OUR AUGUSTA LETTER.
Augusta, Ga., July 9th, 188(5.
Editors Union-Recorder:
Augusta mourns the loss of Paul
Jiayne, the cultured gentleman, the
ripe scholar, the poet of our own
Southland. His spirit has crossed the
borderline between time and eternity,
is now at rest in the “Summer Land
of Song.'’ The spirit that so often
“breathed the smell of wood and
grove” is now' attuned to divine har
mony. He has laid dow r n the cross,
and now wears the crown. Augusta
claimed him as her own. We delight
ed to do him honor while living, and
we shall reverence his memory now
that lie is dead. His body lies instate
in the old, historic St. Paul s, but, at
the reauest of his family, the remains
are not 'visited by the public. The
funeral services will Ije conducted oy
.Bishop Beckwith next Sunday after
noon at live o’clock, when the City
Council and the Hayne Circle will at
tend as an escort of honor. The City
has donated a lot in our beautiful
cemetery for the interment of the re-
inent, and that the Almighty does
not intend that man should meddle
with it. ’Strange idea. At any rate,
it is my opinion that in cities the elec
tric wires should be placed under
ground. Aside from the danger caus
ed by attraction, the) poles are un
sightly objects, and mar the beauty
of a city’s streets. /itrmnv

The Houghton Institute
mencement is pronounced by
to be a most brilliant success,
spoken of as tlie finest entertainment
of the kind ever given in Augusta.
The Masonic Theatre was densely
packed “from pit to dome,” standing
room even being in demand. The
first honor medal in the graduating
class was won by Miss Grove Denning,
one of the brightest young ladies in
our city. She was closely followed
in the year’s contest by ’Miss Annie
Killinsworth, Miss Bessie Wiggins,
Miss Annie Laffitte, and Miss Lizzie
Greene, who no doubt w.ould have ti
ed ■with her if sickness had not inter
rupted their attendance. The display
of elocutionary power by Willlie and
Dickie Puryear was simply wonder
ful. These two little girls took the
audience 1>\ storm in their rendition
of “The Fall of the Pemberton Mill”
and “Briar Rose.” I heard a promi
nent public man, and a regular Thea
tre goer say that he had never heard
a professional surpass, if equal them.
Master John Pierson was awarded the
medal for elocution -in the Male
School. Masters Lin Shecut, Mortie
Johnson, and Joe Hahn captivated
the audience with their splendid
speeches. The ‘Seaside Mystery” met
w ith a most battering endorsement,
for which the author is profoundly
grateful. The Houghton Institute is
under many obligations to Mr. San
ford H. Cohen, the Manager of the
Theatre, for his many acts of kind
ness to the school during its closing
exercises. He has certainly endeared
liimself to the Principal and his pu
pils. and the Institute w’ill always
number him among its many warm
friends.
At a recent meeting of the Trustees
of the Richmond Academy, Dr. J. A.
A West, was elected Principal over
Col. Rains, and Mr. Ganahl. a young
gentlemen, elected to Prof. With
row’s Department. Col. Rains and
Prof. Ransom declined to serve under
Dr. West, and immediately resigned.
This action of the Trustees has caus
ed great dissatisfaction among the
patrons of the school, and is freely
discussed on the streets, No cause
lias been assigned for the change in
the management of the Academy, and
the public are at a loss to understand
the reason for it. All the gentlemen
above named are faithful and compe
tent instructors, and it is hoped that
some steps w ill be taken to reconcile
all differences, and re-establish the
Academy in the confidence of the
neople. It is understood that the
Board of Education will be appealed
to, to establish a high *school for
boys. This however, is mere rumor.
Prof. Withrow will open a private
school in October.
The w eavers in the King Mill went
out on a strike last Monday, and left
266 looms idle. A man w’as discharg
ed; no one else would take his place;
and as the looms were fed by the dis
charged hand they could not be work
ed. The operatives, however, do not
call it a strike. The Directors of the
King Mill met and advanced the
wages of operatives ten per cent for

