Dalton, Ga., March 24th, 1886.
Mr. Editor I receiye my paper
every week, and you know not how
much pleasure it affords me to read it
After I have finished my labors, and
seek my quiet home, surrouuded by a
loving wife, and four bright eyed
boys, I seat myself in my rocking-
chair, take my Milledgeville paper,
and read the “good news from home.”
It reminds me of the days long past,
when you were working for the pa
per, then controlled by Boughton,
Nisbet & Barnes. It refreshes my
memory concerning many scenes of
my childhood days. I sometimes
“wish I were a boy again” that 1
might ramble upon the banks of the
old Oconee, with my shot gun upon
my shoulder and shoot, as in days
past, the innocent robin or yellow
hammer, as the case might be.
Often do I think of the days, when
I was a young man, of the pleasant
hours I spent together with my
friends, Will Scott, Ollie White, Jim
Stetson, Geo. Caraker and others,
sailing upon the smooth surface of
the mill pond, just above the Old Mill.
We would engage old Uncle Mick’s
batteau, and with our girls take a
pleasant ride. We would make the
woods ring with our merry voices,
and the melody of sweet music from
the strings of the guitar, accompanied
by the sweet notes of the llute, would
be wafted by the gentle winds from
shore to shore, till our souls were fill
ed with rapture and delight. “Oh
happy childhood days! How can I
ever forget the scenes that my memo
ry calls up from that joyous period of
my existence?”
While in Milledgeville recently I
took a stroll toward the river. I
heard the same old song she sang
when I was a boj*, I stood and gazed
upon its bosom, as it silently moved
in majesty toward the sea. The
thought came over me, I too am upon
a river, drifting toward the sea of an
endless eternity. At the mouth of
that river lies a grand old Vessel
being filled with souls; it is the old
Ship of Zion. She has made many a
voyage across that sea of glass. She
has encountered many storms, but
has withstood them all, and her Cap
tain stands upon her deck and says,
“Come for still there is room. I have
landed many thousands, and will land
many more.” I have had two to
cross on her, mother and brother, and
some day I expect to take passage,
for the golden land, and to see them
on the beautiful shore “waiting and
watching for me.” I wish I could be
accompanied upon that voyage by
my dear friends of Milledgeville and
Baldwin county. Wont you go? It
will cost you nothing, but Faith in
God. If you will but make up your
mind, you will be well paid for mak
ing the trip. You too have friends
there, that you would like to see, but
you can only see them by taking pas
sage in this grand old time-honored
vessel.
I will say to Capts. Conn and New
ell stand firm and some day you will
cross over and you will be greeted by
thousands of children, whom you
taught in the old Methodist Sunday
School at Milledgeville. You will be
greeted by those beautiful songs
which they sing here, which are only
faint echoes of the Heavenly strains.
May God bless you, Mr. Editor, and
all of inv friends, and if our last part
ing at "Milledgeville was our final
parting on earth, may we all meet in
Heaven at last.
Yours,
J. H. Smith.

At a meeting of the Procopean Lit- j
erary Society last Friday evening, the j
Society was re-organized under the j
name of Procopean Library Society.
A new constitution was adopted and
the following officers elected; L. H. j
Wood, President; Capt. Tom Minor, j
Vice President; Marion Harris, Secre-
tary; Chas. Minor, Treasurer; Mrs. j
Taylor, Librarian, and L. H. Wood, j

The events of the past week have !
made a majority of our city council
come out squarely on the dry side.— ,
It is doubtful if they will ever, under
any circumstances, issue another li
cense for the sale of liquor in this city.
The licenses all expire next December.
Dr. Armstrong, of Atlanta, stated
in his Opera house speech that “Glad
stone, the so-called grand old man, is
the greatest political hypocrite in the
world.”
We should like for Dr. Armstrong
to give a good reason for saying this
about Mr. Gladstone. It will puzzle
him to do it. He is risking his posi
tion of Premier to do justice to the
Irish. Now let him show that he is a
hypocrite in that. He was talking to
Irish people; what do they think of
his assertion? Parnell does not think
he is a hypocrite in seeking to secure
Home Rule for the Irish, and land and
homes for the Irish. Some people
talk without reason or discretion.
Last Saturday morning, a negro
man called at a residence on Hancock
street and told the lady of the house
that her son had sent him for a pair
of his shoes, which could be found in
his room. The shoes were wrapped in
a copy of the Atlanta Constitution
and sent as requested. But alas! our
“brother in black,” is too often equal
to the heathen Chinee in “tricks that
are vain,” for when the young man
returned home to dinner, it was found
that a very plausible story had de
prived him of a six dollar pair of shoes
which he had sujiposed were still se
cure in his own room.

