LOCAL TEACHERS TO
THE SUMMER SCHOOL
Several ol The Eacully ol The G. N.
& I College Will be Among Ed
ucators at Athens During
Vacation.
The faculty for the summer school of
the University of Georgia has been
■Elected and several of the teachers of
the Georgia Normal and Industral col
lege have been named to fill positions
there.
Prof. J. L. Beeson will teach physics,
Prof. H. J. Gaertner will teach arith
metic and Prof. R. H. Powell will teach
rhetoric, pedagogy of English litera
ture. . Other teachers wifi probably
visit the school from time to time.
It will also be news of general inter
est to Milledgeviile folk to know that
Prof. Kyle T. Alfriend, superintendent
of Macon public schools, who is well
known here, will teadh school govern
ment and trigonometry
A modern furniture factory is the
latest enterprise to be sturted up in
MiUedgevHle there Hearns to be
•very asBuranoe that this will he a
reality within the next few months
The muterial for the factory bus al
ready been secured and much of the
timber necessary to the operation of
the factory has been contracted for []by
thejparties.
Mr. E. E. Bass, one of the best known
and most successful business men in
Milledgeviile, is organizing the enter
prise and virtually $29,000 has already
been subscribed for the purpose of
starting up the enterprise. It will be
located near the Georgia railroad depot
and will fgive employment to half a
hundrpd people to start with.
- In view of tjie fact that the furniture
factories at High Point,N. C., have met
such unbounded success there seems to
be no reason whv a local factory should
not very be sucessful and return much
money to the stockholders in the enter
prise and at the same time help the
town.
LECTURE ON TREES
AT G. N. & I COLLEGE
Dr. Hemenway Talked about Trees to
the Students ol the Georgia
Normal & Industrial College
Dr. Hemenway of Northampton,
Mass gave an illustrated lecture at the
Georgia Normal & Industrial College on
Tuesday night.
His subject was trees. He showed
pictures of the more common trees and
told how to identify them by comparison
of leaves, bark, shape, etc.
In cutting off the limbs of trees, he
said that the limbB should bo severed
near the body of the tree and not at
some distance from the trunk. He
showed pictures of trees that had been
trimmed correctly and then of rotting
trees that had been trimmed in the
wrong way.
Rotten trunksof valuable trees should
be cleared out thoroughly and filled in
an air tight manner with a mixture of
cement to two parts of sand, very much
•n the way that a dentist would fill a
tooth.
Dr. Hemenway considered Milledge-
ville a beautiful city, and he thought
the chid charm consisted in the trees
IVAL

cdgeville under the auspices of the
Baldwin Blues will be hold here the

which are so abundant. Ills lecture
was fascinating and interesting, full of
useful information regarding the beauty
and the care of trees.

Local Concern
Bloodworth & Stembridge Co.
Granted Charter by Judge
Lewis and Stockholders
Met Thursday Might.
Tho firm of Bloodworth & Stembridge
Co. was granted a charter by Judge H.
G. Lewis Thursday night and im
mediately thereafter tho stockholders
in the company held a meeting and
elected tho following officers:
J. E. Stembridge, president; W. W
Stembridge, vice president; and S. D.
Stembridge secretary and treasurer
In addition to his other duties Mr. S, D.
Stembridge will be general manager.
The firm is incorporated with a capi
tal stock, all paid in, of $7,500 with the
privilege of increasing to #20,000. The
firm proposes to serve the public in a
more up-to-date manner than ever be
fore and they will be glad to see old and
new friends in their store.
If you have not visited the millinery
parlors of Mrs. Julia Parker you have
missed a treat. Some of the men in
Milledgeviile have chanced by and were
tempted to give an order anyway.
The spring styles are fetching when
she gets through with them.
No man who has once owned a good
horso and has had his blood thrilled
by seeing him win a good race, will
ever lose his love for a trotter. Other
things may draw him away and direct
h’.s attention In different ways, but
no matter how far he may wander
from tho horse, he will some day turn
back to him. No man who has ever
engaged in the breeding amt develop
ing of trotters will ever loss his iik
lag for them, and this Is particularly
true If he has bred a horse which has
attained distinction as a race horse.
There is a fascination about the busi
ness which holds men’s attention all
during their lives, and the ambition
to breed and own a hlgh-tflass trotter
or pacer Is an ambition which Is an
honorable and credltaole one in ev
ery way.
A REVIVAL MEETING
l AST. OF
Rev. Ford McRee Plans For Helpful
Services fo Commence Last Sunday
In March at Methodist Church.
• *iwrr
Beginning the Fourth Sunday in’
March Rev. Ford McRee, pastor of the
Methodist church here, will conduct re
vival services for ten days or two weeks

Ga., who is know i as one of the most
successful revival preachers in the North
Georgia Conference. Good singing will
bo a feature of the meeting and the-
public generally arc cordially invited to-
be present. There will bo two services,
each dav, one of them, of course, being
in the'evening. .
The co-operation of all members in-
this work is urgently requested and those
in charge are sure that efficient work,
with good resu'ts, will be the outcom;
of the meeting if such is the case.
Without this helpful support it is im
possible for the ministers conducting
tho meeting to make it as benofical as
it will be with tho hearty support of u.
united membership.
