Je.
The conditions under which Mr. Geo.
Smith donated $6,000.00 to build the
mre.li, have all been met, and the
l0 uey placed on deposit in the bank.
Smith has also given his check for

illedgeville.
We congratulate the Presbyterians
hat their efforts have been crowned
itli success.

They were here for the purpose of in
specting the water power at Furman’s

to aid in its development. Accompan
ied by Mr. C. F. Howe, they went out
to the shoals and made a thorough in
spection of the power. Mr. Howe in
forms us that they seemed very much
pleased with tlie power, but they did
not give out any information of their
intentions. It is hoi>ed that they will

Milleiteeville Fair Association.
The Milledgeville Fair Association is
putting in some good work now, and
everything is moving to the end of hav
ing a good Fair iu October.
At a call meeting held May 7tli, one
of tlie resolutions was as follows:
“It was further ordered that sugges
tions on premium offerings, common to
all tin* people, be made by the people,
to appropriate the money which is tlie
n<* earnings from the fair held in Mill
edgeville on the mb dav of November,
iswa.”
The idea of tlie above resolution is for
tlie people, anybody, who will suggest
a commodity or anything to he com
peted for that is made or can be made or
had by the penile and is of value and
deserves a place in a Fair.
The money earned at the last Fair
was from prowiiums donated by the mer
chants. bankers, farmers, professional
men and the people, generally, of Bal
dwin county, amt now the directors of
the Milledgeville i air Association wisli
to distribute this money, as the people
would like to have it in premiums.
Your suggestion will be considered a
favor, and from a whole lot of sugges
tions the directors wish to make the pre
mium list which will appear later for
this particular fund.

Gus King, a negro man, was found
dead in the road near McComb’s mount
last Friday morning with his body rid
dled with shot,
Coroner Scott wqs notified, and went
out to the scene of the crime and held
an inquest. At the examination of wit
nesses the following facts were gath
ered:
That early Thursday night the report
of a shot-gun had been heard by those
residing in the neighborhood, but that
no one had seen who fired the shot. A
few minutes, however, before the report
was heard, Albert Young had left his
home carrying a shot-gun, and that he
had previously threatened the life of
King.
After the examination of several wit
nesses the jury returned a verdict that
King had come to his death from the ef
fect of wounds inflicted by a shot gun,
and recommended the arrest of Young,
as the perpetrator of the murder.
Sheriff Proseer immediately placed
Young under arrest and brought him to
this city, and placed him in jail.
We learn that other evidence has been
found, which points more strongly to
the guilt of Young.

tion. With them it is no frolic, but busi
ness. They recognize the good of camp
instruction and are co-operating heartily
with the school authorities to make the
two weeks in camp pleasant and profit
able. Gradually the citizens of the
town are manifesting a keen interest in
the project. They are coming in steadi
ly increasing numbers to the 6 p. m.
dress parade. Last Thursday afternoon
the Board of Trustees inspected the
camp and witnessed the dress parade.,
To a man they were surprised and grati
fied. They were quick to realize that
tlie scheme had more in it tlian they
supposed. Study and drill, camp duty
and camp discipline, are going forward
hand iu hand. The cadets will come
out of camp better in every way than
when they went in. This camp was a
happy conception. It is doing good and
will prove a distiuct benefit, to the
school.
Mr. W. H. Montgomery lost his home,
“Billie”, Saturday night. He was
valuable horse, as he was as gentle as
could be, and was never known to’be
come frightened at anything. On ac
count of his good qualities, Mr. Mont
gomery and family had become very
much attached to him and prized him
very highly.
Col. Wm. Obear, Inspector General,
of the State troops, will inspect the
Baldwin Blues next Friday night. The
Company is on probation, and uikjii
the result of tlie inspection depends
whether it will remain among the State
Trooiw or be mustered out. There has
been much improvement made by the
Blues -since the last inspection, and it
is hoped that they will -stand a credita
ble inspection this time.
GOING TO COLUMBUS.
The annual conclave of the Grand
Conrmandery, Knights Templar, will
be held in Columbus this week and a
large number of Plantagenet Comman-
dery will attend.
A meeting of Phmtagenet was heldj
last night, for tlie purpose of asoer-
tairnng the exact number who weald
go. Grand Commander Wm. E. Rey
nolds is exceedingly anxious tliat at least
twenty-five members should go. so that
a splendid showing can be made. Those
going will leave for Columbus to-night.
ATTENTION BALDWIN BLUES.
As will appear from the foregoing
outline, tlie plan of the approaching com
mencement has been changed materi
ally from the first announcement. Capt.
Hobson could not make the annual ad
dress on Any day but Monday, owing to
a lecture engagement he had previously
made in Brooklyn, N. Y., for Wednes
day. The change was made' to accom
modate Capt. Hobson. It would be an
anachronism to put the graduating ex
ercises afG-^tue annual oration; hence
when it was decided to have Capt. Hob
son speak on Monday, tlie other
changes followed of necessity. The
present plau shortens the time of com
mencement considerably and forces tlie
school to utilize Saturday night in order
to bring in all of the exercises. This
last is, of course, objectionable, but it is
hoped nobody will suffer serious incon
venience. Tlie speakers pud reciters
will ; lxi freesr from embarrassment iu
speaking at night, and they therefore
heartily approve the cJiauge.
* r
*
All of tlie commencement exercises
will be held in tin- college chapel except
the play, which will be given in the op
era house. The drill* of Monday will
at course take place on the parade ground
usual. There will be no charge for
may performance except the play. The
price of admission to that to be an
nounced later.
The battalion is in fine fettle. Thurs
day’s dress parade was a really credit
able exhibition. Every thing moved
with the regularity of clock-work. Not,
a mistake occurred. Officers and men
know their duties perfectly, and they
perform them with the ease and grace
of trained soldiers. Capt Scott has no
fear that Ins men will fail to put up a
good inspection. The boys are as am
bitious as are their instructors to make a
fine showing—to lead every military
school iu the state, indeed.
A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Mr. Terrell Whitten, of Baldwin
county, and Miss Pearl Tanner, of Han
cock, were married Sunday, the 1st inst.
The marriage was a ruu-away affair,
on account of the objection of Miss
Tanner’s parents.
During tlie past year Miss Tanner lias
been teaching at Pleasant Grove. Mr.
Whitten, who resides in that neigh beo*
hood, won her love, and they agreed to
marry a few days previous to the clos-
ng of her school, but their plans were
intertered with by the bride’s mother.
Miss Tanner returned to her home in
Hancock county Saturday. April 80th,
and on Sunday Mr. Whitten went to
church in that neighborhood. The
young lady was also present. The couple
left church together, coming to this
city, where they expected to be married.
They, however, continued their way to
South Baldwin, where the ceremony
was performed.
They then went to their future home
in this county.
On last Wednesday night three large
cannon crackers wet e thrown into and
near the study hall of the Mansion,
while tlio young ladies were studying
their lessons. The loud reports badly
frightened the girls, and for several
minutes consternation reigned. The
crackers were thrown, while Watchman

