Prohibition on Saturday. On Saturday inoming at a little past 11 o’clook, the friends of prohibi bo * procession and march - Married.- On Thursday afternoon last at 3 o'clock, at the residence of the bride's father in this city, Mr. E. B. Collier, of Atlanta, and Miss Addie Wall, daughter of Mr. John B_. Wall. Mr. Collier is well known and* highly esteemed in Atlanta, and Miss Wall is a lovely young lady possessing all the qualities necessary to make him a happy home.

The Milledgeville Business Union (of which every property owner and good citizen of Baldwin County ought to be a member) for the purpose of ob taining proper information, asks all parties who have lands, houses, or any real estate for sale to put such proper ty before the real estate agents in Milledgeville, stating how much land and houses and price. The object of this notice is to bo ready for buyers in case any come along. A progressive euchre party of eight couples, at the residence of Capt. O. H. Fox, on Friday night last, resulted in Miss Gertie Treanor getting the first prize, Mr. D. S. Fargerson of Mai ;on, obtained the second prize and Mr. L. H. Ardrews won a ginger- cake, through his persistence in lag ging behind all the balance of the players. The company is said to hare enjoyed the evening very much. There was also a progressive euchre party at Mr. T. 1,. McComb’s Thurs day night. Miss M. G. Layipley and Mr. John Allen were the winners of the first prizes and Mrs. Mapp and Mr. Lyman Compton won the prize (which by the way is not much prized) for being the slowest in the game. Some two or three weeks since. Rev. II. McDonald, the pastor of Poplar Springs colored Baptist church, had a conversation with the writer on the subject of the prohibition movement, in which ho announced that he was entirely opposed to it. We were therefore very much grati fied when he called at this offiee on Saturday last and said that he had in vestigated the question thoroughly and he was persuaded he had been mis taken in his first view of the matter. He said as a minister of the gospel, he could not advocate a cause which, if successful, would bring so much mise ry and ruin on his fellow men. He expressed his regret that he had done the cause of prohibition some harm, while holding his first erroneous con victions. but that for some little time past he had tried to do away with the evil he had done and was now work ing with all his ability for the good cause and expected to continue to do so till tlie last ballot shall be cast on the day of the election. We honor the course that he has taken under his conscientious convictions of duty and trust he may have great success in his labors. He desired us to make this announcment as he wanted all his friends and the public in general to know where he stands. He is an exceptionally intelligent and well read man and is* calculated to do much good. v> th" *■ -—| The following resolutions were of fered by Mr. J. C. Hinton and unan imously adopted by the Young Men’s Prohibition Club of Baldwin county on last Tuesday night: Wliereas. By the 14th amendment to the Constitution of the United States the colored people were made citizens, and can not be deprived of the rights thereby given them. And whereas. We believe in the lan guage of senator Hoar of Massachu setts that “education is indispensibleto the continued existence of liberty,” and that demagogues, taking advan tage of the ignorance of uneducated voters try to leadthemto vote against their own and their country's inter ests: Resolved, That we are heartily in favor of educating the colored people as the best means of maintaining the liberty of the people and favor the passage of the Blair Bill, now pending in congress, appropriating $77,000,000 to educate the illiterates of the country, of which sum Baldwin county would get each year not leBS than $10,000, to be dividtd equally between the two races. And Resolve ] 2nd, That we, constitu ting a large body of the citizens of this community, urge our Representa tive in congress to do all lie can to ward* the success of this bill. formed an im at the Presbyterian churc ed by the music of our city brass band to Amusement Hall. The stage was soon occupied by a large number of ladies and gentlemen, and a choir of colored singers, accompanied by a melodion,|played by one of their num ber whom we could not see from the place which we occupied, sang several good pieces with excellent voices. Rev. Mr. McQueen then introduced to the audience the Rev. E. R. Carter, a