In another place in this paper may
be seen the advertisement of Mr. Sol.
Barrett, who has an excellent stock of
Groceries and proposes to sell them
on as reasonable terms as any of his
competitors.
We call the special attention of our
lady readers to the advertisement of
Messrs. P. J. Cline & Co. in this pa
per. If they aregnot induced to call
at his store with the cash to secure
some of his wonderful bargains, we
are mistaken in our estimate of their
taste and their shrewdness in matters
of business.
An infant child, six or eight
months old, of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T.
Whilden, died after a short illness on
Wednesday night last. Funeral ser
vices were conducted by Revs. D.
McQueen and T. H. Gibson, at the
family residence and a number of
sympathising friends were present
and accompanied the sorrowing fam
ily and the remains of their beloved
one to the city cemetery to be buried.
The following youths acted as pall
bearers: Isaac Newell, Clyde Taylor,
Thos. Conn, Eddie Hines, Charlie
Barrett, Miller Bell and Bulow Camp
bell.
Mr. Whilden had been called to
Charleston only a few days previous
ly to see a brother, who was very ill
and who died shortly after his arrival
there. The double lose of those so
dear to him occuring so nearly at the
same time, was no doubt a heavy
trial of his fortitude aud called forth
the sinoere sorrow and sympathy of
his many friends.
Bill Arp’i Visit to Milledgeville.
In Bill Arp’s letter to the Atlanta
Constitution of Sunday last, we find
the following allusion to his recent
visit to Milledgeville:
I was down to Milledgeviile last
week, that good old town of meino-
ries great memories—the old time
honored capital, where the great
statesmen of antebellum days were
wont to congregate. It is classic and
consecrated ground. My memory
went back to the days of Troup and
Clark, and the Crawfords, and John
Forsyth and Berrien, who were stars
of the first magnitude, and whom
Georgians will never forget. Then I
came along down the corridors of
time to their peers of another gener
ation whom I personally knew and
reverenced. Twenty-one years ago I
met them there, for we had called
for their, counsel in an effort to re
construct" our shattered common
wealth. There was Jenkins and Cobb,
and Aleck Stephens and his brother
Linton, and Toombs and Ben Hill
and Herschel Johnson, and now they
are dead—all dead. The state house
has been converted into a college, and
has in training over 500 pupils, more
in fact than any other college in the
state. General D. H. Hill’s reputation
as an educator and disciplinarian has
already placed this institution among
the first in the State. He wears well
both mentally and physically. I had
not seen him for twenty-three years
and he had not greatly changed.
What a pure and noble record has
been his since the war. Would that
all our brave generals had such an
one.
The old McComb’s house is still on
the corner. If it could only tell all
that its walls have heard what a his
tory could be written. Great men
took lodging there—all the great men
of the last generation, and there was
strategy and wit and anecdote and
eloquence unsurpassed.
But Milledgeville is neither dead nor
asleep. She is enjoying a quiet and
steady prosperity. New buildings
are going , up all the time, and her
people are calm and serene. A bet
ter hotel I have not found anywhere.
And that alone, will give a town a
good reputation. I journeyed from
Milledgeville to Gordon and arrived
before breakfast but not before the
Constitution of that morning’s date
had reached there.

Water, Water! Water!
We have again been subjected to another FLOOD OF WATER in our store. We have used every effort, night and day, to keep things
dry. We have not been able to display our handsome stock of DRESS GOODS for over a week, having to stack them up in the rear of
the store, on account of the water, and as the month of December is the time to sell these goods, they must be sold at SOME PRICE
and for the
Case’s Christmas Presents.
We call the special attention of our
readers to the advertisement of Mr.
C. L. Case in this paper. The mere
reading of it will make one wish he
had a big purse full of hard cash, be
fore subjecting himself to the tempta
tion and longings for all sorts of en
ticing “things of beauty,” which will
greet the eyes of those who call at Mr.
Case’s emporium of Xinas goods. Go
and take a look at his tasteful display
and then set yourself to calculate
what you can afford to buy with the
amount you have determined to de
vote to such purposes.
Iron and Machinery Company.
On Thursday night the stockhold
ers of the Milledgeville Iron and Ma
chinery Company met at the office of
Mr. E. D. Treanor and organized by
the election of the following officers:
President—G. W. McMillan.
Secretary and Superintendent—C.
G. Wilson.
Treasurer—T. T. Windsor.
These officers together with Adolph
Joseph, T. W. Turk, Sam’l Evans,
and E. D. Treanor form the board of
Directors. The company hope to have
their machinery in position and be
gin work early in January. The en
terprise is in* good hands and will,
doubtless, be successful, proving ben
eficial to the community as well as the
stockholders.
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
We are getting things in shape again
and we beg our customers to bear
with us and we will promise to put
them to as little inconvenience as pos
sible; and we promise you bargains,
as our goods must be sold at some
prices. P. J. Cline & Co.

P. J. Cline & Co. are offering bar
gains this week. They have not been
able to use their dress goods’ side
scarcely at all in over a week on ac
count of store leaking, and they are
offering their fine combination dress
goods, with trimmings to match every
piece, at 50 cents on the dollar. Now
is your time to see them; don’t fail to
read their advertisement today.
For the next thirty days we will
sell our entire stock of Ladies’, Misses’
and children’s cloaks at exactly what
they cost for the cash—everything
will be sold only for cash.

We will sell our ENTIRE STOCK of Ladies’ Box Combination Suits with Trimmings to match every dress,
At Exactly 50 cents on the Dollar, one-half of our Regular Price!
We mean exactly what we say, and pledge our word to sell them at that price, as we are compelled to have money. Of course you
will be subjected to some inconvenience, but you can stand that for a little while to get these goods at EXACTLY HALF their value, and
we cannot, and will not sell them except for the CASH.
We will sell our entire stock of Ladies’, Misses’ and Children’s Cloaks, including all the new styles, both long and short, at EXACTLY
WHAT THEY COST US. We cannot afford to carry them over, and from past experience, we can’t tell what minute they may all be
ruined. We invite you especially to come, and COME AT ONCE. Many of you have priced these goods before, and you will know
yourself whether what we say is true or not.
We are Going Through all Glasses of Goods,
And we are determined to sell at SOME PRICE. While it may not be very pleasant for you, if it should be raining, we will pledge our
selves to make it up in PRICES. Bring the cash and don’t delay.

Death of Mrs. Oscar L. Brown.
It is with sincere regret that we are
called upon to announce the death of
Mrs. Laura Brown, the wife of Mr.
Oscar L. Brown, which occurred at
their residence in the western part of
this county, on Thursday last. This
lady was a Miss Lane before her mar
riage, and by education and personal
traits of character was calculated to
make her home a haven of happiness
for her husband and children and a
place of refined social enjoyment for
her friends and neighbors. She had
only reached her twenty-eighth year
when, after having had an attack of
measles, she became the victim of
some of those insidious after results,
which not infrequently make that
disease so dangerous to grown per
sons She leaves a husband and
three children, the severity of whose
loss can be estimated by none but
themselves. Her remains, after suit
able funeral services, -were buried on
Friday in the family burial lot at the
Lane homestead.
