THE CITY
Hot, dry, dusty.
Two hundred and thirteen bales of
cotton were sold in tliis city last Sat
urday.
Our streets are exceedingly dusty.
The sprinkler was out yesterday, but
an active growing city like ours needs
and must have more water.
Mr. T. W. Turk, Tax Collector of
Baldw in county, gives notice in an
other column, that his books are ope
for the collection of taxes for the year
1886.
The sparkling water from a fount
in Mr T. L. McComb s yard, is a
pleasing evidence that his water
works are a success The water is
conveyed from Jarratt s sprin 0 .
When an earthquake comes where
shall man abide? He cannot seek
safetv in cvclone pits, nor on house
tops.* At such a time he can hut re
alize his utter insignificance and his
inability to hide from Him who holds
the earth in the hollow of His hand.
The voung mens prayer meeting
will be held next Friday night in the
basement of the Presbyterian church.
Yormo- men turn out, and turn over a
new leaf. The irreligion of our young
men is the saddest feature in the
otherwise promising future of our
city. In their hands rests the happi
ness of the community to an alarm
ing extent.
The Old Hardware Stork.—We
invite attention to the advertisement
of Mr. Joseph Staley,'.who has a com
plete stock of hardware and other
roods in his line, at bottom prices.-
Hehas had a long practical experience,
having been engaged m the business
in this city for more than a quarter of
a centurv. He is familiar with the
wants of'the trade, and has enlarged
his stock from year to year to meet
the increasing wants of this and ad-
ioining counties. If von need any
thing in his line or roofing or gutter
ing to be done, call on him.
Mr. Sol Barrett of this city has been
engaged in doing some first rate farm
ing for two or three years in this vi
cinity, together with other kindred
pursuits. He has also been engaged
in the mercantile business in years
past. He now proposes to engage in
the wholesale and retail trade in gro
ceries at the store which w T as occupied
for a number of years and until a few
days since, by Mr. Windsor. He is an
enterprising citizen, has fine business
capacity, ample means and a strong
attachment for the old town. He will
have Mr. Ed Lane as an assistant.
Everybody about here knows the lat
ter gentleman and they also know
liow efficient and attentive to busi
ness he is. With a sufficient capital
and first rate heads and hands to han
dle it, together with the continued in
crease in the trade of Milledgeville,
we shall look for a fully successful ca
reer of this new business enterprise,
and we feel assured both the public
and the owner of it, will be banefitted
by its establishment here and by its fu-
ture influence on the business of ^Iil-
ledgeville.

SPECIAL’
On Monday night, 20tli insh, about
one o’clock, the ringing of the bells
awakened our people and a glance to
ward the Southeastern part of the
city made them aware that a house
was on fire. It was soon ascertained
hv those in that region that the stable
of Mr. Thos. Bagiev was burning.
The fire had made such progress be
fore it was discovered that it was im
possible to save the house, and it
speediiv burned down, destroying all
of Mr. Bagley’s forage, which was
stored in the loft oi the building. The
fact that the fire occurred so late in
the night, when it was not probable
that any one would be pasging to
start it by the accidental throwing
aside of a cigar stump or in any simi
lar manner, leads to the belief that its
origin was the act of an incendiary.

A correspondent of the Constitu
tion writing from Dublin, Ga., on the
8th inst.. commences his dispatch
with the sentence, “Dublin is destin
ed to be the Atlanta of South Geor
gia ” We like the pluck of the wri
ter and trust that his bright visions
of future greatness for his little town
may have a glorious realization. In
the meantime our people and those
below here on our river are taking ac
tive measures to open the Oconee to
steamboat navigation to this city and
we may indulge in pleasant dreams of
the future, when our enterprising
merchants will order their goods from
the South Georgia Atlanta, and they
will be delivered to us from the decks
of the busy steamers navigating our
river.
Now let’no irreverent croaker laugh
at the modest attempts to lift the veil
that obstructs our view of the un-
i known future. Stranger things than
this have occurred in the history of
the world.
I WILL sell ray house anrtloton Wayne Street

value in Milledgeville.

A few davs ago, Pea Jav, one of

the reporters of the Constitution made
his appearance here and in a few
hours gathered a mass of information
concerning the business of our city
and the men who conduct and con

the light and airy manner charac
teristic of that great and energetic
iournal and had his report printed and
before the public almost before we
