We learn there are several cases of measles in the city. There are to be several marriages soon, so Madam Rumor says. Communications to receive attention must be accompanied by the name or the writer. “The great transaction"—the only one of intinite importance in every individual life, is choosing between good and evil. The -weather was so cold that be sides a considerable frost, ice was seen Friday and Saturday mornings last. Mr. Sol. Barrett has let the contract for erecting three new residences to Masses. McMillan & Ailing who will begin work at once. Judge D. B. Sanford is having a good deal of improvements made up on several houses, by renovating and repainting. The Milledgeville Bicycle Club was handsomely entertained in Macon by that clever set of boys composing the Bicycle Club of that city. We heard a gentleman say the oth- er day while looking at the firemen parade through the streets, that this is their 14th annual parade this year.” Go to the polls today and vole for Hop. James H. Blount for representative m Congress from the Sixth District. He has made an able and faithful repiesenta- tive and should receive a strong endorse ment. Mr. Warren Edwards has dug a well in his basement and all his arrangements mi a bath house in connection with his bar ber s hop. are now periected and his bath rooms will be open the latter part of this week. Failing to get the School of Tech nology our citizens would do well to strengthen our college and enlarge its facilities. Its faculty is ecptal to any in the state and it has more pupils than any college in the South. During the performance at the Ope ra House Thursday night, Miss Louise Etilfe so captivated tlie audience, that every time the curtain went down, she was so vociferously applauded as to compel her to make her appear ance and acknowledge the compli ment. There is a great deal of talk among the Bicyclists of our city, about con structing a race track for their amuse ment and pleasure, and for the pur pose of giving tournaments and races. is to be hoped that they will re- ceive all the encouragement and help from our citizens that is needful in their laudable and enterprising pur suit after pleasure. Five of the Milledgeville Bicycle Club have gone over to the State Fair They have a beautiful uniform. Han sell Hunter, it is said, was oblig ed because of the change in the weather, and the smallness of his limbs, to put on two pair of stockings. , Chronicle, 30th. Mr. Hansell Hunter begs leave to i state that it was not owing to the j thinness of his limbs, but the thinness j of his stockings that made it necessa-; ry for him to wear two pair. The two new drop curtains, and the shifting scenery at the Opera House are no doubt, as fine and handsome as any in the State, and Capt. Daine deserves a great deal of commenda tion for the zeal and energy lie has displayed in making Amusement Hall so lovelv and attractive. It is to be hoped that the people will appreciate his efforts and will patronize the troupes that visit us this season. Louise Balfe.—At the Amuse ment Hall, Thursday night Miss Lou ise Balfe supported by a fine troupe, presented to a delighted and highly appreciative audience the fine and ex cellent play, “Dag war.” Miss Balfe as “Dagmar” is perfectiv superb and her superior on the stage has never been seen in our city. On account of this being Fair week, and most of our people away from home, the attend ance was quite small, but it is to be hoped that she will be welcomed by a crowded house on her next visit here, which will be next January, so we are informed. Mrs. Martha Smith, a widow lady, who lives in Hancock county, near the line of Baldwin, on the Oconee river had her residence and all her out houses on the place, consisting of kitchen, cribs, stabies, servants hous es &c., burned on Sunday evening, “4th inst, All of her corn and fod der and that belonging to her son-in- law Mr. Joe Brundage, who lived in the bouse with her, and to Mr. Allie Smith who farmed with her, were burned. The fire originated in an out house, in which the children had been playing, and in which was some hamring, but how cau " bt 1S un 7 known Being first to catch m an out house the furniture, clothes, &c., in the dwelling were saved. This is a Sreat misfortune to come upon this family, as the loss cannot be replaced by them. Lunatic Asylum. The annual report of Dr. T. O. Powell, Superintendent, &c., shows that on the 1st of October, 1885, there were white patients 892 on hand, and 345 colored, making a total of 1,237. There have been received during the year 274 whites, and 117 colored, mak ing a total reception of 391. There have been discharged, removed, re turned to counties, and died during the year, of both white and colored, 390, leaving on hand 1st October, 1886, 1,2 8. The average number of patients under treatment during the year was 1,237, while the whole number receiv ing treatment was 1,028. The cost of maintenance is 33| cents per patient, per day, or $123.19 per year. There is but one other similar institution in the United States where the cost of maintenance is so small, viz: the Asylum at Weston, West Virginia, where the cost is $114.23 per annum, while at Bloomingdale, New York, the cost per patient, per annum, is $758.33. The proportionate num ber of insane to the population in Georgia, is 1 to every 908. There are only fourteen States and Territories in the U. S., which have a larger pro portion of insanity to the population than Georgia. The chief causes of insanity are, Hereditary Tendency, 111 Health, and Alcoholism. We learn from Judge D. B. Sanford that the county or quart liquor li cense was issued this year subject to prohibition. After the court declar ed in favor of prohibition the quart dealers were allowed to continue the sale up to the expiration of retail li censes, on the 8th of December, when prohibition will go into full force and effect. We also learn that this decis ion of the Ordinary will probably be contested. Scenes in a Printing Office. Proof-reader—“Say, how do you spell helpmeet, meaning the bride, when a fellow gets married?” 1st com positor— ‘ ‘H-e-l-p-m-e-t-e. ’’ Charlie, eleven years old—“H-e-l-p- m-e-a-t.” Impatient Proof-reader—“Oil the true way is, ‘Help-liim-eat. 1 Proof-reader—“Say! I want to look over that copy you are setting up.” Compositor—“Well do make haste, I've no time to spare.” P-R—“Oh, don't be impatient. If you hurry a fellow walking a small log over a creek, don't you know lie’ll be sure to fall in?” Sharp small Compositor—“Yes, and then he would be a fellow that ‘fell low 1 sure enough.” And then there was a laugh, and it was voted that the “small composi tor” was getting to be of a razorish sharpness and somewhat dangerous. P. J. CLIME & CO, IN THE $ Announce to the public, To-Day, t: at they have about ompleted marking and arranging their Fall stock, and a e n w ready for Business. We have had four Buyers in New York:, this season, Mr. Lyons, Mr. Cline and Mr, Bann m from the Macon store, and Mr. H.
