tK — The house occupied by Mr.
dull, in the southern part of the
iear Midway, was destroyed by
4 Tuesday afternoon, about H
k. The roof took lire from sparks
the chimney, and as the wind
ligh, the building was'wrapt m
es before assistance arrived. Mr.
..bill is employed at the Asylum,
wa- not at home, but Mrs. Hemp-
itli the help of her children,
led in saving most of their
-hold effects.
- house was the property of Mrs.
uaLane. She had no insurance
the loss, some six or seven hun-
dollars, falls heavily upon her.
There is a widow living in this coun
ty, Mrs. Harriett H. Stembridge, who
has seven sons, three sons-in-law, and
three brothers, and every one of them
voted for prohibition on the 22(1. If
any one can beat this record let them
speak out.
A negro boy named Stith Brown,
son of Patsey Brown of Midway, was
severely bitten during the early part of
last week, by a dog which was sup
posed to be mad. The dog was killed,
so it cannot be known whether he
was really mad or not. In such cases
it would seem the right thing to con
fine the dog if possible till time might
develope the fact of his being mad or
otherwise.
Last Sunday was a week, a woman
named Penny Williams, living on Col.
Tom Johnson’s place in this county,
locked up her hftuse and went to
church. The house by some means
caught on fire during her absence and
burned up, the greater portion of her
household effects being consumed
with it. A^out two years since, she
went off from home and left five of
her children in charge of it, the oldest
being a little girl, some eight or ten
years of age. The house caught on
lire and the little girl succeeded in
dragging two of the children out of it,
but the other two were burned to
death with all her household proper-
e.ty. How many other houses she
will have to burn before she learns a
litt’e wisdom, wUl have to be develop
ed by the future.
We would like to impress upon our
people t he importance of getting ac
quainted with strangers who are
seeking homes among us. A family
ought not to be allowed to live for
months without receiving a call from
a neighbor. Many a woman has be
come homesick for the reason that
she thought herself slighted by her
neighbors. This ought not to be, es
pecially should members of several
churches look after new comers and
see that they find encouragement and
assistance from those of their own
faith and order. This is not prosely
ting; but a Christian duty. If the
family have no church relation it is
none-the-less the duty of good peo
ple to make their acquaintance, and
by kind acts and Christian work lead
them up the better way. Look after
new comers and make them feel they j
are welcome among us, and soon 7
they will not want to leave us.
Mr. Editor:
Before us now springs an issue,
which undoubtedly demands the at
tention of every white man, it mat
ters not what his convictions may
have been in regard to prohibition,
or anti-prohibition. Men may cope
with each other conservatively and
with forbearence, but when the issue
is brought to bear so directly against
our fair women, when so vile, and
corrupt a mob of illiterate negroes as
congregated on our streets on Tues
day last, are arrayed against, and
taught to insult our mothers, wives
and daughters, I say, it is the duty of
every white man no matter how he
may have stood heretofore, to be
prompt in rendering his services to
the speedy removal of the cause from
whence such intolerable corruption
originated. It i6 well known that,
though I strongly favored temper
ance, I opposed prohibition, and held
that we were not possessed with the
legal right to deprive any man of his
business without just compensation
for the same, but if bar rooms are to
be the means of "involving our loved
ones and heaping upon them abuses,
and insults, I rush to their rescue, and
say' away with bar rooms as speedily
as possible, and if they can’t be
bought out, they can be voted out,
though I sincerely trust that an ami
cable adjustment may yet be effected
with the parties directly interested.
I will say in justice to the colored
people of Milledgeville, and very
much to tlieir credit, that there were
not more than twelve from the city
in that procession.

To the Secretary of the Ladies
Prohibition Club :—At the meeting
of the young men’s prohibition club
of Milledgeville, on Friday the 26th
of March, the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved. That we heartily recog
nize and highly appreciate the help
rendered in the late campaign for
Prohibition by the noble Christian
women of our community by works,
bv words, and by prayers, and that
w’e suggest the propriety of continu
ing their organization for the present,
and of meeting together once a week
in prayer-meeting to pray for the suc
cess of prohibition in the half dozen
or more counties which are to vote
on the subject during the month of
April.
A committee was appointed to com
municate the above resolution to
yoor elub. We do not consider this
an idle or a merely formal matter. We
believe that our cause is of God, and
that whatever of success we have had
has come from Him, and in answer to
the prayers of his people, as uttered
especially by the women in our midst,
who were heart and soul for us. We
believe that it was largely owing to
their influence that Milledgeville was
almost undividedly on the side of Pro
hibition. We would beg you there
fore to carry the case of our sister
counties to the throne of grace. We
will not be secure till we banish liquor,
not only from adjacent counties but
from the State, so that it will be dif-,
ficult to obtain it. And then we are
not selfish; what we have, we wish
others to enjoy. Our motto is “Peace
on earth, good will to all men.”
We have the honor to be your obe
dient servants,
J. C. Hinton,
T. F. Newell,
C. W. Ennis,
Committee.
In accordance with the above, pray
er meeting is appointed for this (Tues
day) evening at the Methodist church,
at 3 o'clock.
