Let’s build that cotton factory
this year.
Good school houses in the coun
try must be built.
The Ordinary will do his adver
tising In the Union-Recorder tins

No man can lay any claim to ^lo

At an election held in Scottsboro
last Saturday, W. R- D , u Constables
H. Potter were elected Constable .
The public schools must open in
January. We again call attention
to the notice of the school commis
sioner.
The most reasonable thing in the
world is to expect every good citi
zen to take his county paper and
pay for it.
The eieroises of the college were
resumed last Friday with a large
attendance. All the professors and
teachers were present.
p-A good local paper is the‘best in
dication of progress. A liberal pa
tronage is the only thing that can
insure such a good result.
Coal.—There has been a scarcity
of coal in the city for several weeks
Those wanting coal will be glad to
learn that Mr. W. S. Brooks is pre
pared to supply the demand.
The Union-Recorder promises to
give its readers, during the year
1891, the very best paper its patron-
age will allow. To that end we urge
every subscriber to pay up.
Two young men arrived in this
city last Saturday who have been
at work and laid up money to pay
their own way in college. That’s
the sort of stuff men are made of.
Hon. Bob Berner remarked to a
Constitution reporter last Saturday
that the branch colleges were not
dead, by any means. The appro
priation for 1893 will be made at the
summer session. The farmer legis
lature will take no step backward.
The average newspaper reader
lias a very poor concepfio/i of the
patient toil required to print his
paper. If he realized that every
letter in every word had to be han
dled twice with delicate care and
precision, he would not begrude
nor postpone the small amount he
pays for his paper.
The colored citizens celebrated the
2<5th anniversary of the proclamation
of emancipation Thursday, at the
Baptist church. A procession headed
by the local colored brass braud pa
raded the streets, and then repaired
tothecharch, where several speeches
were made by prominent colored
men.
A silver dime has been regarded as
a proper Christmas gift for a boy of
six years. With this amount to spend
just as he pleased lie was happy. At
ten years of age his wants liuve so in
creased thut they cannot be supplied
for less than twenty-five cents.
When he lias reached the uge of 14
years he wants the earth.
The Alliance of Baldwin county
met at the court house last Saturday
at 10 o’clock a. m. The attendance
was very good. The meeting was
presided over by the president Mr.
, • J'? ar ? er- Mr. R. N. Latuar was
elected vice President and J E

city last Sunday morning “For

Week of Prayer.
This week has been set apart by
the Evangelical Alliance as a week of
prayer. The pastors of the Metho
dist, Baptist and Presbyterian church
es in this city will unite in a service,
to be held every afternoon, at the
Presbyterian church, at 3 o’clock.
The members of the several churches,
and the public generally are cor
dially invited to attend these meet-
lngs. ^
We had the pleasure of attending a
reception tendered by Miss Rose Smith
at her father’s residence at Forsyth on
the Slst. When we arrived we found
the parlor filled with beautiful young
ladies and handsome young men.
Conversation and music were iudulgj
ed in until eleven o’clock when sup
per was announced. The guests pro
ceeded into the dining hall and were
soon enjoying all the delicacies that
one could desire. After returning to
the parlor, it became known that the
old year was dying and a new one
dawning. Thus 1890 departed and
1891 came in upon a scene of gaiety
that will always linger with us ns one
of the pleasantest events of our life.
The guests departed at a late hour
declaring Miss Smith the best hostess
in the land.
The legislature lias made a liberal
appropriation for common schools.
Now the country people should
build good school houses and furn
ish them with comfortable seats.
Any school district could do this,
if they would go down into their
pockets. The best investment any
neighborhood could make would
be to build a good school house.
During a short stay in Gordon we
had the pleasure of visiting the office
of The Gordon Press. We found the
genial and clever editor, Mr. Brewer,
at his table with his ready peu in
hand and Dan Vaughn at the case.
They by their united efforts publish
one of the best weeklies in the state.
For some time past the citizens of
Gordon have united their efforts and
are doing everything in their power
to push their town forward. There
is a new store being built, and, also
many other improvements going on.
The Coroner’s jury, after hearing
the evidence, rendered the follow
ing verdict in the Nathan Loyd case.
We copy from the Eatc^itou M#s-
senger: ,
“We, the jury, find that Nathan
Loyd came to his death from the
effects of a rifle or a pistol ball
wound, inflicted while he was resis
ting arrest by officers of the law,
the shot supposed to have been fir
ed by Capt. Ennis, sheriff Baldwin
county, in the discharge of duty
and in self-defense.”
The Milledgeville Oil and Fertilizer
Company gave satisfaction to their
customers the past season. They are
now offering a high grade Guano,
Acid phosphate and Cotton Seed
Meal. They deserve and will doubt
less receive a liberal patronage. See
advertisement in another column.
Died at the residence of Mr. W.
J. Brake in this city, on Saturday
evening, Jan. 3rd, 1891, Mrs. Gar
