T H E CITY.
The Technological Commission in
Milledgeville.
On Friday evening last, the Tech
nological Commission arrived here by
the afternoon train of the M. A A.
railroad. Their coming at that time
■was not expected, as our people had
received no notice of it, and conse
quently the committee of reception
which had been appointed by the city
council were not on hand to receive
them. They, however, when they
reached the Oconee House, were soon
taken in charge by members of the
committee above mentioned and were
shown through the grand old state
capitol, (now in use by the M. G. M.
& A. College,) and the old Executive
Mansion, and were also made to see
the old Penitentiary square of nearly
twenty acres and the comfortable
dwellings and the academy buildings
situated thereon. They arrived at so
late an hour that they scarcely had a
fair opportunity to see and appreciate
the value of the very valuable prop-,
erty which the state owns here, a
large portion of which, including the
old capitol, was shown to be available
for the occupancy and uses of the
Technological school.
After supper, a small number of our
citizens gathered at the Oconee House
and had a pleasant and, we trust, a
profitable interview with the gentle
men of the commission. The value of
the property, available for the use of
the School and the considerations why
Milledgeville should be selected as its
site, were forcibly presented in an in
formal and conversational style by
Mr. Lumpkin and Capt Crawford and
we, as well as others present, were
inclined to think that the members of
the Commission were somewhat sur
prised at the “showing" made in fa
vor of Milledgeville. In short, after
hearing all that was said, pro and con,
we believe that the Commissioners
were so favorably impressed with the
superior advantage of this place, that
we shall hope, until an unfavorable
decision against us is made, that we
not only have the best locality of all
that have been presented, but that a
majority of the Commissioners share
that opinion.
The members of the commission
present were Messrs. N. E. Harris of
Macon, S. M. Inman of Atlanta, O. K.
Porter of Covington, and E. R. Hodg
son of Athens. Mr. Heard of Greens
boro’ was absent, being detained at
home by sickness.
The commission left by the early
train Saturday morning, and reached
Macon at 7 o’clock, where they were
met by a committee. After break
fasting* at the Brown House, they
were driven over the city and had
Macon’s advantages carefully present
ed to them. The advantages of cen
trality, accessibility and health, so
ably presented by the Macon com
mittee, apply with equal force to Mil
ledgeville, which has in addition suit
able buildings ready for occupation.
The commission left Macon on the
5:40 P. M. train for Atlanta. They will
meet to-day week to decide upon the
location.

Ixied,
In this citv on Tuesday last, Mr.
James R. Callaway, son of Mr. Frank
Callaway of this county, after three
or four weeks suffering from Typhoid
fever. He was twenty-two years of
age and had been a clerk in the
store of Mr. L. H. Thomas fox* two or
thi’ee years past. He was a consis
tent member of the Baptist church
and was highiy esteemed by those
who knew him best. His funeral ser
vices were performed at the residence
of Mrs. Trice, by Rev. Mr. Beck, his
pastor, and his remains were interred
in our city cemetery, and buried with
the usual military honoi’s by a por
tion of the Baldwin Blues, under the
command of Capt. George W. Cara-
ker, the deceased having been a mem
ber of that Company.
We regret to learn that a younger
brother of Mr. Callaway was sick in
the house when he died, and was so
affected thereby that at his request,
he was removed to his father s resi
dence in the eastern part of this
county. ^

her friends and neighbors. She died,
after a short illness, of the measles.
We learn from Mr. Lumpkin, the
agent of the M. & A. Railroad, that a

and enlarge our business.

Respect to the Memory of a Colored
Woman.
On last Friday night, Sarah Robin
son, a colored woman, aged sixty-four
years, died atr the home of Capt. T. F.
Newell in this city. Her death occur
red very suddenly of heart disease.—
She had been about her business all
day, and as night came on she went
to her room, and when, a little later,
Capt.^Newell came to her bedside, she
threw her arms around him and said,
“My child, I’m going to die.” Her
premonition proved too true, and she
expired before a physician could be
summoned. She had been a nurse in
the family.of Mrs. Newell for two
generations, and the affection that ex
isted between the w T hite family and
“black mammy” was heart-touching
and beautiful to see. The death of
the faithful old nurse brought real
sorrow to all the household. When
she passed away, Capt. Newell began
arranging for her burial with the
same affectionate care that he would
have given to a relative. Her funeral
took place on Saturday afternoon in
his parlors—white friends in one room
colored in another. Rev. D. McQueen
of the Presbyterian church, conduct
ed the services and preached an unus
ually eloquent sermon, the central
thought in which was the blessedness
of the last days of the righteous.—
It was an impressive scene—worthy
to be put on record as showing the
love that still exists between kind,
faithful, considerate servants and
their former owners.
The liberal inducements for trade
r^ffprpd bv our merchants in all kinds
of goods cannot be excelled in Middle
Georgia. .
The Holiness convention is here for
a week, and it is hoped the good re
sults will remain forever.
B Y mutual consent the copartnership
of By bee & Hodgkin has been dis
solved. This is no notify the public
that all of the accounts and notes in
the hands of this firm, have been
transferred to the undersigned, and
an immediate settlement of the same
is required.
