Little testified ho had charge of the affairs of the female department, having three hundred patients under him immediate care. He stated all nurses were well qualified to hold positions attending lectures twice weekly, and able to diagnose the physical condition of pa tients under their care. Dr. Thos. R. Wright, of Augusta, Was placed cn tho stand under oath and requested to give a comparative statement of the condition of the Georgia sanitarium.

He recently made a trip north with Dr. Thos. M. Hall, of Milledgeville, to inspect north ern institutions.

The success which has crowned the management of the company has given full confidence to tho new undertaking and there is no doubt but that it will mean mneh to the industrial wor'd here.' It is expected that fully $25,00,) capital will be employed in tho business and a full line of furniture may bo manufact ured by the company shortly. The making of mantels, cabinets, sash and blinds will be the first undertaking and this will be gradually increased until other household accessories are manu factured.
