As our annual day of rejoicing
approaches, Christian people should
not forget the orphans. When the
fioople assemble on that day to
thank God, let them thank him
with their substance. One of the
Institutions deserving of such re
membrance is the Thornwell Orphan
age, at Clinton, B. C. Although a
Presbyterian Institution, morethau
half its iumates are from othci de
nominations, Baptists, Methodists,
Lutherans and Episcopalians being
represented. Its children are from
ten different States, mainly of course
from South Carolina and Georgia.
These children deserve wed ot the
people. Thev cheerfully labor with
their hands to help themselves,
in kitchen, laundry, farm and else
where. Gifts of provisions, money,
pan all be used. As there is no
endowment to this Institution, it
depends on the charitable for sup
port. Rev. Wm. P. Jacobs is the
President. Send gifts to him, at
Clinton, S. C.
There are now nearly one hundred
orphans applying to this Institution
to be received'. What grand good,
liberal gifts won id do !

Louise Henry.
Mrs. Robt. II. Barron and son
of Macon, are spending some
with Mrs. Bichard Johnson.
Mrs. J.*C. Barron and

Miss Lois Johnson has
from a delightful visit to High

Col. Hardeman requests that

Misses Gertrude'and Mattie God

lassies, enjoyed the Park and it*
many attractions Saturday, in com
pany with our party.
Mrs. Penn, the accomplished
editress of the Jasper County Nows,
with Misses Maude and Mattie,
spent la*t Friday night with Mrs.
John Morgan, on route to the Fair.
We always find handsome, ser
viceable goods at the old reliable
Empire Store. This week they arc
advertising a splendid grade of
sheeting 10 quarters at SO els. per
yard- They keep on hand a first
class grade o? all wool dress goods,
table damask, hosiery, gloves, etc.
Ellis & Co., C52 Cherry Street,
Macon, arc offering seasonable bar
gains in blankets and under wear.
All their goods are cheap and war
ranted ‘ all wool and a yard wido.”
Wo advise any one visiting the
Central City to price Mr. Ellis’goods
before buying elsewhere. They
have many little needful notions.
Mr, Sam Barron carried off the
premium for the finest pen of Lambs
at the State Fair. Mr. J. Ii. Chiles
took 1st premiums on Scuthdown
Buck and Ewe. Miss Minnie II.
Barron got the blue ribbon for best
ribbon cm broidery, and Mr. Morri
son, of Bound Oak, took first pre

Hurrah for old J-ones!!!
Several young couples near Clin
ton have this month entered the
•‘matrimonial state.” Mr. Charlie
Cook and Miss Ida Stripling (daugh
ter of Mr. liowo Stripling) were
married on the 1st inst. Mr.
Charles Slocumb and Miss Sal lie
Summers on the 8th inst., and Mr.
Robert Roberts and Miss Willa
Christian also on the 1st. The lat
ter was a Gretna-Green affair and
was a surprise to all.
Dr. James F. Barron visited the
Fair several days and was delighted
with it all, especially the Hancock
County display. Ilo says in 1800
(near 80 years ago) his grandpa
rents, with a family ot eight sons
and five daughters, moved from
Hancock to Jones, his grandfather
thinking the land of Hancock worn
out and fearing tho family could not
bo supported by its products, and
now r m 1888 he sees the fine field,
garden and dairy products and ex
claims: “Life in the old land yet!”
Right proud is the good old gen
tleman that Hancock took the
81000.00 premium.
We spent two days at the Fair
and saw much to interest us. There
were the six and throc-leggod calves
of L. A. Baldwin of Talbot, tho mag
nifieent Hancock, Taibot, Sumter
and Houston counties display;
the fine fruit of J. H. M. Cliott, of
Powersville, Ga., who is one of the
greatest fruit treo growers in Geor
gia. He makes a specialty of the
LoConte and Keiffer pear and Chi
nese quince, and his prices arc by
comparison much lower than other
nurserymen. The flower display
of D. B. Woodruff on first floor of
Floral hall was tho most beautiful
our eyes over rested upon. The
many lovely designs and quantities
of birds and blossoms were grand.
Mr. Woodruff has one hundred an
seventy-fivo varieties of the chry
santhemum.' During our rounds
wo came across a quondam friend
and a once Clintonite, Chas. H. Red
ding, who was muchly expatiating
upon the merits of the “Planet
Junior plow.”
The candidates arc aflame
anxiety thin week in Atlanta.
There arc to be appointed it Judges
and 18 Solicitor Generals. By the
time this is read their agony will
bo over and the favored ones made
happy.
The Southern Cadets will return
from Augusta ih' : mo ■:dug flushed
with victory. They will stop in
Macon to receive congraf •.rations
and deposit their big prize, and will
then proceed to Columbus to pluck
fresh laurels.—Telegraph.

