Correction:—We gave the dimen sions of the Miliedgeville Cotton Seed 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 ville very occasionally, as they say; but we nevor hear of one of them carrying back twelve yards of cali co covering the “belle of the town.” The ladies of the Baptist Church will give a novel entertainment in the shape of a “Lunch-Basket Party,” at the Court House square on this Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock.

Hunter, in the winter of 1856 and 57, Col. Miller Grieve of this city, we believe, is the only sur vivor. There are two things we never yet saw fail to bring good prices. One is dried apples or peaches, in the Fall and Wiuter, and field peas in June and July. Keep your eye on these two products for “there is millions in ’em,” It is nearly time for our Dry-Goods men to take ttieir Summer trip North. We anticipate an uuudually brisk trade next Fall and Winter, and our lynx-eyed Dry-goods men will not be caught napping—rest assured fel low countrymen. Why eant’t some Baldwin men make a fortune out of fruit culture as Houston men have done in a single season? Our laud is just as good, our railroad facilities better. So far as we have developed in the fruit ine, there is more in tho land than there is in the man. A touching incident at the burial wn ^ un * er last Friday afternoon was the presence* at the grave, of the venerable widow of the late Judge ^ an ‘ H > an( l mother of • unter’s deceased wife. It has een many a day since wo have seen a e^ellent woman present on a public occasion. 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. entir i SC01 ! tinue hissemi-weekly publi- aftei-!! a !

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, was anounced by handbill to make an address last night for the benefit of Trinity C. M. E. Church. Among other things he said he would prove that Adam and Eve were neither white or black. Cod fish and Irsli Potatoes, at John M.
