UNION & RECORDER. 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 fx> postpone to our next regular issue 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 Look Out! Look Out! To the Citizens op Milledgeville : Seeing the necessity of a first-class butcher business in this place, I have opened in the Sawyer old stand, where I will keep constantly on hand fresh beef, pork, sausage, pickled beef, Bologna sausage, pickled tripe and fresh leaf lard. All orders delivered, as I shall run a free delivery wagon. Parties having cattle and hogs to sell, will do well to see ine before selling. Will pay for good beef 4£ to 5c, dressed; pork on foot, 4£c; pork dressed, 5£c. Mr. J. L. White, having associated himself with me as salesman, will be glad to see his old customers. J B POUNDS. 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. The Quart License. Messrs. Kinney & Whelan take this method of informing the public, that finder the recent decision of Judge Lawson they will continue to sell liq nor on their license up to the first January, 1887. 22 4t 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.
