Nov. 13th, 1886, Messrs. Editors:— u It has rained at this place and the people are talking of killing hogs. Mr. Sidney Brown rejoices in a bicycle. There is another boy at Mr- John My- rlck’s house. Groundpeas, possums, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, syrup and hickory nuts are coming in and persimmons too. Mr. W. L. Horne has the measles. Dr. Harper is visiting Putnam. The wonder is that he does not go oftener— nice widows up that way. Col. Napier has our sympathy in the loss of his gin and cotton. E. MARRIED, At the residence of the bride’s father, in this city, on Wednesday evening, at 8 o’clock, Miss Alma Fowler to MR. Robert Wall. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. J. Beck in an impressive manner in the presence of quite a number of the relatives and friends of the contracting parties. The bride is a daughter of Mr. Miles A. Fowler, and is as lovely in character as she is beautiful in person, and is E ossessed of qualities of head and eart that cannot fail to make a hap py home for the fortunate young man who has won her for a life part ner. Mr. Wall has for a number of years been a popular clerk in the ex tensive dry goods establishment of Mr. Adolph Joseph. By his pleasant manners, fine business qualities, and excellent moral character, he has won the esteem of all with whom he has come in contact. He is a son of Mr. John B. Wall. The happy young couple are boarding in the family of Mr. E. T. Ailing. The Union-Recor der unites with the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wall in hearty congrat ulations and sincere goods wishes. May they live long and be happy. On Monday the 8th inst., two fami lies in this community were plunged in grief by the death, in each, of an infant loved one. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hawkins and Mr. and Mrs. Guy Mc Kinley were* the sufferers by this not unusual, but none the less most afflictive dispensation of Providence. Every believer in the Christian reli gion who has lived long enough to Slave a just conception of the dangers of both moral and physical evil which are likely'to beset the future lives of .every child born into the world will most probably believe that death in ■infancy is a real blessing. But few (parents however can willingly give up their loved ones to such a fate, oven though they may feel that they would thereby be secured in the en joyment of eternal happiness. To all such there is only one source of con solation and that is to place their im plicit trust in Him who, although He has brought affliction upon them, “doeth all things well” and will “make all things work together for good” to them who put their trust in Him. m McMillan & Ailing, contractors, have begun work on three dwellings for Mr. Sol Barrett on the lots oppo site the Methodist church, and will push them rapidly to completion. Death of Mrs. L. J, Lamar* On Saturday morning last, at 5 o’ clock, Mrs. Helen Lamar, wife of Mr. Lucius J. Lamar, died at their residence in this city. Daeth has the fame significance, and is truly the King of Terrors,” to every human being; taking the soul from earth and introducing it into that undiscovered country from which no traveller ever returneth. The rich and the poor, the king and the beggar, all have to submit to his inexorable summons, and those who are their relatives and f.iends have the same bitter cup of sorrow to drink, when that summons comes. But the relationships and sur roundings of every one who is thus called away from earth are different from all others. In this instance, death has taken away the wife from a loving husband, who after years of wedded happiness, finds himself deso late and forsaken ; and the world has to him taken on a new and dreary as pect. It has also taken away'the mother from seven children, who have day by day looked up to her for love and comfort in all their childish sorrows and troubles, and for guidance in ev ery time of doubt and difficulty. Be sides, a large circle of relatives and friends and the church of which she had been a member since childhood, all feel keenly this unexpected and ir reparable loss. Truly, while in some respects death is the same to all the human race; in its effect upon the liv ing who were connected with them, the difference is as great as that be tween light and darkness. Mrs. Lamar had been sick for some ten days, or two weeks and that fact was known to many in the communi ty, but no one expected a fatal termi nation of her illness until a few hours before her death. She was a devoted wife and mother, had warm attach ments for her friends and was, almost from her childhood, a consistent mem ber of the Presbyterian church, in the prosperity of which she always took much interest. Her father, Mr. Wm. G. Robinson, was a citizen of this place a number of years ago, but for years past has lived in a distant part of the State and was prevented by sickness from attending his daughter’s funeral. She also left three brothers who in their distant homes will mourn the loss of their only sister. On Sunday last, the Presbyterian church here was crowded to its ut most capacity, by those in attendance on the funeral services of Mrs. Lamar. Rev. Dr. Chas. W. Lane, of Athens, her old pastor, came over from Spar ta, where he was attending a meeting of the Georgia Synod, and conducted the services in a most solemn and im pressive manner, after which a long procession of friends and citizens pro ceeded with the remains to the ceme tery where the remaining burial cer emony was concluded and they were consigned to earth in the family bur ial lot. Expose of That Pretended Public Investigation of the Qualities of the Baking Powders. It is no new thing with the Royal Baking Powder Company to publish in the newspapers reading notice ad vertisements which have the appear ance of emanating from the editor's pen. Its most recent effort is an article from the x\lbany Evening Journal giving a pretended investigation as if made by the Journal of the qualities of the baking powders. The^following from a later issue of the same paper (August 27, 1886) so plainly stamps the whole thing as simply an advertising dodge of huge proportions that we think the public entitled to the benefit of the expose, and accordingly give it below: “The Journal has printed analyses