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 chinery. I L -j| "’T were well done, were it done quickly." i Re-Union of the Ex-Cadets. A small, but enthusiastic body of the ex-Oadets of tlie M. G. M. & A. 1 College, held a meeting in Col. J. T. Allen's office, last Thursday evening, for the purpose of discussing the re- ; turn of the former cadets of this ool- 1 lege at the annual commencement next June. The following is a copy! of the minutes handed us by the Sec- j retary: Mlt,LKD(lEVILLK, GA., > i March 8rcl, ls87. > Meeting called to order by Mr. .1. D. Lane, who nominated Col. J. T.

If you believe that nothing inani mate could possibly make you laugh, you ought to test it by going out to the asylum and seeing two little fig ures (monkeys) that some lunatic has constructed and put up in the front yard. Moved by the force of the breeze, one turns a crunk while the other turns suinersaults and so many ridiculous “monkey motions,” you would in spite of yourself laugh as much at it as ever you did at the circus.
