the college for the year 1920-21
from June 15th.
Col. Horton served as president of
the college several years, resigning

service of the United States, during
the war 1 .
Under his administration the col
lege prospered, and the attendance
of boarding; cadets was largely in
creased. The college enjoyed an era
of prosperity, and was put on a suc
cessful basis, taking its place as one
of the leading prep schools of the
state. 1 i i'Wttift'
After receiving - his discharge from
the army last summer Col. Horton
was elected co-president with Col. J.

college, and has been connected with
the institution the past year. He has
rendered substantial service in the
work of the institution.
Col. Horton has a well-established
reputation as an educator, and is
widely known. As president of the
college he will assume duties in
which he is thoroughly versant, nnd
will carry forward its work success
fully. Under his guiding hand G. M.

it has attained among the schools of

Inspection and Examination Held
Last Friday by Major Chas. W.
Elliott and Capt. W. H. H. Mor
ris, Jr., of U. S. Army Staff.
Major Chas. W. Elliott and Capt.
W. II. H. Morris, jr., members of the
general army staff, of Washington,
D. C., spent Friday at the Georgia
Military College, holding an exami
nation of the cadet battalion.
The examination and inspection
was interfered with by i - ain which
commenced falling - soon after the of
ficers began their inspection. The
rain made it impossible to have a
field inspection, and class-room ex
amination had to be held. This is the
hardest and most tedious of all mili
tary examinations. The cadets, how
ever, passed through this trying or
deal with flying colors. The officers
expressed themselves as being sur
prised and gratified at the showing
made.
Capt. R. G. Cousley, commandant
and military instructor of the bat
talion, feels that his cadets stood the
test finely, and expresses himself as
being proud of the record they made.
This inspection was held for the
purpose of deciding whether the
Georgia Military College should be
made a junior R. O. T. C. honor
school. There are several of these
honor schools to be made throughout
the country, and these schools are
■ now being inspected by staff officers,
j Besides the military feature the
j equipment of the school is taken into
| consideration. Here is congratulu-
j tions to Capt. Cousley and the cadet
battalion for the splendid showing
made, with the hope that G. M. C.
will receive this honor.

There are three candidates in the
race—Attorney General Palmer, of
Pennsylvania, Senator Hoke Smith
and Hon. Thos. E. Watson.
The campaign that is being made
throughout Georgia is arousing the
•■•oters of the state. The voters of
Baldwin county are, however, show
ing very little interest. All of the
candidates have .supporters, in the
county, but the race probably lies
between Senator Smith and Mr. Pal
mer, although Mr. Watson has a
number of supporters.
It is probable that as; the date of
the election draws near there will be
more interest aroused, and a full vote
mav be cast in the county. But as it
looks now a small vote will be polled.

Messrs. Rhodes and Reynolds, of Ma
rietta and Madison.
This trade was consummated last
Monday, and one of the representa
tives to take charge of the store is
expected to arrive in the city within
a day or two to assume the manage
ment of the business.
These are experienced merchants,
and pi e recognized as thorough busi
ness men, and are held in the high
est esteem and confidence by all who
know them.
The Union Recorder has not learn
ed which one of the new owners will
come to Milledgeville to assume the
direct management of the store, but
each and all of them would receive
a cordial welcome if they become cit
izens of the city, and identify them
selves with the business men of Mil
ledgeville.
The Joseph Dry Goods Co. is the
oldest dry goods establishment in
Milledgeville, and was established by
the late Mr. Adolph Joseph more than
fifty years ago. After his death he
was succeeded by his son, Mr. Leo
Joseph, who died a few months since.
The company has occupied the store
on the corner of Wayne and Hancock
■treets during these years, and has
done a large, and prosperous busi
ness. We learn that it will continue
under the name of the Joseph Dry
Goods Co.
The Union Recorder will extend a
-•oi dial welcome to Messrs. Smith,
Rhodes and Reynolds as they enter
he business life of Milledgeville.

are a number of fine athletes on both j
teams. Richmond Academy will come j
with the determination to win. and i
they will face G. M. C., which is
etiually determined.
On a recent field day exercises at J
G. M. C. it was developed that there j
