After a lunch of cake, etc., enjoyed
with a few friends, the happy couple

them. The Union-Recorder extends
congratulations and good wishes to
all concerned.
“Why do not the Georgia and Cen
tral Railroads have a baggage room
at their respective depots in this city.”
The above question was asked us
by a gentleman the other day. We
didn’t know ; indeed we supposed as
a matter of course, that at least a
place was provided at each of the de
pots for baggage and on the arrival
of every train, if ft passenger stop
ping here held his checks his baggage
would be put in the depot and kept
until called for : or if baggage was
sent to the depot before the arrival of
a train it would be taken care of un
til placed upon the train. If such is
not the case, we think our Business
Union should ask the authorities to
provide a room where baggage can
not only be stored but checked.
DAMAGES FOR A LEAK.
P. J. Cline Sues W. T. Conn for Five
Thousand Dollars.
Mii,ledgeviLLE, (ia„ January 13.—[Spe
cial.! P. J. Cline oi this city, entered a suit
to-day against W.T. Conn for five thou
sand dolling,,to recover damages caused by
leaks from the recent snow. A piece oi
paper was found over the mouth of the
gutter some time since. The case will
probably turn Into a sensation. Under the
circumstances there Is good reason for
suspicion.
[COMMUNICATION.]
Union & Recorder :
Milledgeville, Ga.:
Messrs. Editors:—Hundreds of
your readers will wonder what the
above means, as thousands of others
have done after seeing it in the Atlan
ta Constitution. Theewriter say* a
sensation will be causedl Well it is
not necessary for me to tell yowr read
ers that a sensationalist is the author,
his name is Charles Brantley.
The article was written by Charles
Brantley as the correspondent of the
Constitution. Most of your readers
know that Brantley is a nephew of
W. T. Conn. 1 wish to state here as
1 stated before that I don’t believe
Mr. Conn knew any more about the
publication than I did, and that first
lie knew of it was from the columns
of the Constitution; that had lie
known it, it would never have appear
ed. I say this in justice to Mr. W. T.
Conn.
Tne article appeared in the Atlan
ta Constitution on the morning of
tiie 14th (Friday). As soon ns I read
it, I telegraphed Mr. Mapp to give
me the name of the correspondent; he
answered, Charles Brantley. 1 sent
a communication to Atlanta Consti
tution saying Brantley was a nepli-
«'W of W. T. Conn, a young man of
dissipated habits and unreliable.
That night after sending dispatch, I
had a telegram from Mr. Mapp, say-
ing|Brantley denied most emphatically
that lie had anything to do with tin*
sending of it. On receipt of same I
telegraphed Constitution to withdraw
my personal remarks if Brantley was
not the guilty one as lie had denied
R- I did not wish to expose the
young man unless I hud sufficient
cause but in this case Messrs. Editors,
■■ feel that this is a‘desperate case anti
as you know it requires desperate
remedies; for the above card In the
meaning} which Brantley intended
to convey, was of tlip most villianous
nature, as if the paper lmd been plac
ed in the gutter by myself, Mr. Mapp
nr some of our employes. My card
appeared in Saturday morning’s Con
stitution but the personal remarks
were left out; of course I thought
1 lmd the wrong man.
Saturday morning, a representative
of the Constitution visited your city
■or the purpose of finding out all
about the matter. Saturday at noon,
-nr. Mapp telegraphed me that
, lai'los Brantley had acknowledged
->e was the author. 1 then tele
graphed Mr. Mapp that if Charles
lantley did not go before an officer,
•uni under oath, say lie had done me
nn mjustice, 1 would publish him us
a drunkard and a liar, both of which
ue has proved himself to be.

