MOTHER’S
FRIEND.
Not only shortens the time
of labor and lessens the pain,
but it greatly diminishes
the danger to life of both
mother and child, and
leaves the mother in a con
dition more favorable to
speedy recovery, and less
liable to Flooding, Convul
sions, and other alarming
symptoms. Its efficacy in
this respect entitles It to be
called The Mother’s
Friend, and to rank as one
of the life-saving remedies
of the nineteenth century.

“THE OLD CAPITAL.”
MILLEDGEVILLE RENEWS
YOUTH.
HER
Cause of Neuralgia.
It is conceded by the Medical Pro
fession that impoverished nerves is the
cause of neuralgia. When the nerves
are not properly fed, it is an indication
that the digestive organs are not doing
their work well. SMITH’S BlLfi

tion, and when the digestion is right
everything else will be right. Vigor and

Correspondence of the Atlanta Constitution.
Milledgeville, Ga., September
18.—[Special.]—A visit to the “old
capital” can never fail to recall
thoughts of the days when the states
men of Georgia made this city the
Mecca of their political ambition.
Gathered around on these street cor
ners the legislators of the past have
discussed matters of state, while in
the barrooms adjacent eloquent
throats have had their thirst quench
ed by the purest of Georgia corn li
quor. There was purity in Georgia
polities then, as there is now, for the
Georgian who would honor the fath
ers by slandering the sons confers but
poor praise. When the time came to
have the capital removed, by consent
of the voters of Baldwin and against
the consent of the voters of Fulton,
Georgians did not cease to be honest,
nor did the young generation become
unworthy of the one which had gone
before.
Nevertheless, it was a laudable am
bition in Milledgeville to seek the
restoration of the capitol. The city
had built up an honored name; the
hospitality of its citizens had become
a household word; precious memo
ries were associated with the old state
house, and it was fitting that the spot
which had witnessed the triumphs of
Berrien, Dawson, Toombs and Steph
ens should be the arena upon which
coming generations should gather in
spiration and courage. Milledgeville
fought for that restoration with a
courage worthy of her history, but
the logic of events leant in an oppos
ite direction. When the lamented
Farish Furman laid aside the imple
ments of war, and bowed to the inevi
table, Milledgeville gave up her day
dreaming, and her sons gathered up
their loins and sought success in other
channels.
THE NEW MILLEDGEVILLE.
The war left the old Miiledgevilie a
financial ruin. There was pride
enough, but that neither furnished
bread nor paid the rent. It was not
until about five years ago that the
city shook off its lethargy, and de
termined to become one of the lead
ing business factors of the state.
Situated in the center of one of the
richest agricultural sections of the
j state, where the wealth of cereals and
cotton could be combined, there was
every advantage for the tradesman
and the manufacturer. That five
years of work has brought together
an industrious population of five
thousand people; has brought within
its commercial area one hundred miles
of territory; has run up a business of
several millions annually; and has
given wealth to a large number of
hardworking men. Out of the many
business men whose names now stand
on the commercial roll of Milledgeville,
but two are men who were in business
twenty years ago. The character of
the merchants here may be learned
from the fact that there has not been
a single business break within the
last three years.
WHO THEY ARE.
In a casual talk with a prominent
citizen, many interesting personal
facts were learned. For instance,
there is Mr. W. T. Conn, one of the
best known business men of the city.
His father lost all in the war. The
young man was poor and at sea, finan
cially, but had a mine of integrity.
One day a planter drove into town
seated upon five bales of cotton.
Observing Conn standing on the side
walk, he said:
“Conn, take this cotton to Savan
nah and sell it and start in business.”
Mr. Conn did so and went into the
grocery business on a small scale. He
built up rapidly, amassed, it is stated,
a fortune of not less than $100,000,
and is now at the head of the whole
sale house of W. T. Conn & Co., do
ing a business of half a million a
year.
* Mr. H. E. Hendrixs came here a
poor man, and went into an unpre
tentious grocery business. He has
now a large business, in his own
storehouse, and is put down as being
worth $40,000.
P. J. Cline is another example of
what has been done in Milledgeville.
He came here a poor boy from Ire
land. He subsequently became a
partner in the firm of Treanor &
Cline. He is now in business for him
self, and cannot be worth less than
$50,000.
The present mayor, Mr. Sam Walk
er, came here a poor boy, and finally
worked into the grocery business.
He now owns five large plantations,
from which he gets an annual rental
of three hundred bales of cotton.
