UNION-RECORDER. Official Organ of City and County W. T. CONN & CO., W HOLESALE DEALERS in Sta ple and Fancy Groceries, Tobac- C MillecUevUle!Oa..Fab. 20tb .1869. 5 6t° LOCAL MENTION. 1891. Pay up. Election to morrow. Liberal spirits grow fat. Send your children to school. Subscribe for the Union-Recorder. 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 year. . . No man can lay any claim to ^lo cal enterprise who fails t i iie his county paper. 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 Steiubridge was elected secretary to fill the vacancy caused bv the death of Judge Ramsay. The meeting was for the Alhancemen only, and wo are M ,o »“'“»• * *» * Rev. H. L. Crumley, agent of flip Orphan s Home at Decatur, preach e l at the Methodist church in this city last Sunday morning “For the poor ye have with you alwavs>’ was the text from which he delive’r- Sj * r e ,7 interesting discourse.- bome folks are incompetent some lazy and some unfortunate • l^ftice over 6 The P °° r Pe ,° ple the --Id o\ei. These poor demand the help and sympathy of the more forth nate, who are thereby saved from selfishness. After the sermon a ccd lection was taken for the Orphan’s Home, which amounted to over £i hi? su Sit -p the election. Thk Election, for county officers of Baldwiu county, comes off to-inor- row, Wednesday, 7th. The candi dates are as follows: For Clerk of the Superior Court- Waiter Paine—no opposition. For Sheriff—C. W. Ennis, John B. Wall and C. I. Robinson. For Tax Receiver—P. T. Ennis and H. E. Hendrix. , For Tax Collector—A. I. Butts, J. G Fowler, W. A. Cook, I. T. Miller, J. F. Wilson and R. A. Steiubridge. For County Treasurer—John M. Edwurds—no opposition. For Couuty Surveyor-Miller Grieve —uo opposition. For Coroner—W. S. Scott and Ben Gause. The following Managers of the election have been appointed: W. I. Harper, J. P., R. W. Roberts and L. H. Thomas. 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 rett, the mother of Mrs. Brake. She had been in feeble health for many months, and was one of the oldest citizens of Milledgeville. Her fun eral took place from the residence at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon, Rev. J. D.
