Newspapers must have patronage to live, and cannot be expected to boom private enterprises of parties who do not advertise. “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. W. T. Conn & Co’s., Gilt Edge Cream Cheese is the finest in the world. Ask your grocer for this brand and no other. 113t. 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. Sept. 20th, 1886. 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. P. J. CLINE & CO ♦» —IN THE— 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. be Merchants who deal in family med icines should not forget that W. T. Conn & Co., are headquarters for these goods. 11 3t. To the Citizens of Baldwin County: I will deliver an address on Politi cal Topics, on Saturday, the 9th day of October next, at Milledgeville, Ga. Respectfully Yours, JAMES H. BLOUNT.
