The last session numbered 405 students, which is evi 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. Bethune & Moore. LIST OF ADVERTISED LETTERS Remaining in the Post-Office at Mil ledgeville, Baldwin county, Ga, Sept. 11, 1886.
