A well defined movement to remove that portion of the state reformatory, which will hereafter be known as the whi te division, from Milledgeville to a farm near Griffin has been started and it seems probable that it will be carried -through if some objection is not raised Everybody In Milledgeville realizes the amportande of improvements at the re formatory, but according to most of the men who exepressed themselves on the subject they regard Baldwin county as the place for the best division, of the reformatory to be located. Consequent ly they want the white reformatory to remain here. ' Another movement looks to the estab lishment of a state farm where all tbe white prisoners would be located and this would take many from the state farm here. About 1,600 acres will be needed for the reformatory and about 5,600 acres for the proposed new state farm. HOUSE FOR RENT. Four-room house in good condition for rent. Apply to L. D.
