MIDWAY PARAGRAPHS.
The Dude is gradually disappearing
from the face of the earth. Natur;
will not long endure such an unsight
ly encumbrance. The man in home
spun is the coming man, apparently
The signs of the times point strong
ly to the necessity of a general return
to republican simplicity if revolution
and disorder would be successfully
combatted.
Again we are under the necessity of
arraigning the typographer of these
paragrai>hs before the tribunal of
Propriety. In last week’s paragraphs
he abbreviated the expression “older
girls” in a way that was neither ele
gant nor euphonious. It mortified us.
It will not be at all out of place this
week for the older men and women to
remember that they were boys and
girls not many years ago
The good women of this land have
no political vote and they need none
in fact. They are the power behind
the throne whenever they choose to
exercise their powerful influence on
any question. This influence would
in a great measure be lost if they par
ticipated in the contests at the ballot
box—a privilege that the true women
of the South do not seek or desire. In
the domestic circle let them be en
dowed with queenly prerogative and
then that quiet but powerful influ
ence will have its fullest play on all
questions •affecting the well-being of
man and society.
Mr. Mullarky was in from the
country a few days ago and when
questioned as to how he would vote
in the coming election said he was
plumb tired of voting this year and
would lay in bed and rest on the day
of the election. The candidates need
not waste any time on Mr. Mullarky
for he spoke with that emphasis that
politicians always condemn.
Four Great Novels.— Les Miser-
ables, Middlemarch, David Copper-
field, Ten Thousand a Year.—Have
you read them?
Miss Carrie Fair, the faithful teach
er of the youngest children in our col
lege, is visiting the family of Mr.
Frank Fair in Alabama. We trust
her holidays may be bright and hap
py and that she will return to her im
portant duties with renewed strength
and energy.
Misses Nettie and Birdie Moore re
turned home on Wednesday last at'cer
a visit of some four weeks to relatives
in Waynesboro. They speak in high
terms of the beautiful and growing
capital of the fine old county of
Burke and seemed to have derived
much pleasure from their association
with its hospitable and refined inhab
itants.
Rev. Robt. Adams has accepted a
call to become the pastor of the se
cond Presbyterian church in Macon.
This gentleman has been doing very
efficient and acceptable work as the
evangelist of Augusta Presbytery for
some time past. We congratulate
our Macon friends on obtaining his
services, but at the same time his
friends in this city and Midway will
regret that his duty will cause him
and his family to change their resi
dence from this to another commu
nity.
Mrs. Carrie S. Guyton of Laurens
county, has leased the Episcopal par
sonage building and with her family
will occupy it as a residence during
the coming year. Rev. Mr. Anderson,
it is proper to say will retain his study
in the building and may be found
there as usual.
We feel that among the number of
those who have recently determined
to make Milledgeville their future
home, none will be found a greater
acquisition to our social and moral
interests as a community than Mrs.
Guyton.
It is a pleasure to the printer to
have one of his patrons call in and

Apropos of novels said Dean Stan
ley; “No works are so penetrating,
so pervasive and none reach so many
homes and attract so many readers as
the romance of modern times. It is
this which makes a good novel pure
in style, elevating in thought, true in
sentiment, one of the best booms
to the Christian home and State.
On the other hand a bad novel (and
we have too many of such) is thus
painted by the Author of the Course
Time—
‘•It was a ’nook crammed full
Of poisnous error blackening every page
And oftener still of trifling second-hand
Remark and old, diseased putrid thought
.And miserable incident at war
With Nature with itselj and truth at war:
Yet charming the greedy reader on
Till done—he tried to recollect his thoughts
And nothing found but dreamy emptyness.”
Good novels are a blessing. Bad
novels are a curse.
In view of the revolution that
threatens to culminate in this country
as well as in Europe at no distant
day, if proper views do not prevail,
it becomes every right feeling person
to separate himself from all partisan
relation to political party and take a
bold outspoken stand for good laws
and good morals. The law must have
no discrimination of persons, and in
private life let every man practice
the great law of humanity, “Do unto
others as you would have them do
unto you.”
“Resolve not to procrastinate any
more” is the title of an advertisement
running in this paper. By reference
to it the inference may be drawn
that it is not always an unwise act to
procastinate a little. Procrastination
may sometimes be a virtue.
The great festival day of the year
is upon us. What an occasion for those
upon whom fortune has smiled to
freshen up their hearts by brightening
the heart of some of the unfortunate
and afflicted about them! Each one
if he chose might stir some sweetening
into some cup of gall.
Boys, it is only three days to Christ
mas—you may have forgotten it, and
may be the girls have too.

8. Barrett,
Invites liis friends to call and examine his new and complete stock
of Groceries. He has endeavored to open a
First-Class Grocery Store,
in Milledgeville, and intends, so long as he continues in business, to
keep up a full and complete stock of FRESH GOODS and to sell
just as LOW as the sa«e 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 be is run out by the
Brother who proposes to undersell him. His advantages are no
better than any other man, BET 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.

Married, In Baldwin Dec. 15th,

Maurice Martin and Miss Lizzie Yin-
son. At Mr. Vinson’s, the father of
the bride, we had a most excellent
supper, and when this writer left the
table he was fully satisfied—well
pleased, with himself and everybody
■else. Next day we came to Mr. *J. M.

cent dinner prepared for us—a table
groaning beneath the good things.
Had you been there Mr. Editor, I
think they would have honored you
with a seat at the table as they did
some of us old fellows—you could
then have taken time to consider
what was before you, and it would
not have been necessary for you to
