Our youth are receiving from the
commencement exercises an inspira

not, be wholly lost.
An old farmer remarked in our

not remember to have ever seen so
much rain in the month of June.
This number ends the fifty-sixth
volume of the Federal Union' and

M. L. Byington will sell you lum
ber for less money than anybody. Just
go to his mill and see him make it,
and you will say I do not wonder at
it, if it was me I would give it away
just to see the mill run. 4512ts.
Mr. S. E. Whitaker, and Mr. J. C.
Whitaker are heavy lossers by the
freshet. The river bottom on which
they each usually make from 1500 to
2000 bushels of corn, was overflowed
and their corn ruiped. Messrs. Joe
Tucker, Havgood, Ennis and others
who plant on the river have also lost
portions of their crop.
Mr. Thomas White, of the firm of
White A Treanor it building a house
on the corner of Ciarke and Montgom
ery streets, a little north of the Epis
copal parsonage. It has the frame
and chimneys up, and bids fair to
make a neat and comfortable resi
dence of about five rooms, and very
well adapted for the occupancy of a
small family.
We observe that the street contrac
tor is adopting in some places the
plan of raising the sidewalks to be
high in the middle and sloping down
wards to each side. This gives a dry
place for pedestrians In the middle of
the walk, and will in our judgment re
quire much less work to keep the
walk in order. When the walk is so
shaped there can never so much wa
ter gather during heavy rains to wash
away the dressing of sand that is plac
ed ^n the surface.
The Storm in Baldwin.
On Wednesday last it rained with
but a little cessation during all the
afternoon, and throughout the whole
of the night following the rain de
scended in torrents. There was a
very hard wind also from the East
ward most of the night and when
morning came, the result was seen in
a number of trees broken dow r n or
uprooted, and we believe a good deal
of fencing was also prostrated. The
river overflowed its banks and on
Friday was within eighteen inches of
the height of the flood of several
weeks ago and that was but little be
low the mark of the great Harrison
freshet. The effect of this great
storm has been most disastrous upon
the land and crops of our farmers.
On the fine river low grounds espec
ially where the owners had already
had two young growing crops destroy
ed by the preceeding freshets and had
with commendable pluck and energy
replanted their rich and productive
land, their hopes have again been
blasted, and now it is too late to put
in another crop. The long continued
and heavy rains of June and these
successive and destructive floods in
our river are unprecedented in the
memory of any oul* old and experien
ced farmers whom we have yet seen.
The damages are great and distressing
to contemplate.
THE STORM, RAIL-ROADS, &C.
The recent great floods of water
have been very damaging to several
of our rail-roads: the Central having
suffered from the washing out of an
important trestle not far above
Toombsboro and also from the wash
ing aw r ay of its track a little below
Gordon. Several washouts are re
ported also between Davisboro and
Tennille. The regular running of the
trains -was suspended and as we write
Friday afternoon, it is a matter of
hope but not of certainty that the
trains may have resumed their regu
lar running to-day. The Macon &
Covington R. R. had a new bridge
over the Ocmulgee, intended to be us
ed in building the permanent iron
bridge ; washed away. The E. T.
V. & G. Rail-road also suffered severe
ly betw een Macon & Cochran and the
running of trains was stopped. The
probable length of the stoppage was
seemingly unknown to the Macon
Telegraph, from which paper w r e gath
er most of the above facts. That pa
per also has a telegram from Ameri-
cus which reports the heaviest rain
that has fallen there for years, the
washing away of milldains, &c., and
great damage to the track of the
Americus, Preston and Lumpkin
Railroad and the stoppage of trains
on that road for several days to come.
The Telegraph also has a long list of
damage done in Macon, by - the blow
ing dow r n of cliimnies, trees, &c., by
the heavy wind. Doubtless we shall
hear of much further injury done by
this great summer storm in other por
tions of the State.
Confidential.—We will take the
ladies intojour confidence and freely
admit that we have more White
Goods than v r e are able to carry. You
can buy White Goods at your own
price at

been offered before. We are determined that all the
Damaged Goods Shall he Disposed Ofl

as if they had never been wet. Everything

TO COUNTRY
$5,000 Worth of HATS!
Messers. W. W. Lumpkin and Ed
Treanor, have formed a copartner
ship, for the pnrpose of doing a bro
kerage business. They will fit up an
office in the Treanor building, on
Hancock st, that will be handsome
and first class in all its appointments
—will employ a competent young
man to stay regularly, to keep books
of the firm and give prices. These
gentlemen will work up a large and
lucrative business in their line, if
energy, business ability and clever
ness, be potent factors.
We, the committee, representing
the Business Union of Milledgeville,
respectfully urge upon the city au
thorities that they procure such
amendment to the Charter as w ill se

Death of a Good Colored Citi
zen.—July DeSauseaure, an aged res*
ident of this city and a minister of the
Colored Methodist Church South, di
ed at his residence on Monday the
21st inst., after a long season of bad
health. He was during slavery times
a trusted and esteemed servant of the
late Col. David C. Campbell, of this
place, and as long as he lived he re
tained and manifested his affection
for the children of his former master;
a feeling of regard which was recipro
cated by them. He was a man much
above the average of his race in intel
ligence and good judgment and we
never heard of his using these endow-
ments for any other than good purpo
ses. The last time he came from his
home in the suburbs down into the
business part of our city w as on the
day when he cast his vote at the polls
in favor of prohibition. He was
probably about eighty years of age
and was buried in our cemetery, his
remains having been attended by a
large concourse of his people to their
last resting place.
