OUR COLLEGE.
There isn’t a doubt that the people
of Milledgeville place a high value on
our college. When it was established,
there were, no doubt, many who had
but little confidence in its success and
stability. But for six years, it has
gone forward, gathering'strength and
overcoming the various difficulties
and troubles which have assailed it
and bestowed the blessings of a free
education on many children who but
for its existence would have gone
through life burdened with ignorance
and cut off in a great measure from a
chance to secure the higher prizes of
this life to which only the educated
could attain. It would be hard to es
timate the value of the blessings be
stowed by this college on many who,
having obtained all the knowledge it
could bestow, are now engaged in the
battle of life with excellent prospects
of gaining its most valuable prizes.
As time has passed, its facilities for
fulfilling its mission have improved
and now with a distinguished and a-
ble President, whose past history
makes his name a great attraction of
itself to bring pupils from a distance,
supported by a corps of teachers whose
capabilities as instructors have con
tinually increased with the experience
which each year’s labor has added,
the college is in a condition to do bet
ter work than it has ever done and is
more worthy of patronage and sup
port. .
But with this most satisfactory state
of its affairs, there is a very serious
trouble threatening the usef ulness of
the college, if not its existence. The
city of Milledgeville lias contributed
$2,000 annually to the support of this
institution. The money has been
raised almost entirely by the sale of
land belonging to the city. The land,
however, has been about all sold and
the question arises, how shall this sum
be raised in the future? Without
Milledgeville's contribution, tlie col
lege cannot be sustained. This is a
serious question for onr people to con
sider and it should be taken in hand at
once and a solution of the difficulty
arrived at as soon as possible.** For
ourselves we must say, we see no way
of raising the money except by taxa
tion. Tlie benefit to the town derived
from it is far above the value of the
money to be raised.
Let our people consult with each
other about this matter and try and
arrive at the wisest and best solution
of this difficulty which stares us in
the face.

When applied promptly, the sense of
relief is magical. It seems to with

P. J. CLINE & CO’S
Base Ball.—A week ago to-day
:he clerks of P. J. Cine & Co., with
■he help of one from A. Joseph’s force,
layed a game of base ball in the
North west portion of the college
tampus against the combined forces
?T. L. McComb & Co. and Haygood
iCaraker. The game excited no lit
he interest among the friends of the
Joung men and a number of the fair
hx were among the crowd of specta
tors. The game we suppose was quite
an exciting one and resulted in a vic
tory for the young men from Cline &
Co's establishment by a score of 14 to
>. Capt. Haygood and Mr, C. T.
araker participated in the game on
he side of their clerks.
As tlie developments of the canvass
t the high office of Governor of
eorgia. seem to point with more
rreliability to the final result; it is
act improper, we think,to refer again
'o the exceptional position of our own
ountv in tlie matter. There seems
ao doubt that the timely and able as
sistance of Maj. Bacon, more than
I nee, at a time when important inter-
I'Ms of our town and county were in
‘-’reat jeopardy in the State legislature,
■lad an important influence in secur
ing the object for which we were la
boring. Those of our people who
*ere informed of these facts have al
ways felt that we owed Mr. Bacon
lelit * of gratitude which we ought
v urely to pay, should the opportunity
yver present itself. That opportunity
- s now presented to us and the grace
ful and grateful thing for Baldwin
' ounty to do, it would seem, is to send
bacon delegates to the gubernatorial
convention. And this we can do
"bile utterly disclaiming anv sym
pathy with the campaign of slander
Much is being waged against Gen
'onion. Many of our citizens will
doubtless vote for Bacon, while re
potting that duty requires them to
• .-niingly ignore tlie claims of his no-
antagonist.
TO COUNTRY
We have had an immense crowd for the last week, and the rush still
continues, and we are giving the people bargains that they have never
been offered before. We are determined that all the
Damaged Goods Shall he Disposed 0FI
We have a great many more of them left, and we will continue the
sale, and at such prices as they are obliged to go; while their being dam
aged injures the sale of them, the value to the purchaser is almost as good
as if they had never been wet. Everything
and will be sold for the Cash and Cash only.
