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. Cut Prices.—White Goods at al most your own price at 51 2t ^ W. H. Carr s. Common baking soda is the best of all remedies in cases of scalds and burns. I may be used on the surface of the burned place either dry or wet. When applied promptly, the sense of relief is magical. It seems to with draw the heat and with it the pain, and the healing process soon commen ces. ^ Confidential.—We will take the ladies intoTour confidence and freely admit that* we have more White Goods than we are able to carry. You can buy White Goods at your own price at _ _ , 51 ot] W. H. Carr’s. ■AT— 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. MERCHANTS. We have many lines of Goods— that you cannot duplicate else where in price or quality. Send for Quotations. $5,000 Worth of HATS! We have bought out a firm’s entire stock of men’s and boys’ Hats at Twenty-1 ive cents on the dollar, and we will sell you a hat at less than half the price you can buy them anywhere. We have a sample of each kind on one of the center counters, marked in plant figures and we will sell them in solid cases to merchants and at retail. Come and see them? we can show you more hats, and cheaper hats, than you ever saw in Milledgeville before. ADOLPH JOSEPH. Milledgeville, Ga,, June 14th 188G.
