In order to take part in the Memo

than usual, yesterday.
Our streets presented a holiday ap-
nearance yesterday. Business was
‘aid aside and our people united m
honoring our heroic dead.

Easter Sunday.
St. Stephen’s Episcopal church was
beautifully decorated and impressive
services were held by the rector, Rev.
R. W. Anderson. The attendance
was large.
Services were also held at the Cath
olic church.
At the Methodist church, Rev. J.
D. Hammond preached an earnest
and eloquent sermon to a large con
gregation from the text: “Now is
Christ risen from the dead and be
come the first fruits of them that
slept.” Pretty% fresh flowers were
arranged with much taste about the
altar, and above the organ, in white
letters on a crimson ground appeared
the words, “Christ is risen.”

Fanners from several of the adja
cent counties are now coming to Mil-
Vdgeville to buy goods. Our mer
chants like to see them, and will sell
-hem cheap goods and treat them \sell
whenever they come.
It is to be hoped the elections in
Baldwin county this year will not be
■ilowed to interfere with the business
boom upon which our good city en
tered the past winter. Politics pay
onlv a few men; strict attention to
business will pay everybody.
On last Fridav the young ladies Lit
erary Society of our College gave an
entertainment, consisting of recita
tions. music, and a charade. The
attendance was very good, and the
entertainment creditable to the young
ladies. ,
The contract for re-covering the cen
ter building of the Lunatic Asylum
has been let to Messrs J. A. Orme &
Co. of Macon, who -were the .lowest
bidders. It will be covered with the
best tin. The last legislature appro
priated $3000 for this purpose.
Mr. Yoel Joel, Treasurer, received
on Tuesday last, a check for three
thousand dollars, payable to Mrs.
Dixie Havgood, on account of Insur
ance by lier husband in the Royal Ar
canum. This order is in good condi
tion and meets all its obligations
promptly. Mr. Havgood was a mem
oerof the order for four years and
paid for assessments and dues only’
$76.80.
Judge Sanford is having the old
and decayed trees on the Court House
square cut down. We suggest that
pecan trees be planted to take their
places. They are useful as well as
ornamental, and in after years, when
they bear fruit, would add another
cause for holding in grateful remem
brance our worthy Ordinary
New iron fencing is on the ground
and will be put up soon. Our new’

Adolph Joseph, of Milledgeville an
nounces the opening of his enormous
stock of spring clothing. He is carry
ing one of the largest and most ele-
gant stocks he has ever had, and you
may know it is something hard to beat.
The store presents a most gorgeous
appearance, and is worth a visit just
to see. Polite and affable clerks take
pleasure in showing you everything,
whether you are a purchaser or not.
Then their prices are as low as reliable
goods can be sold anywhere.—Irwin

