On the 20th ultimo, the Augusta
Chronicle gave another example of
the intelligent enterprise and indus
try which are characteristic of that
journal. In its issue of that date,
there were sixteen pages of valuable
matter, the greater portion o$ which
is devoted to a description of what
it styles “The Augusta of to-day, her
commercial progress and business
standing,” together with her “tribu
tary territory in Georgia and South
Carolina and its population, wealth
and products.” On the first page is a
good map presenting those portions
of Georgia and South Carolina with
their railroads, cities, &c., &c., com
prised within a circle at about the
distance of 150 miles from that city as
its centre. Another circle having a
radius of about ninety miles, we
should think, embraces a population
estimated by the Chronicle, at 800,000
souls, and its wealth fsupposed to
amount to about $112,000,000. Among
the sketches of counties claimed to oe
tributary to Augusta, ■ we find the
following, concerning our own conn
ty, Baldwin, and our city, Milledge
ville :
BALDWIN COUNTY.
Baldwin county lies west of Han
cock and Washington counties. Its
countv seat, Milledgeville, was for
manv years the capital of Georgia,
and the old State House and the Ex
ecutive buildings are still interesting
landmarks to visitors. They are now
vised as college buildings. The State
Lunatic Asylum is located at Milledge
ville, and with its 1,500 unfortunate
inmates will always prove an object
of great interest, as it should be the
subject of the State’s most liberal and
fostering care. It is located on the
Macon and Augusta railroad, which
is crossed at Milledgeville by a branch
line from the Central railroad at Gor
don and extending to Eatonton. No
city of its size in Georgia has shown
more improvement in the past few
years than Milledgeville. The young
men have come to the front and taken
things in hand in the town, and its
business shows marked increase and
activity.
Baldwin county has built a hand
some Court House in Milledgeville
which is an important improve
rnent and an ornament to the city
The branch of the State University
at Milledgeviile and the presence of
other fine schools affords splendid ed
ucational facilities. The population
of the county in 1880, was 13,806, but
these figures will be largely increased
in the next census. The lands in the
county may be classed as light sandy
uplands, with clay subsoil, and light
lowland soils. In 1880 Baldwin had
1,066 farms valued at $755,697, the
products of which were valued at
*609,925. These farms produced 125,-
572 bushels of corn, 23,954 bushels of
oats, 10,160 bushels of wheat, 4,8/0
bales of cotton, 26,482 gallons of mo
lasses, 1,726 bushels of Irish potatoes,
38,811 bushels of sweet potatoes and
15,979 pounds of rice.
In 1880 there were twenty-nine
manufacturing establishme n t s in
Baldwin with a capital of $55,3 0, con
suming material valued at $94,195 and
the value of whose products was $130,-
543
The total number of acres ^turned
in 1886 is 153,605, valued at $^7,044.
The value of the live stock of the
county is $117,200, and of the aggre
gate property of the whole county, as
returned, is $1,534,033.
Minister Manning has wiitten a
letter for publication, to Mr Percy
Roberts an eminent lawyer of New
Orleans,’ rebutting.the seriousi -harg-
pt; made against him. His denial ot
in ”m“rence is specific and backed
hv pomnetent proof. It appears that
the sc“Sdal was “a thing devised by
the enemy.”
Tpnder-hearted young lady—“O!

THEATRICAL-THE TWO JOHNS.
It is really a pleasure in these days
of shoddy and shams to meet with
something that we can cominen and
praise with a clear conscience; having
in view at the same time the interest*
of the public. This pleasure was
most fully enjoyed by us on Wednes
day night last, when an excellent com
pany presented at Amusement Hall
that most laughable comedy, which
has been so highly commended in the
press, “The Two Johns.” Clean,
sparkling with wit and humor, filled
with the most ludicrous situations and
combinations, and without a dull or
tedious incident in it, to mar the gen
eral effect, it took hold upon the sym
pathy and favor of a-full house at the
beginning and increased the same till
the end. And such laughter and
merriment, and so continuous through
out the rendition, (which was longer
we think than such entertainments
usually are) we do not remember ever
to have seen. This, we know, is strong
commendation, but wo mean in all
sencerity every word of it. The act
ing of Messrs. J. O. Stewart and Paul
Dresser, who represented the princi
pal characters—The Two Johns—was
excellent, and they were so well sus
tained by the entire company in the
performance of the other parts that
we find no cause to discriminate in
our criticism of their acting even if
we felt inclined to do so. We can
with all sincerity say that all seemed
to be imbued with "the spirit of the
parts assigned to them respectively
and there was no hitch nor jar to mar
the effect of the whole. We can and
do heartily commend this company
and their play of “The Two Johns”
to all lovers of fun and good honest
laughter in the way of theatrical
amusements.
There was good order preserved in
the large audience and we noticed
that our country friends, to some ex
tent, braved the discomfort of a cold
night to enjoy the pleasure of the
play. We feel pretty confident tl.at
they did not regret it.