He is said to be worth $150,-
000.
Tj L. McCoinb & Co., drygoods-
men, are young men, full of energy
and push. They have passed- the
$40,000 line some time ago, and will
keep going straight ahead.
Mr. Adolph Joseph has made a
large amount of money in dry-
goods.
W. J. Brake was a poor boy from
the country. He is now one of the
rich men of the town.
W. and J. Caraker were carpenters,
and an efficient workmen, i hey went
into the furniture business, and axe
now worth $50,000. _
Fred Haug was a shoemaker. He
made i?ood understandings, and as
a consequence is now worth, $20,-
jj Wood & Co. started on five
hundred dollars five years ago, and
doing a wholesale busi-
Frank Wilson was a clerk four
years ago. He now owns five hous
es, and has bought a $2,000 store.
BUILDING . AND OTHER IMPROVE
MENTS.
One of the first evidences of solid
prosperity is the building of comfor
table homes. There is not a house to
rent in the city. Among the new
houses now going up are the follow
ing:
Whilden, $ 2 ,000; L. H. Wood,
$2,000; S. Barrett, $2,000; Dr. H. M.
Clarke, $1,800; Tom White, $2,200;
the Baptist parsonage, $3,000. Three
large brick stores were erected last
year, and the plans for half a dozen
new stores are under consideration.
A $20,000 hotel is prospected. The
new courthouse costing $28,000, has
been completed. Quite a number of
new residences are contemplated this
winter. A marble yard will be start
ed by E. P. Lugand, in October, and
a candy factory will be started in a
few days.
There is a flourishingloan and build
ing association here under the presi
dency of Mr. W. T. Conn.
The Milledgeville Banking Com
pany started here two years ago on
$50,000 home capital. L. N. Callaway
was first president, and G. T. Wieden
man is the second. In that time the.
bank has bought and paid for its own
building, paid all expenses and declar
ed a handsome dividend. The capi
tal stock will soon be largely increas
ed.
T. T. Windsor & Co., are engaged
in the manufacture of Wilson’s spark
arrester, which is in great demand.
THE CITY SUMMED UP.
The city has 5,000 inhabitants; has
two railroads and one navigable
stream; is the seat of the Middle
Georgia college; has Baptist, Meth
odist, Catholic, Presbyterian and Ep
iscopal churches; has seventy-five
business houses, has freight rates
which challenge competition with the
larger cities; the city taxation is only
one-half of one per cent; has no bond
ed debt, and is well situated whether
considered from a comincercial or sani
tary point of view. It has two good
hotels—the Oconee house and the
Edwards house. It has, morever,
two reliable and thorough going local
papers: The Chronicle, under charge
of Messrs. T. H. and C. L. Morris, and
J. H. Nisbet; and the Union & Re
corder, under Messrs. Barnes &
Moore and Hunter.
To talk up all these advantages, the
business men have recently organized
“The Business Men’s Union.” The
purpose of this union is to draw at
tention to Milledgeville; to furnish re
liable information, and to aid, in
every legitimate way, the progress of
the city. Mr. W. W. Lumpkin is pres
ident.
THE SURROUNDING COUNTRY.
Baldwin county is one of the best
in the state. It has a substantial
class of farmers, who are progressive
and industrious. They have made
excellent crops the last few years; are
out of debt; have good homes; and
many of them are building new
houses. Much attention is being be
stowed on live stock. W. H, Bass has a
herd of forty Jerseys. Nearly all the
farmers have horses as well as mules.
Special attention is paid to the food
supply. The country now raises
nearly all its own meat, and does not
send west for corn.
From all of which it may be seen
that Milledgeville is on the high road
to progress.

There are many men who have
started on small capital recently,
whose profits tell a good story for the
city. White & Treanor, for instance,
started on five hundred dollars eight
months ago, and have run it up to
$3,000.
W. H. Armstrong, from a start of
$250, two years ago, is now worth $7,-
000.
Moses Phillips, colored, the blind
blacksmith, and the oldest citizen in
Americus, died on Monday last, lack
ing but four years of being a century
old. The writer knew him as Uncle
Mose, fifty years ago. He was then
foreman of the blacksmith forges of
the large carriage and wagon manu
factory of Stephen B. Marshall, at
Eatonton. In the antebellum days in
Eatonton,and since then in Americus,
the word and work of Uncle Mose were
as reliable as that of his. old master,
Mr. Marshal, and by no higher stan
dard could be he tested. Better than
all, Uncle Mose died, as he had long
lived, a Christian.

Wow has Faith.
I had been troubled all winter with
cold and pain in the chest and got no
relief from remedies recommended by
Druggists and Physicians. At the
same time I was advertising Dr. Bo-
sanko’s Cough and Lung Syrup. I had
little faith but thought to try it as a
last resort, now I believe even more
than they tell me of its curative qual
ities. ["From The News, Elizabeth
