ALL SHOULD ENLIST NOW. first Volunteers Will Be Given Preference When Promotions Are Made. The nie'iilers o' t„e Mite militia who are anxious for ir< n c.tioa of or military glory will do well to enlist and not to wait h- iimt'nr call. Governor Atkinson 'has stated that the soldiers who answered tn first call will be given the preference at ail t.tties when pionotions are to be made. Some of t'.i con; tnics of the state mil itia are waiting for a second call for troops thinking that in that event they can go •with all of their present officers, but in this they will 'be mistaken, for if there is another call for troops the men who an swer it will be officered by the men who volunteered in response to the first call. It is regarded as certain by the members of the slate militia that there will be an other -call and those of military compa nies who now hold eommisions are deter mined to awit an opportunity to go to war with good jobs. An officer who is dose to ♦he governor said yesterday that the an nounced intention of Governor Atkinson Is to select men from the first volunteers to command any companies which might (hereafter the raised. His idea in this is that the first troops will soon gain an experience which will better fit hem for the remand of a company than the pres ent commanders of some of the companies now are. The governor will do this in recognition of the patriotic volunteers who (have so readily responded to the first call. ARMY SURGEON.

DEWEY’S HISTORY, The Commodore is a Fighter of the Old School. Commodore Dewey who commanded the squadron, who won a victory in the first fight of she 'American-Spanish war, is a fighter of the old school. He has been in many battles and has aways come out with glory and honor. His first detail after joining the navy was with the old frigate Wabash, of the 'Mediterranean squadron, in 1853-59, and it was this connection which made him the officer to command the Asiatic squad ron at his critical time. Commodore iDewey was born in Vermont on December 26, 1837. He was appointed from Vermont to the naval academy in 1854, graduating four years later. Imme diately upon graduation he was assigned to the AVabash, and eight days after Fort Monroe was fired upon he was transferred to the Mississippi, under Adwiral Fara gut, then doing duty in the gulf squadron. Dewey was with Farragut when one Os the hottest naval battles of the civil war occurred and forced an entrance into the mouth of the Mississippi river, running the gauntlet of the land batteries Into New' Orleans and compelling the surren . der of that city in 1862. Commodore Dewey’s second smell of powder and smoke was the last fight in which the Mississssippi engaged, in March, 1863, when the fleet tried to run the Con federate batteries at Port Huron. Several of the ships reached the narrow part of the channel, where they met the land ■batteries almost muzzle to muzzle, being forced to beat a hasty retreat. The day was a foggy one and amid the denseness of the fog and the smoke of battle the Mississippi lost her bearings and grounded on shore. A quick survey of her surroundings showed the officers that she had struck the shore almost in the mouth of the line of fortifications, which were the strongest and best along the shore, In an Instant the old sloop was riddled with 250 bullets. Her officers saw that she was a complete loss and. setting fire to her, they took to small boats and made shore on the other side of the river, OTYSTOTiIA.. Ths fss- /f LADIES’ FINE PARASOLS At cost.

Mr. Horne Has a Petition Directing Their Attention to the Paving on Mulberry and Third. The regular meeting of the city council was absolutely devoid of incident that would interest the public to any great ex tent. The paving question came up again in a mild form, but while it looked at first as if there might 'be a little flurry over it, the matter was settled very promptly. Mr. Henry Horne had a petition before council asking them to consider his peti tion for the paving of Third and Mulber ry streets with asphalt by the Southern Asphalt Company under th« bid made by them. The petition conveyed a number of sta tistics showing that an overwhelming ma jority of the property owners on these streets asked for asphalt in preference to any other material. There was no special request in the pe tition, but it was thought possible that council would take some action on the question of material for these two streets. '.Aiderman Pearson moved that the peti tion be filed in the clerk's office for future reference. Before a second was taken Al derman Williams asked that a vote be taken on the motion, and when it was pointed out 'by the mayor that a vote was about to be taken, Aiderman Williams, who had probably meant that he wanted a division so that the members of council might each go on record, subsided, and “the subsequent proceeding knew of him no more.” CONOBETE UNDER THE TRACKS. Tue city engineer had a communication before council last night that may bring out something interesting. 'He pointed out that the Consolidated Street Car Company, in doing its share of the paving on Fourth street, had failed to comply with the specifications calling for the laying of concrete, and, as a conse quence the street showed evidence of sink ing in places that had been done without the concrete. The engineer asked that council take some action in the matter so as to absolve the engineer from any blame in that con nection. The petition was referred to the com mittee on streets, and the action of coun cil at the next meeting will be of interest. TO IMIPROVE COLLEGE STREET. College street is the next of the resi dence streets to be improved. The work on Second street from 'Poplar to Boundary has been nearly completed, and when that is done the cemejit rock which has been used on that street, will be put down from one end of College street to the other. It is stated, however, by some of the res idents of College street that they will not allow this material to be used on their street without a fight. It has been the desire of the residents of College street to see that street laid with asphalt when the time comets and they wll try to get this material used. A petition asking for the removal of the telephone and street car poles from the soldewalk on Washington avenue .oppo site the (Baptist church, was referred to the committee on streets for a report at the next meeting of council. ROUTINE BUSINESS. The committee reported adversely on the petition of Mrs. Catherine Smith, of East 'Macon, asking for the removal of the street car tracks from the sidewalk to the center of the street in East (Macon, but the committee said they would give the ■matter their attention if any number of the property owners on the street asked for the removal of the tracks. The sidewalks o>n Second street from Poplar to Hazel were ordered laid next to the curb except in cases ‘where a change from this was found necessary by the city engineer. The sale of the property of delinquent ■tax payers who Tailed to redeem their property within the time specified by law, was ordered, and the city marshal was or dered to .proceed with the advertising of the property for sale tn the usual way. The list is a long one, and a large amount of property will be put on the market un less the property owners see fit to take advantage now of the opoprtunity that is offered them to avoid the payment of fur ther expenses attaching to the advertising of the property for sale. The petition of Mr. (Henry Horne for the proper grade of the sidewalk on Poplar street on the corner of Second, was grant ed, and the grade will be supplied by the engineer. This ended the business before council, which adjourned. The only member of council absent from his seat was Aiderman Winship, who is thought to have taken ad vantage of the permission given by coun cil at the- last meeting allowing any mem bers of council or officials to go to the war and guaranteeing their salaries while they were gone in defense of their coun try.

