dence of the high repute in which the
college is held. The superior advanta
ges offered, together with free tuition,
should commend this institution to
parents and guardians.—Sandersville
Herald.
The prosperity of any city depends,
in a large degree, upon the unanimity
with which the citizens work in har
mony. The most difficult problem
always, in building up a town, is to
unite the people. Men have their
private differences, which they will
carry into all public enterprises, and
oppose them, merely because their
neighbor favors them. This is true of
Milledgeville to-day, it is true of every
community on the civilized globe.
Men and neighbors wrong each other,
and men and neighbors stand ready
to strike back at every wrong, or
fancied wrong. It is human nature
to strike back when you are hit.
But there are times in all of our
lives when it would be better for us
to take the blow. There is not a man
living but can look back once in his
life, and say : ‘I wish I had let that
pass’. There is not a man living, but
will some time or other be dependent
on his neighbor for some favor. There
is not a man living, but, at times, in
his heart, resolves to turn over a
new leaf and do better.
Now we would ask this. MiUedge-
is beyond doubt prospering; if our
people will make up their minds to do
all they can for her prosperity, she
Avill prosper a hundred fold. When
it conies to your city, put aside your
individual differences, and work for
Milledgeville. You may ask how you
can do anything. One answer is this;
let every man, rich and poor in Mil
ledgeville, become interested for her
good, and there will be nothing
scarcely, that cannot be done. It is
unanswerable to say that if the peo
ple of Milledgeville would turn out en
masse, with a desire and determination
to do all they could, a dozen en
terprises could b« started at once.
Why not lay aside prejudice when
the good of our city is at stake, and
do all we can for Milledgeville? If
every man in Milledgeville will do his
duty, half way, we can guarantee that
enterprises can be started that will
make our city double in population.
Let one man put in five dollars, an
other ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five,
one hundred, and so on, and what is
it we could not do?
It is the part of true manhood to
stand by your city. It is a duty, shirk
it as you may, to work for your city.
We make one honest, earnest, hear
ty appeal to every one, to pledge
their every effort to build up, and
work for the interest of Milledgeviile.
This appeal may fall like an idle
word, unnoticed, and scarcely read,
but your duty, your citizenship, your
manhood, all still demand a fulfillment
of the obligations you owe your city.
L.
We have a few applications to rent
or purchase houses in the city. If
owners of city property will place it
in our hands we will endeavor to make
satisfactory arrangements. Every
body who wishes to locate among us
should be accommodated.
