attracted tiie attention of the people
of the State to a marked degree of

the late prize drill in Macon, in which

devoted weeks to preparing them

OiKN'n. In behalf of all the people
of middle and southern Georgia, and
all the men of this section who served
under you, 1 congratulate you, not
only oil the success of the Cadets of
your school, under Capt. Matheson,
in carrying off the first prize here last
week, but also for their general good
behavior. I heard several remark
that, not one of the boys misbe
haved in any way. This no doubt
will be particularly gratifying to you,
as well us all friends of the school,
particularly, as wine flowed freely
and temptations of all kinds were be
fore them, and while so many of the
visiting soldiers of older growth, did
1 not behave well, and for the time,
forgot they were or ought to be.

inthis connection we remark that
we may expect an unusually large
attendance of people from a distance
at our approaching College Com
mencement. On all occasions of the
movement of crowds of people to one
point, the railroads have their har
vest, and they increase their gains by
lowering rates of fare to such an ex
tent that great crowds fill their passen
ger oars and both the railroads and
the people are benefltted. Our Col- , - , - .- .. .

that they will without delay notify |

capital and not only enjoy the pleas- !
ures of the commencement, but have
their minds enlightened in other im

temperance from our borders and in
the new impulse recently given to
the various elements of prosperity,
Decidedly the most exquisite and
“toiiiest” affaii of tiie season was the
full dress reception given last .Friday
night at “The Mansion, 1 ' by some of
the ladies or Milledgeviile to Capt. K.
G. Matheson, Commandant and Miss
Mitrwood H*erty, [Sponsor and Misses
Belle White and Sadie Hall, Muids of
Honor to the company of our Cadets
that were so honorably' victorious in
the late drill contest at Macon. Tt,
was a very fashionable party in all
respects, t lie hours being from half
past nine'till t welve, and the party
goers all in full evening dress. It is
the custom, but one we do not ap
prove to describe the ladies dresses.
But we think enough is said when we
remark that they were all in attire
that would have become any recep-
wbich are manifest even to the tran- i tion in any of the metropolitan cities,
sient sojourner among,us. All these to say that the ladies were lovely and
things will tend to the benefit of all all looked charming, would be but a
concerned. The increased prosperi-' repetition of a proverbial fact in re-
ty of our college, our town and our
people, will all react to the benefit of
the railroads, which by' a wise conces
sion in the matter of passenger fares,
will promote the general welfare with
out harm to themselves..
* *
We are glad to learn that the pros
pect is good for quite a fair atten
dance of the ex-cadets of our College
at their approaching re-union during
commencement. By the way. that is
an additional inducement to the ruil-
ronrlsto give the public reduced rates
of fare at the time mentioned.
* *
The great majority of the,people of
this State, us has often been remarked
heretofore, have a very inadequate
conception of that great State insti
tution—the Lunatic Asylum—right in
sight of the people on our streets. Ev
ery person who attends commence
ment, who lias never visited it, should
by all means avail themselves of the
opportunity to do so, and every need
ed accommodation, in the way of con
gard to the ladies of Milledgeviile for
'tis well known that no city in the
State, yea, in the South, can boast of
ladies combining more intelligence,
wit and accomplishments, with loveli
ness of person, than those of our little
quondam capital city.
The parlors were handsomely decor
ated with flowers and evergreens,
deftly wrought by appreciative hands
into appropriate emblems, mottoes
and designs. Over the marble man-
tlepiece of the main parlor was drap
ed tiie historic flag, presented in 1880,
by the young ladies Literary Society
to the Cadet corps, bearing on its visi
ble side tiie coat of arms of the. State
and tiie suggestive motto Excelsior.
Accross the folds of this handsome
flag was seen Capt. Matheson’s sword
decorated xvith ribbons and his ini
tials in evergreen and just below it,
also in evergreen letters, “May 12tli,”
the date of their victory in the con
test. The lace curtains of the win
dows were also decorated with flags
and trailing vines growing in pots in
veyances and cheap transportation, I the windows while the paintings on
should be provided? And we would
suggest to the railroad authorities
some judicious advertisingof the vari
ous inducements to the people to come
to Commencement of which the oppor
tunity to visit the Asylum, might be
made to appear no small one; arid
that, supplemented by reduced pas-
•enger fares would be money in their
treasuries. It would also nave the
effect to increase, to some extent at
least, the travel on their cars of oth
ers whose curiosity might be aroused
by the stories carried home by their
friends who had visited it, and had
their wonder aroused by this great in
stitution.