Capt. Hobson’s address will occur in
the college chattel Monday morning.
The question of accommodating tlie
crowd who will want to hear the dis
tinguished speaker is giving tlie col
lege authorities serious concern. It was
estimated that fully 1500 iieople were
packed in the oStpel on t he occasion of
Minister Wu's visit, two years ago.
Never was a crowd more superbly han
dled. President Reynolds will likely
appoint a committee of leading citizens
to take care of the Hobson crowd, as
lie did for the Wu throngs. If this is
done Capt. SoL Barrett will be again
placed at the lie ad of the committee.

The people yf Milledgeville are coming
to realize more and more the sig
nificance of Copt Hobson’s visit. He
is one of the foremast men of his time.
As a lecturer lie is unrivaled. The G.
M. C. is the only school in the whole
country'to secure him for oommsnee-
mant orator. This is great. The. col
lege has accomplished a remarkable
feat As this fact becomes recognised the
people of the city will naturally desire to
make tlie most of tlie opportunity. And
to this end Mayor Horae will doubtless
call a meeting of citizens, or take other
steps fittingly to do tlie honors of the
occasion. , Capt. Hobson will be here
too short a time for all the courtesies
to be shown him that the Milledgeville
people would like to extend. But while
he is to be the especial guest of the col
lege he is at the same time, and in a
true sense, to be the guest of tlie city.
His visit will be a very distinguished
honor, and the city should show its ap
preciation of this 1 ion of by according iiim
distinguished welcome. Mayor Horae
may be counted on to provide for a suit
able reception of the city s honored
guest.

LECTURE BY MR. GRAVES.
A large crowd gathered in the audi
torium of t-heG. N. I. College, last Fri
day night, to listen to a lecture by
Hon. John Temple Graves. The sub
ject of the lecture was the Demagogue,
and it was delivered in Mr., ©raves’
usual style. He depicted this chasae -
ter in his very worst form, and heiA.
him up to the scorn of the audience.
He left his subject and jiaid a beauti
ful tribute to the kite President McKin
ley and General Lee. His tribute to the
United States flag was especially pretty

This was the last of the series of en
tertainments given uuder the auspices
of the Milledgeville Lyceum.
All of the entertainments given by the
Milledgeville Lyceum liave been first
class and greatly enjoyed by those who
liave attended. It is to be hoped that
the Lyceum will be organized again next
season.
Col. Wm. G. Obc3r, Inspector-Gener
al of Georgia, lias given notice that lie
will inspect the cadet battalion next
Friday afternoon, 18th inst., at an hour
most convenient to the college. It is
likely that the inspection will occur at-
4:30 p. m The cadets have been drill
ing hard since going into camp and the
most of them have attained to consider
able proficiency. The boys naturally
feel a little nervous over the coming
ordeal, but they have no serious dread
of the result. The battalion is iu ex
cellent shape and will no doubt make a
good impression upon the inspector.

Through an order received Saturday
from Headquarters of the Atlantic Di
vision, Governor’s Island, information
comes that Capt. C. L. Beckarts, 16th
Infantry, will make the inspection of
the cadet corps on Tuesday May 17th.
It is a disappointment that the inspec
tion* by the state and the general gov
ernment are to come on different days.
President Reynolds exhausted his re
sources iu an effort to have both on the
same day, but “Uncle Sam” has his
own way of doinit things, and he does
not think of saying “by your leave.”
