THE CITY.
On Wednesday, the 10th inst., Neal
Cook, son of Mr. J. R. Cook, of Twiggs
county, sustained an accidental inter
nal injury, as he thought, while run
ning up the stairs at our college.^ He
was soon confined to his bed and con
tinued to grow worse ’till Tuesday
night last, when death resulted, as
his physician stated, from uraemia, in
connection with malarial fever, which
disease manifested itself by unmistak
able symptoms. We mention these
facts more particularly, because some
of his young friends, and perhaps
others of our citizens, have supposed
that his death was the result of the
injury mentioned above.
The death of this ‘young man has
been the cause of great sorrow among
the numerous male pupils of our col
lege, of which he was a cadet. He
had besides a large circle of relatives,
who will mourn his death, at a time
when he seemed to have an unusual
bright and promising future before
him, with a degree of sorrow and af
fliction almost beyond the power of
consolation. His personal traits of
character were such that they at
tracted the warm regard and friend
ship of those with whom he became in
any manner associated.
His father was summoned by tele
gram when his case threatened a seri
ous result but he arrived here a few
minutes too late to see him once more
in life. He died at the residence of
his grandmother, who, assisted by
others, ministered to his wants with
the most tender care and affection.
His remains were conveyed to his
home in Twiggs county, to be interred
in the same burial lot, where others
of his family had been laid away in
their final resting place. He was
eighteen years of age.
Supplies for the Asylum.—We
call attention to the advertisement
in another column of Mr. L. J. Lamar
inviting bids for furnishing supplies
for the Asylum.
Postponement.—The play of “Our
Boys” which was advertised to take
place on the 19th, inst., (Friday) has
been unavoidably postponed till Fri
day, 26th instant, owing to the sick
ness of one of the performers. Tick
ets that have been sold for the 19th
will be good for the 26th.
A check on the bank is a good thing
to have at this time of the year when
debts must be paid or one’s credit will
suffer. We got a check the other day
and hastened to the bank at a few
minutes past 3 o’clock, P. M. We
found the door closed, and the genial
president, Judge Wiedenman, stand
ing outside, who pointed us to a sign
in the window showing that the bank
“opens at 9 A. M. and closes at 3 P. m.”
The Judge stated that, for the ac
commodation of cotton buyers they
had adopted the plan of keeping open
during the dinner hour and closing at
3 o’clock ; and added, we do every
thing exactly according to rule.
Milledgeviile has made more pro
gress this year than for many years
past. Our citizens are satisfied that
there is a prosperous future for the
old town, and they are willing to in
vest all the money they can make at
home. Many persons from a distance
desire to locate here, principally on
account of the educational advantages
offered by the M. G. M. & A. college.
There is a demand for eligible build
ing lots. The enquiry is frequently
made: Why cannot some arrange
ment be made whereby the old Peni
tentiary property, which embraces
four squares in the heart of the city,
be laid off in building lots and sold.
Is this vacancy to remain forever in
the most desirable part of our city.
True, it is the property of the State,
but surely the legislature could allow
the Trustees of the college to dispose
of it, if the matter was brought be
fore it?
We have heard complaint about
young men assembling in the vestibule
of the Methodist church during night
service, where they smoke and talk,
(thoughtlessly no doubt,) to the dis
turbance sometimes of the congrega
tion. Disturbing public worship is a
serious offense, and one which we
are satisfied our young men never in
tended to commit, and they will be
more careful in future. As this mat
ter has attracted public attention we
say to our young friends: Pardon us if
we suggest that hereafter you linger
not in the vestibule to pass compli
ments but throw out your best nickle
cigar, (even if it isn’t more than half
smoked up,) and go in, and keep on
well up to the front, and pay strict
attention and you will hear some
thing that will do you good and not
harm all the days of your lives, and
maybe, (for the Lord is merciful,) help
you, when health and strength fail,
to cross over the dark river in peace
and enter upon an eternity of happi
ness.

By the Thousand, 50 per cent. Lower than Anvbodv,
About two months ago, when the wholesale Hat House of Rosen-
field & Lilienthal, of Macon, Ga., went out of business, we bought
their entire stock of Hats, at less than 50c on the dollar, and in this
lot there was a large number of the celebrated J. B. Stetson Hats.
Everybody knows what this Hat is, and we are going to sell them at
$2.50 a piece. All other Hats in this let will be sold at half what
you can buy them elsewhere.
Ready-Made Clothing!
Our stock in this line is immense, consisting of Gents’, Youths’,
Boys’ and Children’s Overcoats, and Suits, from the Cheapest to
the Finest garment made. We will sell you an all wool suit for
$6.50 that will surprise you, and our $8.50, all wool suit is a perfect
beauty.
Fathers! Mothers!
Come and look at our Boys’ Knee Suits, at only $2.00: they are
really cheaper than buying the cloth.
Gold and Silver Shirts.
We are the sole Agents here of these celebrated makes of Shirts:
Gold at $1.00 and Silver for 75c; Collars and Cuffs to match: and
they are the best, cheapest, and most perfect fitting shirt ever of
fered in this mrrket. We also sell as good Linen Bosom Shirts at
50c as you usually buy for 75c.
Cloths and Ca§simeres,
AT HALF PRICE.
Only a few weeks ago, the well known Merchant Tailor, N. R.
Winship, of Macon, failed, and our Mr. Cline, who is always on
hand, when there are bargains to be had, bought a large portion of
this stock at 50c on the dollar. They are all handsome goods, and
you can buy them from us for nearly one-half what you will have to
pay for them elsewhere. N. R. Winship’s card is printed on every
piece, which is itself a guarantee that they are first-class goods.
We were never before able to sell Carpets as cheap as this season!
Our stock of Three Ply, Super Two Ply, and Mediums, are very
handsome. We also have the celebrated Chelsea Mills, Chinese
Carpet, which is a very pretty Carpet, for only 25c, and beautiful
Napier Mattings and a large assortment of Crumb Cloths, Velvet
and Turkish Rugs and Rubber Door Mats. We also keep in this
department a splendid assortment of Linen Window Shades and
Cornices—be sure and ask to see them.
To Our Country Merchants,
We ask this one favor of you—give us a look, and get our whole
sale prices, and we will convince you that we will sell you goods as
cheap as Macon, Augusta or Savannah, and in some lines a great
deal cheaper. We will save you your freight every time; we have
all the facilities for doing it, and if we fail, it will be our fault and
not yours.
ffip-Ahove we have tried to give you a general idea of our stock and prices. Of course
we sell for cash and the cash we must have. We could not afford to sell them at the prices
we do, if we did not get the cash. We have four more new salesmen besides our regular
force and we promise you polite, respectful and gentlemanly attention, at all times, and
will use every effort in our power to please you.
