The Bank and Post Office paid due respect to Christmas day. Services were held at St, Stephen’s Episcopal church on Christmas morn ing at 11 o’clock. Aaron Randall, colored, half broth er of Peter O’Neal died Sunday morn ing. The more weighty matters having been arranged may we not hope that the small amount due the printer is held in reserve and will be forthcom ing this week. Persons having beef cattle for sale, will do well to confer with Mr. J. P. Sweaneyof this place before dispos ing of their stock. See advertisement in another column. There was a fine display of fire works in parts of the city Christmas night: That on the hill, near the res idence of Dr. Callaway was particu larly brilliant and attractive. For the first time in the history of Milledgeville the saloons were closed during the Christmas holidays, and the improvement in good order on the streets was gratifying to the friends of temperance. The entertainment at Amusement Hall on last Tuesday night, gotten up by the ladies of the Episcopal church, was largely attended and greatly en joyed. Our curtailed proportions does not allow a more extended no tice. On Sunday last Rev. J. R. King apppiuted the following committee to look into the question of repairing the Methodist church, viz: T. F. New ell, W. T. Conn, J. Caraker. Dr. T. O. Powell, C. P. Crawford, G. T. Whil- den, M. Hines, E. E. Bell, and J. N. Moore. All who want good liquor would do well to call on Messrs. Kinney & Whelan, who will certainly close that branch of their business on Friday, 81st instant. [24 2t. We invite attention to the adver tisement of Mr. J. B. Pound, who has started a first class butcher business in this city. For the past few days he has had excellent fresh meats on sale, at the store recently vacated by Mr. Ball. Give him a call. On Christmas evo a colored woman from the country called at the store of Mr. Adler, and inquired, “Has you got any cordial for sale.” Mr. A. replied, “yes, we have but one left, walk this way,” and he took the wo man in and sold her an accordeon. Jug Perry vouches for the truth of this story. The Thursday night cottage, prayer meeting was held last week lit the Methodist parsonage. By precon certed arrangement, a large party went in a body carrying gifts for t&eir beloved pastor and his estima ble wife. Rev. W. R. Branham, who was visiting at the parsonage, led the meeting, and a most happy thanks- givin g service waB the sequel. BROWN-MOORE, At the residence of Mr. Charles An drews in Jones county, on Wednes day last, Mr. Hal Brown and Miss Sallie, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Lueco M. Moore, were united in marriage, Rev. T. H. Gibson, offi ciating. Mr. Brown is a young man of sterling worth and his fair and ac complished bride possesses all those womanly graces and Christian virtues that make refined and happy homes. The Union-Recorder unites with the many friends of the worthy young couple Sin wishing that their united lives may he long, happy and useful. On Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the Christmas celebration by the Methodist Sunday School came off according to the programme publish ed last week. The church was beau tifully decorated with smilax and flowers, and the chandeliers were lighted. Above the altar appeared the motto, “The Babe in the Man ger,” and on the side walls, “To us a Child of Hope is Born; Glory to God in the Highest; On earth Peace and Good Willtoward Men.” The church was fillet^ with people, who were de lighted with' the exercises. A pleas ing feature of the joyous occasion, hot down on the. programme, was the presentation to Mr. E. E. Bell of a writing and gold pencil. Mr. Bell has been the Secretary of the Sunday School for several years. The officers and teachers determined to present him with a token of their ap preciation of his faithful services and thought this a suitable occasion. Capt. T. F. Newell was commissioned to make the presentation, which he did in very pleasant manner, alluding in complimentary terms to Mr. B’s. connection with the school as scholar, teacher and secretary. Mr. Bell was taken completely by surprise, but in a few modest but appropriate words expressed his thanks for the highly appreciated present. At the close of the exercises a collection for the poor of the city was taken up, amounting tb*28J7. Mr. Polk Hammond of Savannah is in the city. Capt. H.

Milledgeville, Dec.>6, ’86. 2$ 3t. -General delivery HALL’S There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incura ble. For a great many years Doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment pronounced it incurable. Sci ence has proven Catarrh to be a con stitutional disease, and therefore re quires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co’., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure now on the market. It i s taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly upon the blood and mucus surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circular and testimonials. Address F. J.