Thk Tknt Services,—A party of, ^ lu - Editor:
four persons, namely Miss iMaebei
Hall, Miss Charity Hall, Mr. Frank Ilall I
and Mr. [Shockley, arrived here from I
Macon on Thursday lust with a large
tent, which they erected on Jefferson
street nearly opposite the former res
ilience of the late Dr. Garner Ed
wards. They 1 have been engaged for
some little time in Macon, holding re
ligious services as wo learn in the
character of evangelists, and a few
days since, Mr. M. M. Folsom, the re
liable Macon correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution, mentioned in
one of liia letters the fact that they
were coming to this place and hail
done a good religious work in Macon.
They are not connected witli the
salvation army, and the reason they
give for the methods they have adopt
ed is that it enables them to reach a
considerable number of people who
never go to church, and who other
wise would never hear .the gospel
preached. *
The tent Evangelists held their first
public services on Sunday night last.
A considerable congregation collect
ed, notwithstanding there were set-
vices ill progress at the Methodist, and
Presbyterian churches. We learn
that they have their tent very well
arranged for the comfort of ‘those
who may attend their services, with
chairs for seats, and the earth cover
ed with straw to keep their feet from
the ground. One of the gentlemen
made a preliminary address in which
lie asserted that they had no connec
tion witli the Salvation Army and
that they were merely working for
the salvation of souls. He said they
were not working to build upauy par
ticular church, (though they all be
longed to churches) and they desired
the co-operation and help of the rliris-
tian people of Milledgeviile. One of
the ladies then arose and after an
nouncing her text, preached a ser
mon enforcing the doctrine that it is
impossible for the sinner to be saved
except he he “born ngain” in the
scriptural sense of that term. After
announcing that they would hold ser
vices every night and also during the
day, so soon as they could ascertain
whether the morning or the after
noon would be most, convenient for
the people, the congregation was dis
missed.

Mr. and Mrs. .I. W. McMillan have
been subjected to tho great affliction,
only to be properly*appreciated by
those who have been similarly visited,
of losing on Monday of last week, a
dearly loved child. It was only thir
teen months old, but it had just
reached the age when the infant be
gins to unfold traits of the character
it is afterwards to bear, and which
are of such absorbing interest to
observant parents. This may be
thought a fanciful Ascription of pre
cocious development in the infant
mind but we are persuaded it is true
to nature. This beloved child had
been quite sick and its parents were
doubtless rejoicing in Its apparent
improvement, when it, quite unex
pectedly grew worse and in a few
hours, its pare spirit, untainted by
personal sin, had left its tenement
of clay and been received into the
arms of Him who relinked those who
would have sent, them away from
Him mid said, “Suffer little children
to come unto me, for of sueli is the
kingdom of Heaven.” During its
brief existence it bore the nam- of
Otis Powell, being named after an un
de and the worthy and honored su
perintendent of the lunatic asylum.
Rev. Mr. McQueen, the pastor of
the child’s parents, perfumed the
the usual funeral services, and the
remains were borne away and by the
hands of sympathising friends, de
posited in our cemetery, so appropri
ately called sometimes “the city of

military achievements have won na
tional renown, for president, why
should we not have tiie largest mili
tary school in the South? It has been
suggested that the Barracks system is
all that is needed. Capt. Matheson
says Barracks life is the most impor
tant part of a military education. It
is there that system, order, self-help
and self-control are learned—elements
of character so much to be desired.—
We have no doubt the establishment
of Barracks would largely increase
the number of cadets. To provide
particularly attracted attention. It
was a quartette by four female voices,
Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Lee, Miss Minnie Bel
lamy and Miss Annie Berry, and ap
propriately enough it was a “Greet
ing to Spring,” in which the fair sing
ers apostrophised “charming May,"
the month of tiie Cadets’ victory.
At about twelve, the guests retired,
all feeling that rarely if ever had they
attended a more delightful enter
tainment. To laud Capt. Matheson
and his fair Sponsor and her maids of
honor would be but adding whiteness

