THE CITY.
“United we stand, divided we fall.”
Common suffering produces a feel
ing of brotherhood.
Three days of sleet and snow is an
unusual and sad experience for this
community.
Headquarters for Toys and Fire
works at Mrs. S. D. Wootten's. See

Husband your resources and don't
throw away the hard earnings of the
year just for a little fun, so-called.
Felt hats and fancy feathers at cost
—for the cash.
Miss S. E. Bearden.
Many persons in this community
were entirely unprepared for the long
continued snow siorm and we fear
much suffering will result.
All persons indebted to the Union-
Recorder are requested to make
payment. “Do you hear that?”
We are requested to state that Bish
op Beckwith will visit St. Stephen's
Church in this city on Sunday the
12th inst.
Perhaps the largest pile of sleet and
snow ever seen in this city was heap
ed up at the corner of Case’s drug
store yesterday morning.
On Friday last, Mr. Kenan, of Bald
win introduced a bill to create a
board of commissioners of roads and
revenue for Baldwin.
There was no service last Sunday
in any of our churches. Our town
was snowed under. Only a few men
ventured out to get their mails.
The Pawnee Indians, wrapped in
their red blankets, gave a finishing
touch to the Arctic picture our streets
have presented for the past few days.
Just received 1,000 lbs. of pure
French Candy, which is offered at

Do all the good you can in the com

The ladies of the Baptist church re
alized forty-three dollars from their
supper last Thursday night. They
deserve great credit for the energy
with which they are working to in
crease the building fund for their new
church.
A Fortunate Escape.—Last Sat
urday morning Miss Clifford Fowler's
dress caught fire from the grate. She
screamed and her father, Mr. J. G.
Fowler, who was in an adjoining
room, hastened to her and extinguish
ed the flames, before any damage was
done.
There are many things more impor
tant about a home than fine furnish
ings. A room in winter should have
all the sun possible; a bright fire, two
or three easy chairs, a few extra|cush-
ions, and a readable book with the
leaves uncut, would go far toward
making the plainest room cozy and
comfitable.
A fine sleet fell Saturday night and
Sunday morning, followed by snow
Sunday night and Monday morning,
covering the ground to the depth of
two or three inches. The accumula
tion of sleet on the roofs of many
of our stores caused leaks doing con
siderable damage to goods. Messrs.
P. J. Cline & Co., are the worst suf
ferers
We feel sorry for those who were
prevented by the inclemency of the
weather from hearing Bill Arp, (Maj
Charles H. Smith) deliver one of his
inimitable lectures, last Friday night
It was a very cold, rainy night, still
the Superior Court room was occu
pied by an intelligent and highly ap
preciative audience, which though
somewhat small, was larger than
might, have been expected under the
circumstances. Quite a number of
ladies braved the cold, wintry rain
and muddy streets to be present.
The pleasant countenance and the
unaffected and easy delivery of the
speaker placed him at once on first
rate terms with his hearers and
throughout the lecture, many a hear
ty laugh and rattling outburst of ap
plause gave evidence of their great
and genuine appreciation of its many
gems of wit and humor. It was very
pleasant to those who were familiar
with the speaker’s writings to hear
him give a most graphic sketch of the
character „ and peculiarities of the
original and real “Bill Arp,” whose
name is a familiar one in two hemis
pheres, and of the maunerjin which it
became the “nomine de plume” of
one of our most distinguished humor
ists. The name, history and in part
the adventures of “Big John,” anoth
er of his famous characters, were also
presented to his hearers and they
learned that these men were not
merely the airy creation of the writer’s
brain, but real men—cranky and ex-
centric perhaps, but still possessing
some of the best traits of human na
ture, and loving and beloved as other
men are.
But w r e cannot follow 7 the lecturer
in his delightful word pictures of
Southern life before the great civil
war, and of the aristocracy of those
times with their many slaves and
their patriarchal mode of life and the
system of slavery which had so much
to do with forming the traits of char
acter of the leading statesmen and in
deed the people generally of those
days. There was much that was de
lightful to hear and which w r ill be
pleasant to think of in connection
w 7 ith memories of that dark and in
clement evening, but w T ant of space
admonishes us to stop. We close by
saying w r e do not remember ever to
have heard so charming a lecture and
that the lecturer and audience w 7 ho
met as strangers, parted, we feel as
sured, as friends.

We are authorized to announce the
name of C. W. Ennis as a candidate

Up to date 8,610 bales 9f cotton
have been shipped from, this city by
the Central railroad. This is 497 bales
ahead of same date last year.
Prohibition.
All the retail licenses in this city ex
pire to-mcrrow, (8th,) and the "bar
rooms will then be closed. Messrs.
Kinney & Whelan will continne to sell
bv the quart till the first of January.
Notice was served upon them by Or
dinary Sanford that all parties selling
liquor after the 8th would be subject
to prosecution, as quart licenses were
issued subject to prohibition. Kin
ney & Whelan filed a bill of injunc
tion restraining Judge Sanford from
interfering with their sales. Judge
Lawson rendered his decision last
Thursday sustaining the bill. By the
time Judge Sanford could get a hear
ing before the Supreme court the li
cense would have expired, hence this
firm will continue their sales until the
first of January
After closing their saloons, Messrs.
W A. Walker, C. H. Bonner and H.
E Kreutz, will continue business as
family grocers; Mr. Fred Hanft will
go into the butcher’s business, and
Mr W. J- Brake will open a whole
sale liquor house in Macon, and keep
up a restaurant, billiard room, and
possibly a wine room in this city.
Messrs. Kinney & Whelan take this
method of informing the public, that
under the recent decision of Judge
Lawson they will continue to sell
liquor on their license up to the first
of January, 1887. 22 4t
