Editors Union-Rrcordkk: There is an old saw—'‘If you wish thing properly done do it yourself"—'f' . — — . in which there is.much wisdom. Akin 1 this Administration. Probably Democrat, not even Samuel J. Tilden while living, ever received such up- stinted praise from the Republican Tees as h^s been showered upon him luring the past week. Nothing has been done by any member or Mr. Cleveland’s Cabinet since it was or ganized more calculated to win pop ularity than is the aot of tlie Secreta ry of the Navy by wliioh the work of Death of Rev. Joshua Knowles. We by some means failed to note in our last issue the death of this esti mable gentleman which occurred very recently at his home in Greensboro, Ga. After a long life of active use fulness, devoted to the best interests of bis fellow men, and tlie advance ment of liis Master’s kingdom on tlie earth, lie has been called to bis re ward. We learn that he suffered but little in liis last sickness. The ma chinery of that part of bis being which was mortal gradually wore out and he “was gathered to his fathers. ’ Mr. Knowles has occupied two po sitions most favorable to his impress ing himself upon those among whom he lived. He was for a large portion of his life an editor, and also a minis ter of the gospel. It would be diffi cult to measure the amount of good he accomplished during his long life in the practice of those two vocations, for his pen and his voice were both always employed to inculcate _ that which was right in morals, and in in viting his fellow men to accept the offers of eternal happiness presented to them in the gospel. His editorial career was commenced, if we mistake Petition for Dismission from Ad ministration. jEORGIA, Baldwin County. t^ r , t .'?,L 0rdinilr y- March Term, 1887. U HEREAS, G. L. Morris, Admin- j < istrator upon the estate of Mrs. iannie B. Morris, deceased, lias filed N petition in said Court for letters U dismission from his trust as such vlmmistrator. Tliese are therefore, to cite and ad- lomsh all parties interested, heirs or — . .. realtors, to show cause on or by the not, in Tallahassee, Fla., but it was fine Perm next of said Court to | continued chiefly in this State, and to it, Is an expression of a leading pft*-' per, now before us, viz.; "make youf own boom.” The article referred to,' is addressed to a community In the State of Louisiana, that like MiUedge- ville desires to grow, progress and prosper. These expressions are also used, "as for booms, they are made, they never come to those who idly wait for them.” “Stir things up yourselves, and you will attract the attention of others.” “This is the age of hard work and small pay.” Cannot our leading citizens digest these thoughts, and appreciating their wisdom, apply them to our own situation, and with united energy push Milledgeyille into the path that will lead to prosperity? In read ing periodicals that are devoted to these subjects, we are surprised to learn the great number of small In dustries. that are belpg established in every section of the Southern States. In Virginia, North Carolina, and even in Mississippi and Texas, cheese fac tories are being established. In. Alabama, sausage factories. In every State, factories for the making of g low-handles and stocks, axe-handles, arrel-staves, trays, buckets, brooms, artificial stone. Like the establish ment of Cotton factories, in the cot ton belt, at the gates of our cotton fields, which saves tlie transportation of the raw material, these establish ments for the manufacture of iron, wood, stone, and clay into every uten sil and implement demanded by trade and commerce, are being located where the raw material is most abun dant. Our woods are full, and our streams are all lined with Walnut, Poplar, Chestnut and Oak; timber, from which the handsomest of furni ture can be made. So abundant are these fine woods, that they arejound in every farmer’s yard for fuel, and around his fields for fencing. For axe, hoe and plow-handles, the finest red and white hickory is at every man’s door. For buckets, tubs, barrel staves, the swamps of Cypress, Juni per, and Cedar are illimitable in our county. The large Sweet, Black, and Tupula Gums along our river, will turn out enough wooden ware, such ns churns, bowls and trays to stock the markets of New York city. With a few barrels of Cement, Plaster of Paris, and sand, we can make an Ar tificial stone, that will defy the wear of time, or tlie ravages of fire. But, how can these things be done? Of course, it must require the risk of some capital, and the energy of some men, to push any of these enterprises, if you will go through any manufac turing establishment, you will notice, that most of the work is done by machinery, and that this machinery is controlled by a skillful hand. Let some, who have the means, determine among themselves, "We will estab lish a certain industry.” Find the place to locate your works. Seek, and obtain the machinery necessary; and skilful workmen will hunt and find you, and practically push your enterprise to success and profit, will again quote the writer first refer red to,—“the dead town where peo ple wait for some body else to come in and build it up, will in all probabil ity never be built up.” "E” It Commends a Town. no fortifying our. seaports and building ironclads is established on n solid foundation. From every side his energy and sa gacity is applauded, the work he has done to beguile bidders to accept of fered terms, and the ability he ex hibits in directing the general wo k of biB Department.

