A Benefit for the College,
Tuesday, Junk 14th.
The Union Square Dramatic Co.,
will give, at Amusement Hall to-night,
a benefit for the M. G, M. & A. Col
lege, when will he presented, “Amer
ican Dorn, one of the finest sensa
tional plays on the boards. It is to
be hoped that our citizens will turn
out very generally, on this occasion,
and thus express their appreciation
of the generous tender of the Dra
matic Company, and materially aid a
cause in which every member of the
community is directly concerned.
Aside from these considerations, is
the additional one of contributing to
the furtherance of the active and un
selfish purpose which many of our
zealous female friends and admirers
of the College have in view, of estab
lishing a Society of ladies in the city,
the main object of which is to be the
advancement of the material inter
ests of our noble college. And with
all these forcible auxiliaries, appeal
ing to the public spirit and pride and
generosity of our people, there is the
more selfish consideration of an ev
ening’s entertainment of unusual in
terest, to be enjoyed for a very mod
erate outlay. Come out, citizens of
the town and vicinity, and by your
presence at the “Benefit’’ to-night,
manifest somewhat of that intense
pride in our College, which was re
cently displayed in honor of a portion
oT its meritorious charge.
It is proper to state that the trus
tees and faculty lmve no part in the
above arrangement. It is gotten up
by outside lriends of the college who
have certain improvements in view.
We are also informed, reliably, that
the Union Square Dramatic Compa
ny will give a benefit to-morrow,
i Wednesday) evening, at Amusement
lull, in aid of the Ex-Cadets of the
M. G. M. A A. College, In their re
union entertainment on Wednesday
evening of Commencement. This
kind offer of the Dramatic Co., ought
to fill the Hall from gallery to floor.