John Weaver, a negro prisoner who has been in the Bibb county jail some months for safe keeping, was taken out and car ried Ito Uipson county wher he will be tried. 'Weaver is charged for committing an assault upon 'the person of Miss Gunn, the daughter of 'a prominent citizen of Utpson county, and at the ttime the alleged assault took place it was a hard matter for the authorities to prevent a mob from lynch ng the negro. Sentiment is still high against him. 'but it is betlieved that he will be given a fair trial. TO ENLIST MEN. Floyd Rifles Will Send Out Two Sergeants to Get Recruits. .

BAZAR TO OPEN JULHOIffI. Pythians Will Open Their New Hall With the Greatest Fair Ever Seen Here. ’ CIRCUIAR TO MEMBERS. Contributions Are Asked for from All the Knights of Pythias in the City and Elsewhere in State. The Pythian Castle Fair will open in the new castle hall on July 4th, and will con tinue for a week. The letter given below is from the offi cers and directors of the Pythian Castle building association, and outlines the plans of the board for the fair. This will probably be one of the biggest ■bazaars ever held in the city and it will be made extremely attractive. The Pythians of the city are enthusias tic and the amount to supply the deficiency will be easily made up. The new building wilt be completed some time in June, and the bazar will be held on the third floor of the building where the magnificent hall of the 'Pythians will be situated. This will be by far the finest hall of the kind in the city and one of the finest in the state. Following is the letter that has been sent out: Dear Sir and Brother: Our Pythian Castle Hall is now nearing completion and owing to the fact that a great many of the members since making subscrip tions to the stock tour or five years ago, have died, moved from the city or their cirteujmstances have so changed that they could not mee't their obligations, we find that in the final settlement we will be from $2,500 to $3,500 short. The board of directors, at a meeting, unanimously de cided 'to open the castle hall on the 4th Os July with a fair, thereby making it profitable, as well as a gala occasion, and to ask each member to eon tribute some thing and solicit a subscription from their friends or people with (whom 'they deal, either in cash or merchandise, feeling as sured that every member of the order will be willing to do his share, and especially those who were not able themselves to subscribe to the capital stock. Every ar ticle contributed wil lhave the name of the contributor on it, therefore any of our out-of-'town friends who might contribute as an advertisement will not be disap pointed, as there will be a great many who will visit the fair and their goods will be before all of them, besides being appre ciated by the whole membership in Macon. We hope we -will have' the earnest co operation of every member of the order in the city. Yours, in F. C. and 8., T. J. CABLING, President. M. 'H. TAYLOR, Vice-President. W. J. BEelianid, Secretary and Treas. G. BERND, Jr., W. T. MORGAN, J. W. ROUNTREE, JOHN HARTZ, Directors. workTobegin WITHOUT DELAY. The Cheque for the Hospital Mortgage Was Paid in Yesterday. A long threatening has come at last and the mortgage on the (Hospital 'has been paid off. The cheque was signed yesterday after noon and 'the (Hospital is now' free from that incuimbrtance. Too much credit cannot be given in 'this connection to the finance committee of the Hospital and especially to IMr. IS. R. Jaques, who 'has worked hard and faith fully to secure the release of 'the institu tion from tihe debt in order that the (work of bui'ldimg itlhe Gresham memorial might commence at once. This work will be no longer delayed and Macon will soon have one of the most com pact hospital buildings in the South. The plans show a building about which there is no waste ornamentation, but whic'h will be a handsome structure. It 'will be very complete inside, 'however, and Mr. W. F. Denny, of Atlanta, who will do tihe work of superintending ardhitect free of any charge as his contribution to the /Hospital will provide the directors with the speci fications at once. The bids will then be advertised for and as soon as this is awarded the work will commence. It is probable that the work will be well under way inside of the next sixty days. The woman’s auxiliary of the Hospital will undenbake the interior 'furnishing of tihe Hospital. They (have done much hard work for itlhe 'institution and now that the building is actually to commence they will redouble their efforts and will leave no stone unturned, for it is their announced intention to make the interior fitting of the Hospital second to none in the state. Mr. Henry Horne <will undertake to get up an addition 'bo the Hospital in the shape of a colored 'ward or annex. This will cost about $1,500, ibut with his usual ,public spirit Mr. Horne says that he twill carry out tihe iwork rapidly and that with the help of the colored people of the city this amount 'Will be easily raiesd. The colored people of (Macon tare deeply interested in the institution as they recognize that has been to a very large number Os their race. FROM A DISTINGUISHED EDUCATOR.