Why should not substantial aid in

Editor Union-Recorder;
The statement having become pre
valent in this community that Hoover,
tiie man whose name is at present .so
notorious in this community, had
stopped at my house during his stay
here, I beg space in your columns to
state that, not only did lie never stay
at my house,Hint the fact is I have
never seen him to my knowledge in
my life. 1 was asked at one time, by
persons not necessary to name, if I
would allow Hoover to make a speech
in my church. I replied no: that, it
was contrary to my rules to use the
church for any such purposes, and
that was the last, 1 ever heard of it.
I learned from my wife on my return
home, one day, from visiting a sick
member of my church, that a man,
who was a stranger to her, had called
and wanted to see me. Whether that
man was Hoover or not, I do not
know nor have I any means of ascer
taining.
Hoover was said to have stopped
with W. F. Boddy, but there being
no other person in this city of the
name of Boddy or Boildie, I must be
lieve the report was intended to ap
ply to me and therefore my regard for
my good name has constrained me to
set myself right before this communi
ty, in which I have lived in peace for
nearly eighteen months past.

ladies, that had been set to come .off
last Friday night, was played—anil
played well, but unfortunately owing

Many who failed on that account to at

early day, and those in charge think
that perhaps they may do so. It is

they will do a good deed by contribu

Firemen’* Parade.
The annual parade of our excellent
Are company composed of stalwart
men, (colored,) took place on Friday
afternoon last. Between forty and
fifty men took the fire engine, hose
reel and hook and ladder apparatus,
all of which are handsomely ileoora-
ted with flowers, anil marched through
a number of our streets, finally halt
ing on Jefferson street, near Mayor
Walker'-. The company and their
various appliances had been inspect
ed l>v the Mayor anil Aldermen in the
morning, and after the parade above
mentioned in the afternoon, they
made a couple of runs of one hun
dred yards each and in tiie first, they
made’the run and got water in 82 sec
onds ami in the second they did the
same in 42 seconds.
A large number of the colored peo
ple collected and witnessed the exer
cises on Jefferson street and after the
firemen got through they marched
to the city hall and housed their iiu
plements and dispersed. . The compa
ny is a good one and has tiie regard
and support, as they should have, of
the white citizens of our city.
The festivities of the day were con

A CHILD’S SKIN.
Ears and Scalp Covered with Ecze
matous Scabs and Sores
Cured by Cuticura.
M V little -on, aged eight years, has been
altlleted with Kczema or the scalp, »n*1 at
times a great portion of the body, ever since he
was two years old. It began in Ids ears, and ex
tended to his scalp, which became covered with
scabs ami sores, ami from which a sticky iluid
poured out, causing Intense llching and distress,
ami leaving his hair matted and lifeless. Un
derneath iliese scabs the skin was raw, like a
piste of beefsteak. Gradually the hair came
out and was destroyed, until but a small patch
was left at the back of the head. My friends in
Peabody know how my little t«>y has suffered.
At night, he would scratch his head until liLs
pillow was covered with blood. I used to tie his
hands behind him. and in many ways tried to
prevent Ills snatching; hut it was no use, he
would scratch. I took him to the hospital ana
to the liest plivslcians in Peabody without suc
cess. About this time, some friends, who had
feen oured hy the Cuticura Ukmeoiks. prevailed
upon ine to try them. I begun to use them on
the 16th of January last,. In seven months every
particle of the disease wits removed. Not a spot
or seal) remains on tils scalp to toll the story of
his suffering. Ills hair lias returned, it mi is
thick aud strong, and It's scalp as sweet anil
c,leen us any child's in rim world. 1 cannot say
enough to express my gratitude for this wonder
fill cure by tiie cuTiccn i Ubmkpie', ami wisli all
similarly aillicled to know that my statement is
true and without exaggeration.

I have seen Mr. McKay's boy when badly
affected with the Eczema. He was a pitiful
sight to look at. I know that lie lias trie*t our
liest physicians, and did ail a I'uthei could do for
a suffering child, lint availed nothing. 1 know
that tiie statements he has made you as regards
the curing of his boy by your ClTlCL'Rk Kkmkdikh
aro true in every particular.
