. I would not say, weep not fond pa rents, (Jesus wept at the tomb of one Heloved.) Through your falling tears with the eye of faith, look beyond the tomb, and view your babe with those who surround the Throne of God and the Lamb, now joining her little brother in songs of praise, where they are “watching and waiting for you.” “1 take these little lambs," said lie, “And lay them in my breast, Protection they shall find in me, In me be ever blest.” Auntie.
