Colonel Charlton H. Way, of
Savannah, Ga., recently appointed
Consul General to St. 'Petersburg,
Russia, is well known to our older
citizens, having married Miss Fannie
Williams ofc this place in 1857. He

ed in Savannah. He graduated at
the Georgia Military Institute. At
the beginning of the war, he was Ad
jutant General on the stall of Gen.
Henry II. Jackson, then raised a Bat
tery and afterwards was made Colonel
of the 54th Georgia regiment, which
regiment he commanded at the sur
render. He was selected bv Gov.

since then has spent most of bis time
abroad.

Take your county paper. Do not
be without it. Whatever other pa
pers may be to the world, it is the
paper for you. No other can take
its place. It advertises your business
—it is to your interest to support it.
It advertises your home—it is your
duty to sustain it. It knows you, and
you cannot ignore it. Neither you nor
it can be independent of each other.
As well try to be independent of
your neighbor—your interests are al
most identical. Hence tlie citizen
who is careless of liis own welfare is
blind to the worth of his county pa
per, and rarely succeeds at any under
taking.—Exchange.
Many people make a serious mis
take by discarding their warm winter
undergarments, during the periods of
warm weather we so frequently have
in April and May. It is the expe
rience of many years which teaches
us that even May has almost invaria
bly cold spells which are all the sharp
er and more dangerous to health be
cause tliey usually are preceded by
an almost summer temperature. It
is oui judgment that tlie first of June
is the safest period for dispensing
with tlie warm underclothing, which
adds so much to comfort during tlie
winter months.
Old aunt Louisa, (colored) , u°j du ‘ r
of Josephine Bowers died last I' ridav

The weather during a week or ten

that the fruit in general has not been
killed.
Millbdgevillb, Ga., Alarch24, ’87.
Rev. J. R. King:
Dear Sir:—Replying to your enqui
ry as to the right of the City Council
to license wine rooms, I have to say:
Apart from the Prohibition Act and
prior to it, the owner of any vineyard
iu tliis State could lawfully manufac
ture and sell in quantities not less
than a quart, any wine made there
from, without license.—Code 4565a.
With this single exception, no spir
ituous liquors could be lawfully sold in
quantities of a gallon or less, without
license.—Code §4565.
How are these general provisions
affected by the Local Option Act?
The VI. Section of that Act forbids,
absolutely the sale or the giving, to
induce trade or in public places, of
any intoxicants whatever. Section
VIII. Provides “that nothing in this
Act shall be construed to prevent the
manufacture, sale and use of domes
tic wines,” &c., “provided inch wines
shall not bo sold in bar rooms by re
tail.” Does this intend to enlarge the
purview of §4565a, or merely to save
the exemption therein defined? I
think the latter is its true intent, and
that the right to sell domestic wines iB
confined to the owner of the vine
yard where produced. But even he
is not allowed to keep a “tippling
house,” or sell loss than a quart. Our
wine rooms would have no right to
sell it by the gallon or less, and es
pecially to be drank where sold, in ft
tippling or bar room. If this be so,
the sale of wine, as to them, stands on
tlie same footing with other intoxi
cants, and cannot be licensed by the
city council. Criminal prosecutionsfor
each case of sale and use on the prem
ises, or for sale less than a gallon, is
the remedy. Yours, &c.

Death of Judge S. B. McKee.
A friend, Mr. Editor, himself a grad
uate of Oglethorpe University, once
located at Midway, Ga , has sent the
writer a copy of the Oakland, (Cal )
Tribune, of date March 3d, inst., con
taining the announcement of the
sudden death, at his home in Oakland,
of Sam’l. B. McKee, who, up to a
very recent date, had been thirty
years on the bench of California, ter
minating in the distinguished position
of Justice of the Supreme bench
Your space forbids as full a notice as
I would be pleased to give the distin
guished dead, and 1 briefly outline a
few salient reminiscences. Sam’l.
B. AIcKee was bom in Ireland, of
parents of Scottish descent. His par
ents came to America when Samuel
was 12 years of age, and settled at
Charleston, S. C. Subsequently they
went to Augusta, and thence Samuel
came to Milledgeville, and entered as
a student of Oglethorpe University,
then presided over by the great and
good Doctor Sam’l. K. Talmage. The
writer was then a student at Midway,
and well remembers the pleasant im
pression made upon him when first
making his acquaintance. McKee
had nearly attained his majority
when he entered college. He was
dignified in manners and courtly in
address. An accomplished conversa
tiomilist, a pleasant companion, and
joviai with all his dignity, lie became
very popular. We think, if memory
serves us, correctly, that the lament
eil Sidney Lanier, the poet, wus one
of McKee’s classmates. After leav
ing Midway, lie went to Alabama,
and studied law, and was there uutur
alized. He married in Alississippi,
moved to Arkansas, and in 1852, set
tled in California. His first wife died,
and lie married her sister. They had
twelve children, eight of whom are
living. Judge McKee rose from coun
ty Judge, through all the successive
stages, to Supreme Justice. His as
sociates (who are alive) when he was
at old Oglethorpe, while rejoicing at
his rich honors, and long life, will
learn with mournful pleasure his calm
and peaceful death, at the home of
his adoption, in the midst of his fami
iy and surrounded by the honorable
insignia of a great, State’s grief.

