It is ex Dected that the several schools of the city will spend the day at Powell Park. Our office was the recipient yester- day of two magnificent roses from the flower beds of Mrs. Henry Goodman of this city. They were of the Paulde- ron variety. A letter has been received by our Board of Trade from Lieut. Carter, of Savannah, making enquiries about the Oconee river, with a view to the opening of the river. There was a large excursion (white) from Eatonton to Powell Park on Thursday. The dummy trains were crowded, and many walked to the city from the Central depot, e.nd took neat trains to the Park. You may talk about your Exposi tions, Fairs, and Chautauquas—they are good enough in their places, but there is no place in Georgia that has such a magnetism about it as the State Lunatic Asylum. The third prohibition election of Baldwin county occurred last Tues- , 1 h ? P° lls were opened at 7 oclockwith Judge Jas. A. Green, Col. K. W. Roberts and Mr. C. R. Harper as managers. A number of ladies as- seiubled at the court ?oora above the polling place, aud throughout the uay their voices were heard in sweet and sacred songs. The impression was strong throughout the day that the vote would be “Against the sale,” but the counting of the ballots told a different story. THK RESULT. For the sale, Against the sale 3(53 Majority for the sale 39 The total registration was 1305. Hie total vote polled 705. At 13 o clock on Wednesday, no notice of contest having been filed, the Ordina ry declared the result to be. “For the sale.” The same quiet, orderly demeanor that had characterised our people throughout tlie campaign prevailed during the day, until ahout 5 o’clock, when a difficulty arose between Mr. Win. Lingould of the Scottsboro dis- Gict and a negro by the name of Spencer Moore. It is said that a dis pute occurred on the exciting ques tion of the day, and the parties walk ed off together when the negro was seen to cut Lingould and then get into a buggy and rapidly leave town. Mr. Charles Prosser who was on the po lice force was promptly dispatched af ter him, and after crossing the river met Mr. Joe Tucker bringing the negro back to the city. The negro was lodged in the jail. The wounds of Lingould were very serious and Drs. Harris and Robinson thought he could live but a few hours. Ex citement ran high and Sheriff Ennis fearing that nn effort to lynch the negro might occur placed a guard of the Baldwin Blues in the jail Tuesday night and on Wednesday carried the negro to the Macon jail for safe keep ing. Contrary to expectation Mr. Lingould rallied on Wednesday and now hopes of his recovery are enter tained. Retail Liquor License. Our College Department is highly appreciatedoy many of oar readers. We thank Prof. Reynolds and the students who act as editors under bis direction. We trust they have found pleasure in the noble work. Mrs. Sarah Cowser, who once resid ed in this city, died tn South Macon, on Friday last. Her remains were sent to this city on Friday last for bu rial. She was 76 years of age. Mr. J. S. Alfred, of Atlanta, I«sur- nee Inspector, inspected and approv ed the Electric Light system in this \city, last week. Mr. J. H. Beyars, nfoims ns that he did not order the •lightest change in the works. The papers, in some parts of the Itate, persist in saying that Mr. Lin- :ould died from the wounds given dm by the negro last Tuesday. This s an error. He is not dead but doing airly well at the time we write, Sat- rday. We learn that valuable timber is eing cut on Mr. Sweeney’s plnnta- ion a few miles down the river and afted to the Central railroad or Da- ien. This shows the necessity of pening the river so that Milledge- ille may have the privilege of hand ing and manufacturing this timber, t is said that there are large quanti- es of the most valuable timber in ■ae world growing on the river in 25 biles of this city. 1 We publish in another column of his paper a synoptic program, but ully explanatory, of the appro ng Commencement exercises o a. G. M. & A. College in this city, /irepared by its Accomplished presl- /lent, Maj. J. Colton Hynes, which /will be of interest to a.large portion of / Dur readers. President I.ynes, be sides being a polished gentleman, and thorough scholar, is a man of culti vated taste, fine address nnd untiring energy. The residence of Mr. G. T. Whilden on Jefferson st., wag a scene of gaye- ty last Friday evening, the young ladies of the “Message Bearers,” a missionary society of the Methodist church, giving an entertainment to the young men members of their so ciety. They had arranged a program of music and recitations, which was much enjoyed and highly apprecia ted by those present. Electric Lights.—The electric lights have been used in the churches and stores for tome weeks, but they were turned on the street lamps, for the first time, last Saturday night.— The lights were splendid—as near per fect as possible—and gave general de light and satisfaction. The street light circuit has not yet been comple ted, but the balance of the street poles will be up in a few days and then the contract with the city for lighting the streets will go into effect. Last Sunday was Children’s Day at the Methodist church. The superin tendent, Capt. W. T. Conn, presided. ~?he exercises consisted of prayer by be pastor, Rev. J. M. White; respon- ponsive Bible reading by superinten- nt and sehool; admirable and well rendered recitations by Master Henry rooks and Miss jPauline Caraker, followed by an interesting, appropri ate and eloquent address by Jos. E. Pottle, Esq. The exercises were in terspersed with sweet music—Miss Au- rte Brantley presiding at the organ. The church was crowded. The New Davis Vertical feed Sew ing Machine for sale by W. H. Bass beats them all. Don’t buy until you see it. As will be seen by the official pro ceedings, published elsewhere in this paper, that the City Council have fixed the retail license at five hundred dol lars and issued a number of license The parties holding city license are making active preparations to begin business. The County Commissioners have, however, laid a tax of ten thous and dollars on the business, and it looks like a contest was about to be inaugurated between the city and county officials. Since writing the above the City Council have held a meeting and re solved to protect and defend the li censes granted by them, Alderman Newell and Conn protesting.
