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 ! Covington & Macon R. R.

Mrs. Robt. II. Barron and son of Macon, are spending some with Mrs. Bichard Johnson. Mrs. J.*C. Barron and Joe returned on last Friday from visit to the Mormer'sj parents Alabama, Miss Lois Johnson has from a delightful visit to High Shoals. While absent she the Athens Fair. Col. Hardeman requests that oil drawn map of tho“Jamcs plat of lands be returned to him. It was borrowed from him the day of the sale. Misses Gertrude'and Mattie God dard, two bright and attractive 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 mium for held; Georgia-made chair. 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. -- • —— acjfc ’ - . m i. — — 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.

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?
