importance of these associations, and
their immense advantage to and pop

both as investors and those seeking
homes, and has by this act erected
them into tiie safest financial institu
tions of the state by compelling them
to deposit with the state treasurer
three-fourths of al! the mortgages
and other securities held by them as
security for the share holders. If you
will remember this is required of no
other institutions, and by doing so
the state itself virtually becomes the
guarantor or trustee of all share

“Yes; we have now on deposit with

“Have you made any loans in M'l-

Johnson was asked.
“Yes, we have made several loans
to members of this branch, and in
amount over six times as much as
they have paid in. It is this way:
Our contracts with local branches
stipulate that we will loan them all
the money they pay in, and beside
this a just and equal share of the

Kerosene Oil Again.
State of Georgia, )
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 1G, '91. )
Editor Union-Recorder, Miliedge
ville, Ga.—Dear Sir: In your issue
of December 15th, there is a card from
Mr. Grieye, inspector of oils for your
city, quoting from an issue of earlier
•late, complaining of poor qualities of
kerosene oil, furnished by Standard
Oil Company, and culling for inspec
tion of said oil. The law only requires
oil to be tested in regard to the ex
plosive qualities and not illuminating.
All oil that comes into the state is
tested, and passed if it comes to the
Georgia test, and if it does not it is
not allowed to be put on the market.
There is a good deal of complaint
from certain parts of the state about
the oil. I have had samples drawn
and tested here, and it ail comes up
to requirements, but still gives a very
inferior light. I have also notified
Standard Oil Company, who have
promised to call all inferior oil in, and
turnish better in future. Am doing
all in my power to remedy defect.
Yours truly,
R. T. Nesbitt, Corn’r.
It is a fact that we have the larg
est assortment of Goods. We know
that the prices are right. We can
convince you by comparison. Coma

Fire at Midway.
AND I. COLLEGE.
A Brilliant Concert in Honor
of the Lady Board of
• Visitors.
Thursday, the 17tli, was an event
ful evening in the brief history of
the G. N. & I. College. For the first
time, the building was illuminated
throughout and the doors were
thrown wide open to the friends of
the Institution. Visitors were given
the freedom of the College—“From
turret to foundation stone,” or, in
President Chappell’s graphic para
phrase “from the basement to the tky
parlors in tenth story.”
The occasion was the concert given
tor the benefit of the College Library
fund, And the audience was warm in
its appreciation aud enthusiastic in
its praise.
The program was opened by the
the march from Wagner’s “Taun-
hatiser,” with Misses Treanor, and
Andrews, and Madame Grant at the
piano, and Mr. Hmspetef, of Macon,
as violinist. The spirited rendition of
the opening piece prepared tiie audi-
• n * e for the goo.l things that fol
lowed. ,
Miss Evans, of Macon, in her vocal
solo, captured her Miliedgeville au
dience, and added to the number of
friends who, won to admiration by
her wonderful voice, are bound to
her by the affection, which her wo
manly charms inspire. For an encore
she sang that old ballad of which we
never tire, “Coming Thro’the Rye.”
The Vocal Quartette, “Moonlight
will come again, - ’ brought before the
audience four of the most popular
young people iu Miliedgeville, Misses
Fox anil Mapp and Messrs. Andrews
and Hall. Their singing was heart
ily applauded.
The impersonation, “The Naughty
Girl, ’ by Miss Lillian Porter, a pupil
of the Coliege, brought down the
house, and was a capita bit of act
ing.
The cutest piece on the progrnm
was little Nettie McComb in her song,
“What will you take for me, Papa?”
The little lady was encored.
Miss Alice Burke, also a pupil of
of the College, sang with exquisite
taste, “Rose Leaves.” Miss Burke’s
voice is very much admired and her
friends predict that with care and
cultivation she will devolp into a re
markably fine vocalist.
Miliedgeville people need not be
told that Miss Bessie Lamar’s song,
“The Flower Girl,” was a gem. Miss
Lamar’s voice Is known to a wide
circle in Miliedgeville, Macon aud
elsewhere. She sings with grace and
expression.
Mr. Hinspeter followed with a vio
lin solo, and the lightest tribute that
could be paid him was the rapt si
lence of Ilia audience, followed by the
generous applause when the last,
sweet notes died away on the air.
Once more Miss Evans appeared
and sang a selection from Italian
op^a, and wheD, as an encore, she
sang “Good By,” every heart in the
audience was hers.
A grand chorus followed, rendered
by Madame Grant’s music class, as
sisted by Messrs. Andrews, Hall aud
Hafner, who looked very much in the
minority, but very happy, surrounded
as they were by what Browning calls,
“A superfluity of women.”
After the musical a reception was
held until 11 o’clock. The rules were
relaxed and the college boys and col
lege girls allowed to say “how de do”
to each other. It is surprising too, to
know how much time and what
superabundance of words it required
just to discuss each other’s health and
the state of the weather.
The concert was attended by the
lady visitors appointed by the gov
ernor. who have been in Miliedgeville
inspecting the College.
Altogether it was a pleasant occa
sion and we trust it will be repeated
at some future time.
A Long Felt Want Supplied.
A Perfect Bread Raiser
In which to place any kind of
bread, rusk, muffins and bflek
wheat, etc., anything tlmt lias to
be risen before baked.
Anyone can mix bread but few
raise it successfully for want of a
suitable place to put it, consequent
ly they have half risen, indigestible
bread, which brings dyspepsia in its
many forms; as does the constant
use of baking powder used in bis
uit. This Bread Raiser is so sim
ple that a child can use it with suc
cess. By heat alone is bread raised,
and here is the necessary amount
given, with thermometer to regu
late it, and saves the tired house
keeper many steps, running to see
f the dough is too hot or too cold.
Regulate the heat*by thermometer
according to given directions and
leave it alone, you cannot fail.
Salt rising or milk yeast bread,
which heretofore has been made
with difficulty, raises to perfection
with it. It is also a plate warmer,
and splendid to keep food warm
n case of a late meal or sickness.
They are so durable that they will
last a life time.

It gives me pleasure to recommend Mrs.

housekeeper. The bread made with It Is
the most delicious and wholesome that 1
have ever freeu, and it is so simple und
easily managed that with the most ordi
nary care there is no reason over to make
a failure in its use. My wife, who had had
no previous experience in bread-ranking,
inis, after a single lesson from Mrs. Mapp,
tried it repeatedly, and always with per
fect success.
To show my appreciation of the appara
tus, I have purchased one for my own fam
ily and another of extra largo size for use
in the boarding department of our coltoge,
