In the death of Mr. M. A, Baker, Sr„ which occurred last Friday morn ing, Brunswick has sustained a great loss. The deceased was one of her mest valued citizens, a man of nigh principles and unblemished character, and one who was popular and highly esteemed by all who knew him. A short sketch of his life will interest the many who were his personal friends, and wio deeply regret his death. Born in Philadelphia on Jan. C, 1523. he gave promise even in his boyhood Of an unusual aptitude for business and of qualifications calculate! to make his life the siiteess it has been, while still a very young man he wa.i employed by the United States gov ernment as Inspector of rifles at Har per’s Ferry, and for tnis responsible position he received a munificent sal ary. I In ISSR he settled in Fayette county, N. C., where he engaged in the manu facture of turpentine stills, which later on he improved by an invention of his own, the seamless still, which has proven a great success. During the civil war he established a large foundry, in connection with his other business for the purpose of molding car wheels, shot and shell, tnereby furnishing material for the Confederate government. This foun dry was burned by Sherman’s army during his devastating march to tho sea. At the close of tile war Mr. Baker found himself in the condition that thousands of others over tho south suffered, but his indomitable energy and determination were not easily daunted, and he started but anew to conquer fortune. With the proceeds of about a dozeip bales of cotton which he sold in New York city, he began his business career once more, re turning to the manufacture of stills, which he continued up to a short time before his death, retaining his mental i igor and clear judgment de spite) his years, until his death. A moat interesting conversational ist and raconteur, Mi\ Baker's rem iniscences of his life in Washington city,where Inf spent a large part of his life, were entertaining. His anec dotes and stories concerning such men as Webster, Clay and Calhoun who were; his contemporaries, were well worth listening to. For years Mr. Ba ker was a member of the Presbyterian, church, hut later was confirmed byl Bishop Atkinson, of the Episcopal church of North Carolina. In 1852 ho married Miss Laura C. Tucker, of Bal timore!, daughter of Captain George Tucker, of Portland, Me. A truly good and upright man, char itable and broadminded, and a man of strong friendships, there are many who mourn iris loss —untimely, even, he had reached a good old age, pass ing nearly a decade over man’s allotted three score years and ten. The death of such a man always leaves a voll, hut his good deeds and blameless rep utation live al'tijr him, a lesson to tire world which is the better for his hav ing lived in it. The surviving children are Mrs. O. A. Ziegler, of St. Louis. Mo.; Mrs. O. H. Walker, of Dallas. Tex.; Miss Znla Baker, of this city, and Miss Carrie B ker, of Stt Louis, Mo.; Mr. M. A. Bakey, Mr. A.

Since Mr. McCrary offered S3OO for the material in the old market build ing, a great many of our citizens halve been giving this handsome structure some attention and quite a number of plans nave been suggested looking to the riddance of this eyesore.

Various Causes Assigned. Macon. July 5. —Seldom have the people of this communoty been exer cised as they have been in the ]>aHt few days over the reports in regard to the dead fish that been seen floating in the Oemulgee river. The govea'nment officials say this is a serious matter and should be inves tigated at once. And some of the peo ple soeni to think that the county coin, missioners should take the matter in hand. Correspondence has been received stating that some peiople think acid from the drainage of manufacturing plants is responsible for the deal fish, but to show this is untrue, it is argued that these instiutions havq been running for years and this is the first time anybody has heard of t’ne wholesale killing of the fish in the river. One correspondent offers this solution to the mystery. He says that in his opinion some fishermen are emptying lime in the river in order to kill and catch fish. Lime, so he claims will kill fish, whether in running [ streams or in a pond. 1
