The Milledgeville Iron and Machin
ery Works are now an established
f |; ( , . increase of the capital stcek
of this company would be a good and
safe investment. The master machin
ist estimates that in two years they
will employ fifty hands. ‘Why not
bring about this desirable result at
once by increasing tlie capital ami ca
pacity of these Works. And why not
establish also extensive works witli
improved machinery run by steam for
the manufacture of furniture, hubs,
spokes, axe-handles, barrels, buckets.
&c., &c.; in fact everything made of
wood. Milledgeville is favorably lo
cated for large wood shops. On the
Oconee river below this city there are
large quantities of excellent timber—
hickory, walnut, white and water oak,
poplar, ash, &o., &o. Not to utilize
tins bountiful gift of Nature and
then look with envious eyes on the
thrift and prosperity of less favored
sections, putH to the blush the boast
ed enterprise of our citizens. Let's
take hold of the plain duties that lie
before us. It is the duty of those
whom God has blessed with capital or
credit to use it to give employment to
those who need it—so shall prosperi
ty and happiness smile upon us.
Shops for the manufacture of this
timber would help to secure the much
talked of steamboat on the Oconee,
whose long-continued song of “Use
Me,” lias been unheard.
The two establishments suggested,
under wise and skilled superintend
ents with the best machinery and ex
perienced foremen over good work
men in the several branches of man
ufacture in wood and iron would bring
at leust one hundred families to this
city. This would create a demand for
new houses, more merchandize, &c.
These workmen could secure cheap
building lots, and by becoming mem
bers of our Building & Loan Associa
tion, soon secure themselves comfort
able homes where they could educate
their children at one of the best col
leges in the country.
The establishment of these and sim
ilar industries appeal to our citizens
not only because they would increase
the prosperity of our city, but be
cause they would furnish our boys
the opportunity to learn useful trades
at home—an inestimable benefit to
them for which parents would be de
voutly thankful. These enterprises
are in easy reach.
Will not the Business Union in
crease their stock in the Ironworks
and take immediate steps to establish
Wood Works. Subscribe the stock,
turn on the steam and start the ma

Re-Union of the Ex-Cadets.
A small, but enthusiastic body of
the ex-Oadets of tlie M. G. M. & A. 1

for the purpose of discussing the re- ;