Messrs. J. S. Beall and John L.
Ferrell will open a coal and wood
yard in this city, in the rear of Mr.
Sam’l. Evans’ old stand. We are glad
to note this addition to tile conven
iences of our town. We trust these
gentlemen will make a success of ttie
business, and suggest that tliey add
to their wood yard the valuable tim
ber—white oak, cypress, hickory,
walnut and other timbers which are
abundant on the Oconee, South of
this city. We have no doubt there
would be a good demand for the ship
ment of such timber to other points
if not for their manufacture in this
city.
Col. Whitfield who lias been through
a three weeks, tour of the courts with
out cessation or rest, lias also suffered
an accidental hurt, not serious how
ever, while riding in a buggy. Owing
to his indisposition, the county court
was adjourned over from yesterday,
to meet again to-morrow (Wednes
day) and proceed with its business.
Last week Mr. James Ennis of this
county was endeavoring to reinovs a
loaded shell which had lodged in one
of the barrels of his gun when it ex
ploded. The little finger and the two
nearest to it on his right hand were
badly injured, but it is hoped it will
not be necessary to amputate them
A line showing was made in the
brick work of tlie Baptist church last
week. Those who have subscribed
money for the erection of this church
should call on Mr. Barrett and pay
up, so that. the work can be pushed
to completion.
If you will call this week at P. J
Cline & Co’s, you will see a great
many new spring goods in all the new
styles and shades. Remember nex'
Sunday week is Easter.

Tlie Superintendent and teachers of
St. Stephen’s Sunday school aremak-
ng preparation for a very enjoyable
festival for the Sunday School scholars
to take place on the afternoon of
Easter Sunday, which occurs on April
10th, this coming Sunday week. They
have quile an elaborate programme
and it will be a very interesting cele
bration. not offiy to tlio children, but
to all who may choose to attend, and
all are cordially invited to be present,
faster is the most joyous of all the
church festivals, and in accordance
with a timo-lionored custom, the
church will be handsomely decorated
for the Easter morning services. It is
universally the case that on every
Easter, the little church is crowded to
its utmost capacity and from the pre
parations we hear they are making,
;he services for this Easter and the
decorations of the church will be the
most pleasing for years past and it is
supposed that quite a large assem
blage will be in attendance.
On yesterday morning a little after 9
o’clock, a very black thunder cloud came
up ana gave us a pretty good shower of
rain, with some sharp lightning and
heavy thunder. There was also haTl for a
short time but it was not large enough
here to do any damage.
A hard wind from the North-west fol
lowed it and at this writing, Monday af
ternoon, the temperature, which has been
falling rapidly, la getting quite uncom
fortable and It bids fair to give us another
spell of quite cold weather.
On Wednesday last a very large and
violent Whirlwind passed from West to
Last over the city,crossing the Northern
portion of tho Penitentiary square. It was
spoken ot by some as being almost a cyclone.
No damage wus done that we have heard
of.
The London Theatre Company
gave very general satisfaction in their
performances in this city.
Shall we Have the Road from Ba*
tonton to Madison?
Easter Festival
-AND—
LOW PRICES,
—AT-
We have it from good authority
that if the people in this routo will
grade the road from Eatonton to
Madison and buy the cross ties, the
Macon and Athens will equip and
run it. The Mucon and Athens
would be glad to have it tap their
road near Madison, and thus act as a
feeder. Asto the expense .incurred,
people who have studied the matter
assert that the part required" of us
would cost about twenty thousand
dollars. Ten citizens of the town and
county not loop ago agreed to give
$500 each to this route, which would
give us good connections, another
outlet and reduced fright rates. The
$20,000 could he raised. We have
long been bottled up by and at tho
mercy of tho Central and it is a
matter of greatest import to Put
nam’s growth that we take measures
to relievo ourselves. By properly ap
plying ourselves to the task, we can
do this. Will we? The future of tho
town and county depends largely up
on it. Let us be up and doing while
tlie opportunity is with us. We can
not afford at this juncture to sit idly
by and await developments—our peo-
pio must take tho matter iu their own
hands and themselves bring about
developments. Let some prompt and
decisive action bo taken.—Eatonton
Messenger. _
Gov. Gordon lias excepted an invi
tation to he present at Augusta on
Memorial day, to take part in the
joint celebration of the Survivors and
the Ladies Memorial Association. Ho
states that Jie will not make a
speech upon that occasion, but he
can hardly expect to escape being
called on for some remarks, be they
ever so brief.
After a short trial we have ar
rived at the conclusion that it
is not to our interest to continue
to confine our sales to merchants
only. From and after this date
we will sell to all who will buy in
Avholesale quantities. Tho larger
the quantity the lower the price.
We do not break packages.
Thanking our customers for their
liberal patronage, wo hope to
merit a continuance of tho same.

Excitement in Texas.
Great excitement has baen caused in the
vicinity of Paris, Tex., by the remarkable
recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who was so
helpless lie could not turn in bed, or raise
his head; everybody said he was dying of
Consumption. A trial bottlo or Dr. King’s
New Discovery was sent him. Finding re
lief, he bought a large bottlo and a box
of Dr. King’s New Life Pills; by the time
he had taken two boxes of Pills and two
bottles of the Discovery, ho was well and
had gained in flesh thirty-six pounds.
