By the time the liquor campaign is over, the campaign for Governor will commence. Let everybody keep cool. We have rarely seen anything so handsome as a slipper case worked by Miss Lillie Adler for a friend in Macon. Mr. Hatch Turner is offering high grade fertilizers for sale at low figures. Read his advertisement, in another column. If you would 1 (now the truth about the liquor business read what the Doctors say. It will be found on the first page. Words of cheer anil encouragement from the press and people all over the state come to the prohibitionists of old Baldwin by every mail. A lady in Florida writes that she Is praying for the success of prohibition in Baldwin county. We were unable to publish her letter this week. Jennie Calef" sSuperb Company will appear at Amusement Hall to-night and to morrow night. The press speaks in high terms of this company. Give them a full house. Supplies for the Asylum.—We Invite the attention of wholesale deal ers and manufacturers to the adver tisement of Mr. L. J. Lamar, Steward of the State Lunatic Asylum. Some colored men were worth be fore the war £1500. Now some of them sell themselves for a few drinks of whiskey. Those who do so howev er, no doubt assess themselves at just about their true value. Judge 1>. B. Sanford and children left last Saturday to spend several days with his mother, at Greensboro. They have the warm sympathy of our community in their late bereavement. The colored people of the South were in the old times, while slaves, the soberest laboring population in the world. It would be a sad thing in deed, if now that they have become free, they should become a race of drunkards. There are strong men who think they can get the good out of whiskey and leave the bad in the bottom of the cup. Beware ! Wine is a mocker! In the end it bitetli like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. What a man soweth that shall he also reap. Hon. F. G. DuBignon is expected to visit his old home next week. He will speak for prohibition. He is an elo quent and gifted orator and his na tive county is proud of him. He is — using liis great intellect for the good of his fellow-men and is destined to reach a proud eminence. Death.—We regret to learn that Mr. W. B. Marshall, eldest brother of Mr. S. B. Marshall of this city, died at or near Eatonton, on Sunday last. His death was caused by a carbuncle. Mr. S. B. Marshall was quite sick yester day and unable to attend liis brother’s funeral. Messrs. Massey & Funis and Messrs. Hall & Bass closed their stores Satur day and placed upon their doors these words : “Closed to save our friends and relatives.” Messrs. W. T. Conn & Co., T. L. McComb & Co., T. T. Windsor, and W. H. Roberts, also closed their stores to attend the Pro hibition meeting. We were shown last Saturday a pretty gold medal made by Mr. J. T. Cotoev, Mr. Joe Miller's accomplished -Jeweller. It was in the form of a painter's pallet with brushes of silver, and the word “‘Drawing,’’ handsome ly engraved on it. It was ordered by Miss M. G. Lampley as a prize in the Art Department of our College. We learn that Mr. Miller has been given the order for a Past Master's iewel to lie presented to Mr. Adolph Joseph by Benevolent Lodge. “Little Muffets' 1 bad good audiences at the Harris' yesterday. Miss Calef captured her audience, her songs and dances being encored in every in stance. Miss'Calef is a vivacious and pretty actress, and is well supported. Miss Lillian Calef as Filletta, as a flower girl, and Belle Pringle ably supported her sister, while Miss Hat tie Leon as Molly Mahoney, and Mr. Andrew Waldron as Pat Mahoney, foster parents to Muffets. furnished the comedy element.—Louisville Com mercial, March 24. Some of the antis say tills contest could have been and ought to have been avoided ; that our saloons are licensed until December anyhow, and before that time the legislature will meet and pass a general law. If that be so, where is the wisdom of their opposition? Why spend money and tight our noble women in a doomed cause? AVill the wholesale dealers continue to furnish the sinews of war in such a fruitless contest when they see county after county going dry? Right now is the great opportunity of the colored people. Every good man among them wants to 6ee his race elevated- raised up to a higher level of morals, prosperity and respect in the estimation of the world. They were made free twenty odd years ago, but everv body knows that a large number of them are slaves of a worse master than they ever had in the old en times. Any man can see this fact established every Saturday that comes around. Liquor is the worst master of any except Satan himself. Now let every man of them that wants to see liis people delivered from this slavery, and from the chaingang and the penitentiary and the bottom less abyss itself, vote and work, work and vet again we say work, for the banishment of whiskey from the country and in a few years they will see a vastly better state of things than that which exists at present. Married, on Wednesday last, at 8 o’clock, p. m. , at the residence of Mr. O. L. Brown. brother of the bride, Miss Mattie F. Brown and Mr. Mead Smith, all of this county. Rer. James Hall, of Macon, officiated. The at tendants were Miss Sallie Moore of Jones county and Mr. Wm. Rice ; and Miss Nettie Moore and Mr. Hal Brown. Many relatives and friends were pres ent to witness the marriage. The bridal presents were numerous and handsome. Mr. Augustus Brown of this county and Miss Anna Bozeman of Putnam, were married on the morning of the same day, at Dennis Station. After the ceremony Mr. Brown and his fair bride proceeded to the residence of Jiis brother and witnessed the marri age of Us sister, Miss Mattie, which occur) I as above stated.

