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 Postponed For various Reasons And Will be Held Second Week In April And Big Tlmn Expected.

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.
