An Interesting
Record
General Order
New York, July, 177 G.
“The General is sorry to be in
formed that the foolish and wicked
practice of profane cursing and
swearing a vice heretofore little
known in the American Army, is
growing into fashion. He hopes
< the officers will, by example as
well as influence, endeavor to
check it and that both they and
K men will reflect, that we can have
little hope of the blessing of
Heaven on cnr arms, if we insult
it by our impiety and folly. Add
ed to this it is a vice so mean and
low, without any temptation, that
every man of seuce and
character detests and despises

America For
Americans
■ee- ■
From now on we shall hear
much less about making the world
safe for democracy; and much
more about making America the
best place for Americana, in ac
cordance with the principles of
i that immortal document, the Con
stitution of the United States ot
America, which forms the greatest
Federal Republic of all human
history.
And if others want to enjoy our
civic bleseing, let them become
and be Americans in theory, prin
ciple aud practice.

i One of the unique results of the
■ recent election was the election of
i Alfred Alexander Taylor governor
; of Tennessee. “Alf” Taylor and
f “Bob’ Taylor, brothers, both ran
I far governor of Tennessee in 1886,
■ in a very apecacular campaign.
I “Bob” the democrat, won. Now,
t after a period of thirty-four years, ■
1 “Alf”, the republican wins. He ia

invalid for two years and for the
last few weeks bad been totally
helpless. Mr .John Pridgen had
been living near Moultrie; but for
several weeks she had craved t.>
come back to Eldorendo to the
home of her husband’s brother,
Mr W. J. Pridgen nnd yielding
to her wishes she was brought
there by her husband Saturday
moning.
She was conscious almost to the
last and was gratified to be
there.
The deceased just lacked one
month of having been a faithful
wife for forty years.
She died at the age of seventy
two years. Early in hfe she join
ed the Missionaty Baptist Church
and was ever’ready to bestow a
kindness.
She is survived by her husband
and by an orphan girl seventeen
years of age, whom she has had
in her home for the last few
years.
Rev Claude Bridges conducted
the impressive funeral services
Monday afternoon: and the body
interred in that hollowed Spot
the Eldorendo Cemetary, at four
o’clock, with Mr J. L. Tabb as
director, in presence of many of
those who Lad known and esteem
ed her highly when she resided
in Eldorendo.
Maj' that peace which passeth

of those who morn for
her.
We belive that if there were rif-
Ity neat residences here for rent
‘and fcr sale every one of them
I would be occupied in iess than
thirty days. Dwellings are at a
premium in this town.
Residence
Burned.
♦
About 3 15 o’clock Friday afier
uoon the residence occu-ied by
Poet Master and Mrs. H. M. Mil
hr was burned.
~ The tire was discovered in Die
room occupied by Mr. .Miller's pa
rents Mr. and Mrs. Mart Miller,
I the latter being almost nn invalid.
. A< the time of the discovery site
was acres’ tli“ iiall from her aport-
I fuf"<s, in the room with Iter
r J^HUg? >er-indaw, and her daughter,
j Mrs. .James Knight who was a
guest for the day.
The enfeebled lady was borne
I from the burning structure by
1 Mesdarnes Knight nnd Miller. No
j men were nt. the dwelling, lint be
ffore they could return to any of
i the rooms the whole ho’iee seemed
|to be enveloped in flames, and j
Inane of the contents except two
chairs were saved.
j The volunteer lire fighters reacli
led the scene in tinm to save Mr.
E R. Bush’s residence which was
in ’minect danger.
Mrs. Tiller owned the residence
L’.hich was burned. Years ago it
ftvas known as the Sheffield ol<i I
Gif,!,-
OiKr, It was on North vuthberi I
afreet. She carried a two thousand |
dollar policy on the structure,
which had been remodeled and'
bad been enlarged by additions
until it was a commodious and
comfortable dwelling.
Mr. Henry Mims had rented it
for next year, and he expected to
move bis family in it about the first
of January.
His sister, Mrs. Sallie Piokron,
who had been an inmate of the
home until a few weeks ago lost
SIOO worth of furniture with no in
surance.
The post master estimates that
he had at least sl.">l’O worth of
household goods on which he car
ried only a SSGO insurance.
Not a mouth ago Mr Miller had
placed a new SSOO piano in bis
home.
The aged couple are with their
daughter, Mrs Knight, and Mr.
FI jys who has made his home with
his uncle for sometime is also with
Mrs. Knight.
Mr and Mrs. fl. M. Miller and
their eon. Master Watson are down
on Pine street aitb her parents,
Mr. and Mrs.W. R. Watson.
The city suffers by the loss of a
single residetce There is a short,
age of homes here.
Mr. Miller has many friends
who regret that be has lost so
heavily.
Great, throngs are attending the
lectures being given at the Baptist
church by M'ss Ens Bridges, a
missionary in Persia for eight
years.
Perhaps thousands of gallons
of Georgia's sugar cane sirup is
being canned and bottled in Mil
ler oounty just at this season, and
this preserves its d?licions flavor
indefinitely.
