Kenan's, Druggist, Milledgeville, Ga., 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. Pea Jay, are now H6SS Samuel Evans came here from Nnrth Carolina, in a tobacco wagon. He has now retired rich. 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. ADVICE TO MOTHERS.

Wholesale and Retail Druggists of Rome, Ga., say: “We have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery, Electric Bitters and Bticklen’s Arnica Salve for two years. Have never handled remedies* that sell as well, or give such universal satisfaction. There have been some wonderful cures effected by these medicines in this city. Several cases of • pronounced Consumption have been entirely cured by use of a few bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery, taken in connection with Electric Bit ters. We guarantee them always. Sold by John M. Clark. 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 town, Ky.] Sold by T. H.
