B. Porter, who has been in tho employ of Mr. Gilbert since bis i boyhood. The room was as neat as a pin, not- j withslaneing the Raying that “there never was a , decent printing office.” The presses, nine in number, were all in perfect order, and a number citizens a place where they can find just what they want in the way of meats and vegetables. The proprietors of the stalls are butchers, who make it a business and understand exactly the demands of the trade, as well as the truck gar deners, who raise an ample supply of vegetables of all kinds. Those in search of something to eat are sure to find it at the market, and they al ways find something nice.

The reporter was next led into TUB COMPOMINO ROOM where the types were singing merely as they were jostled together by the skilled fingers of the corps of printers. “Mr. Frank Davidson is fore man of this department, and has been with me for many years,” remarked Mr. Gilbert, as we paused a moment to look about us, and examine the immense display of type and other printing material before us. The compositors are all skilled workmen, as is evidenced by the charac ter of the work they turn out. “Come into THR BINDERY,” hours.

Mr. Gilbert is now getting out another largo edition of the Georgia road laws, as amend ed and compiled and arranged by Hon. L. F. Garrard and Henry R. Ooetchius, Esq. This is the fifth edition issued within the last few years. when one may visit the market and very easily conclude that the city is not as mind ful of its property as the necessity in the case de mands. The amount of vegetables consumed in a year is simply incalculable, and the cheapness with which they are sold makes one wonder how the truck farmers can afford to raise them. These stalls also bring in quite a revenue to the city, as they rent from $18 to $20 and aggregate $656 for the treasury of the city.

This office was laid in ashes by the enemies of the south dur ng the little unpleasantness then going on between the north and south. But, Phtenix-like, it arose again, and ever since has been making steady and rapid strides towards prosperity. Such enterprise, energy and skill as is displayed by the proprietor is bound to win success in any kind of business. And this suc cess is well deserved.
