The happiness of many homes in Milledgeville was greatly increased i during the Christmas season by the coming home of loved ones, who had de with the history of the city and county. These reasons should en-! title it to the enthusiastic support of the people. But there are other reasons be sides those of sentiment. Every community must have a live and pro gressive newspaper, and if one is i published it must receive the support I of the business men. Every progressive merchant knows that by u .in;; the advertising columns | of his local paper he cun reach the I public and in this way ^increase the volume of his business. The Union-Recorder affords the merchants and business men of Mill edgeville their best advertising med ium for it has the largest number of readers than any other paper cir culating in their trading territory. If the merchants and business men of Milledgeville will, during the com ing year, patronize the advertising and job department of the Union- Recorder more liberally, we will b<- aided in giving our best efforts in publishing an up-to-date and progres sive paper. One which will be an honor and a credit to this community and we assure them that they shall be given value received. By DR. J. C. WILKINSON. This shall be the subject at the Baptist church for the next several Sunday nights at 7:30. It is re markable how great a part a certain Bible text played in ihe life of many of our great men. Next Sunday night we shall have Thomas Chalmers great text. Chal mers war a great man, a great teach er and a great preacher. The .story of the part played in his life by his great text is most interesting. There will also be a male quartette. On the following Sunday night we shall have Luther’s great text. We are so familiar with Luther that we do not need to rehearse his story. Yet Carlyle said that the nations of Europe had risen or fallen according to their attitude toward Luther. Sunday morning next the subject will be “Beginning the Year.” One f the best ways for us all to begin the year is to go to the house of wor ship. It is altogether possible that rnuny in the pew shall be able to pr. uch a better sermon on how to begin the new year. If you should like to preach it let me know and we can divide the time. PLUCK has been ginned. It is estimated that the losses sustained two years ago amounted to a stupendous sum, which could have been avoided by providing shelter for tile hales.

Some good hustling business man could render Milledgeville a valuable service by completing the organiza tion of a building and loan associa tion. A large number of shares have al ready been subscribed for, a notice published that « charter would be ap plied for. AH that is needed at this time is for some hustling business man or men to get together and carry the movement forward to success. A building and loan association would lie worth a great deal to Mill edgeville, as it would afford- an op portunity for house building and home owning in the city. There has been a scarcity of homes here for a number of years. A building and loan association | would give the man of moderate j means the opportuni'y to build and j own his home.

It is an old belief that Christmas brides are frivolous and fond of nov elty ami excitement. In Sweden a wife has the right to bear her own family name in addi tion to that of her rusband.
