Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of
last week presented us with some roy
al weather for this season of the
year. The boys and girls had a good
time snow-balling and the fun was
not confined to the youthful. The
old gal and the old boy participated
with equal zest.
Neuralgia, croup and colds were
common enough last week.
We regret to learn of the indisposi

$1.25, the current price of wood was
$2.25 and $2.50, and it remains the
same now.

The Wife.
I have often had occasion to re
mark the fortitude with which women
sustain the most overwhelming re
verses of fortune. Those disasters
which break down the spirit of a man
and prostrate him in the dust seem to
call forth all the energies of the softer
sex and give such intrepidity and ele
vation to their character that at times
it approaches to sublimity. Nothing
can be more touching than to behold
a gentle and tender woman who had
been all weakness and dependence
and alive [to every trivial roughness
while treading the prosperous paths
of life suddenly rising in mental force
to be the comforter and supporter of
her husband under misfortune and
abiding with unshrinking firmness the
bitterest blasts of adversity.—Wash
ington Irving.
How many of such women we have
seen in the South in the past twenty
vears !
All Hail! Let Baldwin Rejoice. LOCAL AND BUSINESS NOTICES.
For the Union & Recorder.
I do not rejoice over a fallen rival,
neither will I exult at the misfortunes
and calamities that came upon oth
ers; but rather commisserate all such
in their sufferings. I do rejoice when
general good comes to all—and this I
believe will be the result of prohibi
tion. Others may think differently,
and may have taken a different view
of the subject. If I could have look
ed through a glass and have seen no
evil arising from whiskev,'and that
it was an article indispensible to the
general good of society, I suppose I
should have fought prohibition as
hard as any of them. But the glass
through which I looked magnified
the evil of it so greatly, that I have,
with many others, thrown my weight
of influence against it, let that be
much or little. And now I am glad
to know, that the sale of whiskey as a
beverage, in Baldwin county,* is a
thing of the past, only. And now,
I want to congratulate our citizens
for having been successful in the con
test against the whiskey god, in com
pletely dethroning him, in wiping out
his bacchanalian feasts, in drying up
his watery precincts, in purifying the
atmosphere impregnated with the
elements of destruction, and in which
has been floating so long, the miasma
of death, and in driving away wretch
edness and ruin, and irradiating the
homes of hundreds of people. One
of the grandest and most glorious vic
tories ever achieved by human”instru-
mentality. The benefits arising from
such can never be recounted, can
never be told.
And now, let this comprehensive
word “dry” in legible characters, be
delineated upon the face of our sky,
with letters of refined gold, spanned
by a rainbow of the most beautiful
colors and a mighty index finger of
burnished brass pointed downward to
every man, woman and child; mean
ing that all are to be the recipients
and benficiaries of all that is compre
hended in that term—sobriety,
peace, prosperity and happiness.
These things we hope to transmit to
our children and to our children’s
children, on down the stream of time
to succeeding generations, until the
angel of the Apocalypse shall descend
and declare, that time shall be no
more. I will not forget to invoke
blessings upon the head of the Ordi
nary of Baldwin county, who was in
office, A. D., 183G, during the contest
for the expulsion of the sale of ardent
spirits, for invaluable services render
ed. Let distinguished honors be
placed upon his brow, and may he live
long, do much good and his sun set in
an unclouded sky. And long after he
has gone to rest, may fair hands now
living and yet unborn, gather around
his grave and scatter upon it fragrant
flowers in memory of his noble acts
in this matter. Let due praise be
given to all who contributed to aid in
this good cause. Above all, let ever
lasting praise be given to Him who
has done all things well; who con
trols the destiny of nations and holds
the world in his hand. Yes, praise
Him, who in answer to prayer, over
ruled and controlled the minds and
actions of men in the elections of last
March, and gave us this victory—vic
tory over this great foe of mankind,
now dead, buried and never to be res
urrected again.

Mr. Wm. Harper, Sr., of Midway,
was attacked by a hawk while squir
rel-hunting in a swamp a week or two
ago. The hawk darted down and
seized his hat with its claws, when
a struggle for the hat ensued. As the
hawk flew away onr surprised friend
hurriedly fired at it without effect,
and found himself with a torn hat and
a clawed hand.
We learn that the Rev. A. J. Beck,
on Sunday last, tendered his resigna
tion as pastor of the Baptist chnrch
in this pi see and that his congregation
deferred action upon the matter until
next Sunday. We understand that
Mr. Beck proposed to go to Florida
with the family of his father-in-law,
Mr. Ailing, with a view to taking up
his residence in that State, should his
interests, after due investigation, seem
Xo warrant him in so doing.
We feel assured that the removal of
Mr. Beck and his family from this
place would be a cause of sincere re
gret to this community.

§. Barrett,
Invites liis friends to call and examine liis new and complete stock
of Groceries. He has endeavored to open a
First-Class Grocery Store,
in Milledgeville, and intends, so long as he continnes in business, to
keep up a full and complete stock of FRESH GOODS and to sell
just as LOW as the same goods can be sold in this or any other
market. He does not propose to cut under his Brother Merchants,
but it will be a “cold day in August” when he is run out by the
Brother who proposes to undersell him. His advantages are no
better than any other man, BUT JUST AS GOOD, and he can well
afford to meet their prices. He
Makes a Small Profit on all he Sells,
and “Don’t you forget it.” He does not sell at COST, he buys from
the best houses, pays cash, gets the benefit of cash discount, and
therefore can and will
Sell Goods as Low as Any One!
To mention the articles would be useless, suffice it to say, he has
nearly all the goods usually kept in a First-Class Grocery Store in
cities of any size. He will endeavor, by STRICT HONESTY, and
polite attention, to merit a full share of the public patronage, and
if successful in. business, will promise to do all he can to build up
the interest of the city that has so kindly received him.