OFFICE OF )
L. P. Grant Park Commissioners,
11 East Alabama Street. )
Atlanta, Ga., July 7 th, 1886.
Dear Sir:—I hope some day
erect in our new park, (which I desire
to be a park for the State as
for the city,) a reduced copy of the
old, historical “State House,’ at.Mii-
ledgeville. This will be in sight of
the new capitol building—the struc
ture to be an exact copy of the origi-
nal (in miniature) of the exterior, the
interior, necessarily, to be devoted to
park purposes. The proposed loca
tion is a noble one—not unlike where
the old building stands, fronting ‘'Mil-
ledgeville Avenue” and near Fort
Walker. Probably we may be unable
to erect the building this year, but it
is among our plans, and I will be
obliged if you will ask some of your
photographers to send me one or two
photographs, if they have any in
stock. Apologizing for this liberty,
I am respectfully yours,
Sidney Cook,
President Park Commissioners.
The Hon. Mayor of Milledgeville.
[reply.]
Sidney Root Esq., Atlanta, Ga.;
My Dear Sir: Your letter of July
7tli to Mayor Walker was handed to
me by him to answer. As 1 don’t
think you would be able to do much
with a photograph only of the old
capitol, I will have careful measure
ments taken of the premises and will
endeavor to get up somet hing of a mod
el or drawing (Col. MillerGrieve, of this
place, has kindly offered to do the
same) which with a photograph, will
be sent you at an early day.
Very truly, &c.,
Geo. D. Case.

The Strike, in Augusta.—The
hands in the picker room of that
large mill, the Augusta Factory, four
teen in number, have struck for high
er w’ages and quitw’ork. As the work
cannot go on without their perform
ance of the particular duty assigned
to them, the operations of the mill
must cease entirely, and it will throw
out of employment 650 hands, on
whom are dependant over twelve
hundred persons.
If they concluded to resume work
yesterday (Monday)every tiling would
go on smoothly, but the other hands
said they certainly would refuse to do
so, and then the 'factory would cease
operations. Mr. Phinizy in a letter
to the operatives, stated that the
mill had been run at a loss for more
than a year and it was impossible to
consent to advance their wages.

Sudden Death Miss Kate Milledge.
Work has been commenced on the
cotton seed mills in Conyers. The
brick are being put on the ground
and the side track is being graded.
The company hope to be ready for
operation by Sept. 1.
All the Atlanta churches are consid
ering the matter of paid church choirs,
and it is not impossible the old fashion
congregational singing will again pre
vail. It is claimed that the pay of
the choirs is inexcessive.

reoeived a letter from Col. J. H.
Blount in which it was stated that he
had secured all the money of the ap
propriation for the United States

government architect had informed
him that the building would be com
pleted within nine menths.—Tele

Forsyth, GA., July 2.—One of the
saddest deaths our community has
ever known occurred here to-day.
This morning Miss Kate Milledge,
who for years past lias been at the
head of the art department of Monroe
Female College, went to her duties in
the school room in the possession of
her every faculty. During the fore
noon a number of young ladies of the
school gathered in the college chapel
to practice a cantata forthe approach
ing commencement. About 10 o’clock,
while Miss Milledge was engaged in
directing the rehearsal, the whole of
her right side was stricken with para
lysis. She was then placed on a
lounge and carried to the home of her
mother. About 1'2 o'clock there was
another stroke, and Miss Kate grad
ually grew worse until about 3 o'clock,
when she calmly died.
After the first stroke she was umfble
to utter a word.
Miss • Milledge was of illustrious
lineage—both her grandfathers being
Governors—and was herself a lady of
marked intellectual worth, high’cul
ture and rare Christian virtue.
In her death Monroe Female Col
lege sustains an ’irreparable loss and
the church is deprived of one of its
mos$ devoted members.
Captain John and Mr. R. H. Milledge,
both of Atlanta, and brothers of the
deceased, have been telegraphed for
and are expected down this even
ing.

by the thousand, I predict that high

Jessie Crawford, a young woman
of TolonO, 111., has been an invalid

pray earnestly for her recovery. They
did so. The folloAving morning she
arose, dressed herself, and went to
breakfast for the first time in two
years; and the day following she went
to a picnic* Skeptical physicians say
that she could have done all this at
any time during the two years if she
had only thought so.
Rev. W. S. Ramsay, of Dublin,
while spending a night at Cochran

some gold watch, $38 in money, a gold

was highly valued. The thief left in