HANFORD. Ordinary. before the civil war, lie was for sev- rral years the editor of the Southern Recorder in this city, when its circu lation extended over a considerable portion of the state. In his old age he still contributed to tlie editorial columns of that ex ellent paper the Greensboro “Home Journal”, and he continued as long as his strength per mitted, to preach the gospel as rector of tlie Episcopal church at lus home. Truly a good and a useful man nas gone to his rest. We sincerely sym pathise with those whom he 1ms lett to mourn his departure. Tlie Union Recorder will do its duty in helping along the prosperity or Millcdgeviile. It has performed its part in the pnst and it promises to do the same inthe future. Let every one do likewise and the effect will be mar velous. Ex-Senator Cameron states that Gen. li. E. Lee was offered and declined the coniuiund of the Northern army a the beginning of tlie war. Cameron was a member of Mr. Lincoln s c - net, and the offer was made tlirougu him. _ Thotimo drawoth ni«h Vilfil road overseer will callout htfa to cs each armed with poleaxe, hoe and marcli them in double qU '. time over the highways of Gtorg , cutting a brush here, rakm littl dirt there, scooping.

This is an old idea, but it is ono worth the reuiemb g. Tiiere is nothing that so commends a community to the public favor as sobriety. It suggests ft virtuous and industrious citizenship, and is the fruition of individual morality. It carries with it an idea of peace, and tlie absence of strife and discord. The man who is seeking a location natur ally looks to tho character of the community into which he contem plates moving, and its reputation for sobriety exerts a strong influence over his mind in tlie selection of his future home. He feels that his lines will be cast in pleasant places if the city enjoys that quiet and pence that must always attend a sober and, con sequently, an industrious anil econom ical population.—Gainesville Eagle. 400,000 SUBSCRIBERS. If we gave a column to The Youth’s Companion Announcement, we could scarcely enumerate tho attractions it promises for its sixty-first volume.

Needless deliyeowi bic avoided because it is shoWn that the. gun forgings and armoe plates can be furnished in. a much shorter time than was supposed, For more than eighteen months Secretary Whitney has been industri ously devising the means that make success posBsible. Me has been study ing the conditions of the problem- determining the needs of defensive armor, gauging the impact of projec tiles, fixing on tests by which the De partment will be governed, and mak ing the inducements as attractive as possible. Since all the iron foundries of the country are pressed with unfulfilled engagements for months ahead, at high prices, s jine surprise was express ed that there should have beeu a sin gle bid for the millions of dollars worth of work that was proposed. But the proprietor of the Bethlehem company foress w that the boom would not last, and that it would pay to work for Uncle Bam even on more reasonable terms, because his job would last for a decade or so, both snnrju ■■ and winter, and his pay is SlfH* : T It is to be hoped that there will be no more lamentations for tlie present over tho failure of tlie Naval bills. At least Secretary Whitney is satisfi ed witli the outlook. He says the problem which puzzled everybody is solved, and that the work of fortify ing coasts and equipping ships is in just as good shape as it would have been if tlie Senate bills had become laws. Since I wrote you tlie long discuss ed Inter-State Commerce Commission lias been completed, announced, com mented upon, approved—and now it is about to organize and go to work. The five lawyers, composing it, and who represent the States of Alabama, Illinois, Michigan, New York and Vermont, are practically placed in charge of private property valued at about seven thousand million dollars. This tremendous responsibility is greatly increased when it is remem bered that almost the entire internal commerce of the country is affocted by the action of this new court. No ono doubts the honesty of the members of the Commission, and they are all conceeded to be men of ability, but their labors will be complex and comprehen sive, the new law is a vast prob lem; every feature of its operations more or less perilous, and whatever is done, the Commission will be criti cised and opposed on every side. The railroad men, shippers and travelers, producers and consumers are waiting to pour complaints, queries, commu nications anil requests by tlie thou sand upon the Commissioners as soon as they ure ready to receive them, and will make their lives burdensome, of course. The effect of the new law upon this city will be pronounced. Practically it gives tlie Capital a new Govern ment Department. A large and im portant bureau will be organized at once, a large clerical anil official force will lie appointed by the Commission, legal and other representatives of all railroads in the United States will be drawn here, besides thousands of peo ple interested in questions brought before the Commission. Altogether it will add greatly to the activity of the coining summer in Washington. How and Why $10,000 Comes to Rome. Macon News.

