The meeting was called to order by j Mr. J. X. Moore, who stated tlie ob ject of the meeting to be for the pur-1 pose of devising some plan for the j formation or organization of nn im provement fund, to be used for the in- j auguration of enterprises which shall lie to the interest and advancement tirst of the organization, and ns a nat-1 urftl consequence to the city and coun- ] ty at large. The Prohibition Law. Mr. J. N. Moore was appointed, Chairman, and C. L. Morris Secretary i good people to make this law effec Mr. Editor:—I notice in the last issue of the Chronicle an able and timely communication on the necessi ty of enforcing the prohibition law in this city. 1 see in the same paper there is a call for a meeting of tin* cit izens uf the town on Thuisday night next at the Court House; presumably for the purpose of devising some plan or means whereby the said law may be enforced. Now, Mr. Editor, while admitting the necessity—the urgent necessity*— for Rome action on the part of our sizes of Figaros, the best 5c. u America at John M. Clark’s .tore.

Lumpkin was asked to give his idea as to the shape the or ganization should take. He stated that his idea was to adopt the plan suggested by Mr. C. G. Wilson, for each one who was willing to enter the organization, to pay in some certain amount of money, as they are willing to name monthly, until the aggregate was sufficient to be expended Tn some of the many needed enterprises of the city and county, such as the Organi zation might suggest. Mr. Conn suggested that while no one man might have much money to invest in new enterprises, or the knowledge necessary to carry them on successfully, or the time from his al ready established business to enter into them, yet by an organiration of this kind, such sums would soon accu mulate as to enable the company to aid some one who might have the knowledge to establish the enterprise, and not sufficient capital, thus put ting upon foot enterprises that would be profitable to the stockholders, and of much benefit to the whole oounty at large. After some discussion as to the best manner of oreating the organization, Mr. CL D. Case made a motion that it be organized by putting the shares at twelve dollars each per year, to be paid in monthly, which was carried. Mr. Batfrett said that the idea was that they wanted parties to subscribe to these enterprises for the purpose of benefltting Milledgeville, and that the public looked upon it as a gratuit ous offering. This idea was wrong. Each shareholder entered it with the idea of his own personal profits that would accrue from it. That if the organization prospered, as a natural consequence the city and county would be benefitted, but the main idea was that it was for his (Sol Barrett’s) interest. Upon motion to canvass the body for shares, the result was ns follows: W. T. Conn, 10; L. H. Wood, 1; CL 1). Case, 5; T. H. Morris, 2; Joe Miller, 5; J. W. McMillan, 5; B. T. Bethune, 3; Dr. W. A. Moore, 1; S. Barrett, 10; J. Staley, 5; J. Caraker, 5; Arthur Carr, 5; J. N. Moore, 2; T. E. White, 1; CL W. Caraker, 1; W. W. Lumpkin, 2; C. L. Morris, 1. Making in all 03 shares. Mr. L. H. Wood made a motion that the organization be called the Baldwin Improvement Company- Carried. Upon Mr. Arthur Carr’s motion, a committee was appointed to canvass tlie county. Messrs. W. T. Conn, S. Barrett, A. J. Carr, J. Staley, T. E. White and G. 1). Case were appointed as tlie committee. The time for the next meeting was made for Wednesday, April 0, at the council chamber, at 4:30 o’clock p. in. Upon motion the meeting adjourned. J. N. Moore, Chairman. C. L. Morris, Secretary. tive, is it not strauge that the citizens of the town should feel under the ne cessity of devising means to enforce one of the most sacred laws on the statutes of the StateT This same law is being vigorously and successfully enforced in the city of Atlanta by the authorities of the city. The same law is to-day being enforced in ma ny other cities and towns in the State of Georgia bv the respective city gov ernments. Why then can’t the same thing be done here in Milledgeville? We have a Mayor, and a good one. Wo have a Board of Alderman com posed of six level-headed business men. We have a chief marshal and two deputies, all good officers. The latter have but little to do now, ex cept to see to the enforcement of this law. And if these latter officers are not sufficient to preserve order and enforce tlie laws, the City Council 1ms ample power to increase the force and make it efficient. Why then should the people of the city feel under the necessity of taking the matter in hand? They have vest ed their city government with all the power and all the means necessary to enforce this law. It therefore only remains for that government to dis charge a plain duty and the great ob ject in view is accomplished. It is puerile in the extreme to say this law cannot be enforced in a small city like Milledgeville. No man can come here and run a so-called wine- room for one day even without the permission of the authorities. And certainly no liquor dealer in Macon can establish an agency here for the purpose of solicitiug orders and then furnish a room to drink in right here in the heart of the city, without at least tlie connivance of tlie city gov ernment. But suppose we admit that the sale of intoxicating liquors cannot be pro hibited so long us a wine room is kept open in the city; then there is another remedy at hand. The city council certainly has the power to follow the example set by our neighboring city, Sandersville, and impose so high a ii- cense on wine-rooms as will effectual ly close up all such nuisances. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I will only say that I sincerely hope some thing will be done and that speedily, to suppress a traffic which in the j judgment of all good people is tlie 1 greatest evil ever imposed on poor I frail humanity.

Adolph Joseph, whoso emporium of Dry Goods lias been one of the notable institutions of Alilledgoville for many years past, comes to the front again witli the regularity of the Sea sons with his proclamation to those who want goods in his line. His suc cess in the past in supplying the most fastidious with seasonable goods of the latest styles and greatest variety, is a guarantee that he will supply the wants of the public in the most satis factory manner now. Let all our readers read his short but very at tractive statement in another column of the treat he has in Store for them if they will be wise euougli to give his courteous and attentive corps of clerks an oportunity to show them tlie treasures of various kinds which crowd his well filled shelves. Whenever there is anything new in tlie dry goods line P. J. Cline & Co., are always first to find it out. You can call at their store every day and you will find them opening something new. There was in the city yesterday a young Jewish Rabbi, who lias recent ly become a convert to Christianity. So soou as it became known, his form er co religionists turned theirbaokton him and he was deprived of his em ployment as a teacher of some of their obildren. One of our city clergymen after having a free conversation with him was convinced that he was a man of excellent education and worthy of the sympathy and aid of good people. He is entirely destitute of money and probably not well calculated to meet the difficulties of life under such cir cumstances. If you want a nice Easter JFess, P. J. Cline & Co’s, is the place to go. You 1 can find anything you want there, ! and they are certainly head quarters i for nice goods and low prices. —— AH. Win.