Shall We Meet Beyond The River?
For the Union Recorder:
The object of these linos is not to try to
prove to the mind of the reader the Immor
tality of tin soul; for that has been taught
us both by reason and Scripture; but to
awaken a gr alter interest in reference to
the future—to get (tie mind more detached,
disengaged mul lined from the concerns of
this busy world. We are in constant dan
ger of letting our earthly Interests so ab
sorb our minds and ongnge our attention,
vnd take up our time, as to leave not half
for God, and but little time it any, in ac
tual preparation to meet Hliu In another
world, where wo may onjoy endless life
and perpetual bliss.
This woild in its mighty rush is bearing
us onward, revealing to us Its gorgeous
scenes, Its captivating and wonderful at
tractions—its exquLilo beauties, and dis
playing Its shining gold and its dazzling
diamonds—Its magnificent temples and
gigantic castles—and offering to some at
Fast, a world wide fame, and almost Inex
haustible treasures with a life of long con
tinued pleasures.
Then Hatan comes in for a share, and
offers all these things to the man. who will
full down and worsblp him. He would
urge us ou and persuade us, that it Is time
enough yet, to consider about eternal
things, lie will suggest to us tbat ws
have not time to read so much that dry
book they call the Bible—you have not
time to gel to Church so much and to
pray, and to contribute your hard earned
money to tiie support and spread of the Gos
pel,—and that you have yourself and fami
ly to support and four children to educate
and a competency to leave them, when you
shall have passed away. Lot us never let
the world nor Satan defiaud us out of our
salvation and eternal glorification In heav-
eu. Ill this world’s mighty sweep, lot us
pause often, and think much ubout God
and our eternal home, and try to make our
“calling and election sure. ”
The bending heavens above us are freight
ed with, the blessings of Immortality and
are ready to diffuse upon us riches far
more valuable and durable than this world
or Satan can produce. And a kind and In-
linlte God offers to us on His own terms,
If we will accept, an eternal residence in
the city or gold-an Inheritance Incorrupti
ble, undeflled, and that fadeth not away,
and a crown of life that shall never fade—
a robe of rlgbtousness bright as the euu,
that shall never wear out uor grow dim In
the cyclos of eternity. Theie we shall
have access to the tree of life, and eat and
live forever. And the Lamb, wtikch Is In
the midst of the throne, sball feed us, and
lead us to fountains of living water. And
there shall be no night there. And there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor
sighing-andGod shall wipe away all tears
from our eyes, lu the whirl and bustle of
this world my friend will you stop awffile,
and let me ask, “Shalt we meet there—
shall we meet beyond the river?”
We are emigrants, bound for another
world. We will soon he done witli tills—
the appointed time makes haste. We tiavs
witnessed the departure or some of own
most Intimate friends and relatives. We
have followed a dear mother, or father, or
wife, or husband, or sister, or brother, or
u bweat little child, down to the brink of the
river—the last river—the river that divides
tldB heavenly land and ours, and there we
have taken the parting hand with those
welovod, and there wo saw them the last
time until we cross over. Whut thoughts
pierced our inmost souls at the separaiion 1
Our feelings were simply indescribable,
and our hearts filled with sorrow, lacerated
and torn and our eyes diffused with bui n-
lng tears. But we have seen some or
those loved ones while being borne
upon the bosom of the river of death, wave
the hand as the signal of victory, and
hem d them shout back to their comrades
on this mortal shore, “All is well, all u
well. Meet ino iu Heaven. 1? are well \ am
w >rld ,i’m going home. I’m going home to
die no more.”
Slml) we meet them my brethren, shall
we meet beyond ihe river I
Some of us have been here a long time
out- reet are hard by the toinb-.-wo are
approaching near the rivers brink. Dis
ease and decrepitude warn us of our ap
preaching dissolution. Whisperings are
coming from the Immortal shore and the
b‘ckonings of long lost friends for us u
get ready und couie away to the land or
Beu ah, watching and waiting, and won
dering perhaps why it is we are tarrying
so long in the land of sin and death. May
light from the Cross ot the world s Re
deemer Illuminate our souls and Irradiate
the dark waters or shadows of death, so
that we shall not fear; having the rod
and staff of Jehovah to support and com
fort us. Shall we meet my brethren, shall
we meet beyond the rivet?”
Young man, young lady, stop awhile, and
lot me ask you, shall you meet that pious
mother of yours, beyond the river. Do
you remember when she was strutftfliiiff
with deatn. how she laid her dying hand
upon your head and said, “My child, meet
rue in Heaven?” Do you remember how
you felt, and what you promised then? IT
you art? not preparing, don t l»*t Hatan
nor the world influence you to adjourn ' his
matter of preparation over, to an luUetiinte
time. My advice Is NOW :
“O think or the friends over there.
Who before us the journey have troil,
Of the songs that they breathe on the air.
In theii home in tiie palace of God.
“I’ll soon bo at homo over there,
For tli end of my journey l see;
Many dear to my heart over i here.
Are watching and waiting tor me,
“Over there, over there,
() think or a home over there;
Over there, over there,
O think of a home over there.
Will every body join us with a hearty
good will and sing these lines? Let the
children, the little children join in the
chorus and praise the Lord in song. We
all have friends.over there

THEATRICAL.
On Tuesday night last, the pleasant
and spirited comedy of Dagmar was
presented at the Opera House by the
Louise Balfo Troupe. Miss Balfe
personating the principal charcter,
Dagmar. This charming young ac
tress has received the warm commen
dations of the press wherever she has
been, so far as we know, and we may
probably do wliat is simple justice to
her by saying that her performance
here fully justified the praise so free
ly bestowed upon her elsewhere.
Miss Balfe was handsomely support
ed by the other members of the com
pany, and the troupe will no doubt
meet with a warm reception here, if
they should come back at some timo
in the future. ^

growing Ebenezer, that marks the
progress of the kingdom of Jesus
among the women of China, through
the instrumentality of our society.
May the loving Master roar the col

all the “regions beyond.” We tender
earnest sympathy to those who knew
her better and loved her more. Aiul
we accept this chastening as from

Superior Court.
The Superior Court convened yes
terday, its regular time of meeting,
and Judge Jenkins made his first ap
pearance in court as Judge of the
Oomulgee Circuit. This gentleman is
better known in some other counties
of his circuit than he is here, hut his
ability and acquirements as a lawyer
will cause our citizens to expect from
him a good administration of his
office.
Owing to sickness of some of the
lawyers who practice in this court or
of members of their families, which
would prevent their attendance at
this time, the Judge, after having the
Grand and Petit jurors sworn, ad
journed the court to the first Monday
iu February, which will bo the 7th of
that month.

that crowns a life of unusual self-de

with God, and was not; for God took
her. A. L. N.
