FELICITATIONS ON AN ANNI VERSARY Felicitations are extended to the Union Recorder, at Milledgeville, which is observing now its hundred and tenth birthday. The Union Re corder, a consolidation of the Mil ledgeville Union with the Southern Recorder, onc a Whig and one a Democratic paper, has been in the capable hands of the Moore family for more than half a century. Jere Moore, the business manager of the Union Recorder, is the third genera, tion of Moore publishers. His father and his uncle arc present publish ers of the paper. The Union Recor der is the second oldest paper in Georgia, the Chronicle at Augusta enjoying that distinction of being the South’s oldest daily newspaper and Georgia’s oldest The Telegraph is the third oldest in the state among the dailies and weeklies. The Union Recorder offers a rich field for Dr. Rabun Brantley, of Bessie Tift, who won his doctor’s de gree by his research in Georgia journalism. Through the musty files of the two papers, such a capable man as Dr. Brantley could find the shades of Stephens and Ben Hill and Toombs and Longstreet walking. Ho could make a fa cir.ating book abot those days when Milledgeville was the capital of the state and the monu mental intellects who carved *-he early destiny of Georgia were doing their work in the old state hou; that is now used bj the G.

The report comments on the "pay a--yi*ti-go" policy as one which West erville. has been following for sevc their worth with th< time.
