O. F. (colored) had a celebration last
Friday. An address by Rev. J. A.
Davis was delivered at the Opera
House at 3 o’clock, r. M., and a street
parade followed, the Asylum brass

Watermelons were so abundant on
the streets last week that it was hard
to make a sale of them at any price,
I especially those of an inferior quality.
I \Ve counted ten wagons on the streets
before 7 a. m. Friday morning, load
ed to the top. Pretty fair melons
were sold at two for a nickle.
The garden specialist, on the to

seen daily last week at Mr. Tom

raising tomatoes he can’t be excelled.

DEATH OF MR. DAN. CARAKER.
It is with feelings of sorrow that
we are called upon to record tho
death of one of our oldest and best
known citizens. Mr. Daniel Caraker
died at his residence in this city, nt
7 o’clock, last Sunday morning, 21st.
Ho was about seventy years of age,
and had been a resident of this city
for tiie past sixty years, occupying
for the past forty years tho house in
which he died.
In his young manhood, Mr. Cara
ker possessed great muscular power
and a wonderfully vigorous consti
tution, and was a pushing business
man. In those days he was engaged
in the manufacture of brick on the
Oconee river, and also carried on an
extensivo and profitable fishery-
shad then being abundant in our riv
er.
About fifteen years ago his health
began to fail, and he erected a store
near his residence on South Wayne
street, and gave up occupations de
manding hard work and exposure, for
the loss active duties of a merchant.
For several years past he has been
a great sufferer, but his strong will
power kept him up ajid at his place
of business. Ho was a very indus
trious and energetic man—a good cit
izen, kind neighbor and faithful
friend. His third wife and five grown
children, four married daughters
and a son, survive him. He Is the
eldest brother of Messrs. Tobias A.,
William, Jacob and Geo. W. Caraker,
and leaves a host of relatives outeide
of his immediate family, who will
ever cherish his memory. His funeral
took placo from tho Methodist
church, (of which ho was a member)
at 11 o’ofock yesterday morning, the
pastor, Rev. J. R. King, officiating.
NICKLES.
Nickles give pleasure—it is the big
money that makes the trouble. No
body holds tight to nickles. If nickles
were the only money the rich would
feel burdened, with their wealth.—
Nickles go easy, and they go to make
children happy; they find their way
into contribution boxos and into the
palm3 of beggars, freely, without
counting the cost. The boarding be
gins with dimes, for '‘dimes make
dollars,” and there the trouble be
gins. Nickles are mado to spend.
Their mission is a happy one. Little
things make up the joys of life, in
which nickles pLay an important part.
Wo have seen the eyes of children
brighten with happiness in tho pos
session of a nickle. They live in the
present and a nickle covers their im
mediate wants in tho purchase of
oandy or chewing gum. Nickle con
tributions, wo venture to say, are do
ing more for tho church and tho poor
than any other denomination of mo
ney coined. Nickle contributions in
many instances lay tho foundations
of churches and Sunday schools.—
Nickles are the children’s money;
let no selfish hand withhold it from
them. Uncle Bon.
To do as well as one knows how, is
a fair attainment in morals. But to
know what one ought to do, and
then do it, is more than a fail* at
tainment. Many a conscientious per
son is so sadly deficient in moral per
fection as to fall very short of well
doing-even while doing his best. In
order to do what is right, it is essen
tial to know what right is. It is not
enough to keep up to one’s own high
est standard; but one’s own highest
standard^should be a correct stand
ard.—S. S. Times.
Ii IMean Temperature 83.2. Rain 14-100.
High temperature during the week
but moderated by good breezes.
Showers were partial. Some parts
of the county liau more rain than was
needed while others, especially the
southern part, was nearly suffering
for it by the close of the week. From
all accounts the corn crop was gener
ally promising but there is a great deal
of poor cotton to be seen in any direc
tion. Pasture generally is very good.
With opportune rains, a good crop of
peas and hay is promised. There is
no question as to the immensity of
our fruit crop. Peaches, plums,
prunes, grapes, pears, apples, water
melons, mush-melons, bearing in a
away that we have not seen in years.
What a pity that large quantities can
not be canned and dried. The peach
“still” is abroad in the land instead
of the evaporator.

Midway, July22d, 1889.
Rev. J. R. King preached a sermon
last Sunday morning from the text
“Remember the Sabbath day.” The
violation of this oommandment is get
ting to be so common that it is high
time that the voice of the ministry
should be raised against it.

The Leader and Controller of the Dry Goods Shoe, and
Clothing Market, at 14 Wayne St.,
Will be under many obligations, to the male portions of each household, if they will take home a oopy
of the Union-Recorder, and call tho attention of the dear ones to his wonderful prices. The whole
story is just simply this and nothing more:
CLINE is getting ready to tako his departure for tho Northern markets and before doing so, there
are two things lie is Obliged to havo: Money and Room: Monoy to buy goods with, and some place
to put them when they arrive. So in order to accomplish both, something desperate has to bo done:
SO HERE GOES:
35,000 dollars worth of Dry Goods, Shoes, Hats, Cloth*
ing, &c., to be sold Regardless of Value!
“Times are hard, money is scarce,” so cry tho people, but good values causes the long pent up dollars
to be resurrected from their hiding places. And CLINE is going to let the bird of liberty stamped
upon each of them, “Again Come to Light,” Ioobo, and cause happiness and smiles, to illuminate th©
countenances of each and every one of tho happy possessors of the “Dollars of onr Fathers.”
