There were 8 or 9 bales of cotton
sold on Friday, and several on Sat

some from ooming In, and also inter

several bales put up in Cotton bag

Are there more girls than boys in
Milledgeville? Who knows? At a
guess we would say there are many
more girls than boys. As to marriage

twice as many as there are marriage
able young men.
The first of September put an end

The State’• Property in Milled**.
▼file.
Wo learn with regret that a bill ie pend
ing in the House of Representatives to sell
all the State’s property In tills city, except
the college anil campus. Ten yours ago
by act of the legislature all tho property
of tile state located in this city, was com
mitted anil loaned to the Trustees of ti,e
State University to aid In establishing and
maintaining the Middle Georgia Military
and Agricultural college, a branch of the
University In this placo.
Hon. Robt. Whitfield, Hon. L. N. Calla
way anil Hon. Ivy W. Duggan wont be
fore tho committee to whom this bill was
referred and protested agatnsV the bill.
We loam the committee, however, decidod
to report in favor of the passage of the
bill.
The withdrawal of said property from
tho use to which It has beon committed by
tho State would seriously embarrass the
Local,Board in maintaining the college; tne
Income from rentals amounting to nearly
one thousand dollars per annum, when all
the property is rented. The Executive
Mansion la used for Barracks for the Ca
dets, and the sale of this property would
Interfere seriously with the discipline nnd
efficiency of the Military Department.—
The Local Board havo during the college
vacation, just dosed, expended a consider
able sum in repairing the Bnrracks. Ju6t
hero It Is proper to state that the appropri
ation made by the legislature, last year,
was restricted entirely to repairing the
“Old Capitol Building," and the local Trus
tees havo been compelled to keep up tho
repairs on the other prifparty. The resi
dences on the Penitentiary square wore iu
a dilapidated condition when received from
the State and have required an annual ex
penditure of money to keep them In a hab
itable condition. By proper care, however,
tho local board havo been able to realize
from rontals a sum that materially aids
tho college, but is insignificant to the State.
Under authority, of the act establishing
tho college, a portion of tne Penitentiary
grounds havo been leased for a term of
years.
It is earnestly hoped by our citizens that
the legislature will leave this property to
the uses to which It hus been committed
In the establishment of tbe branch college
here. The removal of the seat of govern
ment and the abandonment by the State
of her property In this city, oaused u su
rious loss to our citizens who purchased
property here under the pledge of the
state that Milledgeville was to bo the per
manent capital. Our poople have accepted
the loan of this property os virtually a
gift—a slight recompense for the damage
done them by the removal of the capital.
A school has been established here that is
an honor to the State—no Institution of
learning In her limits has more pupils or
is doing more thorough and useful work.
We do not think It would look very becom
ing in the legislature, just as soon as they
are seated In their new million dollar Cap
itol, to jump on us and take away the pro
perty they abandoned hero "to tho owls
and bats.”

to make it to the interest of those who
will favor me with their trade.