noted colored minister from Atlanta, who for an hour advocated the cause of prohibition in a speech which for its effectiveness and interest to his hearers would be hard to equal and most difficult to excel. We had heard that he was one of the best and most successful workers for prohibition in the Atlanta campaign, but neverthe less we must confess that we were most agreeably surprised as well as gratified at the masterly manner in Whieh he performed his part in the programme of the day. If every col ored voter in the county could have heard him and would then follow hi convictions of duty: there would be no question as to the result of the election. But the whiskey men, ad the poor ignorant colored voter to shut his ears to everything that may be said on the other side of the question and too many of them, bowing their necks to the yoke, follow their advice. Poor creatures! They talk about prohibi tion taking away their liberties and yet they are, for the time being, the slaves of the “wet” men, who tell them what they must or must not do and they obey, just, like the slaves in old times obeyed the orders of tlieir overseer. The speaker told them plainly that those colored voters who did so were worse slaves than they were before emancipation set them free. After the address, the Rev. Mr. La Prade was expected to addrpss the as sembled audience, but they had sat so long that it was deemed best to defer it and it was announced that lie would address the prohibition club after supper and the meeting adjourn ed. About 3 o’clock in the afternoon the Rev. E. R. Carter made a second address to a crowd gathered in the street in front of Massie & Ennis' store. _ Deputy Marshal Haygood Shot and Killed by Sam Ennis. Last Saturday afternoon about o’clock, Sam Ennis shot and killed Deputy Marshal C. N. Haygood. The shooting took place on Haucoek street near the store of Mr. L. H Thomas. Haygood after being shot twice in the breast, ran in the drug store of C. L. Case. Medical atten tion was rendered at once by Drs. Whitaker, Powell, Callaway, Sims and Smith, but he expired in about 30 minutes. While many persons saw the shooting, none seemed to know the immediate cause leading to it. After Carter got through making his prohibition speech on the street, Capt. P. T. Ennis, made a short speech on the anti-prohibition side. There seems to be no doubt that the difficulty origina ted about some remark that Haygood made about the speech. Soon after the shooting, Mr. Ennis surrendered to the Sheriff, C. W. Ennis, and was lodged in jail. On Sunday morning, Coroner Scott summoned a jury and proceeded to inquire into the cause of the death of Mr. Haygood. After being in session several hours the jury returned a sealed verdict and the facts obtained by them are not to be had. The Coroner informs us that the verdict of the jury was murder. As the ease will receive legal investigation, it is hut fair to all concerned to leave the law to bring out the facts. A prelimi nary trial will be held to-day or to morrow. Funeral of C. N. Haygood. The funeral of Mr. C. N. Haygood took place from his late residence, at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon—Rev. A. J. Beck officiating. The attendance was very large. The Baldwin Blues, of whieh company he was a member, turned out with full ranks to bury him with military honors. He was also a member of the Royal Arcanum, and this order joined in the procession and furnished the pall-bearers. At the grave a fervent and touching prayer was offered by Rev. J. I). Hammond, and the Blues fired the usual salute, and the large crowd returned to their homes. Mr. Haygood was about 32 years of age, and leaves a wife and three chil dren, a mother, brothers and sisters, and many friends to mourn his loss. Married.—At 12 o'clock, ou Thurs day, at the residence of the bride's mother, on Madison street, Macon, Ga., Mr. Walter Branham Broadfield, of Dennis Station, Putnam county, and Miss Fannie Burney, Rev. J. O. A. Cook, pastor of the Mulberry St. Meth odist church, Macon, performed the ceremony. The attendants were Mr. Johnson King, of Macon, and Miss Katie Pate, of Hawkinsville; Mr. B. E. Burney, of Macon, and Miss Nannie Pharr, or Marshallville; Mr. C. B. Cooper, of Savannah, and Miss India Holt, of Macon; Mr. Jordan, of Put nam county, and Niss Janie Polhill, of Macon. Mr. and Mrs. Broadfield left for their home at Dennis Station on the afternoon train. Personal Mention. Mr. Jas. F. Little ot Talbot countV spent last week in this city.

