In order to take part in the Memo rial Ercrcises we went to press earlier than usual, yesterday. Our streets presented a holiday ap- nearance yesterday. Business was ‘aid aside and our people united m honoring our heroic dead. We are glad to have items of inter- , s r from all sections of our county, but *he name of the writer, must accom pany all communications to receive attention. >f the latest stvles, all 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.” IPRIMfi BLAST! memorial DAY. •suckers at l2Ac and •he go. for ladies' dresses :5c, at H. Adler’s. 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’ •ourt house, when completed, will be ('lie of the handsomest in the State. 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 ton Southerner. 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 persed to adorn with flowers the graves of those soldiers, who none the less heroically than their superior of ficers, gave their lives lor their coun- I trv or have since the w’ar been called Spring Time has Come and ■with it P.

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.
