Hawk icld made up tin party The A i the lirsi the party member < ing and Mr. (Jeorj. imlie liens Furniture Factory whs tint to bo visited, and here «s joined by Mr. C C. Ilawk- it td the factory, and also a he board of the Manufactur- iiprovcment Company, and ;ind Lawson .Stapleton, diiec- itrnituro factory, use shops of this concern ed in detail: and it is a fact the great progress made by this city hi the. past year, that very few of the party had any exact idea of the magnitude of this enterprise, several of them having never been through the works at all. Brest. C. C. Hawkins chaperoned the party, and explained to them the methods of this big industry. First, the basement was inspected, with its shaftings, pulleys and belts, and the long lines of tin pipes which conveyed the shavings, under a heavy blast, from the various machines above to the fur nace of the 100-horse power engine that supplied the motive power. Then tiro first floor was inspected, with its numerous and complicated wood-working machines, carrying the oak, walnut and ash timber through all the processes of preparation for bed steads, bureaus, wash-stands and tables. Then the adjacent building, the farthest one north, was next inspected, whore arc situated the polishing, grain ing, paintihg and varnishing depart ments upstairs; and the storage, pack ing and shipping departments below. The stock carried is one of the largest of any business or industry in this sec tion of Georgia, and it would surprise anybody to see the vast quantities of goods made and shipped day by day. The next point visited was the Iron Works, tho extensive shops of which were as carefully gone through, and all details looked into. Tho moulding de partment was in tho midst of prepara tion for casting to-day, and a busy scene was presented as the skilled workmen prepared tho matrices in the boxes for the molten iron that is to run into them to-day. The machine shops, w ith their pon derous lathes, hammers, engines and otlnr machinery were next passed in review, followed by an examination of the Sawyer gin department, and pattern shops. Then, after all had taken a drink of artesian water—the party again wont to their carriages, for an inspection of some of the north side industries. The shops of the Americus Construc tion Company were invaded, and not withstanding General Manager Crawford Wheatley professed to be paralyzed by the presence of so august a delegation, he did most successfully and gracefully the honors as chaperone, through the various departments of his works, from the planers, saws ami lathes through the yards and drying and storage houses adjacent. Thence the party went to the water works, and drank copiously once more— of artesian water—examining the cis terns, wells, pumps, etc. Thence a portion of the party visited the factory of the Americus Refrige rating Company, where they were shown through by the superintendent, and the processes explained. It is a fact that the liveliest sur prise was manifested by these gentlemen as detail after detail of these various new enterpiscs of Americus, the growth of the past year, were laid before them, and the magnitude ami value made ap parent to their investigating eyes. While all were aware, in a general way, of the existence of these enter prises, and especially tho first two vis ited, in which tho Improvement and Manufacturing Company has consider able stock, it required just such a tour as this to show the true inwardness of thoso big enterprises to the directors, and satisilcd them that they had invested wisely. One of the most prominent directors, and a gentleman of large means, ex pressed bis intention of going at once directors tin •1 company, and potent fact that there will be no need of going out of Americus to get thousands of dollars’ worth of supplies for “The Windsor,’’ that must soon be purchased. nouiieo Dr. Daniel appears to have realized the false position he was placed in,: and '< the following letter to (’apt.

With the Constitution. Mr. James Callaway, for years travel ing agent of tho Macon Telegraph, is now connected with the Atlanta Consti tution in that capacity. Mr. Callaway is an earnest and ener getic worker and on intelligent gentle man. His special territory will he central and southwest Georgia, and the people of that section will no doubt see a great deal of him in his travels for the Con stitution, which, with its constant im provements, will be worthy of anytldng that Mr. Callaway has to say about it. The lactic acid it contains acts on the whole digestive system, while as food it has already undergone a semi-digestion in the churning to which it has been subjected. Physicians are every day in- cieasing the amount of it that they pre scribe for their patients, and in case of liver aud kidney diseases it is invaluable. Instances are numerous of persons af flicted with Bright’s disease living for many years in comparative comfort with no other medicine than a daily supply of buttermilk.