from
well
The action of the citizens of Milledge
ville, yesterday, in notifying an obnox
ious character to leave without cere
mony, was mild when the offense of
the guilty man is considered. A man
who places himself outside of the pale
of public decency cannot complain
when an outraged community is de
termined to get rid of him.—Constitu
tion 25th.
The outrage committed in Baldwin
county on Misses Hunphries and
Rains and their horrible murder may
be directly attributed to whiskey
Let the demon beverage be swept
from the land.—Vienna Academic.
The majority of over 400 given in
the city of Milledgeville for prohibi
tion calls for our continued love and
admiration for the old Georgia capital.
There were 1,955 voters registered,
and of this number 1,255 were colored,
and 730 white.—Hawkinsville Dis
patch.
The Baldwin Election.—The
result of the Baldwin election was a
surprise to many of our citizens. In a
very heavy vote, on the face of the re
turns, the majority “for the sale” is
given at 301. Information received at
this office points to a contest, on the
illegal votes. The result will, no
doubt, be declared in accordance
with the expressed will of a majority
of the legal voters of the county.—
Ishmaelite.
The election in Baldwin on Monday
resulted in a great victory for anti
prohibition. The vote was, Against
the Sale, 704; For the Sale, 1,005. The
vote in Milledgeville was most credita
ble to her intelligence, and evinced
her strong desire to rid herself of the
great evil of barrooms. Her vote
was 576 for prohibition and 165 for
barrooms, being over 3 to 1 against
the sale. We presume there is no oth
er place in the county where they will
tolerate barrooms, yet they are deter
mined to fasten them upon Milledge
ville. As the costs of some tax execu
tions were not paid, and as other ir
regularities are claimed, a contest is
spoken of.—Sandersville Herald.
Baldwin’s Election.—We are sorj
ry that Baldwin county did not vote
whiskey out of her borders. Had she
done so, the step would not have been
regretted. We lay down this proposi
tion: a county or city can prosper with
or without prohibition; but where
prohibition exists, the interests of the
people certainly are not injured, while
the .moral tone is elevated and the
people enjoy greater tranquility and
are freer from broils, turmoil and
tragedy. In addition its benefits will
become more and more apparent—its
effect upon the growing generation
will be beneficial in a marked degree.
Under its rule our young men and
boys will develop into better business
men and better citizens. We consid
er this one of the two strongest points
in favor of prohibition, the other be
ing the decrease in crime. Upon such
a platform intelligent and upright
people can scarcely do otherwise than
array themselves upon the side of
prohibition; and in this connection it
is gratifying to know that the white
vote of Milledgeville and Baldwin,
taken as a whole, was decidedly a-
gainst whiskey and its pollutions, and
that the defeat of prohibition is in no
way attributed to this majority, the
result being clearly due to the negro
vote under the manipulation of a few
stragglers from the white column.
We congratulate the good people of
Milledgeville upon the stand they
have taken. Though defeated, they
deserye no less the commendation of
men.—Eatonton Messenger.
By the Card.—No one is author
ized to speak for General Gordon in
the matter of the gubernatorial race.
He has not himself decided what he
will do. He lias had the most urgent
appeals to allow the use of his name,
coming from all sections of the State,
and from persons representing every
shade of demooratic opinion.
These matters he has laid before
some of his friends and holds in abey
ance. He is engaged in closing a bus
iness matter of great magnitude
which will insure the success of his
railroad enterprise for Florida, a new
and important line, and leave him a
very rich man, if they are successfully
carried through. He is now in New
York busied with this matter and has
no time for politics or anything else
until it is concluded.—Atlanta Con
stitution.
The House on the 24th immediately
went into committee of the whole
on the Dost Office Appropriation
bill.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, Chairman of
the Committee on Post Offices and
Roads, explained the provisions of the
bill. The bill appropriated, he said,
$54,326,588, as against an estimate of
$54,986,166 and an appropriation of
$53,700,990 for the current year.
The largest proportion of this in
crease over the appropriations for the
curent year occurred in the item for
the railway mail service, the increase in
this item amounting to $1,585,000.
This was a large increase and was due
to the fact that the appropriation for
this service for the current year
was far below the needs of the service.
The bill contained but two legislative
provisions, one relative to special
mail facilities which had been in the
bill for the past ten years, and the
other to the mail messenger ser
vice. Mr. Blount moved the gene
ral debate on the bill be limited to
six hours. Agreed to, and the discus,
sion proceeded.

Macon, March 25.—[Special to At

was in this city from Milledgeville to
day. Mr. Brake thinks that affairs
will now quiet down somewhat. He
feels confident that the prohibitionists
will contest the late election on van-
oils grounds.

Carpenter of New England have spar
ed neither pains nor expense in build
ing an organ with indicator showing
the exact amount of pumping it re
quires to fill the bellows, and keep the
instrument going. The indicator is
placed before the player, and of course
saves all unnecessary hard work of
pumping; it is a complete guide to the
use of pumps, pedals and swells. It
commends itself to teachers, by help
ing them to teach the full expression
of music, and in fact is the only inven
tion that makes the player master of
his instrument. The pioneers, J. W.
