OPENING DAY
Of the Georgia Normal and Indus
•trial College.
Tomorrow morning. Wednesday,
Sept. 13th, at 9 o’clock, the Georgia
Normal and Industrial College be*
gins its third annual session. The
opening exercises will lie very simple
and will consist of the following:
1. Brief address to students by
President Chappell.
2. Reading from the Scripture and
Prayer.
3. Song.
4. Announcement of Plan of Or
ganization.
Then will follow the matriculation
of pupils and the' regain r organiza
tion of tins school.
though these exercises are not in
tended for the public, we are author
ized by President Chappell to su.v
that any citizens of Miiledgeville
who may wish to be present will be
heartily welcomed. He estimates
that tiie school will open with 250
pupils, coming from nearly one hun
dred counties in Georgia. A number
of tbe young ladies from a distance
will be accompanied by their parents
or other relatiyes.
By a regulation of the school, stu*
dents are forbidden to reach here
uutil the day before school opens,
consequently none have yet arrived,
but by bed time tonight there will
be nearly three Hundred in town, all
comfortably domiciled at the Domi«
tory and the various private boards
lug houses. They will come in by-
scores on every train today. The
largest crowd will probably reach
here, by the C o'clock Central train
this afternoon; another big crowd
will come by the Central’s special
reacliiug here about 10 o'clock to
night. Of course all Miiledgeville
will be agog fo see and welcome the
fair invaders. “Arrival Day” a ud
“Opening Day’ of the G. N. & j.
College are great days for Milledge-

MRS. ANNIE ABBOTT.
At Home Agam, After an Absence
of Three Years in Europe,
Mrs. Annie Abbott, the famous elec
tric wonder of Georgia, now world-re
nowned, lias returned to America,
after an absence of three years in
Europe.
She arrived in New York by the
Steamer Arbina on the 3rd of Sep
tember and hastened South to visit,
her relatives. She arrived in this
city by Central train Wednesday
evening and repaired at once to the
residence of her mother, Mrs. E. H.
Jarratt, where she is quietly taking
a much needed rest.
The magnetic little woman still
retains the beauty for which she was
noted, with the added charm of pret
ty foreign airs acquired by distin*
guished association abroad.
She sailed from New York for Eng
land on October 21, 1891. After a
most successful career in London,
where her wonderful feats not only-
puzzled the scientists and most dis*
tinguislved physicians, but attracted
and received the patronage of roy»
alty, she went to the continent
whero she continued to enjoy an ova
tion wherever she appeared, aud was
everywhere regarded as one of the
wonders of the world.
After having visited all the noted
places in Europe, where she was a
wonder among wonders, and attracts
ed the admiring attention of the
nobility from whom she received
many beautiful and valuable pres
euts, she has returned to her child
hood’s home for a brief rest. She
will remain with her mother in this
city tor a few weeks and then join
her husband who is now booking a
second tour in the United States and
Canada.
Mrs. Abbott has kindly promised
to use her leisure in preparing some
sketches of her travels for publica
tion in the Union-Recorder.
The Demorest Medal Contest.
One of the most interesting con
tests ever gotren ud by the W. C. T.
U. of this city came off at the Court
House last Friday uiglit. Although
the evening was quite inclement a
large audience gathered to witness
the contest of tlie young giants.
Rev, 1). W. Branuen presided and
opened the exercises with prayer.
The contestants declaimed in tiie
following order: R. B. Moore, II. S.
Sanford, O. F. Wall, T. A. Vaughan,
C. T. Crawford aud J. M. Moore.
The selections were fine and were
delivered ina spirited manner, worthy
tbe cause and creditable to the as
piring young orators. The prize, a
silver medal, was awarded to Mr. C.
T. Crawford, who scored another suc
cess to several recent achievements
as an orator of more than ordinary
merit. The judges were Prof. W.
E. Reynolds, Dr. G. D. Case and Mr.
B, T. Betliune. The medal was
presented by Mr. C. B. Hendrix.
At tiie close of the exercises a
beautiful basket of flowers was pre*
sented to Capt. D S. Sanford by the
W. C. T. 1J. in recognition of the j
nobh words he lias uttered in this
city in favor of prohibition. Mr. C.
B. Hendrix was tiie spokesman for
the ladies in their beautiful token
of appreciation of our worthy-
fellow citizen on the eve of his de
parture to Oklahoma to fill a gov
ernment appointment.
Cap!. Sanford accepted the flow-1
ers with deep emotion, saying the I
memory of tiiis occasion would be a I
well spring in his heart and keep alive
his prohibition sentiments wherever i boys carried their re a s to
be went.
At a meeting of the city counci
last Thursday night all the lawyers j