Lift WITH THE MACON ARMY Busy Scenes Around All the Military Homes of the Fighting Comoanies. ABOUT EQUIPMENTS. The Hussars’ Armory Where the Recruiting is Going on, is a Busy Scene. It looks like real army life in the differ ent armories of Macon these days. The ‘"hay foot, straw toot’.’ squad are at work all the time and some of Che rawest of the recruits are ibeing hammered into shkupe ibut the sergeants and the lieuten ants. At all times of the day the new men are at work and every night 'the full compa nies of the enlisted men are drilling in the ranks and they are doing some hard work too. At the recruiting office on Poplar street Captain Bell is kept busy all the time en listing the imein who eome in ito go to the different companies. Alii of the officers to serve are Ibusy out on the streets enlisting men and urging others to join. A numlber have come in from a long dis tance iflor the ipuppose and the work of se curing desinalble men is not confined to Macon as some of the non-commissioned officers are out in dhe country and in South Georgia hunting for likely recruits. The three ,Maicon companies together will Carry oult .something like two 'hundred men and ifrom the looks of those w'ho are in the ranks at present not many of those who have (been enlisted so far iwill be re jected at the imediiaa)! examination. The taking away of (this numlber of men with the forces to the front will leave only the Macon Volunteers, .none of whom are at all likely Ito go, as a home guard. Os course the remnant of the companies will be organized and will be added to so as to make up as respectable a Showing as possible. The enlistment has 'been much heavier than the officers thought that it would, and now every company has as man’y as fifty men down w'ho will leave iMacon with Major Kernan’s battalion. Every new man has been assigned a locker and (provided with the proper ac coutrements, which will ibe used until the troops are ordered to the point of mobiliza tion, where the regulation uniform and improved equipment will be provided. Every uiian will leave IMlacon with his knapsack, haversack, canteen, Ibelt and side arms, legging, gun, blanket, iponcho and half of a tent. The companies will leave iMacon in campaign uniform land in heavy marching order. The extra weight than is carried iby each soldier in heavy marching order .is fifty-two pounds, but the new guns that will Ibe supplied will be about two pounds lighter than the Spring field rifles that are in use now. When the troops go to Chickamauga, or where they will be mobilized and mus tered in, they will be supplied with every thing that will be needed during the cam paign. Os course the equipment that they already have will be made to go as far as possible. One of the shelter tents was pitched in the armory yesterday so that the boys could see how it is done. There is one tent to every itwo men. Each one Carries hla'M of the tent and four tent pins and end of the poles. Captain IBell says that he will provide an annex to the tents for the men in the first four, as they are nearly twice as long as the tents. The carpplanifes are still enlisting men today, and it is expect ed that every one of them will leave the city with the full quota of men. The company officers say that they do not expect to have any men thrown out on the physical examination that will be made, unless they are absolutely unfit to go to the front. In North Carolina men are being examined at the rate of four hundred a day, and at that rate the ex amination could not be very severe. Following are the’names of the com pany officers of the First regiment, of which the Macon companies are members: Captains: Thomas N. Hopkins, Willie C. Davis, P. G. R. Bell, J. E. P. Stevens, R. E. Dart, Timothy O’Brien, A. J. Scott, Blanton Winshbp, Robert S. Melt, Patrick F. •Gleason, George W. Drummond. Firs.t Lieutenants: Miller G. White, Wil liam E. Sanders, Anthony W. Hale, George L.

Second Lieutenants: Robert R. Wylie, W. 11. Tucker, Charles B. White, Frank A. Dunn, Henry T. Mclntosh, Lacey D Mell, Jeremiah F- McCarthy, John F. Mal lery, George A. Robinson and Joseph E. McCant.
