and best farmers, continues in ill
health. He seldom comes to the dty

friends, and they are many, refret
his illness, and wish for him a ful'
restoration to health.
Mr. J .1* Sibley is one of Mil-
ledgevillc’s earliest risers. He goes
from his home in this city to his
farm nine or ten miles, and brings
back a load of vegetables which hr
delivers at various homes In the
city. He finds great pleasure in his
work at the farm as an avocation.
He, during the season has left a
quantity of com, cantaloup s, etc. at
the home of the writer.
The great majority of the farm
ers of Baldwin county were made to
rejoice the past week by copious
showers of rain. Reports are that
the crops generally are in good con
dition, but that more rain would
prove beneficial.
The fourth of July was generally
observed in this city and county and
passed without any serious accidents.
Mr. C. R. Digby. Pleasant Grove
neighborhood, brought to our office
Tuesday several sweet potatoes dug
from his patch. They were well
grown and of eatable size. Mr. Dig
by says that within the next few
weeks he will bring potatoes to the
market. He says that crops In his
section are in good condition.
Mr. W. H. Jewell has the deepest
sympathy of his friends here on ac
count cf the death of his only
brother, which occurred at Chicka-
mauga the past week. Mr. Jewell is
one of Milledgeville’s eldest and
best known citizens. He has passed
his eighty-second years, and yet he
continues his activities, which carry
him as traveling salesman for the
textile mill which his brother op
erated into several states.
Mrs. J. M. Hall has recovered her
Canary bird, which escaped from
Its cage n the campus of G. S. C.
After failing to find her pet. Mrs.
Hall placed an advertisement in The
Union-Recordre. and the ad was read
by Mr. Roy T. Baisden who saw the
bird on North Wayne street, and
caught it. He quickly made the heart
of Mrs. Hall glad by returning It to
her.
The writer regrets the death of
G. E. Barnes, whom he has known
for nore than half , a century. Ed
Barnes, as he was known, was a man
of sterling character, and those who
knew him best held him in the high
est regard. He was industrious, and
reliable, with a sympathetic and kind
nature. He was a contractor and
builder, and has erected a number
of houses in this city. He also was
skillful in cabinet bunding and was
most thorough in his work. In his
dealings with others he was careful
that there c ould be no question of
his honesty and integrity, and he
held in contempt sham and pretence.
He lived so that he could pass
through the valley and shadow* un
afraid, and leave a good name as a
heritage to his loved ones.
