Perhaps it is not generally known that thirteen of the male attendants at the Asylum have organized them selves into a brass band nnd supplied themselves with a oompeteut teacher, Prof. Marston, who by the by has bought Mr. liollinshead’s place and with his family has become a citizen of Midway. Having secured a debt I Imre have been no services at the Midway chapel for lol these main’ weeks. Why is this thus? It is evident that many farmers in this section are, to put it mildly, very inconsiderate of their stock in the winter time. I his you will likely find to be true— weak-minded, self-eonseious people, always on the lookout for slights are very apt to find one here and there, and sometimes everywhere. in this staid village it is no easy matter to compound u weekly Salma gundi of any extent. There are no rowdies or bullies about, consequent ly there are no tights or arrests. There are no scandalmongers, consequently there are no “sensations”; there are no railroad trAins dashing by at the mteof 01 miles au hour, consequent- „. v . ,. tv ,, 11K „ cvlUDU „ ly there are no blood-curdling aoci- of near two huudred dollars for their dents; there are no liars, tonsequent- instruments mul not being so fortu nate as to be any of them millionaires, spend" 13 -r.

In truth it runs an old woman a hard race to catch up with any interesting news items nowadays. AA’o are glad to liave questions pro pounded to us sometimes, hut the fol lowing is too hard for us. A friend asks ‘mow much longer hogs will he allowed to run “all over creation” in Baldwin county?” AVe venture the reply, however, that it will continue so long as a majority of the farmers esteem it a just and rational system to keep hogs with cast iron noses that can climb a fence and run like a deer and then expect them to get their liv ing off of their own premises. The following note we take the lib erty of including here : _ At Home, Jan. 13th. Dear Sin : I see in the last UNION- Recorder that you refer to a speech of mine made in a conversation with you some weeks ago as a ‘prediction’. Now I am no prophet nor the son of one, and any prediction so called that I may make is simply on the princi ple of putting two and two together and calling the product four. I did say, and I expect to keep on saying it, that Baldwin county occupies a posi tion now that justiueu the strongest belief that she will take a long stride in moral and material improvement. It is necessary though that all upright and intelligent citizens should lend their influence to aid and" cause to produce its legitimate effect. Ten years of prohibition in Baldwin coun ty will certainly give every industri- ' ous man in the county a home and a I competence if he wants them, and the j worst element that do not desire hon est work will soon or late emigrate out of the county which will he a very good blessing to the county. The good citizens should see to it that the law is faithfully observed, and in the meantime by moral suasion and judi cious advocacy assure the confirma tion of the law in any attempt to have it abrogated. Yours truly, J. T. Mullarky. The spirit of progress is disposed to locate in Baldwin. Let us extend her a cordial welcome and all necessary sympathy. She lias been a long time coming, hut, she came as soon as she had a hearty invitation. AVe note that the Methodist church has gone hack to the voluntary as sessment plan this year. It is proba bly the very best plan that could be adopted and doubtless will secure all necessary funds. The fact of it is, ev ery person, whether church member or not, should contribute freely for the maintenance and multiplying of churches and church sevices, for after all, they are the groundwork of our civilization and improved social con dition and stand as hostages for fu ture peace and good order. Miss Mary Thomas left Wednesday morning for Athens to visit her niece, Mrs. Lumpkin. Some people complain of not hav ing friends, seeming to forget that to secure friends one must show one’s self friendly. As “love and love only is the loan of love”, so friendship can only he bought with friendship. It cannot be purchased with many com pliments. The selfish are not dispos ed usually to pay the price, and con sequently (lo not possess themselves of enduring friendships. The scientific world doubtless is awaiting with considerable impatience the completion of the Lick Observa tory near San Francisco. The lenses fer the telescope are finished and they are said to he the finest lenses in the world. They I are three feet in diameter, weigh 700 pounds, and will cost fifty thousand dollars. This telescope is expected to bring the moon within 100 miles of us, so to speak, and may probably determine conclusively whether it is inhabited ° r not. , , , , ,, Snagley says he wished he could have been present at the last quarter ly conference. He said this after reading your account of the proceed ings. Knowing Snagley as 1 do I am satisfied it is well that he missed the fuss edifying as it must liave been. Gentlemen “let brotherly love con tinue” and pay up hack debts first. The fast train between Albany and Atlanta is styled the Cannon-Ball. The train that passes through this vil lage might appropriately be styled the Frog. Between jumps it takes quite a breathing spell; the length of which cannot be calculated to a certainty. Why is the average mortal ten-times more prompt to repeat defamatory ut terances of their fellow man than those of commendation? they have found it necessary to do vise some plan of iiqudating that debt. With that end in view they determin ed to inaugurate a seiies of pleasura ble entertainments and suppers with an unusually small admittance fee so that those who delight iu r>ueh things can help them to pay their debt and get hack more really than the worth of the small trifle they pay out. Dr. Hall too, with his well known and commendable liberality lias wisely turned to their profit—what he had undertaken for the amusement and pleasure of the unfortunate inmates. For the sole purpose of affording en joyment to the patients he liadautage erected in the large amusement hall of the male convalescent building and with some of the convalescent pa tients and attendants lie prepared and presented last week that very amusing farce, Barney the Baron. To this play the attendants and pa tients of the asylum were admitted free, hut all outsiders paid a small admittance fee, and what was realiz ed in that way Dr. Hall generous ly donated to the hand which, by the by, very well performed the part of orchestra at the play. And right here I must say that considering the fact that none of them had even at tempted to play their instruments be fore, and took their first lesson on them hardly more than two months ago, they arejplaying remarkably well, and give such fine promise of making a really first class band, that it will pay all lovers of music, who desire a permanent hand in our midst to pa tronize their entertainments liberally. As a body they are acting with com mendable independence in that though not able to purchase their in struments out of their small wages they do not beg subscriptions but pre pare to give you a full “quid pro quo” for all you pay toward helping them out. On the night of the play, week before last, they had an oyster supper, and intended to have another play OBITUARY. A fit, BAY Died of mensles? at lmr home near Carr’s Station On., Deo. 17th, 188(1, Mrs. Louisa J. Allen, in the fifty-fourth year of her ago. Sister Allen was twice married; first to Newton Rogers, of Baldwin county, Ga., in 1841), and subsequently to J. 'J’. Allen of Hancock county, Ga., in 1877. The writer can truly say that to know sister Allen was to love her. In early life, about 1885, she gave her heart to God, and united with the Methodist church at Deep Step, Washington county, Ga. She was among those faithful ones who carry along with them their religion at all times, and on all occasions. Her Christian light grew stronger and bolder even to the close of life, and as the end drew near, she fancied that she could see the “Pearly Gates’’ swinging ajar, for her entrance into the “New Jerusalem”. As a Christian she adorned her .profession with an upright walk, and chaste conversa tion; as a neighbor, kind and oblig ing; as a wife devoted and affection ate; and as a mother, faithful and in dulgent. Divine grace prepared her for every duty. Iler dying admonitions, we trust, will Jong bo remembered by those to whom they wore addressed. Her re mains were followed to their last rest ing place by a large concourse of friends and relatives, and after a short Service conducted by Mr. T. J. West, the remains were lowered into the tomb, there to rest until the arch angel’*,trump shall break the long and dreary sleep. Bleep on, dear sister, until the morn of the resurrection, when we unty he permitted to join thee in asoribing praises to the Lamb of God—our blessed Redeemer. PeareBt sister, thou hast left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel, But ’tis God, who hath bereft us, Ho can all our sorrows heal. T. J. W. Carr’s Sta., Hancock Co., Jan. 14, ’87.

