TUB CITY
What becomes of the water-melon
rinds thrown on our streets?
Mr. John Lyons died last Saturday
in Midway and was buried in our city
cemetery on Sunday.
The gourd martins have made their
appearance, and are roosting in large
numbers about the city.
The prohibition contest is set down
fora hearing before Judge Lawson
on Tuesday, 10th of August.
The Board of Health, if v/e have
one, should give some attention to the
sanitary condition of our city.
The new court house was ready for
the holding of court. The postpone
ment of court was for the benefit of
our farmers.
The Middle Georgia Military and
Agricultural College, at Milledgeville,
had 405 students last session—205
males and 200 females.
There is one thing, in which, we
think, we may safely say old Baldwin
is unanimous, and that is the return
of Hon. Jas. H. Blount to Congress.
For Sale—house and lot in centre of
city—cheap. Can be made a desira
ble residence at small cost. Apply to
Bethune & Moore, Real Estate
Agents.
The Milledgeville Brass band, com
posed of home talent, furnishes mu
sic which reflects great credit upon
the members, considering their recent
organization.
A Regular meeting of Benevolent
Lodge, will be held to-morrow (Wed
nesday) night. Work on the third
degree. The W. \ M. \ desires 'a full
attendance.
We invite attention to the new ad
vertisement of Messrs. W. T. Conn &
Co. The business of this enterpris
ing firm continues to increase not
withstanding the general depression
in business.
Mr. A. J. Carr will start to New
York as soon as Capt. Conn returns
from Athens. He goes on business
connected with their extensive whole
sale business in this city.
Ax Afflicted Family.—Two chil
dren of Mr. W. W. Stembridge died
last week. Their disease was dysen
tery. The eldest waS about six years
of age. The afflicted family have our
deepest sympathy in their distress.
Our Fire Department had a barbe
cue in the city last Friday, and real
ized about forty dollars from the sale
of dinners. The object was to raise
money to visit Athens. It was a qui
et and orderly gathering and passed
off pleasantly. We are glad to see
our firemen taking pride and interest
in their organization.
The nev^ book entitled “California
Gold-Field Scenes,” by Rev. R. W.
Bigham, has been received. We have
not had time to peruse it, but are
forcibly impressed with the beginning:
“Life has its phantoms that tangle it
in brambles. Yet the wounds of
the brambles sometimes impart to life
a grace and a joy that painlessness
and ease can never bestow'.”
Richard M. Vaughn was a member
of the Royal Arran um, 2 years, 2£
months. He paid dues and $12.00, as
sessments $43.24. Total paid in $55.24,
Received by Treasurer, Y. Joel, $3,000,
full amount of Insurance, only three
weeks after his death, which amount
has been turned over to his widow.
What Life Insurance can show such a
quick settlement. Any one wishing
to become a member of this order can
gain all information by applying to
Mr. Y. Joel, Treasurer.
A party of real, genuine Turks, with
a couple of small wagons, three trick
performing bears, baboon and a mon
key made the chief sensation on our
streets on Friday and Saturday last.
The party consists of three or four
men and a like number each of wo
men and children, and they are prob
ably the first genuine Turks that have
ever been seen by ninety nine out of
a hundred of our people. They are a
hard looking set of wanderers but
we know' of no violation of the laws
that can be charged against them.
We have read the late w ork of Rev.
Geo. G. Smith, entitled “Just Saved.”
It is a splendid work, and we recom
mend it to all, especially the young
people. Bro. Smith is a great friend
to the children, and this book, depict
ing the school-days of a boy, and the
career of a young* man, cannot fail to
interest and please them, and we
hope teach them many good and val
uable lessons. Fifty cents sent to
Rev. G. G. Smith, Vineville, Macon,
Ga., will purchase this work. Get it
and read it.
The Board of Education—At its
meeting on the 13th inst., re-adopted
the books published by Ivison, Blake-
man, Taylor, & Co. Since, we have
been favored by Capt. R. E. Park of
Macon, with a simple copy of each oi
the books adopted.
- In addition to the books adopted,
the same publishers have issued the
following books, viz : Swinton's Read
ers, Smith’s Physiology and Hygiene,
and Wells’ English Grammar. Had
the Board seen these publications,
we know from a casual examination,
and the individual opinion of mem
bers of the Board, that these would
also have been adopted, as no authors
on these subjects have been adopted.
The binding and typography of the
books are unobjectionable.
We present above the cut of Bos
worth, the Specialist, or “Eye Man,”
who will return and remain in Mil
ledgeville, during court. No man is
better known or more respected than
Bosworth. in Georgia. His specialty
of improving vision or making people
see better and perfectly, and of pre
serving the eyes, has made him a
thousand friends in every section of
the State. He has endorsements and
a reputation that few men ever get.
Those having weak eyes, or poor eyes,
or failing eyes, or. who suffer with
headache or neuralgia, should em
brace this opportunsty to relieve all
eye-strain and improve their sight,
which relieves nervousness. He will
not return rtgain after court for two
years and he is most reasonable in his
charges. * [2 2t