We took in the State Fair by a
large majority, enjoyed it hugely,
and pro: ounce 1 it a grand success.
J'he Agricultural display was
splendid—in fact there was a de
cided improvement to be seen in all
the different dsnartmeots.
----- ——.------
The people of every county that
made a display at the fair have just
cause for pride. Georgia is a great
fttatc and is full of groat counties.
Every year marks an improvement
in the agricultural methods and en
terprises of this Slate. The State
Agricultural Society under its pres
ent able management, has done
much to encourage this progress.
Next year wo shall have in Macon
one of the greatest of all Georgia
i airs.—Eastman J on vn al.
The president is quoted as having
said to a gentleman who talked with
him Monday that he felt fully war
ranted in reiterating his tariff re
form recommendation in bis. coming
message by the results of the late
election, which conclusively showed
that the people, including those in
the great manufacturing centers,
were in favor of tariff revision. At
(ho very least he thought, lie said,
that the election on tho whole was a
victory for tariff reform. lie
thought the Republicans would bo
shrewd enough to geo this and, fall
ing back from the high protection
position taken at Chicago, would
themselves revise and reduce the
tariff in the next Congress,—Macon
News.
THE DELINEATOR.
One’of the most popular fashion
monthlies of the times is tho Delin
eator published by tho Butleriek
Company at 7, 9, and 11 West 13th
St-, N, Y, Tor the benefit and in
struction of our loaders wo make
a few extracts from “Tho Work of
a Year" in the December 1838 num
ber. “Commencing this year with
a subscription list of 200,000 names
our list has increased with this is
sue to 220,000 copies with a proba
ble subsequent edition of 5000. To
day the Delineator has no rival; it
is tho accepted authority on all
matters within its sphere and its
ret dors arc found io every civilized
country and settlement. The same
able corps and designers will con
tinue through 1889. Fancy Work,
Social Life, Tea-table talks, House
hold Article, Book notes, Answers
to Correspondents will continue in
tho same interesting vein. Sub
scribers to the Delineator will do
us a favor if they will bring the
magazine, its contents and sub
scription price to the notice of their
friends and show them what can be
saved and gained by tho outlay of
One Dollar a Y ear.”

A week or two asro the
clo mentioned the.; fact that a dog
had boon sold in this region for
8500. It now makes the unnoun
cememt that Dr. R. I. Hampton
has sold his famous bitch Can-Can,
to a gentleman in Harrisburg, Pa.,
for $050, This is one of the finest
dogs ever seen in this country._
Alh ms Chronicle.
The republican organs now unite
in declaring that Gen. Harrison
will be his own boss; that ho will
sit at tho head of the table while
ho is President, just as Mr. Cleve
land has done. They have discov
ered very suddenly that Mr.
Cleveland has set a very good ex
ample for future Presidents.
While on an up-bound trip last
Saturday, via the Central, wo wero
joined at Griswoldville by that
polished gentlemen and universally
popular citizen of Jones county,
Mr, Jus, R. Van Enron. Jim is a
quondam friend of the writ er’s and
a man whom wo have cause to love
and admire. Ho owns and lives in
one of the mo d beautiful one pala
tial homes between Macon and
Savannah and ho and his live in
royal style. He soomed very proud
of, and had a heap to say of a
bright-eyed, bouncing boy he had
to Jus liouwo. Jim Van, is a good
one, and will do to bank on overy
lime. —Macon Telegraph.
Grandpa and Grandson.-—1 sec
that Tho Constitution mentions the
fact that Van Baron and Cleveland
arc the only two presidential can
didatos who huvo over boon defeat
ed,’' said Alton Angicr, assistant
passenger agent of tho Western
and Atlantic.
“Well, isn’t that true?”
“Perfectly correct. But there is
another fact in connection with that
bit of political history which should
bo printed,”
“What is it?”
‘.In 18-19 Martin Van Bnrcn wii3
a < ondidato for re-election to tho
presidency and was defeated by
“Tippocauoo” Harrison. In 1888
President Cleveland became a can
didate for re-election and tho grand
son of the Harrison who defeated
Van Burcn snows him under. It
is quite a coincidence, isn’t it? And
I guess the Harrison family are
mascots. If some of the men who
log) their money on Cleveland had
TTioIfgilt at oui this two weeks ago,
they would be richer by a good
many dollars,’’
