Milledgea’ille, December 28, 1886.
Oar printers have taken the usual
vacation that the Christmas holidays
bring. Hence we issue only a half
sheet this v>eek, and are compelled

much interesting matter.
Death of Mr. John M. Clark.
Mr. John H, Clark, one of our oldest
and most highly esteemed citizens, died
at his home in this city, on the night
of Tuesday, 21st instant. He had at
tended an entertainment given by the
ladies of the Episcopal Church and
while enjoying the pleasures of the
occasion, he was suddenly stricken
with apoplexy. Kind friends soon
removed him to bis residence, and
the best medical . treatment was
promptly administered; but nothing
availed to check the formidable dis
ease, which reached a fatal termina
tion’ in some six hours after the com
mencement of the attack.
Mr. Clark was a native of Philadel
phia but was removed to New York
while quite young. There he remain
ed till he grew to manhood when he
went to Savannah and made that
city his home till about the year 1851,
when lie removed to Gordon a,nd re
mained there live years. He then
came to Milledgeville and established
himself in the drug business, which
lie continued during the remainder of
his life. He was probably the most
accomplished pharmacist in the State
and had the unbounded confidence
of the physicians and of the people of
all classes in this .place and the sur
rounding country and was well kno wn
throughout Georgia for his scientific
AttSCiipnents, ' _ , . ;■
Tfre deceased was .so < r6t*wig. -a®*
TTO$ietaonstrative iii, his. disposition
lh^t probably few persons; yre*#
aware of the unobtrusive charities
he -was in the habit of bestowing
upbfi those who were in need of his
help, but the beneficiaries of his ben-
fiV.Qicnce will doubtless feel that they
haye lost a, generous friend. One of
hifT instructions to his clerks was that
when any one came to his store for
medicine for the sick and had no mon
ey to pay for it, they should let
them have it without compensation.
He was for a. number of years a most
valuable member of the State Board
of Pharmacv and he was also a faith
ful member of the Masonic fraternity.
He was sixty-six years old and leaves
a wife and an adopted daughter
whose loss no one can estimate, but
themselves and whose affliction is of
too sacred a character to bring into
this brief notice. Our community has
lost one of its most useful and highly
valued citizens and we can scarcely
hope that his place will ever be filled.
His funeral services were conducted
at the Episcopal Church—of which
the deceased was a member—by the
rector, Rev. R. W. Anderson, and the
church was filled and many were com-
oelled to remain out of doors of those
wno had assembled. After the ser-
' vices at the church a large number
proceeded to the cemetery with the
remains, to witness their consignment
to rheir last earthly resting place.
Death of Mr. Sam’l. H. Jemison.
The death of the above named gen
tleman which occurred at the resi
dence of his brother, Mr. R. W. Jem
ison, in Macon, on Wednesday morn
ing last, was a sad ending to what
might otherwise have been a brilliant
career. He bad the mental endow
ments, the energy and the social
traits to command success in the bat
tle of life, and to justify him in as
piring to a distinguished position in
his profession—the law—and in polit
ical life. He had risen by bis own
force of ch*™ 1 1 '
orator:
as we
place m|
for those Honors arid emoluments
which depend upon the good will of
the people. He had besides those
traits of character which command
strong attachnients, and generous,
unselfish impulses, which made him
a firm and unflinchjng friend in the
time of need to those who had claims
upon his frieri'dtihi^ and even to
those under the pressure of misfor
tune who had no such claims.
While a portion of his boyhood was
spent with near relatives in Louisiana,
he was for some time a schoolboy
in this place, and one of his pleasant
characteristics was the tenacity with
which he cherished the attachments
which he then formed with his school
fellows and the warm reciprocal re
gard which they entertained for him
in after life; thus showing his posses
sion in his earlier years of a warm
heart and a generous nature, traits
which adorned his character to the
end of his life.
He was educated, in part, at Wash
ington and Lee University, at Lex
ington, Va., where he attracted the

Milledgeville, Ga., Dec. 27th, 1886. 25 4m
After having suffered from an at
tack of rheumatism for a few days,
Gen. John A. Logan, U. S. Senator
from the state of Illinois, died at
Washington city on Sunday last.
An old colored man usually called
Judge Calhoun, very small of stature,
quite conspicuous on our streets, al
ways wearing a leather band just
-above the knee, died a day or two
.ago. %
We regret to say that Mr..and Mrs.
Wm. A. Walker lost their-only child,
■George, an infant, on • Tuesday last,
by that fearful disease,, pneumonia.
— He was buried iu orir* city cem
etery on Wednesday,- after, tpe cus
tomary funeral services conducted Jay:
Rev. A. J. Beck. The bereaved pa
rents have our sincere sympathy.
The Masonic supper announced to
~fake place last night, was postponed
indefinitely on account of the .death
'«f Mr. John M. Clark, who: was. an
j» , ©ored member of the fraternity,
amd a Past Master of Benevolerit
•Lodge. _
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Wall have
been visited by an affliction, one. of
the most difficult to submit to with
resignation, in the death of a child,
nearly two years old. It died on Tues
day last of Pneumonia, which was
preceded by an attack of measles. It
was buried in our cemetery on Wed
nesday, after the usual services, con-
-ducted by Rev. A. J. Beck. We
sympathise with the afflicted pa
rents in their sorrow’.
By reference to his advertisement
j ;i another column it will be seen that
Mr. Louis H. Andrews has engaged in
the brokerage business. We are
pleased to be able to say from our
personal acquaintance with him and
our knowledge of his xiast business
life that iu our opinion he -will prove
to be a capable, honorable and ener
getic young man in conducting the
business he has undertaken. It is al
ways pleasant to have the good will
and commendation of those with
whom one has been associated in
-business and in this case, Mr. An
drews, who has been employed in the
large business house of W. T. Conn
& Co. for several years past, has the
sincere good will and high apprecia
tion of Capt. Cpnn and Mr. A. J.
Carr, both of whom expressed them
selves to the above effect in conver
sation with the writer, of this notice.
We trust our young friend will be sus
tained by our business men in his
new enterprise and achieve sucli a
measure of succese as we believe lie
will deserve.

terms of the brilliant mental endow
ments and scholastic attainments of his
young pupil from Georgia. He was
engaged tor a short time in several
different avocations before he settled
down to his final prof ession, the law,
in which he achieved great distinc
tion for so young a man arid especial
ly rose to a high rank as a ready and
most forcible, popular speaker. His
triumphs in the legal contests before
the Macon courts, are among the no
table events in the memory of those
who, were witnesses of them,
Qn the occurrence of Mr. Jemison’s
death, the Macon bar convened and
passed resolutions expressive of their
high estimate of his character and
abilities and of their condolence with
his afflicted fainily and appointed a
committee of its members to accom
pany liis remains to this city, where
they were buried in our city cemete
ry in, the lot where his father and
others of his family, who had reached
the end of the journey of life before
him,-had been laid away in “the city
of the dead.” A number of our citi
zens, many of whom had known him
here, in his youthful days, joined the
sad procession and assisted m paying
the last tribute of respect to his re
mains, the Rev. Donald McQueen of
this city, having conducted the funer
al services at the grave.
Invites his 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 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 hq is run out by the
Brother who proposes td dh^eifstj}!. Mm* 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 siz©.* He will endeavor, by STRICT HONESTY, and
polite attentioil,. to merit a full share of the public patronage, and
if successful hi .business, will promise to do all he can to build up
the interest of the city that has so kindly received him.