He is putting in some good licks for his old home. Dr. T O. Powell, Dr. W. H. Hall and Col. R. L. Hunter and Maj. J Puss, attended the funeral of Col. L. N. Whittle, in Macon, last Saturday. We were gratified to have a call from our friend Mr. John L. Hammond of Savannah, on Saturday last. He has come up doubtless on one of his fre quent and regular visits to his vene rated mother. We are glad to see Prof. Gonzalez on the street again, after his six weeks confinement in his room with chills and fever. Under the skillful treat ment of Dr. Sims, however, he is now as bright and lively as ever—and is prepared to attend to the tuning of pianos and organs. Our former fellow-citizen, Mr. Frank M. Fair, now of Kinchen, Ala., has been made very happy by the ap pearance in his household of a sweet girl baby. He has named her Carrie, for Miss Carrie Fair of this city. Many friends here waft blessings to parents and child. We were pleased to see in our office on Saturday last, Mr. M. M. Folsom, the very efficient manager of tlie At lanta Constitution's News Bureau in Macon. He is a very versatile and excellent writer, and the large daily reports of Macon news which he sends to his paper shows that lie possesses a wonderful amount of vim and fine qualifications for his business. Miss Julia Pope, of St. Louis, Mo., who has been visiting her uncle, Mr. G. C. McKinley, left by the C. R. R., this morning, to visit friends and rela tives who reside in Albany, Ga. (And the youngest Colonel in our county is sad.) Miss Pope is accompanied by Miss Nettie Weston, who has been visiting the family of her uncle, H. M. Rose, Esq. She will go to Albany and other places in Southwest Ga., to visit relatives and friends. The young gentleman, who accompanied her to the depot, returned looking as if he had lost something. Mr. Joe Smith of Dalton is visiting the family of Mr. W. G. Hawkins. His childhood was spent in this city, and he went to the war from here in Capt. C. A. Conn's company. After an absence of twenty years, lie returns with snowy locks, [though only 46] to find his “Friends all scattered like ro ses in bloom." At the Methodist church, he met, last Sunday afternoon, two or three stewards of the church who attended Sunday School with him nearly forty years ago. He made a short address to the school and an affecting scene en sued. Enthusiastic Meeting of the Young Psahihitioa Club. The Prohibition Meeting. Notice having been given in town and country that Rev. Sam Jones would address the people on Saturday last on the subject of Prohibition, quite a large number were on hand at the appointed time. In accordance with the programme, a large proces sion formed in front of the Presbyte rian church about half past ten o'clock, and marched to Amuse ment Hall and filled up that building stage and all. A marked feature of the occasion was the large number of ladies who walked in the procession and helped to fill the hall. Doubtless there were a good many others who would have been present if they could have obtained comfortable seats. Singing by a number of ladies and gentlemen on the stage and prayer by Rev. W. A. Dodge of Cartersville, formed the preliminary exercises and then the great preacher, who today, probably fills the public mind of the South and West to as great an extent as any other one man, commenced his address. For more than an hour lie commanded the closest attention and most intense interest of the large crowd of 800 or 1,000 people who were present; and by argument, sarcasm, wit, invective, anecdotes and the most pathetic portraiture of the evils it .en tailed, he made war on alcoholic liq- ours and advocated the banishment of them from the land. He doubtless felt more at liberty than while preaching to use all the resources of wit, humor and stories which aptly illustrated the positions he maintained, and he fre quently had his audience in a roar of laughter at one moment and at anoth er, their hearts touched by recitals of the terrible effects of intemperance in special instances that he related. A large number of the colored people filled the galleries and he made at times strong and successful appeals (as we thought) to them, to give their support to prohibition. He urged the “dry" men to stand square up to their duty and stated in the most confident