or wood, the work 10 be done on Broad

Macons Telegraph: The firm of King &
DeGaugh was yesterday dissolved by
mutual consent, Campbell I. King becom-
ing sole owner of the business aud Mr.. De-
Gaugh assuming his old duties of rolling
pills FOR his former partner on a salary. The
story of the dissolution Of the firm is a sad
one, and Is the result of Mr. DeGaugh's
overc0nhdence il the election Of Harrison.
Mr. DeGaugh is a republican. and in conse-
quence thereof backed his favorite candi-
date with all the Dash he could raise and
then gave his. o. US to the
amount of some 5000 or 500. For
ell of this amount he found takers
and on the day Of election he was in
great glee over the immense wealth he
would have when Benny was declared
elected. But from some cause or causes Ut
known Benny was not elected, hence Mr..
| De5augh is sad and Mr.. King Is without "a
partner. In justice to Mr.. DeGaugh be it
said that he sold his interest in the tirul to
meet his election obligations, aud takes .,
fresh start so that lie may have a snug little
sum on hand when Cleveland is elects d
four years hence. Mr. DeGaugn is one of
! the few white men in the city that regrets
| Clevelauds election, but perhaps he did ot
| know that 10 costs like smoke t. be- a re-
publican in Macon where democracy is Sd
preme and the democrats have dollars and
good judgment.
