Correction:—We gave the dimen

Oil Factory at 40 by 00 feet. We
should have said 40 by 80 feet for the
two stories in the main building.
The Macon boys come to Miliedge

but we nevor hear of one of them
carrying back twelve yards of cali

There are two things we never yet

is dried apples or peaches, in the Fall

It is nearly time for our Dry-Goods

Why eant’t some Baldwin men

there is in the man.

mini 110 .'^' )or °t the Chronicle, an-
issuo of Friday that he
Bounces in his
The Oconee Bridge.
The first instalment of fixtures, or
material, for the new Iron bridge to
be built over the Oconee opposite
this city came in by the dummy last
Thursday morning. Other parts will
follow soon, and the entire structure,
we are informed will be completed by
first of September, in time to give our
“over the river” people a convenient
access to the market of their choice
for their cotton aud other produoe.
We look upon this addition to Bald
win's public spirit and enterprise as
second to none other in the coun
ty. It will bo a monument to the
patient, long-suffering, but ever pio-
gresslve animus of our county poo-
ple.
Death of Hr*. Lumpkin.
Mrs. Nancy P. Lumpkin, mother of
our esteemed fellow citizen, W. W.
Lumpkin, Esq., died at the residence
of her son in this city on Tuesday
last, after an illness of several weeks,
aged 05 years. Her remains were car
ried to Uniou Point, Ga., and interred
in tiie family burial ground where her
husband and three of Mr. W. W.
Lumpkin's children are buried. A
large number of old friends of the
family met the remains at Union
Point and attended the burial on
Wednesday.
“I Don’t Know.”
What pitiful words aro these some
times. f ‘My son I forgive you, but
why did you do it?” From a repen-,
tant and heavy heart, ho answers,
“Father, I don’t know.” How piti
ful! “My daughter, I take you back
with all the -shame you bring, but
why did you not take my advice?"
From the depths of deep sorrow
and repentance* she cries, “Papa, I
don’tknow." When the great Judge,
In the last Court, opens the books,
and puts the question, “why did ye
not hear my voice and obey my com
mandments?” may we all find that
mercy, and forgiveness that our
earthly father gives.
Base Ball in Warrenton.
Last Tuesday morning a team left
for Warrenton to play the second
game of ball with the club of that
place. Tiie game was not very inter
esting ns our boys saw from the first
that it would be impossible for them
to down Warrenton. Mr. James Nall
pitched and Mr. 8. B. Fowler caught,
they filled their positions well. At
the end of the ninth inning the score
stood 20 to 7 in favor of Warrenton.
Capt. C. H. Herty was quite un
well.
Mr. Horne, J. J. Wootten and J.
I. Garrard, short stop and battery did
not go over.
Mr. Frank Andrews was severely
hurt by one of the boys falling on
him. <
The boys report a nice time.
Warrenton will be over in a few
days and play the rub game.
City v». Country Hoiftes.
Families are seeking homes in the
cities, schools «Dd society being the
moving causes. It has been said that
Cotton is king—but Baby is . king.—
Cotton is only one commodity—all
commodities and all interests are mov
ed in the interest of children. The
poor man toils for his children—the
rich man plans, speculates and in
vests for his children. The towns and
cities offer the best educational ad
vantages, and hence those families
who can arrange to move to town are
regarded as peculiarly fortunate.—
Whether or not this movement from
the country to the city is best for the
future general prosperity of the coun
try, we will not discuss here. It is a
fact, and there can be no doubt the
individual good of families is greatly
promoted thereby, and the demand
for homes in town is increasing. To
live in tiie country and keep up the
farm is desirable and ought to be done
—by other people—so a man thinks,
while lie is quietly working for a home
and business in the city. If people
will go to town, where can they find
so many inducements as are offered in
Miliedgeville. We have tiie best school
in Georgia; quiet, law-abiding, sober
people; intelligent, Christian society;
delightful climate; many facilities for
innocent enjoyment at small cost; in
fact everything to make a.home hap
py and desirable. Residences can now
be bought cheap. If you would like
to purchase a home in Miliedgeville
call on or write to Bethune & Moore,
real estate agents, who will secure
a place for you at a price and on
terms to suit your circumstances.
Resignation of Gen. Hill.
Judge D. B. Sanford, President of
the Board of Trustees of the M. G. M.
& A. College has received a letter
from Gen. D. H. Hill tendering his
resignation as President of the Col
lege. The feeble state of the Gene
ral’s health, whicli has not improved
we regret to learn, was the cause that
determined him to take tills step.
Our people who had learned to love
aud respect him will part with him
and his estimable wife with sincere
sorrow.

A Craiy Woman Dies on the Train.
A colored Bailiff from Chat
ham county, by the name of
Simmons, left Savannah last Satur
day with two crazy negro women,
bound for the Asylum. One of the
women died on tiie train between
Gordon aud Miliedgeville. Arriving
at the depot in tin’s city at 2.4-5 p. m.,
the Bailiff procured a hack and
brought them into the city. The liv
ing and the dead sitting side by side,
the hack was stopped in front of the
office of Coroner Scott, where a curi
ous crowd soon collected. The Coro
ner decided that it was a case with
which he had nothing to do, especial
ly as the death occurred in Wilkin
son county. The hack with its ghast
ly burden then proceeded to the Asy
lum. Of course the authorities re
fused to receive the dead woman.
Patients almost dead are sometimes
forced upon them, but they do not
receive corpses. The live woman was
left, and the dead one brought back
to the city, and left at the house of a
colored family near Fishing creek
bridge. The Bailiff then opened cor
respondence, by telegraph, with the
Sheriff of Chatham county, whereby
arrangements were made for the bu
rial of the body in this city. The bu
rial took place in our city cemetery
on Sunday.
Rev. H. W. Madison, pastor of a
colored church in Washington City,

white or black.
