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. G. T. Whildkn. An enthusiastic meeting of the pro hibition club was held last Friday night. A number of gentlemen who have been sympathisers with the wet party became members.

CLINE & CO. \ E W GOODS! ow mmB Milledgeville, Ga., March 27, 1886. 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. merriwether, Ga., > March 26th, 1886.)
