Death of Col. Nathan McGehee.
Another old and well-known citizen
of Baldwin county, has passed away.
Col. Nathan McGehee died last Sat
urday about 5 o’clock, p. m., at the
home of his half-brother, Mr. H. M.
Rose, four miles north of this city.
He was eighty years of age, and near
ly the whole of his long life was spent
in this county. In his younger days
he was a man of wealth and influ
ence. Well educated, polished in man
ners, interesting in conversation, com
manding in personal appearance, he
was a favorite in society, and a leader
in public affairs. He was an intelli-
6 ent, upright citizen, a high-toned
onorable man, a true friend, a kind
master. Since the war he has lived
a retired life, and for several years
previous to his death had not been to
the city, though living only a few
miles in the country. He never mar
ried, and, so far as we know, was not
a member of any church or society.
His funeral took place at the residence
of Mr. Rose at 2A o’clock, Sunday af
ternoon, and be was laid to rest in
the family burial ground at the old
homestead. His ante bellurn friends
have nearly all preceded him to the
grave.
CARNIVAL OF AUTHORS.
It is intended to have a Carnival
of Authors, at the Opera House, dur
ing the first week in December, prob
ably on the evenings of the 2d and 3d,
for the benefit of the Baptist church.
Any of the friends of this cause who
would like to take part in the enter
tainment, are cordially invited to send
their names, with the name of author
and character they may desire to
represent, to Mrs. T. L. McComb, as
soon as possible. Do not wait for a
personal invitation, as time will not
allow of the delay which this would
necessitate.
MIDWAY PARAGRAPHS.
Whore's the Midway Business* Uii-
ion?
Is it true that the Milledgeville B-
Union contemplates making a seaport
town of the old Capital? Probably
we will have in cur midst ere a great
while a glass manufactory and a coal
mine.

It is well understood that the Asy
lum is a suburb of Midway, It is a
superb suburb, though. (Printer do
not spoil this pun,)
We have ceased to use the expres
sion, “Truth is stranger than fiction.”
The typo almost invariably gets it
“stronger” and this is misleading, for
fiction seems to be the stronger, gen
erally.
Out of the quarter of a million of
more or less crazy people in Georgia
it was found necessary to commit on
ly about 400 to the Asylum, during
the past year. The remainder are
still provided for at their homes and
manage some way or another to es
cape the De Lunatico Inquirandum.
It is not improbable though, that sev
eral thousand farmers will be run in
next year—it is more than probable
if this drouth should continue 6 months
longer.
That delightful fruit of the frosty
season—the poor man’s special prop
erty—is now ripe unto the harvest.

It is not the easiest matter in the
world sometimes to steer as clear of a
boor and bully, as one would wish
but it is well to remember, if possible,
that that man is sure to lose,
“Who fouls his hands with dirty foes,
For where! no honor’s to be gained,
TTfs thrown away in being maintain
ed.”
A very lonesome man was our es
teemed storekeeper during the past
week. He was all by himself at home,
and seemed to take but little pleasure
in life. As a matter of duty though,
he fed the chickens and watered the
cow, with all due regularity.

You are right Mr. Editor, the peo
ple of Baldwin should do all they can
to strengthen their College, and in
crease its power for good. It has a
competent corps of teachers, but pa
rents should bear in mind that com
petent as they are, they have not yet
learned how to manufacture “a silk
en purse from a swine’s ear.”
C. J. Peschall, President of the Jer
sey Kennel Club—a club that owns
nearly a quarter|of a million's worth of
valuable dogs—and who is an author
ity on matters relating to dogs, in
an interview recently, with a report
er of the Baltimore Sun, said: “In
all my life, (and I have been a fancier
of dogs since childhood) I have never
seen a case of hydrophobia.” People
get scared sick if a dog happens to
put bis teeth in them. This talk
about a dog having rabies when he
froths and foams at the mouth, is
sheer nonsense. Almost every case of
this kind is the result of distemper
which leaves in its track one of three
symptoms, either paralysis of the
body, during which a dog has no use
of his legs; paralysis of the brain
which causes a choking sensation and
makes the dog froth, or it produces
diarrhoea. One or the other of these
is sure to follow distemper. Paralysis
of the brain is what frightens pedes
trians and policemen, when really
there is no cause for alarm. A dog
runs aimlessly and harmlessly because
be is smothering^ and wants his
breath. He could not bite if he want
ed to. If he had hydrophobia, as
doctors put it, he would not foam, on
the contrary he would have a burn
ing thirst.”
I quote this much of Peschall’s re
marks in this column from the fact
that every summer, for several years,
our people here have been more or
less alarmed at the existence of the
so-called hydrophobia, when in all
probability, there has never been a
genuine case of it in the country in
years, if at all. A great many people
doubtless think they know of cases of
hydrophobia, but at the same time
there is a no less number, who firm
ly believe that the “Devil’s riding-
horse” will spit in their eye and put it
out. Let your fear of mad dogs cease
and when you find your dog has dis
temper give him copious doses of
common salt and cure him .instead of
killing him?
