Headquarters for Toys and Fire works at Mrs. S. D. Wootten's. See advertisement. 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 25c per pound—former price 85c. 20 tf.] S. Barrett. Do all the good you can in the com munity in which you live, and thus scatter blessings while living that will “smell sweet in the dust” and leave a fragrant memory when you are dead. 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. — THE BEST TONIC.

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 Last Saturday morning was dark and dreary—sleet covered the ground and icicles hung from the roofs of houses and trees.
