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 was born in Liberty county, but rear 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. Clias. J. Jenkins to represent Georgia at the Paris Exposition In 1867, and since then has spent most of bis time abroad. Sunday School Auooiation. The Baldwin County Sunday School Association met in convention Sun day afternoon at the Presbyterian church. iThe election of officers for the ensuing year being first in order, Mr. G. T.

By a unani mous vote of the meeting the District Sunday School Convention, which is to meet before the 15th of April next, was requested to meet in Milledge ville. The President was authorized to appoint 15 delegates representing the different Sunday Schools in the County to the District Convention. Further notice of time and meeting, and names of delegates will be an nounced in the next issue of this paper. G. T. Whilden, Pres. J. C. H inton, Sec. A man who has practiced medicine for 40 years ought to know salt from sugar; read what he says; Toledo, O., Jan. 10, 1887. Messrs. P. J. Cheney&Co.—Gentle men;—I have been in tlie general practice of medicine for most 40 years, and would say in all my practice and experience, have never seen a prepar ation that I could prescribe with as much confidence of success as 1 can Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by you. Have prescribed it a great many times and its effect is wonder ful, and would say in conclusion that I have yet to find a case of Catarrh that it would not cure, if they would take it according to directions. Yours truly, L. L. GOR8UCH, M. D. Office, 215 Summit St. We will give $100 for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured with Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Taken inter nally. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Prop’s.

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 night. She was probably ninety years old. The weather during a week or ten days past brought us ice and piercing cold winds, but we are glad to know 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. C. P. Crawford. 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. __ J. H. N. 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. If you would enjoy a hearty laugh don't fail to read tlie article about mules from tlio N. Y. Evening Sun and copied elsewhere in this paper. P. J. Cline & Co. is the place of at traction for the ladies this week. 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. Respectfully, Ac., W. T. CONN & CO., Wholesale Grocers. March 29, ’87. 39 3t. 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.