Baldwin Superior CovitT, ^ January Term, 1887. j It appearing that a large portion of the business of the court cannot he disposed of at tills !time, from provi dential cause, and the public interest requiring it, it is ordered fin open court; that said court stand adjourned until Monday, the 7th day of Februa ry, 1887, at ten o’clock. It is ordered further that the officers of court and the grand and petit ju rors einpannelled and sworn for the present term, give their attendance at said adjourned term, to begin on said 7tli day of February, 1887, and that tin’s.order be entered on the minutes of this court and advertised from and after this (lay at the court house door of said county, and in the Union & Recorder, a public gazette (in which and supper last night. They hud the i the official advertisements of said supper, which in spite of had weather I county appear.) “O Envy hide thy bosom hide it deep i the liapmuc-s of h A thousand snakes with black enven- w j ier ’ 0 l|( .

Nest there and kiss and feed through all Thy heart.” The first ’thunder of tho year was heard Thursday afternoon and the weather the following day was quite spring like and enjoyed by every body. Tho hard freezes of the 2d and 4th were too severe on the tender unie oats of November and so they laid down and died. proved quite remunerative. The stage however, which had been built ] only temporarily out of lumber that was for other purposes, having been removed they could not have their play. Instead however a waxed and ! highly polished floor in the same hall afforded u most enjoyable dance and I being so sleek quite a number lost their footing which wnen it became such a common accident to slip up that all embarrassment was lost sight | and made it one of tho merriest and I really most enjoyable dances tiiat bus taken plaee at the asylum in a long time. Altogether it was a com plete success both as to enjoyment I and in pecuniary results. AVe are glad to hear that as soon as the stage can he rebuilt they iutend having another entertainment of which we presume due notice will he given and from the amount of pleas ure and enjoyment, got out of them at so small a cost we can safely say that those who fail to attend will in deed miss a rare treat. Dr. Powell too whose prudent and watchful eye is ever open to the gen eral good lends not only h’s wise sanc tion to those entertainments but gen erally graces them by his dignified presence and that ot his lovely wife, and comes also with his purse liberal ly open. The asylum is indeed a great insti tution arid the Cornet Band, which we trust will he a permanent organi zation, will prove a most important factor in futnisning pleasure to those who are so unfortunate as to have to he sent there. “0.

Death of Mr. Supple, Mr. James Supple, who has been a sufferer from chronic ill health for some months past, hut who has been occasionally seen on our streets, until a week or two ago, died at bis resi dence in this city, on Thursday last. AVe suppose that.his death was quite a surprise to many of our citizens as well as a matter of sincere regret. He had lived here, except for a short period during the civil war, for some thirty-five years and was a good citi zen and a man of much intelligence and general information as well as a genial and pleasant companion in the society of his friends. He leaves a wife and daughter in this city and a son living in New York, and another, the youngest, who is a resident of Texas, ami who, having removed to that distant State when quite a boy. is said to be doing remarkably well there. Mr. Supple was a native of Ireland and had lived successively in Canada and New York before ho came to Georgia. His lifelong occu pation was that of a jeweller and lie was a member of tho American Legion ( of honor, the members of which as sociation took charge of his burial. Ho was buried on Saturday last in our city cemetery, his eldest son, Mr. John Supple having reached here on ly in time to ho present at his father’s burial. Elbertou is without a Hebrew resi dence.
