It was here he passed the happy days of youth a Ad man hood up to middle life. In his last illness his thoughts Avent back to those days, and lie talked a great deal of Milledgeville and his early friends, most of Avhom preceded him to the grave. Before the war he had a fine prop erty ; was a gentleman of leisure, and possessed the high social qualities for which southern men of Avealth were noted in ante bellum days. With a bright intellect, kind and genial dis position, he Avas an agreeable compan ion and a true and valued friend. In all the relations of life he Avas honor able and high-toned in his dealings with his fellow-men. He never mar ried, but the memory of ‘uncle Joe’s’ unselfish life Avill long be cherished by loving kindred,and friends through out the state will mourn liis depart- THE CHILDREN’S Sunday School Union Picnic. ure. ‘‘Childhood!—happiest, stage of life: ree from care auU free from strife, "'ken sticks of pepperment possest A sceptre's power to sway the breast, And Heaven was round us as we fed On sweet ambrosial ginger bread.” To one who has weathered the storms of many winters, Avhose heart, though battered and Avorn, is not en tirely seared by that infallible caute- ry, an uneasy, guilty conscience, and Avho still admiring all the lovely and beautiful in God’s creation, is tempt ed to “lift his heart from nature up to nature’s God,” there is nothing more SAveet or enjoyable than the merry, gleeful romps of children, when turn ed loose and relieved from all re straints of school and the convention alities of society, to give themselves up to a Avliole dav of unalloyed en joyment. Such was thp occasion of the picnic given to the children, pupils of the various Sunday Schools in Milledge ville on yesterday. From early morning till 10 o’clock, the principal streets were gay and iistir with the rustle of starched mus lin, the flutter of ribbons, the twirling of bright colored parasols of the little Misses from four to sixteen, Avitii a dashing, here and there, of the grey uniforms, glittering buttons and chev- rons of the young cadets, and manly and active forms of other gallant boys and young men, till by Avagon, buggy, carriage, omnibus, herdic, and on foot, a stream of living freight—pre cious freight—Avas seen pouring out the street toward ‘Carrington’s grove’, which, with such waving of handker chiefs, smiling faces, fluttering fans, and merry, ringing mirth-provoking laughter of happy, happy children, made a soul-inspiring sight that would cause old hearts most truly to appre ciate the sentiment of that good old song : “Ob would I were a boy again, When life seemed formed of sunny years, And all the heart then knew of pain, Was swept away with transient tears.” After dinner, the same sports Avere resumed, until late in the afternoon, Avhen they returned in the same con veyances, and as they came, in open wagons, rattling through the streets, packed in as thick as sardines in Bhx—waving hats, hands, handker chiefs, fans and fairly making the welkin ring with long continued, deafening shouts of merry glee, it Avas evident that the occasion had been one, long to be remembered, and Avas eminently a complete success. And each and all were indeed for one day, at least, made happy, but none more so than your humble servant, “C. Sharp.” May 22d, 1886. Change of Schedule For New Guage.

On the morning 21st it registered 32 ft. and one inch and Avas rising still.

A large croAvd began to gather at 9, and before 11 the church Avas filled. The opening song, “Glory to GocVm the Highest", by the choir, was Avell rendered. Prayer by the school, followed by a song. _ Master i Tatum Harper recited “A chip of the old block,” and was Avarmly cheered. Miss Mattie MyrickgaA T e us “Daisy’s Offering,” in a clear sweet voice. Miss Jennie BroAvn read “Under His wing” well and touchingly. Ben D. Myrick, “Psalm of Life.” He spoke well, and Ave saAV a future orator, if he will press on. (I understand he is a cous in of the late Senator Hill.) Miss Mamie Harper read “An Answer”, a sweet little gem from the Woman’s Mis. Ad\’ocate. Little Marion Gibson, “A Avish” Avas well spoken for so small a boy. He avus cheered rousingly. Walter Green came next in a prohibi tion speech, and did exceedingly well. Miss Julia Minor, SAveet as the fra grant AA'ild rose, modestly, beautifully, spoke, “Only a blade of Avheat.” She Avas so avinning as she brought her offering that I thought of Ruth of old as she stood gleaning Avlieat. Several beautiful songs Avere sung, and the crowd Avas invited, to a banquet spread on tables in the rear of the church. Everybody seemed to enjoy the occasion, and ice lemonade flowed freely. In the afternoon Ave had some tine music and singing. A gathering cloud hurried the croAvd home, and many took refuge from the fierce Avinds in out houses, negro cabins, &c., none, hoAvever Avere hurt. On Sunday, after an able sermon by Rev. T. H. Gibson, the W. F. M. Soci ety held its monthly meeting. Miss Julia Minor read Miss Haygood’si let ter to the Society, while the little missionary buckets were opened and contents counted, amounting in all to $14.28. Miss Jennie Brown will re ceive the prize for the largest amount obtained. Mrs. E. Z. Brown is still very ill. A fine rain at this place, and farm ers setting out potato slips. Mr. Harrison says he did not get the capital prize, but he thinks Dr. R. G. Harper and Mr. E. Z. Brown shared it. Among the A'isitors this Aveek are Messrs. John and George Hudson, and Mrs. Alien from Eatonton, and Miss Mary Sue Barksdale and sisters, and several cadets from Milledgeville. E. The Four New Bishops.

The new bishops avIio were ordain ed at Richmond Thursday have long been regarded as bright and shining lights in Southern Methodism. The Rev. Dr. William Wallace Dun can is a native of Virginia, and is now forty-seven years old. He is president of Wofford college, at Spartanburg, S. C., and -is considered' one of the ablest ministers in the church. The Rev. Dr. Eugene Russell Hen drix was born in Missouri in 1847. He accompanied the late Bishop Marvin in his tour around the world. For several years he has been president of Central college, Missouri. The Rev. Dr. Charles B. Galloway is a native of Mississippi, and for the past four years lias been editor of the New Orleans Christian Advocate. He is a young man of about thirty-seven. The Rev. Dr. Joseph S. Key is a Georgian. He graduated at Emory college in 1848, and has been engaged in pastorial Avork since that time, be ing noAv stationed at the First Metho dist church in Columbus. He is a man of distinguished learning and pi ety, and his elevation to the college of bishops is highly gratifying to the methodists of Georgia. .
