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. The Quart License. AT— P. J. CLIME & CO’S. 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.

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. MiUedgeville, Ga., Dec. 14, 1886. PETER J.
