The Cadet Bon Ton Glee Club had a pleasant Dance at Amusement Hall last Friday evening. Mr. A. D. Nisbet, agent C. R. R-, sold ninety-five tickets for last bun- day morning’s train for Savannah. The Young Men s Prohibition Club will meet to-night (Tuesday) and after that time the first Tuesday night in each month. The Justices of the Peace appoin ted to re-count the vote in the contest ed election case met last Thursday and adjourned to the 12tli inst. The protracted meeting at the Meth odist church came to a close last Fri- dav night. Six persons Avere received into the Methodist church last Sun day.

A Union Missionary meeting -was held at the Presbyterian church last Sunday night. Addresses were made by Rev. A. J. Beck, Rev. J. D. Haui- mand and Rev. D. McQueen. The very cool weather for several days past* is nothin!: strange to old technological school. The members of the commission, ap pointed by the Governor to select a proper location for this institution, are doubtless carefully gathering the information necessary to enable them to discharge that duty wisely and faithfully. In compliance with the law, they will undoubtedly, as .has been heretofore stated, fix upon that locality which, other things being equal, will offer the best inducements in the way of material aid, such as property or money. Any community that proposes, in plain language, to bid for it, should prepare at once to make known what it can afford to of fer to bring this valuable institution within its borders. The benefits it would confer are too obvious to re quire ipecial elaboration or comment in this article. Are our people suffi ciently conscious of the emergeney. which is upon them? Are they ready to take such action as may be necess ary to present the claims of Miiledge- ville fairly before the commission? Something should be done and that without delay in this matter or other wise the whole matter w r ill go by de fault. The school is surely worth the making of some effort to obtain it and our central, healthful location and the kindly feeling which yet lingers among the people of the State for the “old capital” should—and doubtless would count for something, in fixing upon a location for the school. Death of Mr. A. W. Martin. Mr. Archibald W. Martin was bom in Hancock county on the 12tli of March, 1810, and departed this life, in this city, on the 27th of April, 1886- his pilgrimage on earth being seventy six years, one month, and fifteen days. His parents moved to this city when he was about ten years of age, and his youth and early manhood was passed here. His mother, who, after the death of his father, married Capt. Win. F. Scott, kept the LaFay- ette Hall for a number of years, and had charge of this noted hostelry in 1825, when General LaFayette visited this city. Mr. Martin was a soldier in the Florida Indian war, and after wards settled in Macon. He spent portions of his life in Forsyth, Ameri cas and Gwinnett county ; and after the late war, lived for some years with a son in Texas, finally returning to the home of his youth, to close his long and somewhat eventful life.

Hall, caught out of his mill pond last Aveek, three carps, the largest of which weighed fourteen pounds. Carp, very small in size, were put in the pond about three years ago, and Mr. Hall is of the opin ion that they breed very much faster than any other fish in this section. The pond is well stocked with other fish of various kinds. The Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation of Savannah, cordially wel come all strangers in their city during the celebration of the Centennial of the Chatham Artillery, to their Asso ciation rooms, No. 118 Congress street. They have appointed committees for depots, trains, hotels and boarding houses and will show' kind attention to visitors. We hope our boys will give them a call. At a regular meeting of the Business Fnion, held on the 26th ult., the fol lowing officers, were elected for the ensuing quarter : Joseph Staley, pres ident ; J. W. McMillan, 1st vice-presi dent ; G. T. Whilden, 2d vice-presi dent ; G. B. Goetchius, secretary and treasurer. This organization is doing much to keep up the spirit of enter prise and progress in our good old town. Concert of action and harmo nious work will bring the best results. Union gives strength. results of the war, but lost three noble sons, killed in battle. His youngest daughter married Mr. H. V. Sanford, of this city, and for the past few years his home has been with them. His son, Mr. Robt. Martin of Eatonton, was with him in his last brief illness. His funeral took place from the Meth odist church (of whieti he was a mem ber) on Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock—Rev. J. D. Hammond offici ating. The pall-bearers were Dr. T. O. Powell, Col. R. L. Hunter, Messrs. W. T. Conn, B. F. Denton, M. Hines, and J. N. Moore. Mr. Martin received in his youth all the advantages of education that the country afforded. He possessed a high sense of honor, and all the warm and generous impulses for which wealthy Southern men have been noted. In his latter years he found in religion a solace for his losses and disappointments, and learned patience under the tender and softening influ ences of the Holy Spirit. He w r as fond of reading and spent much of his time in our sanctum. We shall miss him sadly. We enjoyed his spir ited conversation. We were pleased to hear him talk of old time incidents in the history of our totvn, and watch the flash of his eye, and hear his sometimes hearty laugh. Only a few of the companions of his youth are left. God bless our old men.
