MILLEDGEVILLE.
Millkdgkville, GA., May 4.—Spe
cial to Augusta (Chronicle.—Milledge-
ville is not making much noise now,
1 >ut there is a strong undercurrent mov
ing—slowly it may be—but with the
power of deep watefr, which shows
“Tliore's life in tlse old land yet."
Here enterprising and sagacious
citizens are wide-awake, and are deep
ly in earnest studying the problem of
her improvement, and there has not
been a time in the last decade when
she has been as ready for a forward
movement as now.
Her trade has enlarged, her educa
tional facilities tire unsurpassed, her
population has increased.
There is not now a single store
room for rent and but few dwellings,
and ber enterprising building con
tractors (and she has some who would
do credit to any city) have been
steadily employed for months and
have engagements for several months
ahead for new buildings.
Arrangements are being made by
some of our citizens, noted for their
pluck, ability and determination, to
inaugurate a new enterprise here
which will prove a public blessing and
the men who shall put it into success
ful operation will long be remembered
a.?-, public benefactors.
You need not be surprised to hear
eery soon that Milledgeville will have
water works.
It is altogether possible, as by
av: mil survey it has been proven that
from uiturni springs without the use
of power, water can be delivered at
an elevation of sixty feet above the
main bed of the city, simply by the
laying of about three and a-half miles
->f piping.

Poor little fellow, 1 hate to see him
sillier, if lie isn't respectful,” and
the kind old lady dropped a bright
silver half-dollar in his begrimed
and benumbed lingers. ;
“It's a good one,” said he, as he
rung if on the pavement, “Thank ye
mum," and he set 'em up all around
that night., and had a short plug of
black navy and half a bunch of cigar
ettes left over with which to begin the
next day's sitting.
Another Vanderbilt (lift.
years ago, and his invention, that he
thinks is now perfected, is a machine
for the manufacture of artificial ice at
a cost of a few moments’ labor each
day. Mr. Connacers is now putting
up one of his machines in the Com
mercial hotel, that was built by the
Athens foundry and Maddry & Jones,
and it will soon be given a practical
test. Mr. Connacers is rather reticent
about discussing his invention, but
we learn the following facts as to
what he claims for it: These ice
makers will be of different sizes, the
cheapest costing $ 125, with a capacity
of 500 pounds of ice per day or 40
pounds is turned out every 20 min
utes. It is only necessary to charge
the machine once, which costs but
little, and at any time when you want
jee have onlv to luake some one turn
a crank for 20 minutes, when a 40
pound block is formed. If a success,
the value of this invention is inesti
mable, for there is not a hotel in the
country but will have one, while they
will come into general use by private
families. The machine is very simple
ami any one can charge and operate
it. -Athens Banner-Watchman. .
In connection with this reported
invention we may add that a dispatch
from Pittsburg, Pa., of late, says that
an invention has been perfected by
which the very best gas can be made
at a cost of 3 cents per 1,000 feet.
The world moves.
