Baldwin Superior Court.
«^"ho spring term of our Superior
uou.rt. has come and gone, the court
navii g adjourned on Saturday even-
mg tdi the next term in course, which
will be in July next. We give in full
in tins issue the charge of Judge Jen
kins to the Grand Jury and it seems
te* be generally regarded as an unusu
ally able one. In fact the Judge ap
pears to have impressed our people
generally with Hie belief that he is
going to make an able and faithful
administrator of the law in his cir
cuit.
Wo also give in this issue the pre
sentments of the Grand Jury, and in
fact our paper, as will be seen, is pret
ty well filled with county matters.
On the criminal side of the court
among other cases, Lee Dago was
lound guilty of the offense of “stab
bing’’ and was sentenced to pay a fine
of $100 and pay the costs or to serve
oue year iu the chaingang. It is un
derstood that he will be able to es
cape the chaingang by paying the
money penalty above named.
Henry Nisbet was found guilty of
unlawful shooting and fined $100 and
costs or sentenced to tbe chaingang
for twelve months. He will go, it is
said, to the chaingang.
On the civil side of the court the
case of Rockwell vs. C. B. AnderRon,
excited a good deal of interest and
was decided in favor of the defendant.
Col. Whitfield, representing the plain
tiff, made a strong argument for his
client, but the “seven years peacea
ble possession” by the defendant was
a cold fact which, under the forcible
speech of Capt. Crawford for the de
fence, could not be ignored.
A Dead Baby.
On Friday lost Sol. Lawsha and his
son, while fishing in the river opposite
Ellison’s land, discovered something
in the water and ou drawing it to
shore, found it to be the body of a
baby. Coroner Scott on being inform
ed of the matter, went to the place
and on examination it proved to
be a newly born baby, wrapped in a
piece of cloth, and either a white
child or a very light colored mulatto.
Mr. Scott put tbe body in a box which
he hiul carried with him ami brought
it to town, and is trying to find out
something regarding the matter for
the purpose of bringing the same be
fore a coroner’s jury. Since the
above was written we learn that
an inquest was held on Sunday but
the Coroner declined to make the
verdict’public.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
A Short Dream Story with an Appli
cation.
Smith told a pretty good story on
himself lust week and as there is a lit
tle moral to it there will be no harm
we presume in repeating it here.
Said lie, “L have always been a first
rate ‘Anti' myself and just before the
barrooms closed up I bought me a
good-sized demijohn of good whiskey,
enough 1 thought to last me through
the summer. But I got to grieving so
over the condition of affairs in the
county that the first tiling 1 knew the
demijohn was empty and the winter
was not half over. Well! I thought
to myself this is a pretty bad fix to be
in but 1 will go up to town and see
what can be done to rectify, it so i
hurried up and when t came out of
town 1 brought with me another jug
of something that was suid to be a
fair substitute for the thing I was
used to. This gave me back my usu
al spirits but alas! tliut night 1 could
not sleep much. I wus up every half
hour bathing my head and warming
my toes. I felt pretty bad the follow
ing day but the next night 1 went to
bed much earlier than usual. (The
last jug was still two-thirds full). I
fell to sleep, such sleep as it was. It
was dream, dream, dream. No unti
probably ever dreamed anything like
it before. As near as 1 can tell it was
something like this; I dreamed ever
so many prohibitionists were pursu
ing me up and down hill, over and
across the creeks, up and down the
level road and every where, and from
time to time one or the other of them
would catch me and pour something
down me, out of ull kinds of jugs and
through ull kinds of funnels. First,
it was Judges, who caught me and
threw me down and standing on my
chest inserted by force a funnel be
tween my teeth and emptied the con
tents of a gallon jug into it;it was gen
uine beet vinegar as far as I could judge
by taste. Then it was lawyer C. who
chased me with a red funnel and a
black jug and after catching me, re
peated tbe first mentioned operation
and infused into me a gallon ot tar
water. Then it was Elder W. next
who tripped me up and vi et uriuis
almost strangled me witn a jug of
glycerine and sewer Water through a
tremendous yellow funnel and so on
until it seemed nearly half the prohi
bitionists in the county had poured
something into me out of jugs and
through the medium of funnels. To
tell you the truth, 1 was glad enough
when 1 awoke though it was only to
realize that uiy head was nearly burst
ing and with a sensation of 1 ulness in
my stomach that drove me nearly
distracted. I was not slow in inter
viewing Dr. H. you may believe. He
gave me something that brought me
around all right in the course of a
week, but he advised me to abstain
religiously from what I had been
taking whatever it was. 1 tell you
wliutllama pretty fair temperance
man now and I intend— just then
catching a glimpse oi his mule start
ing oil with his buggy lie hurried out
to intercept him, and as he did so,
sprung into his buggy. Hello Smith!
called a couple of voices from the win
dow. You didn’t tell us what thut
was you drank that produced such a
horrid nightmare! What was it?
With a wink and a chuckle us he
gave his mule a vigorous cut he re
plied: “It was some of tliis infernal
‘Home-Made Wine.’”
No preparation could have made
such a reputation as Salvation. Oil
(in so short a time) without intrinsic
merit of the highest order, it kills
pain. Price 25 cents a bottle.
Augusta Letter.