There was some excitement on the street yesterday when it was announ ced that, some one in Rome had drawn a part of the capital prize of Tlie Louisiana State Lottery, ou last Tues day. A New Orleans paper had a list of the lucky numbers, as fol lows: “No. 73,987 $150,000 whole, sold in fractions in San Francis co, Philadelphia, Buffalo, anil Au burn, N. Y., Portland, Me., Fort Wayne, Ind., Rome, Ga,, and Aber deen, Miss. The lucky ones found at, last. They were Miss Abbie Webb, Prof. B. F. Clark, and Dr. J. A Tig- ner. These had pooled together and purchased some lottery tickets, anil among them was the lucky number. —Rome (Ga.,) Courier, Feb, 11. all powder and ball. Sever hat experiments had been tried with tlie never failing result; but the threatened change of base hail to be reported to the rear. It was a sol emn, and trying moment to Captain Morrow. Calling his men to huddle around him in the ditch ho said: “Boys, I was never backward to lead you into danger, now, I have to send one of you there, I never hesitated to appoint you to duty, now I am requir ed to appoint you to brave the dan ger of almost certain death. Will not some of you volunteer to carry a mes sage to General Anderson and save me the sad necessity of making the detail” For a moment there was deep si lence anil there were solemn faces, but only for a moment. “Captain,” said Tom Malcom, “I’ve no family; I’ll carry the message.” The message was communicated and Tom, turning to his comrades, with a smile and a wave of Ills old wool hat, [said “good-bye boys,” anil placing his hand on the edge of the ditch leaped out anil was at once in full view and in less than a hundred yards of several thousand armed ene mies. It seemed as if the imprisoned energies of hell was turned loose. The gun boats thundered from above and below, the batteries poured forth a concentric stream of grape and scrap- nal and the rifles sent a long contin ued flood of volleys after that frail, fair boy, who could not be touched only because he was hugged close in the arms of a loving anil protecting Providence. On went the brave heroic Tom, on through that open field, on, on, on. Sometimes he stumbled into furrows just plowed by cannon balls, some times he fell on purpose, to stop for one brief moment, the mad pursuit of shot and shell, but on lie went, fanned cool as we may almost say by the wind from bullets. Thus far we have told the story as received from Captain Morrow; for the rest let us quote what we remem ber of Tom’s own words reluctantly submitted and modestly told. “1 got to the fence. I was then six hundred yards from the yankees, but their rifles were good for a mile and the one-sided battle didn’t abate, in fact they seemed doubly anxious to make sure of their game now, as he was about to turn the tree. I put my foot on a rail—one leap and the fenoe could be cleared and tlie danger over. But no, as I went to jump the rail broke and I fell sprawling. It looked like every armed yankee in the United States saw mo fall and was trying to keep inedown; but they didn’t, for just then a friendly cannon ball tore down the fence and in one more minute I was up anil over and safe. I didn’t have to go back.” Tho Johnston Statue. The 6th of April next is the twenty- fifth anniversary of tin* death of Geti. Albert Sidney Johnston, and that day has been fixed upon for the un veiling of the equestrian statue m bronze of that eminent patriot, which is to surmount the tomb of the asso ciation of the Army of Tennessee, in the Metairie cemetery, in New Or leans. The ceremonies will occur at about the hour of the day when ho received the wound on the bloody field of Shiloh, which resulted in hi» death. A circular letter has been re ceived from Dr. C. H. Tebault, cor responding secretary, saying: “This. Association, most of whom fought ma iler him on that day, with one voice desire to make the occasion one ot peace and harmony, from which shall result only influences auspicious for the good anil grandeur of out- «*► tiro country. Sectional Issues »re buried with our dead, and of those struggles of the past we preserve nothing but the undying principles of patriotism and devotion to duty, and the living memory of our comrades, who sealed with their lives their con victions of right, Animated by tliese sentiments, we invite Hie co-operation of all citizens of this Great Republic, to render the occasion an era in the history of our country, and that we may then and there clasp bunds in friendship, and strengthen, the hand* of our re union.” “Can’t eat a thing.” Hood’s Sarsa parilla is a wonderful medicine for creating an appetite, regulating dt- 1 gestion, and giving strength. Self Control.. Who doeH not admire tlie power anil beauty of this trait? To my mind it, more than any other, gives honor and dignity to its possessor. Witness, two cases of behaviour under provi- cation. Abuse borne in quiet pa tience awakens for the sufferer ready- sympathy; while one who rages and vows vengeance on his persecutor loses part of our pity ju the scorn lie provokes. There is a greatness in the one who holds himself in submission. If it is “better to rule one's own spirit than to take a city,” how much bet ter than to wield through selfishness the wills of our friends. There are those who, if fearful of losing their own Way. will indulge in a fit of passion, even to bringing on illness, making all tlie other members of the family feel obliged to lay aside their own feelings and walk with the greatest fear of exciting conse quences. It is frequently the case that the person is not a child, but the wife and mother of a grown family. Father anil children may develop an unusual amount of kind thought fulness, rendering them very pleas ing; but, alas! it cannot prevent the contempt they must feel for the selfish and passionate wilfulness which has wrought in them this result. Dear- readers, anil mothers particularly, you cannot afford to grow into such a character. Commence early to practice self control, teaching rfc to your children by precept and exam ple.