and reports of various baking pow ders as reading notices or advertise ments. It has not undertaken to say of its own knowledge which is the best powder in the market. Con sumers must decide for themselves.” This piece of ingenious advertising on the part of the Royal Baking Pow der Company may have had its origin in the evident disappointment of that Company with its extravagant but fruitless advertising efforts to beguile the public into believing that the cream of tartar used in other baking powders contains a large percentage of tartrate of lime, when it is a fact and well known to the commercial world tlia^ all the refiners who supply this country with cream of tartar are, and have been for a long time, in a combination under an agreement be tween them to produce only strictly pure, or ninety-nine per cent., goods. The cream of tartar used in Cleve land's Superior Baking Powder is re fined by a new process which frees it entirely from tartrate of lime and every impurity, and is obtained in the pure crystals and ground in our own factory; the bicarbonate of soda is prepared expressly for us; and to en sure uniform and absolute purity of our baking powder all the ingredients are subjected to searching chemical analyses, and none used unless proved to be perfectly pure. Appreciating the fact that consum ers have a right to know what they are using as food, we have for many years made known to the public all the ingredients of our powder. Cleve land’s Superior Baking Powder is made only of strictly pure grape cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda, and a small portion of flour used as a preservative, and does not contain ammonia, alum, lime, acid phosphate, or any adulteration whatever. Has the Royal Baking Powder Com pany, with its much advertising, ever informed the housekeepers of the country all that enters into the com position of its powder? Or has it ever published a word openly in defence of the use of ammonia in baking powder? Information on these points might enable the public to form an intelli gent opinion in regard to the merits of this much mooted question of bak ing powder supremacy, and we would have no misgivings as to the result. Cleveland Brothers, Albany, N. Y. MIDWAY PARAGRAPHS. Rev. Mr. King, preached his first sermon at the Midway Chapel Tues day evening- It was a stirring sermon and was attentively listened to by the large congregation. Service again this evening at 7 o’clock. Under the direction of Capt. DeSaus- sure self-opening and closing gates are being constructed for the front grounds at the Asylum. They will prove a great convenience. We regret to learn of the severe illness of Mr. O. C. Summers who is down with malarial fever at his home near the Asylum. During the past week fire created considerable havoc in the woods in the vicinity of Smith’s Mount. Dry as it has been it is a wonder there haye not been more fires of the kind. Several desirable pieces of property can still be secured in the village. The Dust.—We started lo make some reference to it but on reflection it is unnecessary as even a blind man is conscious of the state of affairs in regard to it and besides it is probable there will be some rain before this is printed and what we started out to say might be looked upon as an exag geration. N. B. The rain has come. The charge of Judge Simmons to the Bibb county grand jury last week was as fine a thing of its kind as we have ever seen. It is a document that should be generally read. The people need to be taught their duty as grand- jurors. Our esteemed and venerable friend has an infirmity of the jaw, which is especially worrying three times daily and does not yield to treatment. Alas! Alas! Is there no balm in “Gilead,” is there no physician there? —that can heal him. Rev. Samuel Small certainly comit- ted a very decided indiscretion when he allowed himself to be beguiled into a transaction with Abe Strican Jr., Cincinnatti. Samuel, beware of^the Jew Jewellers! “They talk about a woman’s sphere As though it had a limit. There’s not a place in earth or heaven There's not a task to mankind given, There’s not a blessing nor a woe, There’s not a life, or death, or birth That has a feather’s weight of worth Without, a woman in it?” Enough rain fell Friday morning and afternoon to lay the dust which in itself is no mean blessing. A railroad from Eufaula Ala., to St. Andrews Bay is now projected. Our esteemed 1st As’t. M. D., and Chap lain have t.aken the matter in band. Parties desiring stock will remember that “first come first served.” Pro bably not over $50,000 of stock will be allowed to Baldwin. The people of Georgia will have cause for congratulation if for the next 50 years they average as good a Governor as they had in the person of Henry D. McDaniel. Parents, encourage your boys not to destroy any more bird nests. Our insectivorous birds, including our desirable song birds, are being rapid ly exterminated and we will suffer greatly without them. Our esteemed fellow citizen of the East end, Hon. R. N. Lamar is a citizen of Atlanta during the sitting of the General Assembly. Several cases of measles are report ed as prevailing in the vicinity of the Asylum. A Legal fence in this state is not required to be chicken proof. So my friend the burden is on you to keep your poultry out of your neighbor’s turnip patch. Now that Baldwin has a good liquor law she needs only a general stock law and a thorough appreciation of the value of one’s minding his own business and pushing it, to soon be on the broad road to the highest ma terial prosperity. Death of Rev. Jai. M. Hall. The Farmers Club will please bear in ufind that next Saturday is their regular meeting. A full attendance is desired.

He was a Baptist minister, and had removed from this, his na tive county, to that city to get the benefit of a course of studies at Mer cer Universily, the better to prepare himself for his work. He had charge of two or three country churches in this county, at one of which he preached on the Sunday previous to his death, at which time he was taken with a violent cold, resulting in a hemorrhage of the lungs. His re mains were brought to this city last 1 Sunday morning, and buried at Black Springs. He leaves a wife and three children. A good and useful man has gone to his reward. Mr. William H.