Augusta, Ga. \
Feb. 11, 1887. )
Editors Union -Recorder:
Augusta is happy at the idea of soon
having a public building erected in her
limits. (>ur energetic and persevering
congressman, Mnj. Geo. T. Barnes,
lias succeeded in obtaining an appro
priation of $150,000 for the erection of
a building to be used as a Post office,
Revenue Office, and may be in time,
a Court House. The bill passed the
Senate during the last session, and
when it came up for passage in the
House a few days ago, there was only
one vote recorded against it. This
speaks volumes for Mr. Barnes, con
sidering that he is a new member, and
has made him. for the time being, the
most popular man in Augusta. The
bill has not yet received the signa
ture of the President, and there are
not a few who are of the opinion that
he will withhold the same. If he
should veto the bill Augustans will
make war upon him, and his chances
for the Democratic nomination of ’88
would be very slim. So it is to be
hoped that our honored Executive
will not place himself in such great
danger, but that he will unhesitating
ly sign his name to the “Augusta
Public Building Bill.” While manv
sites have already been mentioned,
the most eligible, and best suited to
the business of the city, is the now
vacant lot covering the entire front
of Jackson St. on the east, and ex
tending from Greene to Ellis. This
lot is the property of our worthy
Mayor, Hon. Robt. H. May, and as it
is very valuable would sell at a hand
some price. The erection of the
building will enhance the value of
property in its neighborhood, add
greatly to the dignity and importance
of the city, and give work to hundreds
of laborers who are now Idle, or work
ing for a mere pittance. By all means,
we say, let it be built.
The spirit of progress seems to have
a firm hold on our people. Progress is
the word of the day, and if it contin
ues at the rate in which it has begun,
Augusta’s future glory is assured.
The Augusta and Summerville street
Cur Company anticipating the rapid
growth of our city and great increase
in our population now at hand, have
determined to extend its lines so as
to connect with the Union Depot,
and take in the Southern part of the
city. It is thought also that in a
short time the line will be extended
so as to reach Harrisburg in the
western part of the city. The Street
Car Company is the strongest of the
kind in the Southern States. Its af
fairs are managed by an able Board of
Directors, beaded by one of the brain
iest and most business like men in
the State. Hon. Patrick Walsli is
the man; and to him tbe citizens are
indebted for many comforts hitherto
unknown in travel upon our streets.
Mr. Walsli has wonderful executive
ability, and we hope soon to see him
in the Governor's chair, where bis
talents would benefit the peoplo of
the entire State.
Tlie Odd Fellows of Augusta have
been honored with this presence of
their Grand Master, Prof. C. B.
Lallatte, wiio spent several days
this week in their midst. Prof. La-
Hatte is visiting the Lodges in the
interest of an insurance division con
nected with the Order, and has been
successful i n organizing several
branches throughout tlie State. He
delivered a strong address before the
Augusta Lodges last Tuesday night,
after which lie formed a “Division”
among tlie members. He leaves to
night for Savannah, where he wifi
be, no doubt, royally received and en
tertained. Speaking of Odd Fellow
ship reminds me of the fact that there
once existed a flourishing Lodge in
MilledgeviHe. When the writer was
Grand Master of the State he was
about to take steps looking to its re
suscitation, but his term of office ex
pired before he could accomplish any
thing. What say the old Odd Fellows
of MilledgeviHe to re-organizing their
Lodge?
The ladles of St. Paul’s Episcopal
Church are holding a novel entertain
ment this evening. A valentine par
ty is in progress, with a valentine
post and express office. The post
mistress and express agent are both
fair and lovely, and many will be the
missives thut pass through their dain
ty fingers. To-night at the Chapel of
the First Baptist Church, the ladies
of the Sunday School will hold a
“Convention of Milkmaids.” The
cows, however will not appear on
the stage, in lieu pf which the “cow
boys” will be on exhibition. Mrs. C.
B. Richards and Miss Capen have
the entertainment in hand, which
guarantees its success.
Some excitement was caused at the

THE OPERA HOUSE.
Miss Elmore Greeted With a Roue*
in? Reception Last Night.
The opera house was filled last night
the attraction being Miss Florence
Elmore In "Lady Audley’s Secret.”
Unfortunately for Miss Elmore there
Is little or no demand made for her
fine capabilities as an actress in this
unrealistic and uninteresting play.
The plot is beyond human perception
and is therefore monotonous in its
extravagant domestic situations. Miss
Elmore is undoubtedly destined to
e an important role on the stage.
Camille is faultless and will rank
with tho leading lights of this coun
try. As probably Miss Elmore is less
known than other queens of tragedy
and domestic drama, this assertion
may sound extravagant, yet it is only
wliat is duo true merit. She possess
es al 1 that enters into the composi
tion of a fine actress, appearance,
voice, conception and the power to
thoroughly impress the audience with
her powers. As Parthenia she is
again a success, an unquestionable
success, convincing tho most oritical
of her powers as an adept in the most
intricate of acting. We bespeak for
the lady the fame she so well deserves.
Mr. Hugh Melford, Miss Elmore’s
handsome leading man is also far
from tlie ordinary support given
domestio dramas. He Is in every
sense a finished and versatile actor,
whose “Armand Duval” and “Ingo-
inar” can be most favorably compar
ed with Devic, Norton or oven Bar
rett.
A DECIDED COMPLIMENT.
Miss Elmore became such a favorite
with Chattanooga theater goers dur
ing her brief stay that some enthusi
astic friends yesterday circulated a
I >et it ion asking the lady for a return
date. A large number of signers
were easily procured, and Miss El
more signified her intention of again
appearing here during the early part
of January. We trust Camille will
be tlie piece presented, and we prom
ise, her a full house will be present to
enjoy it.—Chattanooga Times.
“The play’s the tiling,
Wherein I’ll reach the conscience of
tlie king.”
And equally true is it that Dr. Pierce’s
“Pleasant Purgative Pellets,” (the
original Little Liver Pills) are tho
most effectual means that can be
used to reacli the seat of disease,
cleansing the bowels and system, nnd
assisting nature in her recuperative
work. By druggists.
