Rutherford °t Macon, last week, was an event " Inch was sincerely regretted by the community in which he had lived so long us an honored and highly es teemed citizen. Like a number of prominent Georgians, who lived many years and finally died in other por tions of the State, Col. Rutherford native of this county. The old an n'y homestead is a mile or two • outh-east of this city, and lias been or a number of years past the prop- f i, °/ Edwards family.

SHARP. - ’ ., can venture the assertion thnt there is not an asylum in the whole country that is conducted on broader, more humane and at the same time more acceptable principles than that Jy °A U ’ "“hie old Empire State of the south. Nor is there one where there 18 Jess distance and more approacha ble congeniality between the officers in charge and the patients, or those at least of them, who are not so fur deranged as to be oblivious of the proprieties of life. There is constant ly. s °uie pleasant and sociable cotu- unngliug of the officers and some one ® r . ? t P er °t the patients; occasions on winch patients sufficiently convales cent are invited to the parlors of the officers where there are the pleasant interchange of civilties and friend ly courtesies. This being the case, tnere exists between the officers and patients of this class a kind and cor- 1,1, “ ion dly feeling and these patients , e learned to look upon the officers « tlle Dffht of personal friends tnaii officers iu authority over them, it is a matter that requires much deli cacy of judgment to admit of this in timate friendship without destroying tnat authority that is necessarily re quisite for the proper management of so large an institution, still it is ac complished with a nicety of exactness that is Avonderfui. Ur. Powell is so gentle and dignified that, when it is necessary for him to issue even a most unpleusunt command, or to deny any request, it is done iu such a way as, at once, silences any objection and yet, so kindly done, it seems as if he Avere conferring a favor instead. He is never haughty, austere or unap proachable, but on the contrary, the slightest trouble of the most simple imbecile finds access to his ear and prompt attention, as readily as if it were preferred by the Governor of the State or the President. The conse quence is the patients are ail fond of mm, look up to him as a father and his rule in the Asylum is emphatically one of loye instead of one of fear and foroe. The Board of Trustees held a meet ing at the asylum to day the 24tli but your reporter has not learned the na ture of any business transacted. Our-Trans Marine R. R. President and builder took issue at our jocose criticism of his lecture last week. He says our report was incorrect— that the “wind was not taken out of his sails” and that his lecture Avas not upon his railroad across the Atlantic but upon “Woman’s Mission.” He has a new idea now. He says the Hatli- orn Spring at Saratoga is not a natu ral spring but made artificially and he proposes to discover one, iu the bottom near the asylum, after hav ing first prepared it by mixing the chemicals in barrels of water m the dome of the asylum, from which pipes may run under ground and open in to the ground in some low place and let the mineral water burst out as if natural. He says also that he would have acliainpaigne andcatawbaspring on the same principle, over which a curator must be placed and charge ten cents a glass from the natural (?) cliainpaigne spring. To accomplish it, however, he says it will first be ne cessary to turn Mr. Windsor and Mr. Lamar out of office, for it Avould “re- quirea little sAvindling” and their con sciences arc not elastic enough. So “there is method in his madness.” Ur. Hall had tlie misfortune to get his shoulder dislocated last Sunday morning in a scuffle with an obstrep erous patient who was attempting to escape, but he is O. K. now and on duty as usual. The “Asylum Uilettanti Club,’’ now that the measles have about dis appeared, will resume their usual en tertainments as soon as the weuther becomes settled again. They are very pleasant occasions and the social pleasure of them has been much miss ed since their suspension for some weeks past, during the prevalence of measles. The Union-Recorder is always anxiously looked for every Tuesday morning, not only by its regular sub scribers but by many others who like to read it, and your .reporter observes with pleasure that your asylum notes are quite extensively copied from throughout the State. But that is natural, for people iu every county in the State have some interest iu it and like to know what is transpiring there. Feb. 24th, 1887. Dissolution and New Partnership. Th(> partnership heretofore existing between J. W. McMillaud E. T. Ai ling as Builders and Contractors has been dissolved. Air. McMillan has sold his interest to Mr. Jesse W. Tun ned, of Union Point, who is a practi cal and successful builder, and will be quite an acquisition to the business interests of our growing city. We learn that Ailing and Tunnell will en large their Planing Mill in this city, anti otherwise increase their business. These competant and reliable con tractors and builders will doubtless have their hands full of work, for there is a constant and increasing de mand for new residences in this city. Mr. McMillan will now devote liis en tire time to the manufacture of brick, tile increased demand for which in this city and the surrounding coun try will require the whole of Ids time to supply it. Sallie Steele, her mother and Caro line Choice have been arrested and lodged in jail charged with the drown ing of the infant found in the river a week or two since. After employ ing counsel they were immediately bailed without difficulty. Messrs. Crawford, Grieve and Sanford were retained for the defence. A detachment of the Salvation Army will reach this place this week. Capt. Agar, of the second Southern Bivis ion, came to this place last week and completed arrangements for their stay. The Opera House has been se cured for three months, where ser vices will be held daily. RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF J. 0. BELL.
