Newell has returned from a visit to his Baker county plan tation. Kindness and politeness among sis ters and brothers is a lovely sight and makes a happy home. Mr. J. O. Bonner having returned to his plantation, the Asylum back is now run by Mr. Neal. We are pleased to hear that it is probable that Col. Humber will move to this city. Judge D. B. Sauford visited Greene and Oconee counties last week on professional business. Mrs. Anna Brooks, widow of the late Rev. J. H. Brooks, will move to this city and open a boarding house. Dr. W. R.

See ad vertisement. Rev. Julius Magratb, the Hebrew Missionary, preached in the Metho dist church in this city, last Sunday, morning and night. Mrs. A. V. DuBignon was called to Savannah last week on account of the serious illness of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. F. G. DuBignon. The full amount realized by the Baptist Supper, and turned over to Judge L. H. Thomas, Treasurer of the building committee, was $90.10. 4 Mrs. E. T. Ailing and family will go to St. Andrews Bay, Florida, to take charge of a hotel at that place. Mill edgeville will lose an estimable family in their departure. Mr. John J. Wooten of Milledge ville, was in town this week.

Barnes, of Scottsboro made about one hundred gallons of scuppernong wine this year. He is of fering it for sale at $1.50 per gallon. It is an excellent article. Miss Sadie Hall, daughter of Dr. W. H.

Mr. Hol lingshead will occupy the Daniel Tucker mansion. Bishop J. W. Beckwith preached an eloquent and impressive sermon at St. Stephen’s church last Sunday morn ing, from the text “To be carnally minded is death.” After the sermon he confirmed a class of four persons. Our young friend Frank Cullens, now a compositor on the Macon Tele graph, came over last Tuesday to see his friends in this city. Frank took his first lessons in the art of printing in this office. He is intelligent and energetic and we hope he will have a successful career. MIDWAY PARAGRAPHS. Under the nearly full moon the earth presented a very beautiful ap pearance Monday and Tuesday nights. Two years hence no intelligent, right feeling man will regret the stand that Baldwin county has taken on the li quor question.* Where in the world are Gunner Ranloff, Patsy Talwer and Sindy Grabbs? Let them apply at once at the Asylum for valuable information. The Asylum Thespians have in re hearsal an entertaining- programme for the Christmas holidays. In the middle ages it required a right smart man to make an accepta ble fool, but nowadays just let an ig noramus get hold of the idea that he is “smart” and you will have as fine a specimen of a fool as you will wish to see. 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 tion of Mrs. T. O. Powell. During the past ten or twelve years decline has been written on nearly every commodity in this locality ex cepting wood. Twelve years ago when flour was $11.00 per barrel, su gar, 16 cents, bacon, 12 to 15, corn, $1.25, the current price of wood was $2.25 and $2.50, and it remains the same now. Boys, it is only ten days to Christ mas. It would have done the genial heart of Charles Dickens good to have scan ned the last advertised list of the P. O. Three names there he would have eagerly seized upon and brought them into fame. Why, asked a great philosopher, do men so readily acknowledge having a bad memory and never complain of their bad judgment? We are likely to forget the dust of October in the mud of December. The denizens of our precinct were thrown into a very cold chill Wednes day morning by the sudden appear ance of the tax gatherer among them with his book under his arm. (What’s more persistent than taxes?) An ancient saying but replete with sound advice—they who live in glass houses should not throw stones. It is reported that the Junior mem ber of one of your leading dry-goods’ houses encountered the rough hands of the tender sex in his visit here last Tuesday. The snow rolling band got hold of him. Having assumed the office of hero-ol- ogist for this district, we hold our en comiastic pen in readiness to insert it into its inkhorn on any reasonable ex cuse. (No salary is attached to this position from the fact that there is no probability of any work being re quired.) 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.

His lungs are threatened more seriously than ever, and his phy sician demands that he go to Florida at once. The Senator has found Thomasville the best climate for him self, and will probably spend the month there.—Constitution. 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.

Oil City Derrick. “The Two Johns.”—The Opera House was crowded from top to bot tom last evening with one of the most hilarious audiences that has assem bled there this season. The occasion was the presentation of the new com edy entitled “The Two Johns,” and to say it was a sucoess would be to E ut it mild. Laugh! Well, we never card an andlenee laugh so much in onr life. The Comedy is made up of some of the strongest situations im aginable, and, with such comedians as the old-time John Stewart and Paul Dresser, there is nothing left un done to make it the funniest of all comedies. . The supporting company is all that is required, and the singers some of the best that have appeared on onr local boards. Mr. Pringie s bill providing for in struction in physiology and hygiene, with special reference to the effect of alconolic. stimulants on the human system, in all the publie schools of this State, was lost in the senate on Friday.

Milledgeville, Dec. 7th, ’86. 22 2t §. 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.
