The exercises of the Middle Georgia Mil. and Agl. college will be resumed in this city on the 15th of September next. Apply to Prof. D. H. Hill, Jr., Secretary of the Faculty, for cata logues and any information desired; ■ To-day (Tuesday) has been assigned by Judge Lawson for the hearing of the Baldwin county prohibition con tested election case* when it is hoped this vexed question will be put to rest two years at least. It is needless to say that both sides are expecting the decision to be in their favor. Old things have passed away and the business interests of this commu nity are now in the hands of men w T ho have faith in the future, of our good city. The Business Union has united our capital and energy, and they stand ready to take hold and push any enterprise looking to the prosper ity* and growth of our town. The la test improvement suggested is to put a steamboat on the Oconee river. The feasibility of the enterprise will be looked into at once, and if it can be done, shoulders are ready to put the wheels in water. An old colored citizen stepped into our office the other day and asked, “Don’t you want to buy a load of wood?” A simple “no” was the dis couraging reply. ‘Mighty good wood,’ said he, ‘blackjack and dogwood; first rate for cooking.’ One of our smart young compositors replied, ‘The sun is hot enough to cook victuals this kind of weather.’ ‘Well, I ’spect you’d get mighty hongry before dey got done,’ retorted the old wood mer chant as he disappeared from the scene, leaving our smart young com positor with his mouth open, but nothing to say. Rumor Corrected.-—There was a rumor in circulation on the afternoon of Humphries’ conviction that he said that he did not care anything about the verdict of guilty being found by the jury in his case. We are requested to state that this was a mistake, and no doubt grew, out of the fact of his saying that he did not care what his lawyers did in the man? agement of his case, as he was satis fied they would do the best that could be done for him; that whether they moved for a new trial or not, his case was entirely in the hands of his law yers to do as they thought best.

The time is now rapidly approach ing when the bids for the location of the school of Technology must be in the hands of the commissioners. At present, bids for this institution do not promise to be as large and numer ous as was anticipated and it is be- lived that Miliedgeville can offer ad vantages that cannot fail to command the most favorable consideration from the intelligent board entrusted with the high duty of selecting a site that will be most beneficial to the people they represent in this important mat ter. Our citizens have had the sub ject under consideration and discus sion the past week. A committee composed of Messrs. G. D. Case and A. J. Carr of the city council, Messrs. L. Carrington and W. II. Bass of the college trustees, and Mr. W. W. Lump kin of the Business Union have pre pared a report. We learn they re commend that the Executive Mansion and the Penitentiary square (which includes twenty acres in the heart of the city and numerous buildings,) be tendered the Technological commis sion and that they be, invited to visit this city and examine this property. These grounds and buildings are worth something like one hundred thousand dollars, and located in Atlanta, Macon or Athens would be estimated • at double that amount. The original cost of the Executive Mansion alo.ae was about $75,000. This property is under the control of our college trus tees who are receiving a nominal rent for it. Impressed with the importance to our State of the proposed indus trial school and believing that this property offers peculiar advantages for its location in our midst, they feel it to be their duty to tender it for that purpose, and look to other means for sustaining our college. In making this offer they are not.con- trolled by feelings of local interest alone, but think the interest of the whole people will be subserved there by, and at the same time the honored old capital will receive deserved rec ognition. We desire to call not only the attention of the commission to this offer, but also the people of Geor gia to this desirable location for their School of Technology. Grand Opportunity —AT— P. J.