Miss Mattie Singleton was married in Eatonton, last Wednesday, to Capt Zachry of Morgan county. Judge D. B. Sanford returned from Greensboro’ last Saturday where he had been on a visit to his mother. Misses Ella and Gertrude Monfort of Randolph county, are visiting their uncle, Judge D. B. Sanford, in this city. Rev. Mr. Morton of the Presbyte rian church was announced to preach at the Methodist church last night, on Prohibition. Mr. Iverson L. Hunter, with his wife and child, left for their home in Jeffersonville, last Saturday after spending several days with Mr. R. L. Hunter and family. Mr. Charlie Hunter returned last week from St. Simon’s Island, where he spent some ten days, for the benefit of Ms health. Wo are glad to learn that he is much improved. Mr. Colquitt Carter, of Atlanta, was hi the city yesterday. Miss Kate Car ter and Miss Hattie Colquitt who have been visiting Capt. Newell’s family will return with him to Atlanta. Mr. R. B. Hall of The Sanodine Co. of Macon, was in this city several days the past week in the interest of medicines manufactured by that com pany. The great GeorgiaChill Rem edy is recognized as a reliable rnedi cine and is fast growing in public fa vor. Rev. Mr. LaPrade preached a most excellent sermon on Sunday night at the Methodist church. The text em braced first, the act of Pontius Pilate washing his hands before the Jews, in the vain attempt to shift from hi own shoulders the awful responsibili ty for his crucifixion when he gave the Savior into their hands to be cru cified, and secondly, the noble deolav ation of St. Paul, that he wen Id eat no meat while the world stood, if by his eating it he should cause his weak brother to stumble. Upon these two incidents he founded an unanswerable argument that we all have certain r< sponsibilities to our fellow men that require us to give up some of our nat ural rights at times for their benefit and that it is impossible to evade those responsibilities and yet claim to be followers of our Lord Jesus Christ The application of these general prin ciples he left to his hearers, each for himself, as occasion might arise in the course of their lives. Woolen and Winter «OOD$ Any one who was on our streets on Saturday evening last will remember the intense excitement which perva ded the large crowd that was in town. This should not be so. A similar con test has been waged in perhaps DO or 100 counties of the state. The matter at issue should be settled by reason and argument. We would urge our fellow citizens to keep a strict control over their own feelings, and strive to allay any undue excitement that may hereafter manifest itself. Let every' good citizen be a peace maker, and we may hope that the remainder of the campaign will be conducted peacefully to the end. We write this under the feeling that the best efforts of all good citizens are needed to effect so desirable a purpose. The Prohibition Club earnestly in vite all women, white and colored, to meet every Saturday morning at hah past ten, at the Presbyterian church, to march in procession from the church to the hall, to hear the prohibition speakers. Let all come who care for the souls or bodies of the men of Baldwin county. Mrs. A. V. DuBignon, Mrs. J. D. Hammond, Mrs. C. P. Crawford, Mrs. A. J. Beck, Mrs. E. E. Bell, Executive Committee. The Prohibition Club calls a meet ing for prayer at Mrs. C. P. Crawford’s next Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. All women interested in the cause of prohibition, whether members of the club or not, are invited and urged to be present. Mrs. A. V. DuBignon, Mrs. J. D. Hammond, Mrs. C. P. Crawford, Mrs. A. J. Beck, Mrs. E. E. Bell, Executive Committee. Mkrriwkther. Ga., > Feb. 27th, 1866.»' Editors Union & Recorder : The Prohibition men are making things lively near Merriwether. One young lady asked a man whose son had been killed, “If whiskey had hurt him much?” The giris are all wearing blue badges and will not notice a young man un less he has on one. No “on the fenra men” are considered Prohibitionists™ Mr. Watt Broadfield and bride re turned from Macon vesterday. Dr. Harper is in Macon. Mr. Wm. Harper is right sick. A certain lady near Merriwetber has had her roads worked well and she cannot answer the young men— and say “No the roads are very bad.’’ Mr. Mas Roberts has certainly had the roads worked well and it is a pleasure to travel them. The artesian well at Stevens Pottery is nearly completed. Can’t Merri- wether have one? Wish the Mayor would look into it. On one plantation near this city all the hands are anti-prohibition men and^the master is a red hot prohi bitionist. Can’t a Orally meeting be held there? See to it Messrs. H., G., M. and others. A young lady from Dennis says the Union & Recorder is one of the fi nest papers published in Georgia and she takes several Georgia papers too. _ E. For high grade fertilizers call on D. W.