The contest for the new reel to de
cide the tie between the companies
of Capt. Emmett Barnes and Capt.
Robt. 'Walls, came off on Jefferson
stroet last Tuesday afternoou at 4
o’clock. A large crowd, in which
there many ladies, assembled to wit"
ness the exciting contest. Capt.
Barnes company made the run of
100 yards and showed water in 37
seconds, while Capt. Walls company
accomplished the same results in 51
seconds. The hill company was de
clared tho winner, aud the new reel
was turned over to them.
CONTEST FOR THK LANTERN.
The contest for the lantern then
took place. The test for this prize
was to run 100 yards and throw the
first water in a circle of ten feet
around the bell-tower. The com
panies were stationed at the follow
ing points: Miiledgeville Hotel, Ed
wards’ House, Horne’s corner, and
Catholic church. The start was
made at the tap of the fire bell.
All the companies made splendid
time. Capt. Barnes’ comnany was
the winner, and the lantern went
with the new reel on the hill.
THE PRESENTATION.
Col. C. T. Crawford was called
upon to present the prize. A large
crowd gathered in front, of the drug
store of Messrs. Culver, Case & Kidd.
Mr. Crawford mounted a box. lan
tern in hand, and in a pretty anil
appropriate speech presented it to
the victors. He spoke of the ad
vantages of our city in possessing
such a fine system of water works,
and with a well organized fire de
partment in tiie hands of our gallant
young men, she possessed the ability
to cope with the fire fiend, which in
the past had laid waste the fairest
structures of the old capital. Whil
lie complimented tho victors he spoke
words of encouragement and praise
to those who failed in the first, con
tests,
CAPT. D. S. SANFORD.
Before the crowd dispersed the
voice of MY. Warren Edwarifh. tiie
popular and efficient Quarter-master
of the Baldwin Blues, was heard
calling for Capt. D. B. Hanford, who
was seen a few minutes before hold
ing the nozzle of reel company No. 1,
which made a gallant- run to tbe
bell tower from Jefferson street.
Other voices united in the call, and
soon Capt. Sanford appeared,-won
dering for what he was wanted
The story was soon told by Mr. Ed
wards’ little son Andrew who stoed
on the top of a reel, witli head un
covered aud a gold headed cane in
his hand. He said he had a mission
to fill from tiie Baldwin Blues. Hav
ing learned that their beloved Cap
tain would soon leave hgiue. to fill a
government appointment in tho far
west, they desired to present him
with a memento of their affection
aud had sent him this cane, The
proud little messenger of the Blues
spoke in fitting terms of the great
service Capt. Sanford had beefi in
keeping alive tiie gallant old com
pany. The only solace fo • their sor
row in parting with him was that
our loss was his gain.
Capt Sanford was taken altogether
i In surprise and was deeply moved by
j this evidence of affection on the part
j of liis late command. He thanked
| them in a few words, fitting and
j heartfelt.
REEL HOUSES.
Tim crowd then dispersed and the
tiie reel

Sickness is often a blessing to a
man, bringing him to a realizing
sense of his dependence upon a
higher power. An enforced suspen
sion of business or laber gives linn
an opportunity to enquire, “where
he is at.” He may drop out of the
busy throng for a short time, or for
all time, and there is no perceptible
cessation- in the whirl and buzz of
tiie wheels of progress. His place Is
speedily filled; he is missed by only
a few, and not long by them. The
man who thinks he can t afford to
he sick is mistaken. A man who lifts
been brought low. and recovers re
enters business a better man, and
should never again allow himself to
be pulled or pushed out of sight of
the inevitable hour when he will
not be able to beg off from Death.