manner that he had no doubt of their success in the coming contest. At tlie close, he gave notice that he would preach to the men both white and col ored at the methodist church at half past two o’clock, and the meeting then adjourned after the benediction by the Rev. W. A. Dodge. At the hour named, the Methodist Church was packed by a crowd of whites on the floor of the church, and a large number of colored men in the galleries. After singing, led by Mr. Dodge, and prayer by Rev. J. C. Bry an, the preacher took as his text “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap," and preached one of his characteristic sermons in behalf of the temperance movement. It was a powerful and effective discourse, very much in the stvle which was charac teristic with him, when he preached here a year or two ago. He is truly a wonderful man, and the prohibition party here are under the greatest ob ligations to him for giving up a por tion of his period of rest at liis home with his family, to come here to help them in the fight they are making for what they conceive to be of the great est interest asid value to our county and community. Immediately after the sermon, Mr. Jones accompanied by Mr. Dodge, left on the cars for Cartersville. Well, what of the outlook ? We can truly say that we think the skies are bright and the prospect most encour aging. But let no prohibitionist rest on his oars. Eternal vigilance is tlie price of safety. Work faithfully till the last vote is cast, and then rest on your laurels and rejoice, if. as we be lieve will be the case, we gain the vic tory. LIST OF ADVERTISED LETTERS Last Tuesday night a very enthusi astic meeting of the Prohibition Club was held at the office of the County Judge. The meeting was call ed to order by the President, Mr. T. L. McComb, and opened with prayer, by Rev. A. J. Beck. On motion of Col. M. Grieve, the Secretary, Mr. A. J. Carr, then proceeded to enroll the names of those who wished to become members of the club. All present who were not already members, en rolled their names. The object of the meeting was to consult upon the man agement of the campaign now open under the local option law—election to come off on the 22nd of March next. It was resolved that all the members of this dub will wear prohi bition badges, that it may be seen how they stand on this important is sue. Mr. Sol Barrett, chairman of the Executive Committee, reported that he had written to a number of prominent prohibitionists and invited them to make speeches in this city, and that his committee hail made ar rangements for a mass-meeting in this city every Saturday during the cam paign. and expected also to arrange meetings in other parts of the coun ty. The colored club, which was holding a meeting in an adjoining room sent in a postal which they had received from Bishop Turner, in which he stated that lie would be here and address them on the 23rd. Enthusi astic remarks and pertinent sugges tions were made by Col. Miller Grieve, Rev. A. J. Beck, Rev. D. McQueen, Rev. J. D. Hammond, Dr. Hicks, C G. Wilson, C. P. Crawford, E. E. Bell W. T. Conn, J. W. McMillan, S. Barrett C. W. Ennis. Wesley Hall, Col. Thos Johnson, and others. Nearly £1000 was subscribed for campaign purpos es, T. L. McComb, Sam'l Evans, ami W. T. Conn each subscribing one hmi dred dollars, and. Dr. T. O. Powell Sol Barrett, C. W. Ennis, A. D. Nis bet, J. W. McMillan, and T. T. Wind sor, each, fifty dollars and so on, every one present contributing something, The announcement that Hon. F. G DuBignon of Savannah had promised to come here and muke prohibitiou speeches was received with loud and continued applause. We have failed heretofore to ac knowledge a pleasant communication from a young friend sojourning at Oxford Ga., received two or three weeks since, giving us sympathy and encouragement in our fight for prolii bition. It was too long to insert our next issue after its receipt, con sidering the matter then on hand that had to go in, and since that time, it has been overlooked ainid the many calls on our attention. We fear th campaign is too far advanced for it to be suitable fpr insertion now. ** What’s the matter Si? ” you are not looking well. “ O nothing only a slight cold.” In two days after the abovecoii vernation “ Si ” was very sick with pner, monia.