Sevaral members of the asylum
committee of the legislature and sev
eral of the Trustees visited the asylum
on Monday last, and again on Thurs
day to receive bids for the artesian
well that is to be bored there, but
there was not a quorum present and
nothing was done about it. When it
is done it will prove a great blessing
even if they fail to get one to overflow
but lmve to work it with pumps like
the one in Atlanta.
Dr. Jas. M. Whitaker first Asst.
Physician of the asylum, together
with, his whole family left last Thurs
day for a sojourn of several weeks at
St. Simon’s Island.
Mr. O. C. Summers, a, ekillfnl work
man and master ineclianic-at the asy
lum, lias been for some weeks, and is
still, confined to his bed and seriously
ill, first with fever and subsequently
with a severe attack of rheumatism.
He is only recently married and has
many friends who earnestly hope for
his speedy recovery.
“Oil consistency thou art a jewel.”
This old quotation brings to mind
that Dr. Hall lias a notice on his
monkey cage .retesting v j s jt 0 rs not
to tease the monkeys and yet he has
in the cage a young puppy solely for
the monkeys " to amuse themselves
with by teasing it. And it would
make the most sobersided, staid, old
stoic laugh to see how they do tease
it. Like bail boys they will pull it,
punch it, strike a’t it and worry it till
it becomes desperate and makes light,
when they spring up into the swing
or on the side of the cage out of its
reach and continue their pranks and
finally reach down catch the puppy
by the nape of the neck and lift him
clean off the floor, when the puppy
will set up a piteous howl and the
monkey then, just like a bad boy, as
if he feared some one would hear it
and come to chastise him, drops the
puppy and puts on the most innocent
look imaginable. There is a grown
cat m the cage too that submits
some to be pulled around by the
monkeys, but they seem afraid to
take quite as many liberties with her
feline majesty as they do with the
puppy, for when she gets tired of it
she sputters anil spits and gives them
such a slap with her keen claws as to
make them treat her with more res
pect than they do the more helpless
puppy. They ’show no animosity nor
desire to harm either the puppy or
the cat, seeming perfectly contented
to tease them simply for their own
amusement.
Speaking of the monkeys there nre
some people like them—who seem to
have no higher aim in life than to
tease, make sport of, and cut their
wit at others, regardless of whether
they like it or not and then think it
unreasonable for the aggrieved party
to take offense. Such people are as
unreasonable as the little boy who
took delight In beating his little
brother in the head with a hammer,
and when the brother objected would
call out “Mu I wish you’d'make Bob
hash, every time I hit him in the
head with the hammer he hollers.”
The asylum Cornet Band for their
own benefit gave an ice cream festi
val last Tuesday night, in connection
with which there was at the male con
valescent hall one of the most enjoya
ble dances of the season. Quite a
number from town came out and had
a fine time generally. Some eighteen
or twenty dollars were realized. They
will have another some night during
the commencement week, probably
about next Thursday week, or some
night that will not interfere with any
of the entertainments in town.
Dr. Hall has added some black and
grey spotted rabbits to his zoological
collection and he Ims such a variety of
animals in it now that it is quite a
treat to visit it.
Mrs. J. W. Cowser and her two
daughters of Macon are spending a
week with Mr. A. C. Smith, ner broth
er, the Midway merchant near the
Asylum. _
So many new and pretty styles
opening this weekJor commencement
at P. J. Cline & Co’s.
Spring Has Opened
—AND —
P. J. CLINE & CO.,
Have Just Finished Opening the Handsomest, Best Selected and Cheapest
SPRING STOCK OF DRY GOODS,
Ever before offered to the Trade of Milledgeville, and we are determined
that the CASH BUYERS shall have goods as cheap, if not CHEAPER, than
they can be bought in any city in the South.
Mr. Lyons of the Mm i n store has been in New York since the first of February, and bought all of our domestic goods before the late
advance in price, and a great many of them wo can sell CHEAPER than they could NOW bo bought from the manufacturers. We have
been fully convinced that the present CREDIT SYSTEM of the country is not what the people want, and that they cannot AFFORD to
stand the CREDIT PRICES, and the only solution of the question is to buy for CASH, and you can buy CHEAP, and when you sell
your crop next fall, instead of paying it all out for debts already contracted, you will have the money in your POCKET, to pay CASH
for what you need.
We will quote you some of our Cash Bargains, and you will see at a
glance that what we say is true.
300 pieces Dress Calico warranted fast colors, for 5 cts.
10 bales Georgia Sheeting one yard wide, for cts.
5 bales yard wide Sea Island, splendid quality, for G£ cts.
100 pieces soft finished Bleaching, stoutor than Fruit of Loom, at cts.
150 pieces of Dress Ginghams of the handsomest patterns, anil best quality made, at 10 cents.
100 pieces White Checked Nainsook, at 6|, 8,10, 12J, 15 and 20 cents, don’t fail to ask for our 6J Nainsook, and the lot at 12£ is a
JOB LOT, slightly soiled on the outside, but perfect inside, and can’t bo bought for less than 20 cents elsewhere.
3,000 yards white Lawn, short lengths, at 3' c.
The biggest job in these goods ever offered, and about half the regular price.
Laces and Embroideries!
Our selection of Torchon, Swiss and Oriental Laces, and Swiss and Lace Flouncing, is BEAUTIFUL, and cheaper than ever.
JVotions! Notions! Notions!
We have the most complete line of fancy notions we have ever had the pleasure of offering, and a great many jobs in this line, and if
you will ask for the JOB LOT of Ladies’ Striped and Colored Hose at 12£ cents, you will find something worth nearly double the money,
and the line of Ladies,’ Gents’ and Children’s Handkerchiefs, that are wonderfully cheap, and extra largo size papers of English pins with
steel points, at 5 cents a paper, and five smaller papers of the same pin for 5 cents, and don’t forget to ask for the Ladies Companion at
FIVE CENTS a piece, worth four times the price.
Dress Goods! Dress Goods! Dress Goods.
Great pains have been taken in the selection of our stock of Spring and Summer Dress Goods this season, and we must say that in every-
instance where they have been shown, the general verdict is that they are JUST LOVELY, and EXCEEDINGLY" CHEAP. Wo have
all the latest styles and patterns in Satins and Muslins, with both colored and white laces to match, for trimming them with, and in
Worsted Dress Goods all the new and delicate shades of Albatros, Armours, Canvass Cloth, Cashmeres, and Nun’s Veiling, with" light

Silk and Satin from the finest to the cheapest quality. You can’t fail to bo suited in either color, price or quality.

o,n tlio dollar, and a great many of them imported. We have them on salo this Spring, and will sell them for ONE-HALF their real val
ue. Elegant assortment of Georgia madQ Cottonades, Brown, Striped and Checked Linen for Men and Boys vory cheap.

SUMMER the entire stock of the wholesale house of Rosenfield it Lilienthal of Macon, at fifty cents on the dollar, and wo will sell them