A little negro boy 9 or 10 years of
age, shot and killed a child about 2
years old, last Thursday afternoon,
on Mr. Iiobt. Chandler’s place in this
county. Coroner Scott went out last
Friday and held an inquest. It seems
the boy was left to mind the child,
and in 'the absence of his mother he
got possession of his father’s pistol,
which was kept under the mattrass,
and it is believed, from the best evi
dence that could be obtained, that
the shooting was accidental. Here is
another warning against the careless
disposition of the too numerous nis-
tols. 1
In the Macon Telegraph of 21st inst.,
a Milledgeville correspondent stated
that two negro children in this city
fought and one hit the other on the
-lead with a plank that had a nail in
it, “which caused death.' 5 We are
glad to state that there was no fight
and that the larger child threw a piece
of plank out of the door for the pur
pose of splitting it into the kindling
wood, and it accidently struck the
child on the head. A nail as above
mentioned, that wa* sticking in the
plank, penetrated the child’s brain.
I he latter fact however
known until eleven days
when the child was taken
vulsions and soon died.
The following good joke on one of
our best citizens and most earnest
prohibitionists, is told bv one of his
neighbors. At a fish-fry k this coun ,
-y, c-ake and wine formed a part of
the supplies for the inner man. The
gentleman in question paid no atten ;
hon to the glass of wine before him
until his friends, who were on the i
watch, began to think that he was
r; °t going to drink any 7 . At last how-
r.i] 1 ' K e raised the glass and saying,
Here s wishing Washington may go
:lr y. the wine disappeared in short
order. The sentiment and the accom-
paiiying act, created a most hearty
‘Vgh from the crowd. This was a day
i two before the prohibition election
came off in Washington county.
Yesterday being the day observed
generally in the South to do honor to
the memory of those who devoted
their lives to the support of the “lost
cause” as it is so appropriately called,
the cause which still is believed to
have been just and worthy of the sac
rifices made to sustain it, the usual
ceremonies were duly carried out.
There was however no address deliv
ered, as has invariably been the case
heretofore, and we note that our fel
low-citizens of Macon have this year
adopted the same course. While an
address may not be essential every
y’ear to the proper observance of the
day, we should at short intervals, as
the y*ears roll by, have a proper expo
sition on these occasions of the right
eous causes which moved the people
of the South, almost as one man, to
take up arms and for four long years
carry on the most heroic struggle of
modern times, to sustain the Confed
erate government, which they had es
tablished for the preservation of their
rights and their honor. The succes
sive generations as they’ appear on the
stage of active life, should be taught
that we were no mere rebels against a
good government, but patriots, con
tending for rights given us, by the
constitution of our country, which
w ere withheld by the stronger section.
At 4 o’clock, p. m., according to the
published programme, the proces
sion was formed by W. W. Lumkin,
Esq., Marshal of the day, on Greene
street, north of the college campus
in the folly’wing order:
1st. Volunteer companies of this
county, together w’ith the college
Cadet's.
2nd. Veterans of the late war.
3rd. Cityjofflcials and ministers.
4th. Ladies’ association.
5th. College classes.
6th. Citizens.
Having marched to the cemetery,
prayer and singing at the Soldiers’
monument formed the first part of the
ceremonial, then salutes w r ere fired at
the Soldiers’ Monument, and at the
graves of Gen’l. Doles, and Capt. B.
R. Herty. The large crowd of people
from the county and city then dis

Spring Time has Come and ■with it
P. J. CLIME & CO.,
Have Brought out Everything Bright, New, Pretty and Stylish in the way of
GOOD 01
We have always endeavored to please the ladies, and THIS TIME
we feel confident that we have filled the bill to the letter. Mr.
Lyons, of the firm of Lyons <fc Cline, -was in New York nearl} 7 two
months, and there is nothing cheap, stylish or pretty, that escapes
him and he carries the cash and he knows a bargain when lie sees
it. He bought for the three stores, Macon, Milledgeville and Griffin,
and nearly everything direct from the factories, with no middle man
to get a profit, and he has bought a good many Job lots, some of
them for less than one-half their value. We have marked them all
down very low, and will give cur customers the benefit of them.
We will quote some of our prices—would quote them all if w’e had
the space, and the cash will buy them at exactly the prices named:
200 pieces Spring Calicoes, good colors, for 3£c.
100 pieces Satteen Prints, silk finish, for 6fc.
2,000 yards heavy unbleached Homespun, yard, wide, for 5c.
2,000 yds Bleached Homespun, 1 yard wide, for 6£c.
3,000 yds of the nicest soft finish Bleaching in the market, at 8c.

away from earth.
The Soldiers’ Monument was beauti
fully adorned with Magnolia
and flowers, the work of our ladies
who never fail to do their full share
and more, of the necessary work on
these occasions. Flowers were plen
tiful and liberally used and vigilant
care was exercised to prevent any
graves of the departed heroes from
being neglected. Finally, as night
approached, the crowd dispersed and
the honored dead were left to their
customary solitary and dreamless
sleep.
Long may it be before the memory
of our heroic dead shall fade from the
minds of our people.
100 dozen ladies’ Lisle Thread Hose, in solid colors and black, for
25c, worth 00c. This is one of our Job lots, and another one of our
