“The Fourth Quarterly Conference
of the M. E. Church in this city will
be held next Saturday and Sunday.
The presiding elder, Rev. Dr. Boring,
will be present. The Friday before is
fast day.
The Local Board of Trustees of the
Middle Georgia Military and Agricul
tural college are requested to meet at
the Ordinary's office to-day (Tuesday)
at 4 o’clock, P. M. By order of the
President, J. N. Moore, Sec’y.
There was a warrant sued out be
fore Justice T. J. Lingould the other
day for Will Freeman and Ben Jones
for stealing. Our informer adds this
wise advice: “Look out you loafers;
you had better be picking cotton.”
W e are glad to see that our local
politics have cooled down and elec
tioneering is carried on in a quiet,
agreeable manner. Private business
matters are very naturally engaging
the attention of our people at this
season of the year.
Candy Manufactory and Ba
kery.—Mr. Frank Scheidemann of
Alabama has rented Nos. 24, 28 and
30, corner of Hancock and Wilkinson
streets, from Judge Sanford, and will
establish a candy factory and bakery.
We believe he will do a good business
in this city. •
W. T. Conn & Co., of Milledgeville,
do a good business with our mer
chants. and are deservedly popular.
It affords us pleasure to speak of this
house in terms of praise*. Milledge
ville ought to be, and no doubt is,
proud of W. T. Conn & Co’s, record,
constituting as it does a standing ad
vertisement for that city.—Eatonton
Messenger.
One 4 room house with cook room
attached—all new—2 acres land—good
well water—good barn—bounded
north by Ga. R. R., east by Wilkin
son street.
Two half acre lots, with houses, on
Wavne street, old factory site. For
sale* by Bethune & Moore.
Real Estate Agents.
Mr. W. H. Carr has developed into
a thorough business man. He was
reared in the dry goods business, and
understands it in all its details. He
knows how to buy goods and how to
sell them. By his politeness and in
tegrity he is becoming very popular
with the ladies, to whose tastes he es-
peciallv caters, and is enlarging the
circle of his patronage. There is some talk among young
_ T ,, men of organizing a Social Club, for
The Holiness meeting for the North *h e purpose of dancing and other
Georgia Conference which meets in amusements.
“My Aunt Bridget,” a laughable
melange of funny incidents and situa
tions without much plot, was render
ed to a small but appreciative audi
ence, at Amusement Hall, on Wednes
day evening last. Geo. W. Mon
roe and John C. Rice, in the roles
of Aunt Bridget and P. Alton Mc
Veigh, personated their respective
characters with great success and
were quite well. supported by the
other members of the troupe. Mr.
Rice did some remarkable high kick
ing during the dances, and thereby
greatly pleased a part of the audience,
especially the boys, but perhaps little
less or none of it, would have better
pleased the more refined portion of
those present.
The new drop curtain, which has
just been put in position, presents a
very pretty water view, backed by
rugged hills, surmounted by several
castellated buildings, and is bordered
by a large number of handsomely
gotten up cards or advertisements of
a number of the principal business
houses of this city. The new scenery
that was used, which was onLy a part
of what has recently been secured,
was quite an improvement to the
paraphanalia. The lessees of Amuse
ment Hall deserve commendation and
encourgement in their endeavors to
to secure innocent amusement for our
people. Our young folks will have
amusement of some kind and those of
a theatrical character, -which are free
from vulgarity and immoral tenden
cies, should be encouraged by those
who are inclined to recreation of that
character.

T. L. McComb & Co.
If you want to enjoy fine writing,
brought to the discussion of business
realities, read T. L. McComb & Co’s
advertisement. If you wish to know
where you can find splendid goods,
which the owners say they will sell at
the most enticing prices, we refer you
to the same place in our columns.
And if you want to do yourself jus
tice in the purchase of goods of every
description, call at the store of the
above enterprising firm, and test the
truth of what they affirm in their
advertisement. You w r ill receive po
lite attention from a well selected
corps of clerks.
Card from Capt. Conn.
Messrs. Editors : Hearing a rumor
to the effect that if I were elected to
represent Baldwin county in the next
General Assembly I w r ould favor a
law taxing the property of its citizens
for our college, I take this opportu
nity of informing the tax payers of
our county that the constitution for
bids such taxation and I never had
such an absurd idea.
I also take this mode of stating pos
it! vely and emphatically, that I am
not pledged or committed to vote for
any measure or for any man, and so
far as the statement goes that my
candidacy is in the interest of a cer
tain candidate for the Judgeship of
this circuit, I desire to say that I am
committed to no one and that, if elect
ed, my vote will be cast for that man
who appears to be the choice of the
circuit. W. T. Conn.

Rev. B. E. Baker of Monticello,
F'.orida, filled the pulpit of the Pres
byterian church in this city on Sun
day morning last, in a manner which
was quite acceptable to the attentive
congregation that had assembled.
The fall term of our college opened
last Wednesday—faculty and teach
ers all present. The attendance is
fu lly as large as at any time in the
past.
-Sun Time.—In compliance with a
petition from citizens our worthy Or
dinary has had the court house clock
changed from standard to sun time.

this city, has been postponed till the
11th of October, and will continue a
week. A very large attendance is ex
pected and our people look forward to
this important event with much in
terest. Christians are praying for a
refreshing from on High. The Au
gusta District Holiness Association
meets here at the same time.
Rev. Julius Magath, missionary to
the Hebrews of this State, preached
at the Methodist church in this city
last Sunday, morning and night. His
text in the* morning was taken from
Romans, X, 1, 2: “Brethren., my
heart’s desire and prayer to God for
Israel is, that they might be saved.
For I bear them record that they
have a zeal of God, but not according
to knowledge.”
The anti-proliibitionists of Baldwin
county have taken the prohibition
case to the Supreme court. Judge
Lawson decided the contest in favor
of prohibition but charged the costs
in the case to Baldwin county. Judge
Sanford appealed from this decision
to the Supreme court, in regard to pay
ment of costs. The anties have con
cluded, that in as much as the case
will go to Supreme court upon one
point, that they would appeal from
the whole decision in the lower court.
Sheriff Ennis arrested a negro
named Hal Brantley a week or more
since on suspicion of theft, the man
having offered a steer for sale at the
suspiciously low price of ten dollars.
The suspicion of our vigilant Sheriff
turned out to be w'ell founded, for
on being notified of the arrest, Sheriff
Fountain came after the accused and
carried him to Irwinton jail to abide
the penalties of the law for having
stolen the steer from Mrs. N. C.
Hughes of Wilkinson county.
The Irwinton “Southerner” states
that he joined the church the night
before he committed the theft. We
think the extreme penalty of the law
should be visited on such a creature.
Several new grocery stores will
opened in the city, before long.
