THE MERCHANTS WILL CLOSE AT SIX
On next Monday the Dry Goods and
other stores will commence closing at
six o’clock in the afternoon, with the
exception of Saturdays.
The ladies of Milledgevllle should
bear this fact in mind, and come down
town in the afternoon early enough to
complete their purchases before six
o’clock.
They can easly do this, and let the
stores'close promptly, so that the clerks
can get a short recreation before the
coming of night.
The clerks, after a day’s confinement
in the store would appreciate the oo
ojierafion of the ladies iu the strict
observance of the closing lionr. '
The many friends of Prof. Eben
Reynolds in this coinmnnity, will be
please to learn that his speech in
response to the address of welcome to
tlie Eight District Association of High
Schools, made at Elberton, last Friday
received very flattering testimonials
from the large audience present. It is
said tiiat the speech was easily the best
made on the occasion.
Immediately upon its conclusion a
copy of the speech was asked for—pre-
snrnbly with the purpose of having it
published iu one of the Elberton papers.
The Union Recorder will be glad to
lay the speech before its readers after it
appears iu the Elberton papers.
It will also be a source of pleasure to
Mr. Reynolds’ many friends and ad
mirers in this community to learn that
the Mouticello High School, of which
he is Superintendent, took second place
in the school meet at Elberton, leading
Madison, Greensboro, Elberton, and
every other school in the Eighth Dis
trict save only the Athens High School.
The latter scored 8,1 points, the Monti-
cello School 24—s difference in the
aggregate of only it points. This really
line record can but be gratifying, uot
only to Mr. Reynolds, but also to every
trustee aad patron of his school.
The people of Milledgeyille will re
joice no less in the splendid success he
has achieved. He is one of many young
men, educated at G. M. C., who, going
out from this city, have forged to the
front in various lines of activity. All
honor to tli ese splendid representatives
of our school aud city
You have made more money than any
oue thinks, and you fool every one by
talking poor, you live in the same little
house that you had when you were first
married, and now and then yon white
wash the back fence build a new chick
en house, or perhaps put a coping in
place of the front fence, as improve
ments, and tell youV wife that it will do.
But bless your heart that house and
that location is not going to suit your
son-in-law when lie begins to enjoy all
that money you have beeu saving up so
industriously.
Nothing will suit him but a home on
Jefferson St or on the Hill,
Now my good brother don’t you think
it would be doing a good deed by the
old lady to get that home with your
own money, and enjoy it a few years
before you turn it over to your son-in
law.
