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. Election in Baldwin. The following are the results of the election in this county, on Wednes day last: For Governor, John B. Gordon received 1,080 votes; N. C. Barnett, Secretary of State, 1,170; Wm. A. Wright, Comptroller General, 1,174; Robert U. Hardeman, State Treasurer, 1,172, and Clifford Ander son, Attorney General, 1,172.

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. J. A. BYBEE.
